OpenVK is an attempt to create a simple CMS that cosplays imitates old VKontakte. Code provided here is not stable yet.
VKontakte belongs to Pavel Durov and VK Group.
To be honest, we don't know whether if it even works. However, this version is maintained and we will be happy to accept your bugreports in our bug tracker. You should also be able to submit them using ticketing system (you will need an OpenVK account for this).
We will release OpenVK as soon as it's ready. As for now, you can:
git clone
this repo's master branch (use git pull
to update)A list of instances can be found in our wiki of this repository.
Yes! And you are very welcome to.
However, OVK makes use of Chandler Application Server. This software requires extensions, that may not be provided by your hosting provider (namely, sodium and yaml. these extensions are available on most of ISPManager hostings).
If you want, you can add your instance to the list above so that people can register there.

It depends. You can keep the sources to yourself if you do not plan to distribute your website binaries. If your website software must be distributed, it can stay non-OSS provided the OpenVK is not used as a primary application and is not modified. If you modified OpenVK for your needs or your work is based on it and you are planning to redistribute this, then you should license it under terms of any LGPL-compatible license (like OSL, GPL, LGPL etc).
