Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Not sure what the problem with Gajim was. There's a distro package already in Arch, although I usually use the AUR packages from git. I haven't had any problem with either of them, though.
You should be able to limit MUCs so that they're only for local users of a server and not accessible to people outside the server. Or, you can make them invite only, require a password, etc. So there are options there.
One-to-one video and audio chat works pretty well with XMPP. I don't think group video/audio works, but I've never tried. I know that's a really popular thing on Discord, so it'd be nice if XMPP had that too. I think there's some work toward it, but I don't know where that's at.
