Possibility to configure snap installation

[scoopex]

SNAP packages seem to be a neat possibility to run rocketchat in a uncomplicated way.

I am missing the possibility to configure things like: (things like https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Docs/blob/master/5.%20Administrator%20Guides/Create%20the%20first%20admin.md)

• mongodb access credentials
• mongodb listen port/address
• rocket chat listen port/address
• rocket chat mongo url
• admin access: login, password, mailaddress

Does ubuntu snap provide a possibility to make permanent settings for services?

Probably these possibilities already exist - detailed configuration would be nice: https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/manual-installation/ubuntu/snaps/

don't know access credientials, as for admin account, it's the first account created on a fresh rocketchat install automatically. rocketchat port is 3000 by default, if you want it on another port then configure caddy or use another webserver that supports transparrent proxy. the url is whatever url you point at your ip. again, admin details are the first account you create on rocketchat, it's automatically made admin.

With snaps it is possible and it's for sure planned! 👍

Great, my main motivation for this is issue was to change the rocketchat listen interface to "127.0.0.1"

@scoopex absolutely just need to finish out the code to allow configure and reboot Rocket.Chat after the configuration is changed

Will this allow us to run mongo queries in a snap as well? I'm worried that I'll run into something like #6588 on a snap installation, and be unable to get in under the hood to fix the problem.

You actually can already do this. Mongo shell should be accessible via: rocketchat-server.mongo

Will be mostly solved by: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/12351
