HumHub on Goji — planned channel

HumHub is not available to connect yet. It is on our roadmap with no committed date. Unlike most channels here it is not a public network at all, which changes what it is for.

What HumHub is

HumHub is open-source software you host yourself: a social network for one organisation. Companies run it as an intranet, associations run it as a members' area, schools and clubs run it as a private community. Because you host it, you own the data and set the rules — there is no algorithm deciding who sees a post, and no advertising.

That makes it a genuinely different proposition from every public channel on this list. Posting there reaches people who have already chosen to be part of your organisation, which is a smaller audience and usually a far more valuable one.

What it will do when it ships

• Publish each new article into a space you choose, so announcements can go to the whole organisation and other content to the relevant team.
• Carry the title, summary, picture and link, exactly as other channels do.
• Point at your own installation, since every HumHub lives at a different address.

What is holding it up

The interface HumHub exposes has been checked and the integration is understood; what remains is building and testing it against real installations. Because every deployment is self-hosted and differently configured — different versions, different modules, some behind a company firewall — this needs more careful testing than a single hosted service, where everyone is on the same version.

What you can do now

1. Make sure your installation is reachable. A HumHub behind a VPN, on an internal address, or without a valid certificate cannot be reached from outside, and no integration will change that. This is the single most common blocker.
2. Keep it updated. Integrations target current versions; a long-unpatched installation is both a security problem and a compatibility one.
3. Decide which space should receive articles. Posting everything into the default space is the fastest way to have members mute it.
4. Create a dedicated account for posting, rather than using a person's. When that person leaves, a connection tied to their account leaves with them.

What to use meanwhile

The Custom Webhook channel is available today, and for a self-hosted platform it is a genuinely capable stopgap rather than a consolation. HumHub has its own modules and interfaces for receiving content, and a small script on your side can accept the signed JSON Goji sends and create the post. If you have someone technical, that route works now and gives you exactly the placement you want.

Common questions

Do I need a public HumHub? It must be reachable from the internet to receive posts, though it can stay private to members.

Will member discussions come into my inbox? No. This will be a publishing channel.

Which versions will be supported? Current ones. That is decided when the work is done.

Can I connect more than one installation? Yes, that is the intention — one connection each.
