📬 Spacebar is a free open source selfhostable discord compatible communication platform - spacebarchat/spacebarchat

Spacebar is a free, opensource selfhostable discord-compatible chat, voice and video platform.

  • Discord-compatible (Use all your custom clients/bots with minimal changes)
  • Selfhostable (Server)
  • Open Source (GitHub Organization)
  • Configurable (Configure every aspect and limits to your needs)
  • Decentralized (no abuse of power and doesn’t have a single point of failure)
  • Extendable (secure and cross-platform plugin system)
  • Themeable (cross-platform theme system with design editor)
  • Secure (publicly audited and hosted FOSS software for transparent foundation in terms of security)

https://docs.spacebar.chat/faq/

Currently there is no voice or video support in any Spacebar instance. This is a very difficult feature to get working, especially given that we must implement it the exact same way as Discord.com for client compatibility. We would be incredibly thankful for any assistance.

Damn.

Yeah I’d love to move my gang off discord but getting them to go back to team speak or vent is not happening

Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

If only it didn’t looked like a 20 year old software.

Some of the best stuff in the world looks like it’s 20 years past a prime that isn’t, because they’re truly good eternal.

Maybe it’s just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI

I don’t know about the UX, but if you want peoples to use your app, it need to look nice.

I find the login page of discord intelorable, it has ugly EULA on it that I will never sign

Discord is also quite the resource hog. Trying to run the web version on weaker phones is a slog.

Yay mumble!

And I agree: it’s better. I think it’s faster and that, IMHO, is where the power is. It can look boring like a hammer as long as it’s intuitive … like a hammer.

oh no!! good thing that doesn’t impact anything

It’s voice chat, you choose a server and then minimize to tray, you never have to look at it…

Same, if only teamspeak supported screen sharing / streaming, then it would be fine.

I thought discord streaming was so dumb until I was trying to reach my friend something in a game. Now we use it a couple times per month, it’s great. I hate that I like Discord lol

My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it’s been radio silence for months.

Well the minute they do and it works for sharing videos as well so we can watch YouTube as a group then we will drop discord super quick. I won’t want to host it at mine but I’ll happily pay for a vps for it.

Just use sunshine moonlight for screenshare, it beats literally everything else, it’s not even close, you can play games through it, it’s just that good.

Mumble is so underrated. It does one job and but does it very well.
