Fixing RocketChat losing network connectivity at lxc container

To run multiple RocketChat instances, to not let rocketchat-caddy mess up main Caddy, main Caddy at Caddyfile needs to proxy to each RocketChat lxc container where RocketChat container is running, like this:

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/main/docs/Platforms/FOSS/Snap/Many-Snaps-on-LXC.md

For RocketChat, ofteb lxc containers lose network connectivity. Fix was these commands from this webpage: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/containers-do-not-have-outgoing-internet-access/10844/3

for ipt in iptables iptables-legacy ip6tables ip6tables-legacy; do $ipt --flush; $ipt --flush -t nat; $ipt --delete-chain; $ipt --delete-chain -t nat; $ipt -P FORWARD ACCEPT; $ipt -P INPUT ACCEPT; $ipt -P OUTPUT ACCEPT; done

systemctl reload snap.lxd.daemon

After that, lxc containers needs updates and reboot:

./into-rocketchat.sh

./update.sh

reboot

That causes exit from lxc container to main bare metal host or main VM, where under those lxc containers are running.

NOTE: These iptables changes also disables ufw firewall.

Also, it seems that having Hetzner bare metal server firewall enabled at Hetzner control panel does not work well.

RocketChat Skip Install Registration Wizard Fix

Q:

A:

For someone using snap, it means creating a file /var/snap/rocketchat-server/common/override-setup-wizard.env (the name of the file itself could be anything as long as it has an .env extension) and setting its content to OVERWRITE_SETTING_Show_Setup_Wizard=completed

Then, restarting the server by systemctl restart snap.rocketchat-server.rocketchat-server.service

If it does not work yet, then reboot.

Workspace version unsupported

Q:

A:

  1. Change to newest Snap Stable channel, list at https://snapcraft.io/rocketchat-server dropdown menu
sudo snap refresh rocketchat-server --channel=7.x/stable --amend
  1. Register your Self-Managed instance here, so login and mobile app start to work after that:
