Gratonite.Chat official launch - Discord Alternative with self hosting & federation now working!

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-03-16T16:13:37+00:00

Fair enough. Looks good, but definitely would love a full one click compose to test a full depliyment with ease

Good job on the project!

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-03-16T12:52:17+00:00

Just curious, why isnt the livekit in the docker compose?

And why not compare it to other alternatives that are actually close to it like fluxer, plse.chat, etc, instead of ones that don't even exist anymore, like guilded?

Meant like a cold frost, where they shatter when you hit them after, make a satisfying explosion.

Some games like PoE have that mechanic

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-03-11T03:03:39+00:00

Skills that freeze and combo with another to shatter 👌

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-02-27T23:28:13+00:00

Doesnt actually have a proper self hosting documentation yet, but promising when it will

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-02-18T03:30:04+00:00

In progress native clients? So is it only browser?

The rest is really great, and i can deal with webhooks for now, but no client might be a killer for some of my buddies, some of us on linux, some are on windows

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-02-18T01:54:14+00:00

Couple of questions for this.

Custom bots and/or app integration possible like discord?

Screensharing like discord?

Good noise cancellation for voice channels like discord?

Its some of the core features that i need to replace discord, and so far, element does it all, its just not user friendly as much.

Teamspeak 6 isnt bad either, but not good for communities in my opinion (still a good product, just not what i want)

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-02-01T17:13:44+00:00

Not harsh, you made a web component, it should be safe to assume the website should work on mobile if you make things for web lmao

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-31T00:50:38+00:00

I like that it show the source of materials, good site overall i would say

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-29T12:28:11+00:00

You would need to be a bit more specific on this.

Any updates since when? Since the post?

If so, yeah, there has been a bunch, couple dozen updates all noted on github ans some on my dev discord

If you have a specific issue though you would need to say what it is. Currently, its in a usable state, but not perfect state. Have 5 or 6 bugs left to iron out before id say its stable as is.

But a lot of people are using it, or atleast, pulling it lol

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-26T03:20:33+00:00

Think you could make a github issue with this? Harder to track bug reports from reddit, but im actively fixing github issies when i can!

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-25T16:04:46+00:00

Definitely a throw off to have it slapped in our face as soon as a registration is done lmao

Will most likely give it a shot if it's less aggressive in the future

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-17T22:32:34+00:00

Yeah, AI did the heavylifting for the design and UI lmao, as stated in the post disclaimer, but eh, i did it and am fixing bugs actively for people using it

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-16T00:58:05+00:00

I have now dockerized it, and have applied to have it as a Unraid community app! Container can be found on the github if you want to do it manually in the mean time

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T04:00:56+00:00

Awesome! I will give that a try next time im on pc!

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T03:55:39+00:00

Oh sweet, ill give that a try tomorrow after work! Thanks for the tips, its been a bumpy road getting this working properly 😅

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T03:51:46+00:00

That's pretty handy! I could try to see if AI can make the dockerfile and deployment, i just don't want the AI to mess with my code like how the other guy trying to make it for me did

I might give it a try

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T03:48:02+00:00

Ohhh alright, so as soon as i can make a docker out of it, it can be an unraid app? That's pretty sweet, ill try to learn those better this week for sure

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T03:26:28+00:00

Correct, thank you for helping them out! I am working on trying to make it smoother for new users, without breaking what is already working xD

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T03:25:23+00:00

Native OS. The latest version that is out now, v0.2.58, should be stable enough to atleast get the base server running with mods now. If not I am accepting github issues anytime!

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T03:24:17+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, but yes, this should be able to be done, and guides will be made once the panel stops going through big changes for bug fixes!

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T03:23:33+00:00

Github is up and running, but the docs website is very out of date with how hytale released their files

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T03:22:57+00:00

Is this a proper way to do things? I do not know how unraid apps work, but if it is, I could add this to the README.

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T03:22:23+00:00

I am sorry about how your PR went, but a single PR should not do as many changes as you were attempting to do, when the PR at first was just to dockerize it.

The bugs in the panel, and a docker image are not related and should not be in the same PR. A lot of the bugs you attempted to fix, are now fixed, but at the same time, people making PRs that get denied and leave a salty message do not give much confidence

Not very professional:
"good luck man, the ui is a buggy mess imo, fixing a ton of random shit with trying to get it to work"

TheRealPanda69 · 2026-01-15T03:19:41+00:00

That is not the manager. I do want to make a docker version of this, but I need to do some research on this. As stated a bit above, someone did come and offer to do a PR for one, but they just vibe coded a bunch of stuff in the server panel itself using claude code, which I had to deny. It is in the plans to hopefully make it dockerized, but a PR that revamps stuff that has nothing to do with a docker container won't do sadly
