TapChat Dockerfile

This image is deprecated. It no longer builds, and TapChat has not been updated in 4+ years. IrcCloud is a good, modern alternative (albeit not self-hosted).

---

This is a dockerised version of TapChat.

Usage

Create a named volume to persist data:

docker volume create --name tapchat-data

Pull the image for the desired version of TapChat:

docker pull csmith/tapchat:0.0.42

Start a container, exposing the TapChat port:

docker run -d --name tapchat \
              --restart always \
              -p 8067:8067 \
              -v tapchat-data:/.tapchat \
              csmith/tapchat:0.0.42

Defaults

TapChat will be configured to listen on the default port of 8067, and a default account with the username admin and password admin will be created.

You can access a web interface at https://<ip>:8067/ in order to change the password or create a new account.

To view the generated SSL fingerprint (in order to verify that the mobile app is connecting to the correct server), view the container’s logs: docker logs tapchat.
