Campfire Rust
Your team chat can be one executable on your own server: Campfire Rust runs rooms, direct messages, attachments, and search as a single binary that replaces the whole Ruby, Puma, Redis, Resque, and Thruster stack. Create rooms with access controls for projects, departments, or a private board discussion, and keep direct messages beside them for quick questions. File attachments arrive with previews, mentions pull the right person into a thread, and search finds the decision someone made months ago. Web Push notifications reach browsers and phones, so a quiet room still finds its people when it matters. Chatbots connect through a simple HTTP API for sending and receiving messages and attachments, which makes Campfire a home for build alerts, deploy notices, and support pings. Existing Campfire installs upgrade in place because the Rust binary reads the same SQLite database, storage layout, and signed cookies, with no data migration and no mass sign-out. Automatic TLS with Let's Encrypt certificates, HTTP/2, and Action Cable-compatible WebSockets are built in, and the whole system works on air-gapped networks that never touch the internet. Run it as your primary chat, as a backup for the day a hosted service goes down, or as a walled garden for executives and events. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
