Snikket Server - Your own messaging server in a box

even based on prosody
It's by the same people too. I think the lead developer of prosody is also the lead developer of Snikket

@jdaviescoates Oh that would be cool. Looks like snikket just needs input on domain name and email as a basic starting point - which is nice. Assuming I am following the documentation it supports MUC and http file uploads too and uses the Conversations app on Android (not sure about iOS) and probably even supports push notification too.

For iOS, the Snikket app is based on Siskin

@murgero - sorry, not seeing an option to PM you. Can you give us an update here on how Snikket is working for you? I'm willing to put some money towards making a custom app for this. I think doing Snikket + 2-3 more configuration options will be enough for more self hosters.

Hi, I just want to dust off the XMPP discussion a bit. It's a real shame that there is no XMPP on Cloudron yet. I've been using Snikket for maybe 4 years on another VPS and in all that time there hasn't been a problem. I'm just doing server updates. Snikket is really fast and hassle free for a smaller group. Unfortunately I am not skilled enough to install Snikket on Cloudron. It would be really great if an app could be added to Cloudron.

@archos running prosody is a big challenge with so many options. Unfortunately, we (cloudron team) has no expertise in this to even package prosody reliably. It's one of the reasons we gave up on jitsi too. It's too complex and not clear what is needed and what is not.

Snicket seems to only have clients for Android and Mac:
