CommentBox alternative to Disqus

Like many OSS project they offer a hosted version.

Thanks, not bad, it would be interesting to be able to connect with Ghost to be able to log in with the ghost account.

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad to hear that you like Commento a lot :)

It is. Commento does not have a free plan because it’s not sustainable – you’re the user, not the product.

Most free products almost always tend to fall into the trap of advertising and selling user data to third party, and I don’t want Commento to ever do that. By being entirely user-supported, Commento is already profitable and will be around for a long time (I now also have a strong financial motivation to maintain it).

After a couple of attempts of trying to get commento installed (self-hosted), I finally managed to get it done.

It is a shame the binaries are no longer accessible.

Maybe something on that should be sorted out or reference to them removed from the docs if they are no longer going to be available.

If anyone is interested in self-hosting Commento, here are the steps I took to get it working:

I’m using GCP and installed Ghost on bitnami stack. Is it possible to install commnto on that stack along with Ghost or should I install it on another server?

I have ghost X 4 installed on a $10 Digital Ocean droplet with Commento installed also
