Self-hosted team chat: rooms, DMs, calls, and an HTTP API, shipped as a single Rust binary. Talk on your own terms.
Live staging: https://chat.a8n.systems. Sign in with Bunyip; a throwaway account created at https://a8n.systems works.
Staging shows features in development, not a polished demo. It tracks the latest build from
main, and its data can be reset or redeployed without notice - rooms, messages, and uploads are throwaway. Do not reuse a real password.
Everything else is in docs/, indexed there in full:
- quickstart.md - run the container, or bring up the local dev stack
- configuration.md - every environment variable and what it gates
- features.md - what the product does, surface by surface
- operations.md - health probes and boot dependencies
- architecture.md - the stack, the build modes, the repository layout
- api.md - the JSON HTTP API v1, scopes, and webhooks
Upgrading a deployment starts with CHANGELOG.md, which calls out behavior changes, security fixes, and new variables you may need to set first.
The development home for this repository is https://dev.a8n.run/psa-systems/lets-chat. The GitHub and Codeberg copies are read-only mirrors that exist for visibility only: issues and pull requests are disabled there, and no community support runs on the mirrors. File issues and open pull requests on Forgejo.
Please do not report a suspected vulnerability through the public issue tracker, on Forgejo or on either mirror: filing it there publishes it. Contact a maintainer privately instead. A published disclosure address and a SECURITY.md are being set up and this section will link to them.
