As some of you may know, we're building Flatline, a self‑hostable soft fork of the Signal Server. It lets you run a mostly Signal‑compatible server for research and private deployments.

We already run a Flatline server in Bahnhof cloud for internal development.

#Signal #mollyim #flatline

Now we're working on accounts without phone numbers, and the technical draft is public.

If you're interested or might ever want to run your own server, have a look.

Open to questions or suggestions.

#Flatline

@mollyim I'd be interested in having a Flatline-on-demand in my Gitlab pipeline integration, and as a Github-Actions-equivalent. Is that something that should be provided in the upstream Flatline repos?
@rubdos Sure. We have a private repo that deploys our Flatline instance to the cloud using GitHub Actions. This instance is currently just for development and testing, but when it's finished it will become the public demo so people can try Flatline. And the CI scripts will also be public. So yes, that's planned. But we still have a lot of work left.
@mollyim Awesome. Following with great interest!
