Talk OS is the open-source version of jianliao.com, a team chat/messaging application written in CoffeeScript on Node.js. It bundles the full business code of the product, using MongoDB, Redis, and optional Elasticsearch for message search.

Use cases

  • self-host a team chat application
  • study the source code of a production chat product
  • build a custom Slack-like messenger
  • run an internal messaging server with MongoDB and Redis
  • learn how a real-time chat app is architected

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted team chat platform you can freely modify
  • you need reference code for building real-time messaging features
  • your stack is Node.js/CoffeeScript with MongoDB and Redis

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained, secure chat solution (last release 2017, Node 4 era)
  • you want modern tooling or TypeScript
  • you require message search without manual re-enabling of Elasticsearch integration
