Hi all,

I run a private self-hosted Synapse server with bridges for:

  • Signal
  • WhatsApp
  • Doscord
  • IRC
  • Google Voice
  • Custom APIs

I am thinking of switching to XMPP. Can anyone recommend a good Docker-based server and transport combo that I could test out?

    perhaps a stupid question, but are there bridges for XMPP ? My impression is that XMPP is as good as empty (I do use it mainly as a federated service). Is there still a lot of active development on the XMPP side of things?

    I do not understand your point with ‘you cannot change the URL’. If you use matrix as non-federated and just the only user, what is the problem that you need to change the URL when you need to set up a new server on a new URL? Not being able to change the server at the same URL seems like a logical concequence of authentication, be it for server-to-server communication as for client-to-server communication.

      Yes there are gateways (or transports) for xmpp. See for example https://slidge.im/ but there are also a few other projects.

      It’s maybe a bit less than for Matrix, but the ones that exist tend to work better.

      Yes they are called “transports”.

      As for when I tried to change the URL, I was moving all services from publicly resolvable DNS to .lan, and Matrix is an issue because you can’t change that after the fact, even if you haven’t federated.
