BBYEN
A self-hosted Communication & Social app you can run on your own server.
BBYEN gives you a self-hosted communication platform: one you deploy yourself, on a home server, NAS or VPS. Self-hosting it means no per-user subscription and no third-party cloud holding your information.
Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 19 stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Jan 3, 2025, and the project is classed as quiet / legacy in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Communication tools only work if your people can reach them. Check guest access, mobile apps, and federation or bridging support before migrating a community. Self-hosting gives you the data and the rules, but someone has to own updates and moderation.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, BBYEN is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
