Nextcloud Rocket.Chat App

The Nextcloud Rocket.Chat App integration offers a very powerful Open Source collaboration platform with a very high level of security and ownership. The flexibility to enjoy features from both solutions combined gives you a step further to use the ultimate open-source alternative to MS 365.

Nextcloud Rocket.Chat App Setup

Prerequisites

To use the Nextcloud Rocket.App, you are expected to have the following workspaces running:

{% hint style="warning" %} Connecting Nextcloud with Rocket.Chat requires your Rocket.Chat sever to be on an SSL-protected domain. This is strictly for security reasons. {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %} You need to make the following changes to your Rocket.Chat settings

  • Have two-factor Authentication disabled on your Rocket.Chat settings Administration > Workspace > Settings > Accounts > Two Factor Authentication
  • Disable Restrict access inside any Iframe Administration > Workspace > Settings > General > Restrict access inside any Iframe
  • Enable to send and receive data inside an iframe Administration > Workspace > Settings > General > Iframe Integration {% endhint %}

Setup

When that is all done, follow these procedures to get setup

  • Go to your Nextcloud Dashboard and navigate to the Apps section

  • Navigate down to the Social & Communication category and locate the Rocket.Chat App then Download and Enable

  • Head over to your Nextcloud settings section and you will find a Rocket.Chat menu, open it to proceed with linking your Rocket.Chat workspace

  • Fill in the Rocket.Chat URL, admin username, and password to authenticate, click on Connect and Save. This will automatically generate an access token and userId to be used

  • After connecting, the Admin User ID and Admin Token will be automatically filled, and your app is ready for use

  • Now along with other existing Nextcloud apps, you should see you now have Rocket.Chat included

  • Clicking on the Rocket.Chat icon will open up the chat interface like normal, all within Nextcloud.
