  @possiblylinux127 mattermost should do the trick. @just_another_person

  Well if “it shouldn’t take much”, then it shouldn’t be hard to find a solution, right?

  I’m now wondering why you’re here asking this question if you fully understand what you’re asking about.

    It’s actually not that hard. (Well it is, media and networking are hard, but)

    I think the problem is that when people search for something better than Teams (or any other software), the confuse “better with”, with a mostly nonexistent “best”. In doing so, they skip over the way every single thing people suggest is “good enough”.

    Like, following this thread, we went from “I want a teams (voice/video/chat) alternative” to “Yeah I don’t like Jami because it leaks metadata.” How did we go from wanting a teams alternative, to wanting privacy with no metadata leakage? Those are very different things, and you make tradeoffs if you take one set of feature over the other. If you just add “no metadata leakage” on top of your current wishes, then you are probably going to be disatisfied with every option given.

    Or “Firewalls and hole punching!” (implying a p2p architecture) and “depends on peers being reliable” (being frustrated with the pitfalls of a p2p architecture). Of course there is software that is half p2p and half client server, but that is hard and tradeoffs will end up being made, even purely in what the developer spends their limited time on.

    This person just needs to get out of their head, whip up deployments for every software (or suite if there is more than one) mentioned in the thread, and pick the one that looks the nicest.

    It’s not hard. Just Teams but self-hosted. Free would be ideal.

      Right? I just want to self-host something Google and all their services, but free. It also has to run on an AMD K6-2 with 1GB of DDR1 RAM and under 20GB for storage. Please don’t ask me any questions, I know exactly what I’m doing.

        Uhm actually the k6-2 took EDO or SDRAM. You won’t get it running with DDR.

  Then write a howto instead of asking here. That shouldn’t take much.

    Honestly I might put that on my list of cool projects

    It is easier than you think. There are libraries that do Firewall/NAT traversal automatically so the hard part would be making the UI

      I never said how easy I think it is so what are you basing this response on?

  Jitsi is close but it purely does video calling.

  Not sure what you mean by that. Turn off the camera and you’ve got an audio chat.

  I want something that is a chat where guests can join a group with a link.

  That’s exactly how Jitsi works.

    Jitsi is closer to Zoom than anything else

    I’m looking for the chat plus the ability to start a call

      I see. What about Matrix?
