Can Rocket.Chat use less hardware dependent libs ?

[renxuqiang]

After I upgrade RC to 0.62, it fails to deploy on CentOS 6, and I guess plenty servers use this os. I fell a little sad about this.

when use Node.js, most of us think about cross platform, but RC use more and more libs require build on specific machine, to have deploy RC 0.61, I have to install a GCC v4.8 ( fibers can not install with gcc v4.4)
I know some import libs require hardware related (like fibers, bcrypt), but why some less used libs like Sharp must be added to the dependencies?

I like RC very much since I meet it, but now fell sad about such a good open source project.

Yup - see this

FWIW you can install it on docker..... I have a test one set up, though 'latest' is 61.2 so not sure what will happen when they update to 0.62

@rocket-cat close

I see your point here, yet this seems to be a topic that is best discussed in the forums. That's why I'm closing this issue and refer you to https://forums.rocket.chat.

The actual issue of the sharp dependency is, as @reetp suggested, handled in #9943.
