Long time GitLab user here. I'm not sure how I feel about the possibility of GitLab shipping with a persistent chat application. On one hand, much of GitLab is about collaboration, and there are many interesting integration points between the two products. On the other, I prefer the ecosystem of choice per product. I assume that RocketChat could be disabled, or perhaps there would be the option of getting RocketChat and non-RocketChat omnibus installers. Enabling RocketChat on the same server for a large number of users would have hardware implications, and then you're going to through MongoDB in there two (which RocketChat uses). It just feels like too much going on in one system.
- pfg 11y agoI believe Mattermost is disabled by default and supports the option of running on a separate server, so that will hopefully be how RocketChat is integrated as well!
- sytse 11y agoIndeed, RocketChat will be disabled by default as well. It will have a different url (FQDN) so you can run it on a separate server if you want to. We will only ship Rocket Chat if it uses PostgreSQL instead of MongoDB as noted in release announcement.
