Skald

Skald is a hard fork of Galene into an audio-only hall conferencing server. The current development repository is https://git.stormux.org/storm/skald.

Skald is not protocol-compatible or API-compatible with Galene. Its public URLs, administrative API, and protocol terminology use halls and Skald names. Recordings are written as single mixed Ogg Opus audio files; ffmpeg must be installed on the server for recording to work.

Quick start

git clone https://git.stormux.org/storm/skald
cd skald
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags='-s -w'
mkdir halls
echo '{"users": {"Username": {"password":"Password", "permissions":"op"}}}' > halls/main.json
./skald &

Point your browser at https://localhost:8443/hall/main/, ignore the unknown certificate warning, and log in with username Username and password Password. The browser client enables the microphone by default and does not provide camera or screen-sharing controls.

For full installation instructions, please see the file skald-install.md in this directory.
