Rocket Chat and JOT Messenger

Say I wanted JOT and Rocket Chat both. Would that mean I would have to have 3 different servers just to run my website? 1. Website 2. Rocket Chat 3. JOT Messenger. Also to what degree of bandwith would I need? Seems like paying just for seperate servers will get costly. Also any updates on a Live streaming module that can be integrated?

    • Hi Will Roberts - I understand that Alexey is working hard on integrating Jitsi in Jot so live chat will be enabled, it should be available very soon. I will ask him to comment.

      • Hello!

        You don't need to have 3 different servers, because Rocket Chat and Jot messenger can work on the same node js version, thus you don't need to have any other specially configured servers.

        It is hard to say exactly about network bandwidth, because it depends on many factors. 

        We are working on Jitsi integration for video streaming, it should be available very soon.

        • Thats pretty awesome thanks. If my server provider can't respond about setting those up would I be able to use a seperate server provider? 

          • Hi Will Roberts , 

            Yes, you can install UNA, Jot and Rocket Chat on 3 different servers.

            • I wanted to have Rocket Chat and Jot on a seperate server so I really only need 2 servers. One for my website and the other for JOT and Rocket Chat

              • Yes, it is possible.

                • Can you recommend a server company just for Rocket Chat and JOT. I don't need alot of space and something under $30 to start with

                  • Would the main site and the server for JOT and Rocket Chat both need to be with the same host?

                    • Hello!

                      We recommend tdm hosting, you may see the link on our page here https://una.io/page/hosting

                      Also you may try linode https://www.linode.com/pricing, but here you need to perform all configurations by yourself.

                      Jot and Rocket Chat can be located on another hosts/server then Una script.

                      • Hi Alexey,

                        I have some questions regarding the Jot server:

                        1. Can two different websites (site A and site B) hosted on the same server (server 1) use the same Jot Server installed on the same server than them (server 1)? Will there be a conflict?

                        2. Can two websites (site A and site B) use the same Jot Server while Site A and Jot Server are both installed on the same server (server 1) and Site B is installed on another server (server 2)?

                        3. When a UNA site and the Jot Server are both installed on the same server, example a VPS, migrating that VPS to a dedicated server will also migrate the Jot Server together with the UNA site? or Maybe the Jot Server will need to be re-installed from the scratch after the server migration?

                        Thanks

                        • Hello!

                          1. Yes, it will work fine, there is no conflict.

                          2. Yes, there is no conflict, It will work.

                          3. For Jo server you will need to edit config/config.json file after migration, because it may contain paths to server's certificate files and domain ip ( if you define it).

                          The main condition to use Jot Server is to have public url which you should define in Messenger settings and you can use one Jot Server instance for many different UNA site installed on the same or different server.

                          • Brilliant! Thanks a lot. 😊 

                            • Hi Alexey. just for curiosity, where are conversations and messages saved? In the UNA site Database or on the JOT server? I really doesn't know the function of the JOT Server. What it does exactly. That's why i am asking.

                              Since two sites on the same or different servers can use the same JOT server, what about if, at a given time, one decides to migrate each site on its own server and split the JOT server, meaning making each site on its own server to have its own JOT server installed on it, How will this affect the two UNA site installations? That's why I have asked whether conversations and messages are saved  on the UNA site Database or JOT server. 

                              Because I am kinda worried if making a UNA site that was previously sharing the JOT server with another UNA site to start using its own JOT server installed on its own server, will affect the UNA site or will get the old conversations and messages deleted/lost. Thanks

                              • Hello!
                                Jot Server it is server's app which allows members to communicate  in Messenger in real time. In other words It allows to see that the user is typing a message or away or update your chat window without messenger's page reloading when you get new message.


                                Jot Server doesn't store anything in local server's files and in addition messages are not sent through the server. So, Jot Server just redirects commands from members in Messenger to update the chat window.

                                The all messages store in site's database and Jot Server don't see them and doesn't save them.

                                • Thanks a lot Alexey, I understand JOT server better now. So disconnecting a UNA site from an existing JOT server, and then, connecting it to another JOT server (a fresh JOT Server installation on another server) wouldn't do the UNA site any harm, right?

                                  • Yes, you are right!

                                    You can also use one Jot Server for many sites.

                                    • That's great. Thx.
