I’m hosting on my NAS. And use dyndns for my router since im on dynamic ip. Moved my domain to the dyndns host for better subdomain setup, not relly moved but changed nameservers to dyndns provider.

To handle all requests and SSL certs I use caddy on the same nas as sharkord. The setup is straight forward especially when you use caddy. Sharkord needs SSL to allow mic and camera support. All features work even though its still alpha.

Upload, picture sharing, videos sharing, screen sharing everything works like a charm. Its a bit tricky to setup push to talk since this feature is still on the roadmap but using one extra tool “Mic mute” you can comfortably setup PTT on your client if required.

Overall I’m very happy, all data is on my NAS, performance is good. My crew is happy. Sharkord is very discord like in ui and usage so dragging friends from discord was easy. Hope that helps

Im trying sharkord atm. Sharkord is alpha but looks promising and the setup is quite easy for self hosting especially if you use it with caddy. Love it, uploads , screen share, DMs.
