Currently there is no voice or video support in any Spacebar instance. This is a very difficult feature to get working, especially given that we must implement it the exact same way as Discord.com for client compatibility. We would be incredibly thankful for any assistance.

Damn.

Discuss without voice, might aswell use IRC

Just use mumble for voice

Yeah I’d love to move my gang off discord but getting them to go back to team speak or vent is not happening

Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

If only it didn’t looked like a 20 year old software.

It’s voice chat, you choose a server and then minimize to tray, you never have to look at it…

Maybe it’s just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI

I don’t know about the UX, but if you want peoples to use your app, it need to look nice.

I find the login page of discord intelorable, it has ugly EULA on it that I will never sign

Same, if only teamspeak supported screen sharing / streaming, then it would be fine.

My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it’s been radio silence for months.

Well the minute they do and it works for sharing videos as well so we can watch YouTube as a group then we will drop discord super quick. I won’t want to host it at mine but I’ll happily pay for a vps for it.

I thought discord streaming was so dumb until I was trying to reach my friend something in a game. Now we use it a couple times per month, it’s great. I hate that I like Discord lol

Just use sunshine moonlight for screenshare, it beats literally everything else, it’s not even close, you can play games through it, it’s just that good.

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
