       Considering to look into hosting an #XMPP server. Anyone has some recommendations for particular servers that I should look into?

       @tyilIn my (totally biased?) opinion, anyone new to self-hosting XMPP should start with Snikket. If you're a bit more experienced with self-hosting or XMPP, Prosody is another good choice (it's not "zero config" like Snikket, but more customization potential for people who like to tinker).ejabberd is the other option that is chosen by some instead of Prosody.Between these options, there is something for everyone 🙂

       @mattj@floss.social I don't need a zero-config option, but would like it to run without containers. Tinkering with services is something that I've done for a while, so long as I don't need to redo the entire configuration after an update it should be good for me. Thanks for the recommendations!

       @tyil if you know your way around docker-compose, snikket can be up and running within 20 minutes - painless! It would also be my first recommendation for people new to xmpp.If you have some Linux skills, endurance in resolving dependencies if there should ne any issues and you know how to deal with certbot/etc, then prosody could be a nice afternoon adventure 😉@mattj

       @aslmx@chaos.social I know my way around #docker-compose, but I'd rather avoid it. #Prosody or #ejabberd seem like the main contestants so far.

       @tyil Both #Ejabberd and #Prosody are always up-to-date in #Debian backports. Perfect choices for enjoying freedeom and stability of Debian and adventure of latest #Jabber #XMPP server releases.Ejabberd (best with #PostgreSQL backend), for high traffic or thousands of users. Prosody (best with file storage backend), for the interesting community modules ("prosody-modules").Note, that you might like to run #coturn or #eturnal, too, for A/V calls and maybe #Nginx for file transfer.

       @tyil There are also #Tigase and #Openfire, but I never tried them myself. If you like to experiment with something relatively new, try #Jackal

       @debacle@framapiaf.org Generally I like things a little older, they're generally better supported, have more/better documentation, and focus more on stability. Granted, this is not always the case, but in my experience, "old" isn't a bad thing in software.

       @debacle@framapiaf.org I'm going to try out #Prosody first. I'll get started with just #sqlite as backend, and run it on my desktop for a while. If it all works great, I'll migrate it to its own server.From what I could gather, it is supposedly a bit more light-weight than #ejabberd, has more modern feature support, and I generally like #lua more than #erlang.(cc @mattj@floss.social @mario@fedi.sabatino.cloud @stefan@social.anoxinon.de @mattj@floss.social @aslmx@chaos.social, thanks for all your suggestions!)
