What is Sabha?

Simple, intentional chat for communities.

Sabha is a community chat platform built on Campfire by 37signals. Rooms for topics, threads for depth, DMs for private conversations, and full-text search across everything.

It's not a Discord clone. No voice channels, no bots, no server discovery. It's not an enterprise tool. Sabha is text-first chat that does fewer things than Slack or Discord, on purpose. Every feature that exists works well. That's the trade.

  • Rooms for every topic
  • Threads by default
  • Full-text search across everything
  • Mobile-first PWA with push notifications

The Problem

Self-hosting is appealing in theory.

In practice, it means provisioning a server, configuring DNS, setting up SSL, managing backups, and keeping the thing updated. You'd rather just use the product.

Self-Hosting

  • Provision a server and secure Linux
  • Configure Docker, DNS, and SSL certificates
  • Set up automated backups yourself
  • Keep the thing updated when new versions ship
  • You're the on-call when it goes down at 2am

$ ssh [email protected]

$ docker compose up -d

Error: port 80 already in use

$ sudo systemctl status nginx

What You Get

The full Sabha experience, without the ops.

Same app as self-hosted. We just handle the infrastructure.

Zero Ops

No Docker, no DNS records, no SSL certificates, no server maintenance. Click a button and you're running.

Dedicated Server

Your data lives on its own server, not shared infrastructure. Your own isolated instance with its own database.

Automatic Backups

Continuous SQLite replication via Litestream. Your data is safe without you thinking about it.

Managed Updates

When Sabha releases a new version, we update your server. You don't have to pull, build, or deploy anything.

Health Monitoring

Automated uptime checks every 5 minutes. If something breaks, we know before you do.

Custom Domains

Use your own domain like chat.yourcompany.com. We handle SSL certificates and DNS verification automatically.

No Lock-In

It's standard Sabha running on a standard server. Leave anytime — take your data or take over the server.

Slack Import

Migrate from Slack with one click. Import your channels, messages, and history — no data left behind.
