Revolt - open source and privacy-friendly Discord alternative

@RazielKanos it looks like it is just a 3rd party discord client as opposed to a 1:1 clone. Never mind - it does seem to be separate from discord.

It does look nice.

We would love this addition.

Yes I say we give these guys a chance at Revolt in Cloudron, I would love to see this and use it asap most apps like Discord are just Mumble based apps like Zello. Mumble made the best voice codec ever. I am using Rocketchat but it would be so cool to have a voice channel chatroom like revoltchat, love to see this on cloudron for use self-hosted Users

@sir-paradise All good insights and points. IN the meantime, if you've not tried yet, we've found Nextcloud Talk very reliable in daily use.

I wish we had Mumble itself on here.

Jam would be great to have too.

There is a relatively recently updated docker-compose that helps detail out the packaging flow.

Might be a nifty challenge for @Kubernetes

They seem to not have true desktop apps yet, so cannot support global push-to-talk keys... Sadly, it's a must have IMO.

Looks like they do have desktops apps for all platforms these days

Considering that Discord has said goodbye to it's (never true) ad-free policy as well a revolt is currently gaining more traction again.

It might be a even more interesting addition now.

yessss, it would be SUCH an amazing addition

I think this one is needed to get it running with docker-compose
https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted
That pulls images from
https://github.com/revoltchat/revite

It seem all a bit confusing/ in flux at the moment because https://github.com/revoltchat/revite says "This project is deprecated" whereas https://github.com/revoltchat still has this table which says its recommends for use

But above that has a note saying:

revoltchat/frontend is the next-generation Revolt client, more details here

So looks like going forward https://github.com/revoltchat/frontend will be the frontend to use, but presumably the self-hosting docker still pulls from revite.
