Hmm from the docs I'm deriving this doesn't work for multiple users unless you install it as a Mattermost plugin?
If you're looking to use Focalboard for multiple users, you can use it in Mattermost where it's integrated as Boards: https://mattermost.com/boards/

#23They decided to up their price per user by a significant amount not too long ago... our self-hosted instance suddenly became more expensive than Slack but with an obviously not nearly as polished product as Slack. So we moved over to Zulip because at least they do their own thing, we haven't had any regrets over the switch to Zulip.
It's a chat app that doesn't eat your life, but just provides the service of helping you to communicate. It doesn't want to interrupt your workflow. It doesn't try to connect to everything. It makes it easy to organize work conversations and doesn't wish to be the remote work coffee machine.
It seems unreal that nowadays, I find solace in a software for finally trying to help me instead of extracting value or stealing attention from me. It should be the default.
Zulip is just that: the vlc of team chat.

You self host their enterprise solution? I think you're missing the point, migrate to the community edition. We pay 0 (but contribute with donations).

You can use it with multiple users without being a mattermost plugin
(try it out yourself -- docker run -p 8000:8000 mattermost/focalboard)

That's right, the stand-alone personal desktop is an option for single users. If you're looking to use Focalboard for multiple users, you can use it in Mattermost where it's integrated as Boards: https://mattermost.com/boards/

#27Mattermost is amazing! We used it with multiple teams over a period of a few years. Self hosted. Cheap of resources. All of the necessary features are there and very well thought out.
Thanks for the kind words! Mattermost PM here :)
To me it is better than the competition, since their products affect my computer speed, even though I just got an update. I'd much rather have the productivity not taken away by Mattermost than features (although Mattermost has 100% I need).

#28I wished my Organization would adopt Mattermost. Using it for years as a Chat to stay in touch with my friends. My Org uses MS Teams (because it is already bundled with MS 365). What Mattermost is missing is a Videochat / Videoconferencing option - there is a plugin but I didn´t tried it yet: https://mattermost.com/marketplace/microsoft-teams-meetings/
out of the box you get free `jitsi` but you can attach your own instance as well

Thanks for doing a great job. I really hate most of the software I have to use these days, but Mattermost is one of the few exceptions. It is fast, it isn't intrusive, it respects me and my time, all while doing what it promises.
