Zusam (/tsuˈzam/) is a free and open-source way to self-host private forums for
groups of friends. Composed of a server written in PHP exposing a REST API and a
lightweight webapp, Zusam is extensible and easy to install.
The goal is to make a stable, extensible, lightweight and user-friendly way
to self-host private social groups.

You can test Zusam right now on

The login is "zusam" and the password is "zusam". The instance is reset every hour.
Zusam is composed of a PHP server and a single-page-application. The backend uses Symfony and Sqlite, the frontend is made with Preact and ParcelJS.
Requirements:
Installation guides:
The project has the goal of being really stable for the backend once 1.0
is hit.
That means no database structure changes, an update system and a stable API.
The webapp can still change a lot after that point.
For now, Zusam is completely usable in a day-to-day basis but is subject to significative
evolutions with upcoming updates and doesn't guarantee backwards compatibility.
I try my best to make updates as easy as possible.
The webapp targets Firefox ESR and at most one-year old Chrome.
It should work on the latest versions of Edge and Safari but is not tested on them.
Zusam is free and open-source software licensed
