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?

    @2xsaiko A big caveat is that I used them in very different time frames - prosody starting from 2021 to now, while ejabberd I used from 2006 to 2012 or so. At the time I used it, ejabberd’s config was done in erlang(!); they apparently they’ve since switched to yaml configs. It was generally fine, but when I switched back to XMPP in 2021, I figured I’d go with a server in a less niche language and better support (the jmp.chat folks mostly use & recommend snikket/prosody).

      @2xsaiko XMPP is nice and lightweight, so I think either would work fine. I just find prosody has more community momentum.

      It was matrix that was a massive memory hog, required running bleeding-edge homeserver software, didn’t do proper security support, etc, so that’s where I have stronger feelings.
