Easy to self-host

Single Docker deployment with minimal env configuration (only ports and datapath). Spokes, LiveKit and a pre-configured Casdoor instance in a single container. The server also supports any other OpenID IdP.

  • The same architecture that makes it fast, easy to install, manage and backup also makes it unsuitable for massive enterprises. It is highly optimized for teams, families, and communities of up to ~100 users.
  • Easy to backup, very resilient and simple file and folder database structure.
