+
+An open source, privacy focused discussion platform.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Commento is a discussion platform that you can self-host. You can embed it on your blog, news articles, and any place where you want your readers to add comments. Unlike most alternatives, Commento is lightweight and privacy focused; we'll never sell your data, show ads, embed third-party tracking scripts, or inject affiliate links.
+
+### Features
+
+ - Privacy focused
+ - Modern interface with a clean design
+ - Automatic spam filtering
+ - Review and approve or delete comments through the moderation interface
+ - Extremely lightweight, allowing for faster pageloads
+ - Import from existing services (like Disqus)
+ - Completely free and open source (MIT Expat license)
+
+### Editions
+
+There are three editions of Commento.
+
+ - **Commento Community Edition (CE)** is open source software that's freely available under the MIT Expat license.
+ - **Commento Enterprise Edition (EE)** includes extra features geared towards organizations. If you're interested in this, [contact me](mailto:c.adhityaa@gmail.com).
+ - [**Commento Hosted**](https://commento.io) is a hosted version of Commento if you don't want to host and manage servers on your own. This is currently in private beta and you can [add yourself to the waiting list here](https://commento.io).
+
+### Installation
+
+The recommended way to install Commento is with [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose). Docker Compose allows you to install and manage the service painlessly. [Read our documentation](https://docs.commento.io/installation/docker-compose/) to find our more on how to get Commento running with Docker Compose.
+
+There are other options to install Commento, including running the binary directly and compiling from source. Please refer to the [installation page](https://docs.commento.io/installation/) for more information.
+
+Once you've installed the software, you need to configure it with various environment variables before starting the service. To learn more about this, refer to our documentation on [configuring Commento](https://docs.commento.io/configuration/).
