One platform to blog and chat, self-hosted and federated via XMPP.

Core Features

  • Publish blog posts with replies and favorites
  • Real-time chat across different XMPP servers
  • Fully self-hosted, full data control
  • Modern responsive web UI with mobile support

What It Can't Do

  • •The quick test container uses disabled caches and a self-signed certificate; it is not for production. Follow INSTALL.md for production deployment with PostgreSQL and Nginx.

Use Cases

  • Self-hosted social & messaging hub for individuals or teams
  • Internal communication and news publishing for organizations
  • Decentralized alternative to Slack / Teams

Movim is a self-hosted, open-source platform that combines blogging and real-time chat into one unified web interface, powered by the decentralized XMPP protocol. It allows individuals and organizations to run their own social and messaging hub without relying on central servers. Users can publish posts, reply to threads, and chat in real-time with contacts across different XMPP servers, making it a truly federated experience. The platform prioritizes privacy and data sovereignty, as all communications and content are stored on your own server. Movim is licensed under AGPLv3 and supports translations, donations, and community-driven development. It can be deployed using Podman/Docker for testing or via traditional installation for production use.
