What is octo-deployment?

OCTO Deployment is the official set of configuration files for self-hosting the OCTO platform, an open-source team collaboration and communication platform (essentially a self-hosted messaging system). This repository does not contain application code, it contains the infrastructure definitions that tell a server how to run OCTO. Two deployment paths are provided. The first is a Docker Compose stack for a single server, which is the quickest way to get started. Running setup.sh auto-detects your public IP, generates all required secrets, and brings the full application stack up in one step. The second path is a Kubernetes configuration using Kustomize (a tool for customizing Kubernetes manifests across different environments), intended for multi-node production deployments. Kubernetes is an orchestration system that manages containerized applications across a cluster of machines. The OCTO stack includes six services: the core server, a web client, an admin panel, a matter service, and two smart-summary services. It depends on MySQL 8 as the main database, Redis 7 for caching and messaging primitives, WuKongIM (an open-source instant messaging backend that handles persistent connections from clients), and S3-compatible object storage such as MinIO for file attachments. When running in Docker Compose mode, only one port (TCP 28080 for HTTP, or 28443 for HTTPS) needs to be exposed to the internet. The project is written in Shell and targets self-hosted deployments. The README includes an extensive legal disclaimer noting that operators are responsible for regulatory compliance in their own jurisdictions. The full README is longer than what was provided.
