Sable

A Matrix client built to enhance the user experience with quality-of-life features, cosmetics, utilities, and sheer usability. See the changelog.

Join our matrix space here to discuss features, issues, or meowing.

Forked from Cinny.

Getting started

The web app is available at app.sable.moe and gets updated on frequently, as soon as a feature is deemed stable.

You can also download our desktop app for windows and linux from releases.

Self-hosting

You have a few options for self hosting, you can:

1. Run the prebuilt docker container.
2. Deploy on a site like GitLab Pages. Jae has a guide here.
3. Build it yourself.

Docker

Prebuilt images are published to ghcr.io/7w1/sable.

• latest tracks the current dev branch image.
• X.Y.Z tags are versioned releases.
• X.Y tags float within a release line.
• Pushes to dev also publish a short commit SHA tag.

Run the latest image with:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/7w1/sable:latest

Then open http://localhost:8080.

If you want to override the bundled config.json, mount your own file at /app/config.json:

services:
  sable:
    image: ghcr.io/7w1/sable:latest
    ports:
      - '8080:8080'
    volumes:
      - ./config.json:/app/config.json:ro

Build it yourself

To build and serve Sable yourself with nginx, clone this repo and build it:

npm ci # Installs all dependencies
npm run build # Compiles the app into the dist/ directory

After that, you can copy the dist/ directory to your server and serve it.

• In the config.json, you can modify the default homeservers, feature rooms/spaces, toggle the account switcher, and toggle experimental simplified slilding sync support.

• To deploy on subdirectory, you need to rebuild the app youself after updating the base path in build.config.ts.

  • For example, if you want to deploy on https://sable.moe/app, then set base: '/app'.

Local development

Execute the following commands to start a development server:

npm ci # Installs all dependencies
npm run dev # Serve a development version

To build the app:

npm run build # Compiles the app into the dist/ directory

Deployment and infrastructure

Deployment workflows and infrastructure details live in infra/README.md.
