Hey y’all, was considering giving Zulip a try. I’ve got a group of friends that do everything from play games together, share memes, and organize medium-ish sized events that require a fair amount of coordination.
I was considering doing a self-host and was curious if doing this through a VPS service would work?
I was also maybe wanting to host somewhere I could also do a CMS and maybe a foundary instance.
As far as the CMS goes it would be a simple blog for sharing music and things.
Foundary is a VTT similar to roll20.
Thanks in advance!
It’s good. Used it for some NixOS governance stuff. It feels like a hybrid between chat and forum, so it’s good when you want to have semi-structured discussion but still want to stay on top of all topics.
What are you using for voice chat? As far as I know neither Zulip nor Foundry have native voice chat support.
For D&D we usually find it more convenient to keep our notes inside of foundry. I feel like foundry+Zulip+some CMS+some voice chat might be a bit tedious.
Likely I can get everyone on board with Signal for voice.
Zulip would be for updates on other games / scheduling / event planning.
Fohndary would be just for VTT
and the CMS would be for a personal blog.
All separate but if able to run off of one server that would be ideal.
Maybe also some meeting poll software like https://framadate.org/
I don’t see why not, you just need to put a reverse proxy server in front of the services so all the services can be reached with the standard web ports. And domains/subdomains for the services.
