XMPP Server? (sedd.it)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I'm looking to try self-hosting an XMPP server for my family to use as a secure communication platform. I realize that end2end encryption with XMPP doesn't seem as strong as something like Matrix but my self-hosted Matrix server has been very unreliable.

I'm looking for recommendations and resources. I'v considered running Prosody and Openfire but both of them look like a pretty involved installation process with plenty of room to fuck up. Does anyone know of something similar to matrix-ansible-install for an XMPP server? Should I be looking at something besides Prosody or Openfire?

Please, no YouTube tutorials. I prefer written instructions.

Implemented in python with the initial goal of “bridging every chat platform in existence” is just bound to be a disaster.

Just like Chia, who on their right minds would do those things in Python.
