Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy (www.newsweek.com)

Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default "teen-appropriate" experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

These guys have been at it for several years now. Check out their GitHub, look at the components.

I'm trying to modify their dockerfile a bit so it runs in my container manager and uses my reverse proxy, instead of the one they included, and it creates more containers for this one application than I have for all my other projects combined.

All of which is to say: "pretty hard" is the answer. It is pretty damn hard to build this stuff.

I got the self hosted version up and it looks like it's a much older version than their current iteration which was a kick in the teeth. Nothing discouraging quite like "Well you can self host if you don't mind a worse version of the product". Like my dudes I'm trying to take some pressure off of your server...

Yeah, no voice chat is a bummer. I haven't tried, but my first instinct was, that's a VM right there.

Can you link the repo you used, to sate my curiosity?

Stoat doesn't have screen sharing. Teamspeak 6 does though

Teamspeak isn't open source... Use Mumble, MediaMTX or Matrix instead.

But TeamSpeak 6 requires a client, and a subscription, that is a nonstarter for my use case.
