Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Download

Get the latest release from GitHub Releases. Download chatserver.exe and the OwnCord installer.

Step 2: Run the Server

Run chatserver.exe. On first run it generates config.yaml and a self-signed TLS certificate. The server starts on https://0.0.0.0:8443.

Step 3: Admin Setup

Open https://localhost:8443/admin in a browser. The first registered user with the Owner role can manage the server.

Step 4: Create Invites

In the admin panel, go to invite management and generate invite codes for your friends.

Step 5: Connect Clients

Friends install OwnCord, enter your server address (IP or domain + port 8443), and redeem their invite code to register.

Networking

If friends are outside your local network, see the Port Forwarding Guide or use Tailscale for zero-config networking.
