In search of internal network chat software for teams (beehaw.org)

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to find some software for team collaboration on a private internal network. Think instant messenger but with file transfers, groups chats, and other team-based features. It would also be useful if all users could access the logs from the host.

Does anyone know of any reputable FOSS software that does this?

Thanks, Hirundinidae

EDIT: Lots of great responses thanks everyone!

For Zulip there are some public instances to look around if you don't know it, like https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/

There are some specialized tools if you only need video chat (like good old Jitsi but I think there are some more modern options now based on LiveKit) and there is one centered around a shared whiteboard / slide-sharing area (forgot the name). Or if you're looking to just quickly do some collaborative editing there is CryptPad.

Also, check out the !selfhosted@lemmy.world community here if you still have questions.
