I'm looking for a self hosted chat server to build and run, but a web ui is critical to my use case, and from what I can see TS6 still won't have that. I am done trying to convince people to install a new app. Revolt (now StoatChat) seems to do what I want but setup is kind of complicated if you don't want to use the included Caddy config (I already have a reverse proxy that I'd prefer to use over Caddy, for example).
Anyone know of more mature projects similar to revolt/stoat, or is that my best bet?
From what I’ve seen stoat or matrix(using element or whatever you want) look like the best options? TS6 has no mobile or web, and has been in beta for years.
