Databag is a self-hosted messaging service. Notable features include:
|
|
- Public-private key based identity (not bound to any blockchain or hosting domain)
|
|
- Federated (accounts on different nodes can communicate)
|
|
- Topic based threads (messages organized by topic not contacts)
|
|
- Lightweight (server runs on a raspberry pi zero v1.3)
|
|
- Decentralized (direct communication between app and contact's node)
|
|
- Low latency (use of websockets for push events to avoid polling)
|
|
- Responsive (renders well in phone, tablet and pc)
|
|
- Unlimited accounts per node (host for your whole family)
|
|
- Mobile alerts (push notifications on new contacts and messages)

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).
|
|
|
|
### Docker Compose Command
|
|
|
|
From the net/container sub directory:
|
|
- sudo docker-compose -f compose.yaml -p databag up
|
|
|
|

|
|
- In the container view, click add container:

|
- Click 'publish a new network port', and select port 7000 for both host and container
|
|
- Under 'Advanced container settings', select 'Env', and click 'Add Environment Variable'
|
|
- Enter 'Name' as 'ADMIN' and your admin password [password]
|
|
- Click 'Deploy the Container'
|
|
|
|
From Nginx Proxy Manager:
|
|
- Add a host and specify:
|
|
- Hostname [hostname.domain]
|
|
- Portainer IP address [address]
|
|
- Port '7000'
|
|
- Request new SSL certificate
|
|
|
|
From Your Browser:
|
|
- Enter your server address in the address bar [hostname.domain]
|
|
- Click the cog icon in the top right
|
|

|
|
