Campfire Now Open Source

Basecamp (via Lobsters, Hacker News, Reddit):

Campfire is web-based chat application. It supports many of the features you’d expect, including:

  • Multiple rooms, with access controls
  • Direct messages
  • File attachments with previews
  • Search
  • Notifications (via Web Push)
  • @mentions
  • API, with support for bot integrations

[…]

Campfire’s Docker image contains everything needed for a fully-functional, single-machine deployment. This includes the web app, background jobs, caching, file serving, and SSL.

I guess the Once idea didn’t work, business-wise. Most software these days, especially running on servers, seems to be either free or a subscription.
