SchildiChat comes in two variants:

While the variants differ in whether they support FCM push notifications, they both do support UnifiedPush, which allows users to choose an alternative push provider. Please refer to the UnifiedPush website if you are interested in how to set this up.

Depending on the installation method, you can get either stable releases only, or beta releases, if you want to help testing the latest features and don't mind some extra bugs. All official sources to install SchildiChat are listed in the following.
