# Deploy Sharkord with Easypanel

URL: /templates/sharkord

Sharkord is a lightweight, open-source, self-hosted chat platform designed as a privacy-focused alternative to Discord for small groups. It provides voice, video, text chat, and screen sharing—all running on your own server. Supports screen sharing up to 4K@60fps. Designed for 5-25 users.

## Installation notes

After deployment, access Sharkord via the main domain. Create your server and
invite others. Voice and video use port 40000. Data is stored in the data volume.
Note: Sharkord is in alpha—expect bugs and breaking changes.
