About SoChat

SoChat enables users to create and manage their own messaging servers for text and voice communication through the dedicated SoChat Client application, giving them full control over customization and security.

Made for SoChat Client

The main goal of SoChat Server is to make self-hosting a messaging server as simple as possible.

The server is designed for users who want to host their own private messaging infrastructure without having to deal with complicated configuration or deployment procedures.

To host your own server you just need to install Java 23+ and PostgreSQL(SQLite support is planned for a future release) and start SoChatServer.jar. That can be easily downloaded after first preview version
