Description

A lightweight, self-hosted chat platform built for private networks.

Installation Instructions

MiniMost is packaged for Fedora, RHEL, and their rebuilds (Rocky, Alma, CentOS Stream) via COPR. This installs MiniMost as a proper RPM with a hardened systemd service — no pip, no virtualenv.

# Enable the COPR repository (one-time). On RHEL/EL, first install the plugin:
#   sudo dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf copr enable samuel-donovan-fas/Minimost

# Install the package
sudo dnf install minimost

# Start it now and on every boot
sudo systemctl enable --now minimost

The RPM ships a locked-down systemd unit that runs MiniMost under a transient DynamicUser, keeping all state (databases, uploads, TLS material) under /var/lib/minimost. The service listens on HTTPS port 6767 by default:

systemctl status minimost          # check it's running
sudo systemctl restart minimost    # apply settings.json changes
journalctl -u minimost -f          # follow the logs

Browse to https://<server-ip>:6767. Clients can fetch the CA certificate to trust at https://<server-ip>:6767/ca.pem. Remember to open the port (and UDP 3478 for calls) in firewalld:

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=6767/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3478/udp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
