Open-source team chat with enterprise-grade reliability and security.
When you self-host Zulip, you get the same software as our Zulip Cloud Standard customers.
Unlike the competition, you don't pay for SAML authentication, LDAP sync, or advanced roles and permissions. There is no “open core” catch — just freely available world-class software.
Protect your sensitive conversations and simplify compliance by self-hosting Zulip behind your firewall.
Zulip's authentication and permissions systems are designed to flexibly support every organization's security tools and policies.
Making sure your information stays protected is our highest priority.
Keep full control of your data and avoid unpredictable downtime from SaaS team chat vendors by hosting Zulip on your own infrastructure.
Our extensive configuration options let you set up Zulip to suit the needs of your organization. Zulip offers over one hundred native integrations, and hundreds more via third-party extensions.
Our well-documented scripts help you setup, backup, and upgrade your self-hosted Zulip installation. Migrate your data and integrations from other chat tools for a smooth transition.
Self-host Zulip directly on Ubuntu or Debian Linux, in Docker, or with prebuilt images for Digital Ocean and Render.
Zulip has been extremely stable and requires no maintenance beyond installing updates.
Zulip is engineered to make every interaction snappy and efficient, even for organizations with 10,000s of users, with a simple deployment on modest hardware.
With a user experience designed to work great at any size, organizations that send thousands of messages per week thrive on Zulip.
You can move freely between Zulip Cloud hosting and your own servers with our high quality export and import tools.
Zulip also supports exporting your organization's message history to a static HTML archive.
Creating custom integrations is a breeze with our well-documented REST API.
