Self-Hosted Chat

A private, self-hosted alternative to Discord

Chatto hosting on Appbox gives teams and communities a Discord alternative they control, with rooms, files, roles, voice/video calls, screen sharing, and persistent storage—without depending on SMTP for first login.

What you get with Chatto hosting

A compact self-hosted chat stack with Appbox handling TLS, subdomain routing, and container lifecycle.

  • Team rooms

    Create rooms and communities for real-time conversations, reactions, shared context, and structured group communication.

  • File sharing

    Share attachments and room files from the chat interface while keeping app data on your Appbox-managed storage.

  • Private by default

    Host conversations on infrastructure you control instead of routing team data through a third-party chat SaaS.

  • Owner bootstrap

    The Appbox package creates the first owner account programmatically, so initial access works even when SMTP is not configured.

  • Embedded storage

    Chatto runs with embedded NATS JetStream in this package, keeping the deployment single-container and persistent.

  • HTTPS URL

    Appbox provisions the web route and HTTPS URL, then passes the correct public origin into Chatto at install time.

Operations and limits

What to know before using Chatto as your Appbox chat server.

Single container

This package intentionally uses Chatto's compact single-container path rather than a multi-service Compose stack.

Generated secrets

Cookie, core, and asset-signing secrets are generated during install and stored as Appbox password fields.

No public NATS

NATS stays embedded and internal to the container; only the Chatto web UI is exposed through Appbox routing.

Voice and video included

Bundled LiveKit provides voice/video calls and screen sharing, with Appbox allocating the required WebRTC and TURN ports.

Choose the initial Chatto admin account. Its installation-time password also secures restricted SSH access unless you provide an SSH public key, which enables key-only SSH. SMTP is not required for first login.
