I wanted to set up a similar chat for an online community.

Do you host yourself or do you use the free version? What scares me is often the cost, especially since there is no way my users will pay the $6 a month and we are not making a profit on this project, so we can't pay for something too expensive.

The idea is often to reuse our existing infrastructure and install a self-hosted chat.

What discourages me every time I want to move forward with this project is that there is never a rough estimate of operating costs when it comes to self-hosted open source chat platforms.

If you could share some pointers, I couldn't thank you enough!
