Movim is a federated blogging and chat platform that acts as a web frontend for the XMPP protocol.

Please refer to the installation instructions in the INSTALL.md file, or check out the Movim Wiki for more information.

You can try out Movim on your local machine in a container using Podman (main website). Podman is a FOSS alternative to Docker that is available on all the main distributions.

⚠️ This setup is only for tests purpose, the containers are not optimized and most of the caches are disabled. To deploy your own Movim instance use the INSTALL.md tutorial.

Install podman-compose and clone the repository before trying the next steps.

Launch the podman-compose script

podman-compose up

After a few minutes it will launch a local test instance with a blank database.

You can then access in your browser at the following URL:

https://127.0.0.1:8443/

The container is using a self-signed certificate, accept to get to the login page.

See SECURITY.md.
