互联网提供了大量免费的消息服务。像 WhatsApp 和 Viber 这样的应用已经是我们日常生活的一部分，也是我们与亲朋好友沟通的最常见方式。但是，安全意识的提高，让人们对真正的私密聊天解决方案的需求越来越大。此外，消息类应用在我们的设备中占用了大量空间，因此一个备用聊天渠道可能对于我们与朋友分享媒体、信息和联系人很有作用。


今天，我们将了解如何使用[树莓派](https://opensource.com/resources/raspberry-pi)和 Rocket.Chat 安装一个私人聊天和消息服务器。


### 什么是 Rocket.Chat？


[Rocket.Chat](https://rocket.chat/) 是一个开源解决方案，它提供了一个增强的聊天服务。它包括媒体共享、屏幕共享和视频/音频呼叫支持等协作工具。


它可以通过浏览器或从所有主要应用商店（Google Play、App Store 等）下载使用。


除了社区版本外，Rocket.Chat 还提供企业版和专业版，包括支持和其他附加功能。


### 我们需要什么


对于这个项目，我将使用更便宜的树莓派 3A+。树莓派 3B 和 3B+ 以及树莓派 4B 应该也可以用同样的方法。


我也建议使用一块高性能 SD 卡，因为 Rocket.Chat 会给树莓派带来很大的负载。如其他文章中所述，高性能 SD 卡可显著提高 Raspbian 操作系统的性能。


我们将使用 Raspbian 的精简版本，拥有预配置的 WiFi 访问和 SSH 服务，因此不需要键盘或 HDMI 线缆。


### 分步过程


从[安装最新版本的 Raspbian Buster Lite](https://peppe8o.com/2019/07/install-raspbian-buster-lite-in-your-raspberry-pi/) 开始。


我们将使用 [Snap](https://snapcraft.io/) 简化 Rocket.Chat 安装。通过 SSH 登录并从终端输入：



```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
```

安装 Snap：



```
sudo apt-get install snapd
```

安装 Snap 后，我们需要重启系统使其正常工作：



```
sudo reboot
```

再次通过 SSH 登录，并用以下简单的命令安装 Rocket.Chat：



```
sudo snap install rocketchat-server
```

从终端安装后，请等待一段时间，让 Rocket.Chat 初始化数据库和服务。休息一下，几分钟后，你应该能够在浏览器中访问 `http://<<YOUR_RPI_IP_ADDRESS>>:3000`，你应该看到以下内容：

填写所需的表单就可以了。经过四个简单的设置窗口后，你应该会进入 Rocket.Chat 主页：

享受吧！

OK
The internet offers plenty of free messaging services. Applications like WhatsApp and Viber are part of our daily life and are the most common way we communicate with relatives and friends. But security awareness is increasing the demand for a truly private chat solution. Furthermore, messaging apps take up a lot of space in our devices, so an alternative chat channel could be useful to share media, info, and contacts with our friends.

Today we are going to see how to install a private chat and messaging server with a [Raspberry Pi](https://opensource.com/resources/raspberry-pi) and Rocket.Chat.

## What is Rocket.Chat?

[Rocket.Chat](https://rocket.chat/) is an open source solution that provides an enhanced chat service. It includes collaboration tools like media sharing, screen sharing, and video/audio calling support.

It can be used both via browser or from apps available in all the main app stores (Google Play, App Store, etc.).

In addition to the community version, Rocket.Chat also offers Enterprise and Professional versions, including support and additional features.

## What we need

For this project, I’m going to use a cheaper Raspberry Pi 3 model A+. RPI 3 models B and B+, and RPI 4 model B should also work in the same way.


I also suggest a performing SD card, because Rocket.Chat can put a heavy workload on our Raspberry Pi. As discussed in other articles, a performing SD card strongly improves Raspbian OS performance.

We’ll use a lite version of Raspbian with pre-configured WiFi access and SSH service, so there will no need for keyboards or HDMI cables.


## Step-by-step procedure

Start by [installing the last version of Raspbian Buster Lite](https://peppe8o.com/2019/07/install-raspbian-buster-lite-in-your-raspberry-pi/).

We’ll simplify Rocket.Chat installation by using [Snap](https://snapcraft.io/). Login via SSH and type from the terminal:

```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
```


Install Snap:

`sudo apt-get install snapd`


For Snap installation, we need a system reboot to make it work:

`sudo reboot`


Login again via SSH and install the Rocket.Chat server with the simple command:

`sudo snap install rocketchat-server`


After installing from the terminal, please wait a while for Rocket.Chat to initialize its database and services. Have a cup of tea, and after a few minutes you should be able to reach with your browser the address http://<<YOUR_RPI_IP_ADDRESS>>:3000 and you should see the following:

![Rocket Chat setup wizard Rocket Chat setup wizard](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/rocket-chat-setup-wizard.jpg)

Complete the required forms, and everything should go fine. After four simple setup windows, you should reach the Rocket.Chat home page:

Enjoy!
