Seems like SimpleX might already do what you’re looking for.
Comment on Self hosting Signal server
KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml 3 days agoI actually don’t want to run it on regular signal network. Just want to self-host it on my home server, and allow home devices to use it to communicate via tailscale.
Basically my own private signal network that my devices connected to.

I self host NTFY instead. It’s not a chatbot but a hell of a lot easier to integrate devices into.

You will also have to recompile the official apps with the new domain/IP. And then keeping both updated. That’s too much work. I’d rather self-host Matrix without federation. Or XMPP.

I had a quick look and seems there have been some projects packaging the Signal server for Docker... But the projects Google returns as results on the first page all seem to be abandoned. Seems this is a bit niche. Unfortunaltely I don't have any good advice here. I run a Matrix server, so I don't have experience with this.

Sounds like a job for XMPP
