Rocket.Chat VPS Server - Private Team Messaging Offshore
Rocket.Chat is a feature-rich, open-source communication platform that combines team messaging, video conferencing, file sharing, and omnichannel customer support in one self-hosted package. On an AnubizHost offshore VPS, your Rocket.Chat instance runs on infrastructure you own, in a jurisdiction you choose, with no corporate intermediary reading your conversations.

Rocket.Chat Feature Set for Teams and Businesses
Rocket.Chat offers more out of the box than Slack or Mattermost: team channels, threaded conversations, video and audio calls via Jitsi integration, screen sharing, file sharing, bot framework, app marketplace, and an omnichannel module that lets your team manage live chat, email, and social media inquiries from one interface. The Community Edition is fully free and open-source. For businesses moving off Microsoft Teams or Slack, Rocket.Chat provides a migration path without the vendor lock-in that comes with SaaS communication platforms. Self-hosting on AnubizHost means there is no seat licensing cost and no per-message storage fee.
Server Requirements and Deployment
Rocket.Chat runs on Node.js with a MongoDB backend. For teams under 50 users, 2 GB RAM and 2 CPU cores handle production load well. Larger deployments should plan for 4 GB RAM and SSD storage for MongoDB performance. The Docker Compose deployment is the recommended production path:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/RocketChat/Docker.Official.Image.git rc-docker
cd rc-docker
docker compose up -d
```
Configure the ROOT_URL and SMTP settings in the environment file before launching. AnubizHost VPS plans provide NVMe SSDs that keep MongoDB write performance consistent even during peak messaging hours. Set up automated mongodump backups daily to keep recovery point objectives tight.
Offshore Jurisdiction and Data Security
Rocket.Chat's self-hosted deployment combined with AnubizHost's offshore infrastructure creates a communication environment where data sovereignty is absolute. No US CLOUD Act, no EU Article 6 third-country transfer issues (for Icelandic hosting within EEA), and no SaaS provider reading your support tickets or employee chats. TLS encrypts data in transit, and MongoDB encryption at rest can be configured with a few lines in the MongoDB config. AnubizHost does not require identity documents for account creation - combined with cryptocurrency payment, you can operate a Rocket.Chat instance for a distributed global team with minimal organizational exposure.
