# Chat Server
|
|
|
|
A self-hosted Discord alternative with decentralized identity using the Home Server model.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
Each user has a **home server** where their identity lives (keypair), and can seamlessly join other **guest servers** using cryptographic signatures.
|
|
|
|
- **NO identity server** - just use one regular server as "home"
|
|
- **NO federation protocol** - servers don't talk to each other
|
|
- **Client does everything** - syncs, cross-server requests, profile updates
|
|
|
|
See [ARCHITECTURE.md](./ARCHITECTURE.md) for full details.
|
|
See [CLIENT_INTEGRATION.md](./CLIENT_INTEGRATION.md) for client protocol/API integration details.
