Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app?

Just a fair warning in reply to this that the self-hosted version of Stoat doesn’t currently have voice chat. It’s an open issue that’s currently paused until they can finish their rework.

If you have the skill for it, it seems like you can patch work the existing voice chat back in, but it’s not part of their initial setup and there’s no instructions on how to do so properly

Well that seems like a fairly big deal.

Link to their voice chat implementatoon.

Looks like you can enable it on self hosted version. Probably worth someone trying it out personally. Before giving up on stoat.

  sadly, it’s a little more complex than just enabling it. The supported self host deployment uses docker, and the docker containers that are available don’t contain the interfaces for voice or video calling as they are not up to date.
  
  If I understand it right, to enable it would mean you need to either pull the source yourself and run it off of docker, or make a custom docker image using a version of stoat web that contains the ability to do voice calls.
  
  reading the draft of the linked issue, it looks like they the author isn’t doing voice call for the reason that they don’t know the proper way to integrate it into the docker image.
  
  So to answer it: yes you can use voice servers on the current self hosted model, but you can’t use pre-existing docker images, and it will require you to manually add the new web UI in and patch where needed.

    Turns out they also don’t support federation or e2ee. If those are things you care about.

    Is there a docker-free build you can either install and mod to re-enable voice, or use to mod the docker blobs in accordance ?

I’ve been using it since it was called Revolt and quite like it, albeit I’ve never used the voice feature. My group doesn’t really have the need for it, but I can see it being a deal breaker for the self-hosted version.
