After living through Google Chat going down while handling a server incident at work, I created an internal, encrypted chat system in order to have an alternative in case our regular communications channel is down.
However the actual chat part of it is very barebones with a simplistic JSON-based protocol and a simplistic IRC-like interface - quite unlike devzat.
I wonder how hard it would be to untangle the authentication and transport bits from devzat and plug in our own proprietary auth/transport.
- quackduck 5y agoI don't think it wouldn't be hard, since there isn't really much auth (just some key and IP stuff), so you'd mainly have to add your own. Feel free to email me (my email's on my github) with updates / questions if you do decide to try it out!
- adhesive_wombat 5y agoWould an internal Matrix homeserver meet that need?
- dsr_ 5y agoOr an internal IRC server. Or a Zulip server. Matrix is overkill if you're never going to federate it.
