Just dropped v1.4-beta of ONYX — an open-source, privacy-first messenger with E2E encryption for private chats and self-hostable groups/channels.


This release is mostly about media experience.

Voice Channels — but with a twist. If you're self-hosting an ONYX server on your local network, you now get real-time voice inside your group. No cloud, no third-party servers.

Media Player — vinyl record animation when playing music, seek ±10 seconds, playback speed from 0.25x to 4x with presets, next/previous track, auto-repeat. Audio files now show their filename instead of a generic label.

Audio Settings — microphone and output device selection, so you can actually choose what hardware ONYX uses.


Why ONYX?

Would love feedback, especially from anyone running it on LAN setups.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.
