What is Stoat?
Self-host Stoat on your own VPS in one click
Stoat gives your community its own place to talk: text channels, voice rooms, roles, custom emojis and bots in an open-source Discord alternative, formerly known as Revolt. With Stoat server hosting at ZAP-Hosting, that platform runs on your own VPS. You deploy Stoat from the Coolify app marketplace in one click instead of working through Docker Compose by hand, keep full root access and pick a location close to your members.
Because the server is yours, chat history, uploads and member data stay on your instance instead of a platform you don't control. Root access lets you open the ports Stoat's voice service needs, connect your own domain, switch registration to invite-only or run the official Docker Compose setup yourself. Stoat is open source, so there is no license fee on top of the VPS it runs on.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Stoat
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
You get a KVM VPS with Stoat ready to deploy in one click from the Coolify app marketplace, full root access, DDoS protection and a choice of locations in Europe and America. Stoat runs as your own instance of the open-source Discord alternative, and current prices are shown live in the shop.
- One-click Stoat deploy via Coolify
- Root access for ports, domain and configuration
- Cancel anytime
Open the one-click app installer in your VPS dashboard, pick Stoat from the Coolify app marketplace and start the deploy. Coolify pulls and starts the Stoat services for you. If you prefer full manual control, root access lets you follow the official Stoat self-hosted Docker Compose setup instead. Learn more in the Help Center
Stoat's own docs name 2 vCPUs and 2 GB RAM as the minimum. Small, text-focused communities usually start there, while groups that use voice and video every evening benefit from more CPU and RAM. Treat this as a guideline, watch usage in your dashboard and size up when needed.
- Text-first groups: an entry plan around the minimum
- Active voice and video: more CPU and RAM
- Heavy file sharing: extra storage
Not necessarily. When you install Stoat through One-Click Apps, you can use a zap.cloud subdomain with HTTPS. For your own address, register a new domain or use one you already own, create a DNS record that points to your VPS IP and enter that domain in your Stoat configuration. How to set DNS records
Yes. The self-hosted Stoat stack includes a voice service for voice channels and calls, and video can be enabled on your instance. Voice needs a few extra TCP and UDP ports open, as listed in the official self-hosting docs, and with root access you set those firewall rules yourself. Firewall guide in the Help Center
With the ZapX Pass you can create and restore Backups of your VPS in the dashboard; how many Backups are kept depends on your Pass tier. Stoat stores messages, uploads and its secrets on the VPS, so also keep a copy of your configuration and secrets file in a safe place. Read the Backup guide
Yes. VPS plans scale by CPU, RAM and storage, so when more members join or voice usage grows, you can upgrade to a larger plan from your dashboard instead of starting over on a new server.
ZAP-Hosting offers VPS locations in Europe and America, so you can choose the one closest to your community at checkout. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Availability varies by product and location.

Voice calls on my Stoat server don't connect. What should I check?
Most often the voice service ports are blocked. Compare your VPS firewall with the TCP and UDP ports listed in the official Stoat self-hosting docs, then check in Coolify that the voice service is running.
How do I open those ports?
Add allow rules for the listed ports in your firewall, reload it and test a call again. I can explain each rule step by step before you apply it.
