Development ⇒ Development diary — 04.03.2026: we decide to build our own chat, on our own server

[TERMOS Project]

A big architectural decision for the whole community.

Instead of depending on someone else's messenger, we decided to build our own chat — on our own server. Why it matters:

• masters get their own place that no one can take away;
• it works directly, without VPN or workarounds;
• only your own people — repair technicians.

This is where the TERMOS Chat story begins: not a rented corner, but our own home.
