What you need

a Slack, Discord or Webex app with permission to message members, Docker and a database if you self-host, and a host; the authors also run it as a service

Receipts

No receipt. Our dependency probe acts on a package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, setup.py, go.mod or go.work at the repository root; this project is PHP, and we read its composer.json and its infrastructure/docker/services/php/Dockerfile. That is a gap in our tooling, not a judgement about this project.

How we checked

On 2026-09-13 we read this project’s repository metadata, its file tree and its manifest files through the GitHub API, and followed the outbound link far enough to confirm the address resolves — not that what is behind it is what this page says. That is a records check, not an assessment of the software. We have not installed or run this software.

What the words mean here. Last commit is the date of the newest commit on the default branch, not the date of the repository’s last push to any branch. A licence name is GitHub’s own detection, not our reading of the licence file. A version floor is what the named manifest file declares, quoted from that file. A gap in months is printed whenever it is 12 complete months or more. A licence is not a price. It says what you may do with the source; it says nothing about whether the author sells a hosted tier, a paid image or support. Where this page states a cost, that is something we read and dated. Where it states none, we did not look. A README search is a literal search for one string in one file. Finding the string is not the README declaring that floor, and not finding it is not the project contradicting one.

We do not republish this project’s own material — its README, code, configuration or assets. The link is where those live. What is on this page is ours: what we found and the date we looked.
