Frequently Asked Questions

Is this project open source?

Yes. The Tribes server software is open source and there is a link to the Github repo at the top of this webpage. You can also find a link to the Github repo the docs website.

Where can I host my Tribes server?

You can host a Tribes server anywhere. You can host it on a Raspberry Pi, a VPS, or even the computer that you are reading this from right now. Tribes servers have a small footprint which make them very versitle.

How exactly is my privacy protected by using this?

In two ways. First, Tribes uses PGP encryption. This is a gold standard encryption scheme that has been battle-tested and is still used to secure servers run by Google and Amazon. Using PGP to encrypt your messages is like using a steel vault as the front door to your house. No one is getting inside. Second, Tribes servers are built to NOT store information for long periods of time. After 5-6 hours, data is erased. This means, if by some reason, hackers get into the server, they will not have much to gain. There will be only an record that you were a member of the server but nothing of what you posted nor chatted.

How to get support for the product?

If you have questions about the Tribes server software, you can post them on the Gitub repo as issue. Questions about the Tribes client, can be directed at chief@tribes.ltd
