Mox

With Mox, you get a self-hosted communication platform that lives on your own server, under your rules. Because it runs on infrastructure you control, your data stays with you and there is no subscription required to keep using it.

Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 5.9K stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 11, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained 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, Mox 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.
