    • Chore: Script to start Rocket.Chat in HA mode during development (#22398)

    Sometimes we need to start Rocket.Chat in High-Availability mode (cluster) during development to test how a feature behaves or hunt down a bug. Currently, this involves a lot of commands with details that might be lost if you haven't done it in a while.

    This PR intends to provide a really simple way for us to start many instances of Rocket.Chat connected in a cluster.
