    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Usage instructions

    Thanks for installing Rocket.Chat!

    You'll likely want a registered domain name to access Rocket.Chat.

    We recommend setting up an A record from your domain to your servers IP address. Ex: chat.mycompany.com

    Rocket.Chat will not work with HTTPS out of the box because certificates are unique for each installation, but with this setup HTTPS will be available using Let's Encrypt certificates.

    After the Rocket.Chat AMI installation is finished and your domain is setup. You will need to login to your instance to finish setup.

    ssh root@your_ec2_instance

I like that we can mention each tech and specifically address each issue in the chat, which makes it easier to report certain issues to specific people. The initial setup of Rocket.Chat was very helpful for our team. Overall, everything looks good, and I would highly recommend it.

    Robust Customization with Ownership, But Needs UI Refresh

    Reviewed on Dec 11, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I like that the interface is clean and easy for people to adopt. The customization options actually matter because you can tailor channels, permissions, and integrations, which prevents you from being boxed into someone else's workflow. Having full control over data and hosting is a major win, making security and compliance easier to manage. The integrations with automation tools and external systems work smoothly, and the API gives you room to build whatever you need. I also appreciate having ownership over the communication platform instead of just renting it. The initial setup was easy.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The UI is dated and needs a cleaner, more modern look.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Rocket.Chat gives me full control over data and hosting, which makes security and compliance easier to manage. The smooth integrations with automation tools and external systems, along with a customizable interface, allow me to tailor workflows extensively instead of being limited by preset options.

    Affordable and Customizable Communication Solution

    Reviewed on Dec 09, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I like using Rocket.Chat for its control, customization, and user experience. Having control over data is really important to me because it addresses data sovereignty, letting me know exactly where conversations, files, and user data are stored, which is great for privacy, compliance, and security. Rocket.Chat also serves as a more affordable alternative to Slack, which helps with reducing costs.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Self-hosting and maintenance can be a bit demanding, especially for smaller teams without dedicated DevOps teams or capacity.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Rocket.Chat solves communication silos and offers a more affordable alternative to Slack. I like the control over data for privacy, compliance, and security.

    Effortless Communication, Needs UI Polish

    Reviewed on Nov 22, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I appreciate Rocket.Chat for its flexibility and ability to support our workflow effectively. It allows us to create an almost unlimited number of channels and integrate various bots, which significantly enhances our communication capabilities. The platform provides real-time notifications from different business systems, which is crucial for staying updated. I love that Rocket.Chat is lightweight and fast, operating smoothly on all devices, whether we are in the office or on the move. This comprehensive functionality allows it to fully replace our previous need for Slack. Its seamless integration with our existing tools and systems, such as monitoring platforms and custom bots, centralizes notifications and streamlines communication across teams, making it an invaluable asset. One of the standout benefits is the option for self-hosting, which gives us full control over our data and infrastructure—an essential factor since we handle highly sensitive information.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    There are a few areas that could be improved for sure. Some integrations require additional setup or plugins, and occasional updates introduce small interface quirks that need adjustment. A more polished mobile UI and smoother notification handling would also make the experience even better.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Rocket.Chat centralizes our internal communication, integrates automated alerts and bots, works on all devices, and replaces Slack, making communication seamless whether in the office or on the move.
