This would be great as a more complete alternative to RocketChat.

Last I checked this a couple of years ago, the main blockers were that it needed rabbitmq (we need to make this an addon maybe or package it with the app itself) and also requires 2GB... https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/2320

This seem to be an updated docker image: https://github.com/galexrt/docker-zulip
I'm very much interested, as Rocket Chat and Mattermost lack proper threading.

Actually, it's the opposite, when they acquired it, they open sourced it straight away. And since then, they have committed to be completely open source, and not open core, like Mattermost, for example.
I've recently read on Hacker News they plan to stick to that. (no link here sorry)

" Zulip is 100% open source software, built by a vibrant community of hundreds of developers from all around the world. With 120,000 words of developer documentation, a high quality code base, and a welcoming community, it’s easy to extend or tweak Zulip.
Zulip has a significantly larger and more active development community than other modern open source group chat solutions like Mattermost, Rocket.Chat, and matrix.org."

"Note that Zulip was never developed by Dropbox; they just bought the company and then generously donated the software to the open source community. It is developed primarily by Kandra Labs, an independent company, and our amazing community."

I'm loving RocketChat and so I'd love to know more about how Zulip is more complete from your perspective?

I'm intrigued, given RocketChat and Mattermost both do threads, are you able to elaborate on what makes Zulips threading "proper"?
Thanks!

Zulip has a threading concept which is different (and more similar to replies in email), I would suggest to check their demo or website to see how that works.
It's less straightforward than threading in slack/mattermost/rocketchat, but once integrated, it's much better for having sub-discussions. -

Yeah, I think perhaps RocketChat at least didn't do threads at all two years OK! I'll try to play more with Zulip... although I'd have to play more with RocketChat and Mattermost too to compare as I've not really used any of them that much yet! (nor slack fwiw)

So-far on Cloudron I'm finding Mattermost the best of the bunch as a Discord/Slack alternative, and Rocket.Chat a decent tool for website livechat. Element I'm finding a bit too quirky but keeping an open mind.
Although, happy to give Zulip a try, would depend on being Slack API compatible to be a real contender IHMO.

For example, anyone can remove & modify channels they're in and thoroughly mess with the intent and integrity of the setup. Only through obscurity do most people not find this.

Interesting... Labeling substreams with topics seems interesting to me. Tags can get confusing. Having used email, I think people would be able to use topics as they are closer to email subject headings.
A couple of videos about Zulip:
Introduction from a teacher using it with students
