Registration of the workspace is unskippable in version 6.5 #31163
Comments
Indeed there are circumstances where you simply cannot connect to cloud.rocket.chat for registering. Not even once. |
I'm sorry to say that sneaking in undocumented stuff like into upgrades makes me lose faith in the integrity and trustworthiness of the Rocket.chat developer team. |
Just look at 2.5k issues. That faith is already gone... Same problem in airgap with docker. |
This is extremely lame of RocketChat. |
I don't appreciate suddenly being cut off from communicating with my team, especially when we have to discuss if the terms and conditions and privacy policy for the cloud account are acceptable to our organization. |
Thanks a lot @florisvangeel ! So for someone using snap, it means creating a file Then, restarting the server by |
Seems this issue can be closed. |
Doesn't work for me. I have set the environment variable: I have no name!@rocketchat-fitsintegration-rocketchat-5478d9df75-dw8hh:/app/bundle$ echo $OVERWRITE_SETTING_Show_Setup_Wizard
completed But when I visit the page after the update, there's still the registration wizard active and wants me to complete the process w/o any "skip" function anywhere. |
The solution provided by @provelo-ict worked for me in a docker environment ! |
OVERWRITE_SETTING_Show_Setup_Wizard=completed |
Works for me in 6.6.2, but I have to restart the service after every update to make the Wizard disappear. |
restarting in 6.6.3 did not work for me but a community member pointed out to this solution: db.rocketchat_settings.update({"_id":"Show_Setup_Wizard"}, {$set: {"value" : "completed"} }); |
I added this setting, but the wizard came up anyway. |
you need to restart rocketchat -> but that alone didnt suffice (anymore) |
Yeah, I'm deploying the helm chart with ansible to K8S, so it's being restarted anyway. But I saw, that going from 6.5.x => up the setting works. It only doesn't work going from 6.4.x => 6.5.
Oh, good to know, is there an issue for this already? |
No issue for that, i have seen some commuity reports, but I am still uncertain about the possible causes. Initially i thought it was related to (historic) Jitsi Calls in those rooms/chats -> but I am not sure anymore, still trying to pinpoint. I will try a new update approach from latest 6.5.4 -> 6.60. |
edit: never mind, still freezing on certain chats / rooms etc after going to 6.6.0 |
true, there is no 'substantial changes' between 6.5.4 and 6.6.0 so no migrations needed. This combination of client (app) enforced upgrades (current <12 days to 6.6.3) and unstable/funneled new version 6.6.x that enrols automatically into a subscription of 'Starter Licence' is deadly for user-land and potentially also for community usage. Until this is fixed i have to stick to 6.5.x and change API reported version to match the client check to keep the app behaving. |
@florisvangeel that is an interesting approach, how do you change the reported version for the API? adjusting the contents from /api/info? |
Horrible behavior. Truely horrible. Setting |
yes i still need to test this method also in relation to future |
@florisvangeel k, thanks! I am pondering if I should provide a "customized" /api/info on the reverse proxy for electron clients in the future (minimumClientVersions). Not sure if i would want to adjust the "version" (server) itself |
me neither, still need to test this route with updates, most likely within this json and introduce an environment flag like |
I just found this thread. For those of you who had trouble bypassing registration and agreement to their cloud privacy policy, please make sure that you create the environment variable set to completed for the user the user that rocketchat service is running under (usually 'rocketchat'?). Since setting that environment variable worked for me. See my issue: Does anyone have confirmation that setting that OVERWRITE_SETTING_Show_Setup_Wizard=completed actually does OPT-OUT of any data sharing to their cloud and doesn't just make the codebase think that you already "AGREED" and completed their form to agree to their privacy policy and data sharing etc? Would be great if someone can confirm this. |
Traditionally RocketChat has called to home in many ways: Also marketplace, online registration and update checks actively use RocketChat cloud services. Home page used to have direct links to call for different kind of registration schemes but those have been removed. At one point there were also several trackers assigned but not anymore; I think the RC devs were was just tracking out their user base size to consider their sales tactics. With open source this has always been quite hard to measure. |
Yes, while I do not know what RC wants to access (probably things like latest version, Marketplace information, etc ?) it does attempt to connect to the internet. For me, the UID under which it runs is not allowed to create outgoing connections. |
Thanks for the info, any of you using portmaster or opensnitch or other application firewall to more easily detect such outgoing traffic? amsnek using iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner rocketchat -j DROP ? (thought that might break chat functionality) |
in my case, it is still just with iptables with OUTPUT -m owner --uid , with REJECT and not DROP howerver, else the application will hang quite a while on startup. It can reply to established incoming connections of course from the reverse proxy/lb (haproxy) :) |
@amsnek Great! That sounds like a good setup, thanks for the tip! |
Note that if you use message previews, fetching and parsing of those happens on the server side. So you should be specific on what connections to cut. |
good point. Previews (I assume you mean loading images, videos or apps like giphy etc) are disabled in my setup though, so that is not an issue. Might still be possible to reject/ristrict outgoing traffic with a (whitelist) proxy though. |
I purposefully disable previews etc if there's option to, so I guess this limitation would be a "feature" for me? |
Is anyone having issues using the |
just the environment variable did not suffice for me.

Hello,
I've had an instance of Rocket.Chat running for three years now, and I've never had the need (let alone the desire) to register it as I don't use push notification nor store addons or anything that are limited to subscribed users.
After upgrading to version 6.5, the admin account get the modal below, without the ability to skip this step or the continue the wizard without registering.
This issue is similar to #31157 but I want to focus on the fact that there should be a way to skip the registration.
This would also be needed for instances in test environments.
