I had missed that it doesn’t have voice support. The closest thing to a relatively simple setup I’ve found is VoceChat. It doesn’t self-host voice, but lets you link in a third party known as Agora, who offers free monthly voice minutes, but they’re still a third party. The setup wasn’t the worst, but definitely took careful reading.
Not all of my friends are on Steam and I specifically want something where a client is optional. The only way to convince someone to move away from what they’re already using is to make it as convenient as possible, so I’m looking for something with a web client, mobile app, and desktop client.
I’m giving Stoat.Chat a go this evening. Looks promising as a self-host alternative.
Was trying to get it set up earlier, but doesn’t look like it has good Linux support yet. I could also be stupid, I never rule that out.

It’s coming apparently https://github.com/stoatchat/stoatchat/issues/313
What’s wrong with Steam or Mumble?

I would switch tonight but there’s not voice chat in the self hosted version yet.

The verification email won’t show up. I’m stuck.
But doesn’t have a client (yet)?
