Peersuite, a p2p encrypted discord alternative
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/30477112
Hey everyone.
I make Peersuite, an opensource free communication platform.
It's private by default, there's no sign-in or email collection.
It's peer-to-peer, there's no server, after discovery you are connected directly to your friends my AES-GCN encrypted WebRTC channels. It forms a mesh and identifies superpeers. Because there is no server, in order to save your data between sessions, you can download your workspace into a password encrypted file. Happy to answer any questions.
FEATURES:
- chat with images, PMs, channels, and file send
- group audio/video calling
- screensharing
- kanban board
- whiteboard for diagrams/flowchartswith PNG export
- collaborative document editing with formatted PDF export
The best way for self hosting is docker, its on dockerhub as openconstruct/peersuite. You can also download desktop versions from the github or use on the web at https://peersuite.space/
So you can run a "server" via docker? Does this "server" keep a session open as long as its running?
I would like to potentially use this for my community, im just wondering if it is possible to keep a session alive indefinitely.
I think that's what servers normally do, is it not?
Wow, this looks really good! Definitely will be keeping an eye on this one!
Is the screensharing low latency?
Okay, this very much has my attention. I’ve been looking for a Discord alternative that has screen sharing.
