Installation guide for rhel8 (likely same for rhel7) missing information on how to properly install rabbitmq and nodejs

[haiwu]

The installation guide for rhel8 (https://docs.stackstorm.com/install/rhel8.html) is missing information on how to properly install rabbitmq and nodejs v10.

For rabbitmq, need to ensure following yumrepo in place first: [rabbitmq] name=rabbitmq baseurl=https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/el/8/x86_64/ enabled=1 ....

To properly install st2chatops via "yum install -y st2chatops", we need to issue this command first: yum module disable -y nodejs

Otherwise rhel8 will complain with following errors: Error: Problem: package st2chatops-3.2.0-2.x86_64 requires nodejs >= 2:8.0, but none of the providers can be installed

Thanks for the report.

Check https://docs.stackstorm.com/latest/install/rhel8.html#install-dependencies Compare with https://docs.stackstorm.com/install/rhel8.html#install-dependencies

So while the fix (https://github.com/StackStorm/st2docs/pull/993) is already in the master branch and available under latest development tag (https://github.com/StackStorm/st2docs/blob/master/docs/source/install/rhel8.rst), the issue here is that we'll need to cherry-pick it into default 3.2 stable branch (https://github.com/StackStorm/st2docs/blob/v3.2/docs/source/install/rhel8.rst).

That's an oversight. This is a good first issue, help wanted, contributions are welcome.
