Hello everyone,
I’ve been trying to find some software for team collaboration on a private internal network. Think instant messenger but with file transfers, groups chats, and other team-based features. It would also be useful if all users could access the logs from the host.
Does anyone know of any reputable FOSS software that does this?
Thanks, Hirundinidae
EDIT: Lots of great responses thanks everyone!
Huh? Zulip, Rocket Chat, Mattermost, Element just off the top of my head.
Good list!
Depending on what else you are running and need, NextCloud Talk would work. I definitely wouldn’t spin up NC just for Talk though.
Matrix Tuwunel + Element, you will never look back
For Zulip there are some public instances to look around if you don’t know it, like https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/
There are some specialized tools if you only need video chat (like good old Jitsi but I think there are some more modern options now based on LiveKit) and there is one centered around a shared whiteboard / slide-sharing area (forgot the name). Or if you’re looking to just quickly do some collaborative editing there is CryptPad.
Also, check out the !selfhosted@lemmy.world community here if you still have questions.
Or apparently Onyx which looks good, but very new.
I just learned about this: https://github.com/wardcore-dev/onyx
Seems very interesting and they just added voice and some other features.
If you’re worried about AI use the author has a good write up and some comments in their posts in !selfhosted@lemmy.world
@Hirundinidae How about humhub.com ? It’s a German product, open source, self-hosted or available as a managed service. It’s designed for teams and collaboration.
