Installation

BeaComm (Beacon + Communication) is a lightweight, self-hosted chat server that works out of the box — a single command is all it takes to get up and running.

Open a terminal on your server and run:

Terminal window
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://www.example.com/BeaComm/install.sh)"

When the installation finishes, the terminal prints the address clients use to connect:

http://123.123.123.123:2443

Download the mobile or desktop client for your platform from the “Download” section on the home page.

  1. Launch the client and enter the server address from the previous step in the Server address field.
  2. Sign in with your email address and password, or create a new account.
