Hmm I'm not sure if another RTC server solution is the best way...

Holy smokes, what a ride. Fluxer is taking off much earlier than I'd expected.
Over the past month, I've been working on a major refactor that touches every part of the codebase. The goal is to make Fluxer easier to develop, fully documented, and much simpler and lighter to self-host. This update also includes plenty of bug fixes and improvements, and it should help the Fluxer.app hosted deployment handle the current load far better.
I know it's hard to resist, but please wait a little longer before you dive deep into the current codebase or try to set up self-hosting. I'm aware the current stack isn't very lightweight. In the next update, self-hosting should be straightforward, with a small set of services: Fluxer Server (TypeScript) using SQLite for persistence, Gateway (Erlang), and optionally LiveKit for voice and video.
Self-hosted deployments won't include any traces of Plutonium, and nothing is paywalled. You can still configure your own tiers and limits in the admin panel.
Thanks for bearing with me. Development on Fluxer is about to get much easier, and the project will be made sustainable through community contributions and bounties for development work. Stay tuned – there's not much left now.
I thought I could take it a bit easier while shipping this stabilising update, but Discord's recent announcement has changed things.
As soon as the refactor is live, I'll interact more actively and push updates to this repository more frequently. The remaining parts of the refactor are currently being worked on and are being tested by a small group of testers before I'm comfortable pushing everything publicly. After that, all work will happen openly in public.

Btw, activitypub integration?
It looks like they're deploying this right now:
Fluxer HQ will likely remain unavailable for the coming few hours as I get this update deployed. The rest of the platform remains available. Please bear with us as we work to get the refactor deployed which should fix this and other issues you've been having! <3

I'm sure there's a context here, but it's funnier without it
lol, plutonium is their paid version of the software, so they’re just saying that nothing will print us to “upgrade”
Looks like they got caught out by this all too, they are asking for another month or so to get a refactor in.

Keeping an eye on this. I got stoat chat up and running, and it's great so far, but it was a big pain to get rubbing on my environment, it doesn't have video calling yet or screen sharing, and it's still using the Tenor API which just got deprecated some time in January 2026 so GIF search doesn't work (I have vague plans to try and switch that to Giphy, and submit it to the team for review if I can get it to work).
I'm very excited for this project as well!
