Server and SDKs, ready for your stack

Choose your architecture and client platform, then launch a fully self-hosted messaging system in minutes.

Free Basic edition (server)

Basic is free forever, no sign-up required. Current release v1.17.0, built for x86, ARM and LoongArch.

01 / Docker

Option 1: Docker Compose (recommended)

One command boots the full stack (server + PostgreSQL + Redis, schema auto-applied). The image is a multi-arch amd64 / arm64 build, served from Docker Hub.

curl -fsSLO https://balala.im/releases/v1.17.0/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d

Or pull the image directly:

docker pull balalaim/imcore-basic:1.17.0

In mainland China, pull from the Aliyun ACR mirror instead: crpi-zegbek7xpkekqods.cn-hangzhou.personal.cr.aliyuncs.com/imcore/imcore-basic:1.17.0

For air-gapped / Xinchuang environments, download the offline image bundle and import it with docker load:imcore-basic-v1.17.0-docker-amd64.tar.gz · imcore-basic-v1.17.0-docker-arm64.tar.gz

02 / Binary

Option 2: Bare binaries

A single Go binary with zero-dependency startup; bring your own PostgreSQL and Redis.
