Voxpery

Open-source & self-hosted Discord alternative: chat, voice, and screen sharing for communities that want control.

Use Voxpery in your browser, download the desktop app, or host the same stack yourself.

Why Voxpery?

• Chat together: Text channels, DMs, voice channels, screen sharing, and moderation in one place.
• Choose where it runs: Join the hosted service or deploy the full stack with Docker Compose.
• Light on your computer: The desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux are built on Tauri, with the system webview on Windows and macOS and Chromium on Linux; the Windows installer is about 8 MB.
• Keep it inspectable: The web app, server, and desktop client are developed in the open under the AGPL-3.0 license.
• Own your account data: Export your data or delete your account; self-hosters control their own deployment.

Voxpery is still growing. Larger platforms have broader integrations and more mature enterprise tooling. See the comparison with other chat platforms for a closer look.

Get started

Use the hosted app: Create an account and start chatting in your browser. No server setup is required.

Desktop app: Download it for Windows, macOS, or Linux (.deb, .rpm, Flatpak) from the latest release. On Arch Linux, install the AUR package with yay -S voxpery-bin.

Self-host: Start the web app, server, LiveKit, PostgreSQL, and Redis with Docker Compose:

git clone https://github.com/emircanagac/voxpery.git
cd voxpery
./scripts/ops/init_env.sh   # writes .env with fresh random secrets
docker compose up -d --build

Open localhost:5173. For a public server, the same script and a bundled HTTPS proxy set everything up from three domain names: see Public server with HTTPS. Backups and optional integrations are in the deployment guide.

Build and contribute

Voxpery uses Rust and Axum, React and TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, LiveKit, and Tauri. The contributing guide covers local development and pull requests; the architecture guide explains how the pieces fit together.
