Databag is a self-hosted messaging service. Notable features include:
2022-07-08 04:21:48 +00:00
- Public-private key based identity (not bound to any blockchain or hosting domain)
- Federated (accounts on different nodes can communicate)
2022-11-01 16:15:25 +00:00
- Lightweight (server runs on a raspberry pi zero v1.3)
2022-11-04 19:03:43 +00:00
- Decentralized (direct communication between app and contact's node)
2022-07-23 03:58:52 +00:00
- Low latency (use of websockets for push events to avoid polling)
2022-11-01 07:44:29 +00:00
- Responsive (renders well in phone, tablet and pc)
2022-07-23 03:58:52 +00:00
- Unlimited accounts per node (host for your whole family)

The app is available in the google and apple stores. You can also test out the project [here ](https://databag.coredb.org/#/create ), but don't post anything important as this server is regularly wiped. Feedback on the UI/UX, bugs or features is greatly appreciated.

## Installation

To use databag, you will need a DNS name pointing to your node with a certificate. You can deploy a node manually, but you will have a much easier time using a container service. Containers for arm64 and amd64 are available [here ](https://hub.docker.com/r/balzack/databag/tags ).

Instruction for installing without a container on a Raspberry Pi Zero are [here ](/doc/pizero.md ).
