Remark42

Reader access is configurable. Enable at least one method: email, anonymous access or a social identity provider. Social login requires that provider's application and callback settings. Anonymous names need at least three characters and may contain letters, numbers, underscores or spaces.

Server setup uses a configured URL and signing secret. For a Docker deployment, customize the supplied configuration and replace its sample administrator password if using that optional authentication method. Set the embed's host to your Remark42 server and match its site ID to the backend, then add the script and comment container to the page. The service also runs as a standalone executable on Linux, Windows or macOS.

Configured administrators gain extra controls for deleting comments, blocking users temporarily or permanently, and closing comments on individual posts. Moderators can pin contributions, and notifications can reach staff through email, Telegram, Slack or webhooks. Readers can follow replies or use RSS.

Remark42 stores data in an embedded file, exports JSON and creates automatic backups. One instance can serve several sites. The MIT-licensed software has no licence fee, but you operate the server and any chosen login-provider integration.
