FAQ · Elektrine

General

What is Elektrine?

Elektrine is a personal internet space for mail, chat, social tools, DNS, and VPN modules the operator enables.

Are the same features on every host?

No. Each deployment chooses modules and local policy.

Do I need separate accounts per feature?

No. One account covers every module on the same deployment.

Can registration be invite-only?

Yes. Invite rules depend on the deployment.

Privacy

What do I need to register?

A username and a password. Recovery email is optional. See the Terms of Service.

What do you log?

We keep short security and delivery logs to stop abuse. We do not sell logs. We do not keep content-level browsing profiles. See the Privacy Policy.

Does the VPN keep session logs?

By default no. Connect and disconnect history is off. Client source IPs are never stored on session rows. Free-tier limits use aggregate bandwidth counters only. See the VPN Policy.

Does mail keep sender IPs or full raw copies?

By default no connecting MTA IP on message metadata, and no second RFC822 raw copy. Mailboxes still store the message bodies you receive. See the Privacy Policy.

Is the source public?

Yes. Elektrine is AGPL-3.0-only. Audit the code at the public repository linked from Legal.

Do you publish a warrant canary?

Yes. See /canary for the current signed statement when the operator maintains it.

Is Tor supported?

Yes when the operator enables onion hosting. The footer shows the onion host if configured.

Payments

Do you accept Monero?

This deployment has no Monero address configured. Ask the operator for payment methods.

Does payment require identity documents?

Elektrine does not run an identity check for payment. Card processors may apply their own rules when cards are offered.

Vision and federation

What is the product goal?

One account for mail, identity, and social tools you want to keep under your control.

What does federation mean here?

A deployment can exchange activity with other servers. Behavior depends on enabled modules.

Which federated protocols are supported?

ActivityPub for social federation. Chat federation uses Arblarg between domains. Optional Bluesky bridges public posts to ATProto.

Modes

What is Chat?

Direct and group messaging.

What is Timeline?

The social feed for posts and updates.

What are Communities?

Topic spaces for longer discussion.

What is Gallery?

Media-focused social views.

What are Friends?

Person-to-person connections on the platform.

What is Nerve?

Encrypted notes tied to your account when enabled.

Email and clients

Which client protocols are supported?

When modules are on: IMAP, POP3, SMTP, JMAP, CardDAV, CalDAV, and API tokens.
