Since a years we know, or might suspect, our chats are listend on, our uploaded files are sold for advertising or what purpose ever and the chance our social messengers leak our private data is incredibly high. It is about time to work against this.
I run OpenFire (https://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/) as my server.
Upgrades are easy, and I like the 2000-era interface as it doesn’t take up much room, but if I was starting from scratch again, maybe I would try a different server, as the way it deals with Lets Encrypt certs is a bit annoying when it’s time to renew - this could be user error, but it’s not obvious.
ejabberd having it’s built-in “certbot” equivalent sounds great!
I use Monocles (Android) and Dino (Linux) clients, and it’s pretty stable.
Monocles also allows some server commands from the client, which is pretty cool.
Sorting out TURN was a faff, but it doesn’t help that my server is behind 1:1 NAT I guess :/
Still, now that is sorted, it’s great :)
I just need to find out a way of enticing my friends to use this instead of WhatsApp etc <sigh>
