Nice, had my XMPP server now running for a couple of weeks, not many users on it so far though. But my highlight of the week was managing to get the slidge whatsapp bridge with Prosody running, so I at least don’t have to use the official app anymore for all those people who resist to get off of it.
Comment on What's your self-hosting success of the week?

I’ll go first: I got setup XMPP (Prosody) for the family.
Also, less this week (cheating a little), but I’ve setup all my services with SSL (self-hosted root CA), domain names, and (finally) a dashboard (Heimdall.)

Nice, same! Was also really positively surprised by how great the Android app(s) for XMPP feel.
Only thing not working yet for me is group chat creation. Oh well. Maybe this weekend.
On the other hand though, voice and video calls have worked flawlessly.

We’re on iOS and I wish I could say the same. Looking at the Android apps makes me very jealous.
What server software are you using? I went with Prosody and it felt pretty easy to setup the muc module for groups, but, on the other hand, I haven’t gotten around to voice and video calls.

Are you using sturn/turn server? Almost always needed for calls and video, you should join prosody support channel that are really helpful xmpp:prosody@conference.prosody.im?join

Ah, too bad. IMO better clients would make it drastically to convince people to switch.
Hm, I can create groups (also on a muc subdomain), and the other members are added, but writing a message triggers “x left the group” for everyone. Dunno. Probably something trivial I overlooked. But honestly… Weather is too good today to be bothered 😄
Ah, I already had a TURN/STUN coturn server set up for matrix and jitsi, so it was just a matter of telling prosody about that. So I cheated a little I guess 😄 Here is my full config for that, in the unlikely event that you’re using NixOS.
