history
Project history and usage
Fluxer is a free and open-source chat and VoIP platform with text, voice, video, community features, desktop clients, APIs, and a self-hosting option.
Project history
Fluxer emerged as a free and open-source instant-messaging and VoIP application for friends, groups, and communities. It subsequently expanded into a self-hostable platform with a documented HTTP API, real-time gateway, voice and screen-sharing support, media services, administration interfaces, and official mobile-client development.
Adoption history
Fluxer is available as a hosted chat service and as a self-hostable platform. The project publishes desktop builds and Linux repositories, while its official organization also develops a Flutter mobile client. Its public repository has attracted a substantial contributor and user audience within open-source chat software.
How it is used
End users use Fluxer for direct messages and community chat with voice, video, and screen sharing. Developers can build bots or clients against its HTTP API and Gateway, while operators can deploy an independent instance using the project's self-hosting stack.
Why package nerds care
Fluxer packages a full modern chat stack rather than only a desktop client: the monorepo covers the web and desktop application, messaging services, gateway, media proxy, administration, documentation, and deployment assets. Its self-hosting support and AGPL licensing make it notable to users seeking an inspectable alternative to proprietary community-chat platforms.
