Publish every release to the public OwnCord-releases repo with a full source snapshot (AGPL section 6 for binary recipients), and make the updater's repo coordinates configurable (github.owner/github.repo), defaulting to OwnCord-releases. Both the server self-update and the /client-update chain follow the new default, so deployed servers keep updating after the source repo goes private. The publish step fails closed: a private source repo with no RELEASES_REPO_TOKEN aborts the release instead of silently shipping binaries with no public source or update feed.

# OwnCord
|
|
|
|
The gaming chat platform you actually own.
|
|
|
|
|
|
> **Early Alpha / Work in Progress**
|
|
> OwnCord is in active development and is not production-ready. Expect rough edges, rapid changes, and occasional breaking behavior.
|
|
>
|
|
> Do not use it for sensitive communications yet.
|
|
|
|
## Development Model
|
|
|
|
OwnCord is built with an AI-first development workflow.
|
|
Most implementation is generated through autonomous AI tooling, with quality validated primarily through automated checks (CI, tests, linting) and real-world feedback during alpha.
|
|
|
|
This approach enables fast iteration, but it also means behavior may change quickly between releases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OwnCord is a self-hosted chat stack with a Go server and a Tauri desktop client.
|
|
It includes real-time messaging, voice/video via LiveKit, file sharing, and a web admin panel.

## Start Here
|
|
|
|
- New user quick path: [docs/quick-start.md](docs/quick-start.md)
|
|
- Linux Docker deployment: [docs/deployment.md](docs/deployment.md)
|
|
- Remote access without router config: [docs/tailscale.md](docs/tailscale.md)
|
|
- Manual router/network setup: [docs/port-forwarding.md](docs/port-forwarding.md)
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
### Option A: Prebuilt binaries
|
|
|
|
1. Download assets from [OwnCord-releases](https://github.com/J3vb/OwnCord-releases/releases) (binaries, checksums, signatures, and a full source snapshot per release).
|
|
2. Run the server binary:
|
|
- Windows: `chatserver.exe`
|
|
- Linux: `./chatserver`
|
|
3. Open `https://localhost:8443/admin` and create your Owner account.
|
|
4. Generate invite codes in the admin panel and share them with friends.
|
|
|
|
### Option B: Docker (Linux server)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd Server
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
cp livekit.yaml.example livekit.yaml
|
|
# Edit both files before starting
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the full setup guide in [docs/deployment.md](docs/deployment.md).
|
|
|
|
The client uses TOFU (Trust On First Use) for self-signed certificates: it prompts once, then pins the certificate for future connections.
|
|
|
|
## What OwnCord Already Has
|
|
|
|
- Real-time channels and direct messages over WebSocket
|
|
- Voice/video channels via LiveKit
|
|
- Invite-only registration and role-based permissions
|
|
- Web admin panel with logs, backups, and update tooling
|
|
- File uploads and inline media rendering
|
|
- TOTP 2FA support and API rate limiting
|
|
- Desktop client auto-update with signature verification
|
|
|
|
See deeper feature and architecture docs in [docs/client-architecture.md](docs/client-architecture.md) and [docs/protocol.md](docs/protocol.md).
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
Two main components:
|
|
|
|
- Go server (REST API, WebSocket hub, SQLite, admin panel)
|
|
- Tauri v2 desktop client (Rust backend + TypeScript frontend)
|
|
|

## Build and Test
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Go 1.25+
|
|
- Node.js 20+
|
|
- Rust stable (client builds)
|
|
|
|
### Build from source
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Server (Windows)
|
|
cd Server
|
|
go build -o chatserver.exe -ldflags "-s -w -X main.version=1.0.0" .
|
|
|
|
# Server (Linux)
|
|
cd Server
|
|
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o chatserver -ldflags "-s -w -X main.version=1.0.0" .
|
|
|
|
# Client
|
|
cd Client/tauri-client
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run tauri build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Core verification commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Server
|
|
cd Server
|
|
go test ./...
|
|
|
|
# Client
|
|
cd Client/tauri-client
|
|
npm run typecheck
|
|
npm run lint
|
|
npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For the full command set, use [docs/contributing.md](docs/contributing.md).
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
On first run, the server generates `config.yaml` and a local `data/` directory:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
data/
|
|
├── chatserver.db
|
|
├── certs/
|
|
├── uploads/
|
|
└── backups/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Key options include TLS mode, upload limits, LiveKit settings, and admin CIDR restrictions.
|
|
See [docs/server-configuration.md](docs/server-configuration.md).
|
|
|
|
## Security and Vulnerability Reporting
|
|
|
|
- For vulnerabilities, use GitHub Security Advisories (private disclosure flow).
|
|
- Do not open public issues for security bugs.
|
|
- Read full policy and hardening notes in [docs/security.md](docs/security.md).
|
|
|
|
## Update Signing Notes (Maintainers)
|
|
|
|
Client and server update signing keys are intentionally separate.
|
|
|
|
Required Actions secrets for release signing:
|
|
|
|
- `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY`
|
|
- `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD`
|
|
- `SERVER_UPDATE_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY`
|
|
- `SERVER_UPDATE_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD`
|
|
|
|
When rotating the server updater key, update [Server/updater/server_update_public_key.txt](Server/updater/server_update_public_key.txt) and use staged rollover for live fleets.
