Deploy Tinode in one-click installation.
Open-source instant messaging platform with mobile and web clients, real-time chat, and end-to-end encryption support.
What you can build with Tinode
Tinode is a fully open-source instant messaging platform that delivers a complete stack — a Go server backend, official clients for web, iOS, Android, and desktop, and a gRPC API for custom integrations. It supports one-on-one and group messaging, typing indicators, read receipts, file attachments, and optional end-to-end encryption, bringing the feature set of commercial messaging platforms to infrastructure you own.
Self-hosting Tinode on a VPS means your conversations, user data, and file transfers never touch a third-party messaging service. Use the built-in web client right after deployment or connect your own mobile and web apps through the gRPC or REST API.
Key features of Tinode
Real-time messaging
Delivers instant messages with typing indicators, read receipts, and message reactions across web, iOS, Android, and desktop clients simultaneously.
Group chats and channels
Create group conversations with configurable membership, roles, and permissions for teams and communities of any size.
End-to-end encryption
Optional E2E encryption keeps message content private — unreadable to the server and any intermediary, even your own.
File and media sharing
Share images, files, and attachments directly in conversations, stored on your own filesystem or an S3-compatible bucket.
Video and voice calls
Built-in WebRTC support enables video and voice calls directly within the chat interface without switching to a separate app.
gRPC and REST API
Full gRPC and REST APIs let you embed Tinode messaging into custom apps or integrate it with existing business workflows.

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.
