The guide below describes how to install Rocket.Chat on Ubuntu 22.04 It's easy to install with the Snap package manager.
Feel free to read.
To begin with, we update the package repositories and the system itself.
1 | apt-get update -y |
1 | apt-get upgrade -y |
Let's search for the package in the snap:
1 | sudo snap search rocketchat-server |
And we install it:
1 | sudo snap install rocketchat-server |
We add port to the firewall, if used:
1 | sudo ufw allow 3000 |
We now go in the browser under :
our IP address:3000 and we do the initial configuration and create an administrator account:
To go to the administration panel, go to the address:
1 | http://naszadresip:3000/admin |
if we want our chat to be not only available at our IP address, we will use nginx as a proxy.
We install nginx

we create a vhost:
1 | sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/rocketchat.conf |
