Field notes
The setup path starts with uploading a package to a Linux server, then running a script that is described as handling the service, HTTPS, and firewall configuration. The page also outlines invitation, password, or open server access, along with role and channel-level permissions. It says the desktop client can connect to several instances at once and that bots share the client interface, with a Rust SDK.
