Anyone here have experience self-hosting Stoat?

After a few evenings banging my head against the keyboard I finally have Revolt and Livekit self-hosted!

It’s largely all working through the official stoat-for-web that I’m hosting, but something really simple is preventing me inviting my friends along to try it…

I’ve set the backend to invite-only and added an invite code to the database… But I can’t for the life of me figure out how the devs intend for invites to actually work beyond the backend?

  • It doesn’t seem to be a feature of stoat-for-web at all.
  • The app doesn’t support any alternative servers as far as I can tell

Any good workarounds, besides opening up the floodgates…?

    Only the webUI works out of the box, if you want the phone app you need to compile it yourself.

    Damn, that’s a nonstarter for anyone non-technical

      It’s non-starter for technical, too.
