Once Campfire is a self-hosted team chat platform and real-time messaging server. It provides a web-based communication environment for internal team messaging, featuring group channels, private direct messages, and a bot-integrated system for automating external messaging services.
The platform is distributed as a dockerized collaboration suite, allowing for containerized deployment with bundled application dependencies and automated SSL provisioning.
The system covers a broad range of collaboration capabilities, including chat management with granular access controls, file attachment sharing with media optimization, and team knowledge retrieval through chat history search. It also includes an asynchronous task processor for background job processing and web push notifications for real-time user alerts.
