  • Send direct messages, voice recordings and files
  • Invite users and manage access from an admin dashboard
  • Automatically delete older messages and their attachments
  • Bridge a group to Telegram through a bot you configure

Deploy EdgeChat on Cloudflare

  1. Step 1: Set up Appflare in your Cloudflare account

    Once

    Appflare installs itself into your own Cloudflare account from your browser, and runs on the free Workers plan, as EdgeChat does. See what EdgeChat needs on your account.

    Set up AppflareAlready have Appflare? Install EdgeChat

  2. Step 2: Install EdgeChat

    EdgeChat needs no keys or settings from you.

    Appflare generates two values for you: Encryption key and Admin password.

    One switch on the form puts EdgeChat behind Cloudflare Access, so only the people who use your Appflare can open it.

  3. Step 3: Finish setting it up

    After the install, Appflare shows a short step for EdgeChat, on its page.

With Appflare instead of by hand

  • Nothing to build on your computerAppflare sets itself up from your browser, with no API token to create and nothing to install.
  • Updates in one clickAppflare tells you when the catalog has a new version, and Update installs it.
  • Health checksAfter every install and update, Appflare checks that the app answers.
  • It stays in your own accountEverything runs on your Cloudflare account and your plan, and Appflare records what it creates, so an uninstall removes it.

Questions

Does EdgeChat run on Cloudflare's free plan?

Yes. EdgeChat runs on Cloudflare's free Workers plan, and so does Appflare.

What does EdgeChat create in my Cloudflare account?

Appflare creates a Worker for EdgeChat and the resources it uses: KV namespaces, D1 databases, R2 buckets, Durable Object classes and cron triggers. Appflare records each resource it creates; an uninstall deletes them, keeping any data you choose to keep.

How do I update EdgeChat?

When the catalog has a new version, EdgeChat's page in Appflare says Update available. Select Update: Appflare takes a snapshot first, so you can roll back to the version before. You can also let Appflare update it automatically.

Is EdgeChat open source?

Yes, under GPL-3.0-or-later. An open-source license: you may use, change and share the app on its terms. Its source code is at github.com/aozorae/Edgechat.
