cometchat-self-host

cometchat-self-host is a skill for Claude Code from cometchat/cometchat-skills. It costs 124 tokens per session (1,545 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment guide for running CometChat, a hosted chat service, on your own servers or private infrastructure. It covers Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, air-gapped networks, prerequisites, sizing, and connecting an app to the private instance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and configure a self-hosted CometChat deployment, including containers, Kubernetes, storage, backups, and application connection settings.
Why use it?
It helps teams keep chat data inside their own infrastructure when they need data control, offline operation, regulatory support, or a specific deployment model.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cometchat-self-host scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 24d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ground truth: deployment detail is FETCHED from the live on-premise docs — {DOCS_BASE}/on-premise-deployment/docker/overview, /docker/prerequisites, /docker/production-deployment, /docker/security, /docker/persistence-and-backup, /docker/configuration-reference, /docker/air-gapped-deployment, and /kubernetes/overview (DOCS_BASE = https://www.cometchat.com/docs; append .md). On-prem is a licensed enterprise offering — contact CometChat sales for the images, license, and support. The exact client host-override field is in the on-prem client/configuration docs — fetch it there; do not guess a setting name.

Use this skill when

The customer needs the chat backend inside their own perimeter: data sovereignty, an offline/air-gapped network, a regulated industry, a residency clause the SaaS regions can't meet, or fixed-cost infrastructure instead of per-MAU SaaS pricing. Self-hosting (on-premise deployment) is a CometChat enterprise offering — position it as a differentiator, but don't assert what specific competitors do or don't offer without checking their current docs.

Why self-host (vs the SaaS regions)

  • Data sovereignty — all data (messages, media, backups) stays on infrastructure you control, which supports your GDPR/HIPAA/SOC 2 and residency obligations (compliance is the customer's to certify; self-hosting removes the SaaS data-location constraint). (Region selection in SaaS is cometchat-compliance; self-host is the stronger step.)
  • Air-gapped / private network — deploy with no public internet dependency (/docker/air-gapped-deployment).
  • Predictable economics — fixed infra cost, no per-user SaaS pricing.
  • Operational control — your monitoring, your security perimeter, direct component access.

Deployment models (pick by scale)

Model Target Use when
Docker Swarm ~10k–200k MAU, ~20k peak concurrent most on-prem deployments; lower operational overhead (/docker/overview)
Kubernetes 200k+ MAU, multi-region active-active, autoscaling large scale or multi-region (/kubernetes/overview)
Air-gapped offline / isolated networks export images, transfer, run from a local registry (/docker/air-gapped-deployment)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
