Hey everyone,
I’m exploring options for a self-hosted instant messaging platform for internal team communication. I’m looking for something secure, flexible, and capable of growing with our needs.
I’m open to either building a solution using open-source tools/SDKs or choosing a customizable, privately hosted platform.
So far, I’ve come across platform like MirrorFly Instant Messaging Software. If you’ve used this — or know better alternatives — I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Here are a few things I’m trying to understand:
- Which self-hosted chat solutions are reliable and widely used?
- What features are most important to evaluate (e.g., encryption, storage options, scaling capabilities)?
- Any recommendations from hands-on experience?
- How challenging is it to integrate these platforms into an existing product or workflow?
Any feedback or suggestions from folks who’ve built or implemented similar systems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
