Place this app in nextcloud/apps/

Not tested yet with 4.8.x and 5.x.x

Rocket Chat Configuration

• If you get something like "refused to connect" and/or "ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE" then you need to go to "Administration -> General -> Options to X-Frame-Options" and add your Nextcloud URL e.g. https://rgwit.mydomain.com
• In order to add members to a chat about a file directly from the discussion view an admin must go to "Administration -> Layout -> User Interface" and check "Show top navbar in embedded layout"
• To be able to register users and get an auth token, your RocketChat server MUST have the Environment Variable "CREATE_TOKENS_FOR_USERS=true" set. In a standard installation, just add it (without double quotes, for sure) in /lib/systemd/system/rocketchat.service
• UPDATE SINCE 4.8.x The user that will authenticate in the NextCloud MUST HAVE THE ROLE OF BOT!

NextCloud Configuration

• As an NextCloud admin go to "Settings -> Administration -> Rocket Chat"
• Provide the Rocket Chat installation URL, Admin user name and Password and Click Connect and Register
