Want to setup your own XMPP server? Try https://prosody.im!Prosody is a modern XMPP server that is built in Lua (https://www.lua.org/). Setup is straightforward and maintenance is done with a built in CLI tool. #prosody is built with extensions so any additional XEPs are added with small #lua packages and enabled in a Lua config file.Prosody works best with small to medium size servers. It is great for creating your own #XMPP space!Day 12 #100DaysToOffload#jabber #selfhost #chat

@mattj@tuckercMy goal is to set up a Prosody server as my first home server. I know next to nothing about standing up servers in general. I'm comfortable with Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac.Any tips?

@Economic_Hitman @mattj For your first server I would use Ubuntu. The documentation for Prosody is excellent and will walk you through the setup including tips about common issues (don't forget the firewall!).https://prosody.im/docI have never setup a "home server" or one in my house so I can't help you with that. I usually rent space from the many service providers.

@Atlas XMPP was federating before federation was cool :xmpp:

@tuckerc So if I set up Prosody does it federate with matrix/element ?Also, can I use the element app if I install xmpp with Prosody?

@Atlas @tuckerc Matrix is its own shitty protocol, because someone looked at XMPP and decided it was too simple and XML therefore had to be redone

@Atlas I haven't used matrix much but I do know they have a system setup to "bridge" between chat protocols. I have never tried it though. https://matrix.org/docs/projects/as/matrix-xmpp-bridgeElement will not work with XMPP without the bridge. I use the Conversations app for android and it works well enough. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.siacs.conversations/

@Atlas On second look it looks like people have given up on the matrix-to-xmpp bridge so YMMV

@tuckerc So if I install Prosody o ejabberd, can anyone connect to the server using their choice of xmpp app for iphone or android? Or does the server software have to match the app?

@Atlas XMPP is similar to email. I can connect with the client I want and I can communicate with anyone with an XMPP account. So yes, you can connect to either server with any client. And you can talk to anyone with an XMPP account on any domain.
