A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Basecamp has released Campfire as an open-source, self-hosted group chat application under the "Once" model (one-time purchase, no subscription). The Docker image includes everything needed for single-machine deployment: web app, background jobs, caching, file serving, and SSL. It supports persistent storage for databases and file attachments, and can be configured via environment variables. The project is hosted on GitHub under basecamp/once-campfire.
