This is still a work-in-progress and some things may not work but for the most part everything has been tested without issue!

Note: the Revolt team is primarily focused on other components of the app, don't expect any immediate support, some issues may also be seen as out of scope for what this repo is trying to achieve so they may be marked as WONTFIX.

Please read the FAQ before running your own server and you may want to read about additional notes relating to third-party instances.

The CI for the API server (revoltchat/server) is currently being reworked, I was having a few issues with building both amd64/arm64.

Please make sure you're using the correct image for your platform:

• amd64: revoltchat/server:master
• arm64: revoltchat/server:0.5.3-alpha.8

This repository provides reasonable defaults, so you can immediately get started with it on your local machine.

⚠️ Not recommended for production, see below for full guide.

git clone https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted revolt
cd revolt
cp .env.example .env
docker-compose up -d

Then simply go to http://local.revolt.chat:5000

Clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted revolt
cd revolt

Copy the .env file and edit according to your needs.

⚠️ The default configuration is intended for testing and only works on your local machine. If you want to deploy to a remote server, you need to edit the URLs in the .env file.
If you get a network error when trying to log in, double check your configuration before opening an issue.

cp .env.example .env

Then bring up Revolt:

docker-compose up -d

You can insecurely expose the database by adding a port definition:

# docker-compose.override.yml
services:
  database:
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"

Older processors may not support the latest MongoDB version, you may pin to MongoDB 4.4 as such:

# docker-compose.override.yml
services:
  database:
    image: mongo:4.4
