  • I know I didn’t mention it in my post, but I do have a couple requirements:

    • Self-hosted
    • Web client
    • Voice/video conference/group
    • Private messaging

    Nice-to-haves:

    • Native mobile/desktop app
    • Modern UI
    • Lightweight

    I have my sights on Snikket at the moment, but that was one I couldn’t get up and running. I can reach out with errors and maybe get it running, but my point stands that Docker Compose is supposed to be as hands-off as it gets, but some devs seem to not get that.


  • I’ve gone through like 5 different services trying to set one up. Am I dumb or does no one know how to make a straightforward docker compose? I thought the whole point of Compose was to copy-paste a config, change a few variables and hit go. Several of these assume you know so much about how to setup these services and then just leave you to your devices.

    I want like 5 or 6 variables in an .env file. No reason I should have to spin up my own database and link it when you should be containerizing the entire thing in the first place. The only services so far that I’ve had any success setting up are Mattermost (which doesn’t offer group calls) and VoceChat (which I can’t get the voice to work in).

    All the others either don’t offer voice at all or I can’t get past the setup.
