Installation

Spacebar supports the following installation methods:

  • Bare metal as separate npm modules. Recommended for production deployments
  • NixOS as a "ready-to-go" solution - used in production to host the spacebar.chat instance
  • Docker

Alternatively, if you're looking to do a quick local test: - Bare Metal (single-process) as a single-process npm bundle. Not recommended except for evaluation purposes. - With nix: nix run github:spacebarchat/server#nixosConfigurations.testVm.config.system.build.vm -vL - may enable unstable options
