No ads. No tracking. No corporate lock-in. Daccord is open source and community-driven — your server, your data, your rules.

Self-hosted by design

Don't just join a server — run your own

Daccord is nothing without the people who host it. Spin up a server for your friends, your community, or just yourself — and keep full control of your data, accounts, and voice traffic. Nothing passes through us.

EASIEST

Accord Server Desktop

One-click hosting. A tiny app that lives in your system tray and bundles the server and voice — no Docker, no command line, no config. It generates everything on first launch and updates itself. Perfect for friends, a home, or a LAN community.

Docker & VPS

For an always-on community with a real domain, automatic HTTPS, PostgreSQL, and a listing in the public server browser. Deploy AccordServer with Docker Compose in minutes.

# Clone, configure, and launch
git clone https://github.com/DaccordProject/accordserver
cd accordserver
docker compose up -d

Both run the same open-source AccordServer — start on the desktop and move to a full deployment later without your members noticing. Compare hosting options

Ready out of the box

Everything you need to run a community — from day one, with nothing locked behind a paywall.

Messaging

Markdown, emoji reactions, file attachments, replies, and typing indicators across channels, DMs, and group chats.

Voice & Video

Voice and video calls powered by LiveKit with screen sharing, camera support, and a built-in soundboard.

Moderation Tools

Role-based permissions with per-channel overrides, kicks, bans, timeouts, invite management, and audit logs.

Multi-Server

Connect to multiple AccordServer instances at once. Organize your spaces into folders, discover public servers, and switch seamlessly.

Themes & Customization

Five built-in themes plus full custom colors with shareable theme strings. Upload custom server emoji, adjust UI scale, and enjoy a responsive UI that adapts from mobile to desktop.

Self-Hosting

Host from the desktop app with zero setup, or deploy the Rust-powered AccordServer via Docker for an always-on community. Your infrastructure, your rules.

Activities & Plugins

Extend your server with plugins and activities. Add games, tools, and integrations that make your community uniquely yours.

Multiple Profiles

Keep work and personal communities separate — each profile has its own servers, theme, and settings. Password-protect a profile to keep conversations private on shared devices.

Privacy & Account Security

Two-factor authentication with backup codes keeps your account safe. We respect privacy laws without imposing invasive measures like forced identity exposure or unnecessary data collection.
