Ethora Core Is Now Available Across Major Deployment Platforms
More ways to deploy and more flexibility for your infrastructure: Ethora Core – our self-hosted chat and messaging server – is live on major cloud marketplaces, container registries, Kubernetes tooling, and popular self-hosting platforms.
Cloud marketplaces
- AWS Marketplace – AMI with a first-boot setup page + CloudFormation template. Purchases count toward committed AWS spend; private offers available.
- Azure Marketplace – Virtual machine offer with the same first-boot setup. Deploys from your Azure subscription; private offers available.
Your own servers
Any Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 server (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, ports 80/443 open) – on any provider or on-premises. About ten minutes from first command to first login.
- One-line installer – one command installs and updates, issues a Let’s Encrypt certificate.
- Docker Compose – full stack for any Docker host.
- Portainer – ready app template for one-click stack deployment.
- Coolify – Git-based or Compose template deployment.
- Dokploy – Git-based or Compose template deployment.
Containers and Kubernetes
- Helm chart – OCI chart on Docker Hub, published on Artifact Hub.
- Docker Hub images – multi-architecture (amd64 + arm64) images for the full stack.
Home and small-team servers
- Cloudron – one-click app in the Cloudron App Store.
Every channel installs the same Ethora Core server: API, web chat and admin panel, XMPP with Ethora modules, file storage, and the full set of SDKs on top. Your data stays on your server. No licence key is required to run the core product; an optional Enterprise licence key unlocks advanced features (push notifications, AI agents, compliance logging, SSO, multi-tenant hosting) on the same installation with no reinstall or migration.
Teams can now choose the procurement and deployment path that fits their infrastructure and processes – while keeping full control of the data and the ability to move between methods later.
All listings and install paths are live and ready to use today.
