@jikkujose @flavorjones @palkan_tula @inazarova @dhh @jasonfried Because it's SQLite?, I don't know. Single-writer is a limitation, but I don't think it's realistic to hit for in a normal self-hosted use case.

I did a new load test with 2GB/1CPU, and the results are exceptionally good.

Introducing Sabha, an open-source alternative to Slack and Discord for chat based communities.

Your brand.
Your domain.
Your data.
Fully self-hosted.

@jikkujose @flavorjones @palkan_tula @inazarova @dhh @jasonfried Yes, I was able to reach up to 400 concurrent users with 2GB/1 CPU. However, it does depend on the cloud provider. I would recommend going with 4GB.

Here we go.

You can also try out this demo server: https://t.co/beXNw0ixaD

I have always felt it is absurd that everyone defaults to Discord as a place for chat community, even in case open-source projects.

Why not self-host?

Every alternative has become a VC-funded enterprise tool attempting to replace Slack, resulting in a complex tech stack that makes self-hosting on a small server impractical.

Using SQLite as a database and making it multi-tenant means that each community has a separate database file. That dramatically simplifies the stack.

You can host it on a basic $5 VPS on Hetzner. I wanted such a solution to exist, so I gave it a try.

@flavorjones @palkan_tula @inazarova @dhh @jasonfried Campfire did the basics right, Sabha completes the feature set.

You cant try out Campfire without self-hosting. Sabha fixed it with multi-tenancy. You can start with https://t.co/el5VONTonp and migrate to a self-hosted instance under your domain whenever you like.

@marckohlbrugge I love the redesign. What was the prompt like? 🤨

[Ashwin Mullankandy @ashwinm]

@DeepakNesss Or at least the same region.

@rafaelfranca @rails There is a rails campfire server? 😯

[Ashwin Mullankandy @ashwinm]

@SubinSiby As it should be!.

@kskrygan It's time to make competition for GitHub. You are well placed to do that.
