Installing Rocket.Chat on CentOS 7

scottalanmiller

Should be able to curl that directly into BASH as root and automagically you have a one line installer

Is there anyway to make the URL more conformed?

For example: https://github.com/scottalanmiller/rocketchat

I would like a easy to remember URL

So https://github.com/scottalanmiller/<appname>

I know nothing about GitHub, so maybe it is not possible.

Or maybe you create one "master" script that lets us select a app to install

LOL, actually that would not be all that hard. Then just that one script would need to detect your OS (CentOS, Ubuntu, etc.) and then pull the right script to install from that. That would actually work.

@scottalanmiller One script to rule them all! evil laugh

Reid Cooper

One script to BIND them.

Alex Sage

@scottalanmiller Why not add one question at the very beginning, and ask for the URL? That's the only input needed.

I see what you did there. It's very clever.

Double check what folder you are running that from.

Is the RocketChat supposed to start automatically if I have to reboot the system?

Is it possible to give the ability to login without credentials? I was thinking I could use this to answer questions related to my companies field for perspective families but the moment they have to setup an account I'm betting a lot of them won't.
