I’m looking for something that can do chat, video calling with support for guess links and chats. I need it to work in the browser so I can send people a link to a chat session. Bonus if it has a simple mobile app and calendar integration.

Anyone know of something that isn’t Nextcloud Chat?

    It isn’t that hard. All I’m looking for is a chat/video call service. Jitsi is close but it purely does video calling. I want something that is a chat where guests can join a group with a link. That shouldn’t take much. (It didn’t with Nextcloud)

      Then write a howto instead of asking here. That shouldn’t take much.

        Honestly I might put that on my list of cool projects

        It is easier than you think. There are libraries that do Firewall/NAT traversal automatically so the hard part would be making the UI

          I never said how easy I think it is so what are you basing this response on?

      Jitsi is close but it purely does video calling.

      Not sure what you mean by that. Turn off the camera and you’ve got an audio chat.

      I want something that is a chat where guests can join a group with a link.

      That’s exactly how Jitsi works.

      Signal is not self hosted but they also support videoconference style calls.

      Well if “it shouldn’t take much”, then it shouldn’t be hard to find a solution, right?

      I’m now wondering why you’re here asking this question if you fully understand what you’re asking about.

          Right? I just want to self-host something like Google and all their services, but free. It also has to run on an AMD K6-2 with 1GB of DDR1 RAM and under 20GB for storage. Please don’t ask me any questions, I know exactly what I’m doing.

            Uhm actually the k6-2 took EDO or SDRAM. You won’t get it running with DDR.
