Self-hosting#

TolkTak can run on your own hardware or a rented server.

• Requirements
• Install with Docker — one docker run command.

• Install from source

Configuration and maintenance#

• Configuration — environment variables and LiveKit settings.
• PostgreSQL and S3 storage — the database and uploaded files.
• Administration — registration, invites and access.
• Upgrades and backups — saving and restoring data.
• Troubleshooting — connections, audio and service logs.

TolkTak is in early development. Back up server data before upgrading. There is no end-to-end encryption yet: the server operator has access to stored messages and files. See the security model for details.
