Issue with deploying Rocket.Chat via Docker Compose

Docker Engine Compose

I am following these instructions but both containers are failing. I am getting this error in my docker logs rocketchat-rocketchat-1 :

The container for rocketchat-mongodb-1 is also failing but the only issue I see in its logs are

mongodb 02:21:18.54 INFO  ==>

This is my full compose.yml file:

Also this is the .env file contents:

### Rocket.Chat configuration

# Rocket.Chat version
# see:- https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/releases
RELEASE=6.5.1
# MongoDB endpoint (include ?replicaSet= parameter)
#MONGO_URL=
# MongoDB endpoint to the local database
#MONGO_OPLOG_URL=
# IP to bind the process to
#BIND_IP=
# URL used to access your Rocket.Chat instance
ROOT_URL=http://10.100.10.36:3000
# Port Rocket.Chat runs on (in-container)
#PORT=
# Port on the host to bind to
#HOST_PORT=

### MongoDB configuration
# MongoDB version/image tag
#MONGODB_VERSION=
# See:- https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/mongodb

### Traefik config (if enabled)
# Traefik version/image tag
#TRAEFIK_RELEASE=
# Domain for https (change ROOT_URL & BIND_IP accordingly)
#DOMAIN=
# Email for certificate notifications
#LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=

Any idea what the issue is?

It seems MongoDB is not starting because of missing MONOGODB_CONF_DIR env var, and RocketChat is not starting because MongoDB is not running :slightly_smiling_face:

So where should I add that MONOGODB_CONF_DIR, and what value should I assign it?

4

I’m having this exact problem. Any other solutions besides trying a different version or mongodb version because I have tried both?

Seems to be fixed now (link).

Note that you do not set a MongoDB version variable, so it will default to 5.0. You need to manually do a pull like docker compose pull to update to latest image.

6

@bluepuma77 So what is the exact docker compose pull that I should run? Also should I do a docker compose pull for both the RocketChat and MongoDB images? Or just the MongoDB?

7

Run it within the directory your docker-compose.yml file is located, it will update all images used in the file. This is especially useful for latest tag and versions without fixed patch level (like 5.0), so you get newer and fixed versions, because this is not done automatically.

Ah I see, just run docker compose pull without anything extra in the directory and it will pull
