Plesk version and microupdate number

Hi everyone ,
I hope your time and day is going well ❣️

In those days I discovered the open source live chat "Chatwoot" and I would like install on a Plesk server to try to see if I can replace the actual PHP live chat I'm using.
Seems that ChatWoot is not written in PHP.

I tried in a test server to install ChatWoot as explained here but running the install.sh broke the Plesk Panel.
There is a way I still run other app like Wordpress, ecc then run on PHP in the Plesk server and also install on the same server the ChatWoot?

Could you help me with some suggestion?
I don't know Docker, I means I don't have any experience with Docker but I'm asking if maybe the solution is to use Docker.
With Docker the Chatwoot will not broke Plesk?

The provided link has a docker-compose how-to. However, Plesk Docker extension is not yet compatible with docker-conpose.

The article also says how to build the Docker nodes manually (Docker Chatwoot Production deployment guide | Chatwoot). You will need 2 empty folders and in each folder a file called Dockerfile. In each Dockerfile, you will have to paste the commands from the article and then run ``docker build .``
After the images are built you can deploy them from the Plesk Docker interface. Don't forget to set the environment variables Environment Variables | Chatwoot

You will also need a Docker container running redis/redis-stack-server image. I prefer this image over the main one because you have an environment variable to set the Redis password.

Hi Raul, I'm happy to read your reply also if I still have no idea on how I can install Chatwoot .
I hope your day and time is going well

Seems to be complicated install Chatwoot on Plesk, I also looked for video on YouTube about Chatwoot on a Plesk server but nothing exist.

The provided link has a docker-compose how-to. However, Plesk Docker extension is not yet compatible with docker-conpose.

Mmmmm ok so I cannot follow the Chatwoot documentation for Docker, I suppose.. also if I have zero experience with Docker.

The article also says how to build the Docker nodes manually

Umh... ok umh... what is the first step I can try in Plesk to start a try to install Chatwoot?

You will need 2 empty folders

I had to create two empty folder as first step or next some steps and what folder? Umh I have no idea

I think without a tutorial step by step I will be not able to do.
I should give up but I don't want to

Hum never mind
I tested Chatwoot by registering on their website and the chat miss important features (like live visitors, conversations deletion, ban, etc) that I have in my current live chat so will not install it. Also too hard install Resolved for now, thank you for the help!

Just as a little FYI, Docker Compose is now supported with the recent Docker extension update
