It is unfortunately such a PITA to self host. Spent hours a few weeks ago trying to set it up and failed.

Uh? You need a DB server/service, and it’s basically a python script that runs in a venv, which can be easily setup on anything vaguely linux related. If you don’t want to bother with the command to setup a venv, there’s also a docker image I believe. We set that up in an emergency when covid restrictions showed up and so far the worst issue we have is sometime the client takes a few minutes to refresh after long breaks.

Uh?

Because everything you said is common knowledge to the average person.

The average person does not self-host services yet. And if that comes to be, then yes, it will be common knowledge at that point. There’s also a fairly comprehensive documentation to get anyone with basic knowledge started.

I tried to run it with the docker image. Still a PITA. I’m not a noob when it comes to self hosting services.

Same. We had three developers try to make it work for a local makerspace and we failed. The default instructions are too complex ATM. I want to make it work sometime but that experience makes me want to wait. I only have so many weekends.

IRC is still a thing.

Ain’t that the truth, IRC was arguably the easiest service for me to set up, it had all the defaults basically set I think I only have the change one or two settijgs and open the ports, anything else was optional and it came with all the bells and whistles (of what you can get out of IRC… lol)

Yep super easy. And if you had a third party client it’s even easier for others.

You could always use Yunohost - it makes things much easier.
