Rocket.chat: FreeBSD Deployment Error

[ButGuc]

Hello,

I use this document. https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/community-supported-installation/freebsd/

But, I get an error during this process.

npm install --clang=1 bcrypt

Output:

npm ERR! code Z_DATA_ERROR
npm ERR! errno -3
npm ERR! invalid distance too far back

FreeBSD 10.3
NPM 6.0.1
Node.JS 10.9.0

Thanks.

@piotrkochan okay but, problem just also in the repo.

Try with node 8.* and corresponding npm version (maybe 5.6?)

Working fine on FreeBSD 11.2, however we're running node 8.11.3 and npm to 6.4.0. You might want to try performing a downgrade of node as suggested by @piotrkochan.

@ButGuc Please move this to Rocket.Chat Forums Since this is a community supported installation guide. Thanks!

I solved the problem using another operating system. thank you for everything.

@ButGuc If you're interested in deploying Rocket.Chat on FreeBSD, I wrote a simple script to deploy Rocket.Chat on FreeBSD. I've only tested it with FreeBSD 11.2, so I'm not sure if it will meet your needs.
