I’m the founder of a (non-profit) men’s suicide prevention & mental health support group. I’m looking to self-host a community on a Linux server.
Requirements:
- Member registration can be enabled / disabled.
- Member applications are approved before admission.
- Should have an associated mobile app in the respective app store for members to access the community.
- Runs natively on Debian 12
aarch64, either as a package, a binary, or compile from source. - Does not require a container.
- No or minimal licensing costs.
So far, Element + Matrix seems to be a pretty good fit.
Are there additional self-hosted community apps that have associated mobile apps that could be considered?
I am grateful for your advice and other potential solutions. Thank you, and best wishes.
