## Description

DCTS is a free, open-source chat platform aimed at people who want an independent, decentralized way to communicate while running everything themselves. On a self-hosted server it offers encrypted direct messages, voice chat with screensharing and camera support, a built-in plugin and theme system, a web client, a dedicated desktop client and a fully featured Android app with an integrated messenger. Operators deploy it with Docker Compose using the published ghcr.io image; starred requirements such as the database, reverse proxy and TLS certificates are handled automatically inside the default container. On first run the server prints a setup-wizard URL (http://localhost:5000/wizard/) to the logs, and the first registered account is a normal member whose Administrator role must be claimed with a Server Admin Token shown in the console. Public access expects a domain with at least two subdomains, and the project is funded purely by donations.
