HPC is using Mattermost for instant messaging along with whatever 2-factor authentication engine your browser has (firefox and chrome both have). But I'm a user not involved with server (ping me at work and I can put you in touch with him). Best, Satsangat On Wed, May 1, 2019 at 3:29 PM Mark Galassi <mark@galassi.org> wrote:
I'd like to set something up for my students who work with me, a bit like what people have when they use IRC (which after more than 20 years I still don't grok) and slack (which is proprietary).
The clickbait sites advertise 6 alternatives to slack (or 7 or 5, depending on the clickbait flavor -- https://xkcd.com/1283/ ) and I wonder if people have experience with any of them.
The ones people talk about are "let's chat", "mattermost", "rocket.chat", "matrix", and I'm sure there are others.
Has anyone set any of these up? I'm only interested in evaluations where people have set up their own workgroup server. _______________________________________________ nmglug mailing list nmglug@lists.nmglug.org http://lists.nmglug.org/listinfo.cgi/nmglug-nmglug.org
