Fossil is offline. You sync up when connected and then you have code, issues, wiki, chat that work offline, and sync when connected again.
It's not an instant messenger, more like a mail box or a bulletin board. Which works when network is down.
- chillfox 6y agoThe chat does not sync
- rkeene2 6y agoThere are Forums within Fossil for this kind of thing, though.
- samatman 6y agoAgh this is a weird combination of accurate and not. Fossil works offline! But leaving a local server up is pretty normal, and that way you get new stuff just as soon as other servers publish it. Also, and unique to fossil, the server is just... fossil, same fossil that runs locally. No Gogs, no Gitlab, just your fossil, their fossil, and fossil on the server, maybe with a "real" webserver in front of it, maybe not. The chat room is clearly intended to be run on an always-on server instance, but there's nothing stopping you from setting it up locally and inviting people to jump on your IP. Well, NAT might well be stopping you... but in principle!
