Update:
It has been almost 5 months since I started running a Snikket server. I only had to update once and that was very easy. I faced no issues as of now on the server side. The uptime has been 100%.
This is a blog post I have written on my experience https://fsci.in/blog/snikket-experience/
I found @snikket_im project chatroom as very helping and welcoming. They try their best to help newbies in self-hosting, which usually takes a lot of patience.
@elias @snikket_im Which software does it run on the xmpp server?
@ravi @snikket_im metronome. You can tweak it and add STUN or COTURN on it but i don't want to mess with it too much.
I only use XMPP with my wife atm
@ravi @snikket_im very cool. I run #yunohost so Xmpp is installed by default but it doesn't have video calls setup, only file sending.
