Your site's comments, hosted in France
Add a lightweight and comprehensive commenting space to your blog or website with Artalk, installed and maintained by DINAO. Your comments stay with you — no trackers or third-party data collection.
What is Artalk?
Artalk is a self-hosted commenting system, both intuitive and feature-rich, ready to be integrated into any blog, website, or application. It puts you back in control of your comment data : everything remains under your control, without trackers or third-party collection.
Its architecture is deliberately lightweight and performant : the client weighs approximately 40 KB, is written in Vanilla JavaScript, and remains independent of any framework, while the server, developed in Go, offers cross-platform performance with simple deployment via Docker.
Regarding features, Artalk offers multi-site management, social login, email notifications, and comprehensive moderation tools, as well as Markdown support, emoji packs, image uploads, and voting — everything needed to engage a community while keeping control of your data.

Technical details
You might be wondering…
How do I integrate Artalk into my site?
Simply add the small JavaScript client (~40 KB) to your pages : it is independent of any framework and integrates into a blog, static site, or web application. DINAO handles the Artalk server.

Markdown, emoji packs, image uploads, voting, email notifications, social login, multi-site management, and comprehensive moderation tools, all in a lightweight interface.
Where is the data hosted?
On DINAO's infrastructure in France, in one of the available data centers. Your comments and those of your visitors never leave the territory and are not entrusted to a third-party service.
Do I need technical skills?
DINAO installs, secures, and updates the Artalk server. On your end, integration is as simple as pasting a small script into your pages; moderation is done via a web interface.

With self-hosted Artalk, your comments belong to you, stay in France, and are not used for advertising purposes. No forced trackers for your visitors and no dependency on an external platform.
