    did not know it was possible to use such ports as not-root.

    anyway here is a direct link to how you can host your own devzat server: https://github.com/quackduck/devzat#want-to-host-your-own-in...

    good luck, OP!

    One method could be a Linux laptop and using SSH to talk over devzat [1] They should generate a site-specific ssh key to talk to your devzat instance. The developer is here on HN. Configure devzat to listen on port 443. To do this as a non-root account use "setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /path/to/devzat"

    I rarely use IRC any more and I used to run some small IRC servers. Most moved to Discord but I refuse to use such platforms for their abuse of retaining both text and voice transcription chat history forever. This was not impossible on IRC but far less likely. Public channels were recorded with publicly visible bots that had permission to be in the channel.

    Nowadays if I need to spin up a chat with people I know I just give them a shell function that utilizes a self-hosted instance of devzat.

    > That sounds like a great feature/configuration option. Maybe even allow a admin-defined backlog size for people that want persistent instances.

    Done! https://github.com/quackduck/devzat/commit/00160b83751d90176...

    > SSH based chat is not super popular which really surprises me. I could see devzat being an amazing fall-back for a private chat inside a company when Slack or Discord are having a moment or for those times when people want to say something that isn't recorded forever and especially not visible to their management. I think it would also be amazing for people in oppressive regimes that block access to all the mainstream chat platforms but allow SSH to specific VPS providers.

    :))))) I'm glad you like devzat. I'd love to talk to you on the main chat!

  • I made Devzat, a custom SSH server. It's like Discord but in the terminal and over SSH, so you don't need to install anything

    Oh storing to a DB would be possible! The new gRPC API would make this very easy to implement: https://github.com/quackduck/devzat/pull/110

    There is an issue for the server list idea you mentioned: https://github.com/quackduck/devzat/issues/84

    There's a gRPC API coming soon (which could change to a JSON-RPC one) that you can use to integrate with your bot. The code's pretty hack-able too, so you can directly edit that if you want. Relevant PR: https://github.com/quackduck/devzat/pull/110
