OpenVibe.Chat is "The communication authority extracted from OpenVibe.Live": rooms, messages, DMs, calls, TTS and audio queues, moderation and presence, at openvibe.chat on port 4400. Since the cutover on 2026-09-23, Chat is the authority for openvibe.live's chat in every mode, and Live runs no chat of its own.
What it does
Chat moved Live's WebSocket chat server, DMs, chat history, TTS, soundboards, moderation and word filter behind a service boundary. The TTS and sound queue persists requests in audio_requests, played one at a time per room and surviving a Chat restart. Chat owns its own PostgreSQL tables for messages, DMs, channel sounds, relay users and moderation actions, plus the six chat tables (moderators, moderation settings, emotes, tags, AI summaries, timeline). openvibe.chat adds public and private rooms with roles, the DM inbox, settings and calls. Member badges come from OpenVibe.VIP, chat-AI summaries run through OpenVibe.AI, and emote image bytes live in OpenVibe.Media.
What it does not do yet
Live's voice and video calls are ported but not switched over yet (CHAT_CALLS=1). Chat produces no mention notifications; the @mention highlight is drawn by Live's chat client. Bans, channel moderation settings and the media-request queue are still Live's, reached through live-context.
How it fits the network
Chat depends on OpenVibe.Network for identity and the chat.preferences user module, OpenVibe.Live until the rest of chat's data moves, OpenVibe.Events, OpenVibe.Media, OpenVibe.VIP and OpenVibe.Contracts. It is also served on openvibe.live's origin through an nginx include.
Status
Node 22 with Express and ws, PostgreSQL through openvibe-sdk/db, and Valkey for per-actor limits. It is deployed as openvibe-chat.service on 127.0.0.1:4400. Its stage is alpha. License: AGPL-3.0.
