Databag is a self-hosted messaging service for the DWeb community. Notable features include:
|
|
- Public-private key based identity (not bound to any blockchain or hosting domain)
|
|
- Federated (accounts on different nodes can communicate)
|
|
- No server-side replication (direct communication between app and contact's node)
|
|
- Low latency (use of websockets for push events to avoid polling)
|
|
- Responsive (renders well in browsers for phone, tablet and pc)
|
|
- Unlimited accounts per node (host for your whole family)
|
|
|
|
You can 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 deloy 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)
|
|
|
|
If you choose to setup your server manually, you can follow the steps in the Dockerfile [here](/net/container/Dockerfile).
