Valour is an open-source community platform. Communities are called planets and can contain chat, thread feeds, wikis, voice and video channels, roles, an economy, and a village. The client lets you keep several conversations open in separate tabs and panes.
Open app.valour.gg in a browser. Application downloads are listed in GitHub releases.
Valour offers optional Stargazer subscriptions with additional account perks. The server's configured payment services determine which purchase controls are available on a self-hosted instance.
Yes. Planets have call channels, and direct and group conversations support private calls. The instance can use Cloudflare RealtimeKit or LiveKit. A planet can also configure its own LiveKit server for planet calls. Private calls use the instance provider. See Direct and group calls.
The client includes a Discord importer. Bots, OAuth applications, and incoming webhooks provide ways to connect other systems. Bots follow the planet's membership and permission rules. See the bot guide.
Registration uses an email address, username, and password. Email delivery and verification behavior depend on the instance's email configuration. The registration flow does not require a phone number or government ID.
Yes. The Compose bundle includes the application and its PostgreSQL, Redis, media, and HTTPS services. See Self-hosting for setup and Deployment for operational details.
A hub manages accounts and the planet registry while independent community nodes host planet data. The client uses separate credentials to connect to each community node. Planet owners can move between hub and community hosting through a verified handoff. See Federation.
The .NET SDK is in Valour/Sdk. It handles API requests, real-time node connections, model caching, and client services. Its source is built alongside the application, so use a project reference when developing against this checkout.
Follow the local setup guide. Search GitHub issues before filing a bug or suggestion. Include reproduction steps and relevant logs without credentials. Security reports go to the address in the security policy.
