rocketchat_settings_porter

Import and Export Rocketchat-settings via the API. Enables config-management via CI/CD.

Dependencies

• python3
• python3-requests
• rocketchat_API
• (Docker + docker-compose)

Usage

Run as a container besides your rocketchat-instance with a Dockerfile like included.

Configure with the environment variables API_HOST (http://rocketchat:3000), API_USER, API_PASS, SETTINGS_PATH (location of the export/import json) and the volume mounted at the settings_path.

Start with the args:

• "import": Import all settings from the mounted file
• "export_all": Export all current settings to the mounted file
• "export_changed": Export only settings with non-default-values to the mounted file
• "test": Test the functionality. See below.

Test

The docker-compose_*.yaml in the tests/ directory starts a rocketchat-server. As the interaction with MongoDB changed since RC v1.0, use the compose file depending on your version of rocketchat. Then, run the exporter with the argument test.

Meta-Build

To keep the defaults up-to-date when a new rocketchat-version is released, the update_defaults.sh is run on a server commiting and pushing new default-files to the repo, which will be rebuild by Docker Hub.
