Deploy Databag in one click installation.
Self-hosted federated messenger with end-to-end encryption, audio/video calls, and topic-based conversation threads.
What you can build with Databag
Databag is a self-hosted, federated messaging platform that brings decentralized communication to individuals and small communities without relying on corporate servers or blockchain infrastructure. Using public-private key cryptography for identity, accounts are not bound to any specific hosting domain — users on different Databag nodes can message each other freely, similar to how email federation works.
The platform supports end-to-end encrypted sealed topics, audio and video calling, mobile push notifications, and topic-based message organization. Self-hosting on your VPS means all conversations, call history, and contact data remain entirely within your infrastructure, with unlimited accounts per node and no per-user fees — making it ideal for families, friend groups, and small organizations that want modern messaging without corporate intermediaries.
Key features of Databag
Federated Messaging
Accounts on different Databag nodes can communicate directly, creating a decentralized network where no single server controls all conversations.
End-to-End Encryption
Sealed topics use client-side encryption so message contents are private even from the server administrator hosting the node.
Audio & Video Calling
Built-in calling eliminates the need for a separate video conferencing tool for communities already using Databag for messaging.
Topic-Based Threads
Organizes conversations by subject rather than contact, making it easy to keep discussions focused and searchable across a community.
Unlimited Accounts
Each node supports as many accounts as needed at no extra cost, making it economical to host messaging for an entire household or organization.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
