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.

    Might it be easier to upgrade to Matrix 2.0? Haven’t tested it but it’s supposed to be like 80x faster and more reliable.

      I’m done with Matrix for now and I want to see if XMPP will work for me.

        Fair enough. I’m not a big fan of Matrix anyway. Just thought it might be easier for you.
