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.

Why would they? They are not selling snakeoil 😏

On a more serious note: e2ee is a client feature, so it makes little sense for server software to highlight it.

Is there a client for Android that you would recommend which implements OMEMO?

If you are using Snikket, use the Snikket app. It has OMEMO enabled by default. Otherwise I think Cheogram is good, see: https://joinjabber.org/docs/apps/#

You can use Snikket with other servers too, there is no restriction or special sauce. It's mostly a fork of Conversations.
