Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A self-hosted chat server for text, channels, direct messages, and files that lets separate organisations connect their own servers directly.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

Each installation keeps its own users, message history, files, and federation identity in a PostgreSQL-backed server, then connects to another organisation through administrator-approved trust. The documented setup uses Docker Compose, PostgreSQL, Caddy, and optionally ClamAV, with a CLI covering DNS, certificates, storage, backups, restores, and health checks. The site also specifies a local-storage ceiling that leaves one quarter of the disk free.
