Open source team chat you host yourself
Open sourceOpen sourceRocket.Chat is an open source team communication service. It is made to be self-hosted and the project publishes many guides for running it on Docker, Kubernetes and other platforms, with client apps for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux.
Rocket.Chat is a self-hosted open source project, so it is not necessarily European: where it runs is entirely your own choice. Installed on European infrastructure it becomes a European alternative to American chat platforms, and it suits organisations that want their conversations on their own servers.
Data and operations
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
Public website
Why this matters
Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.
Incoming business email
Why this matters
Published MX records route incoming business email through Google Workspace. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
