So I want to setup a messaging server in my home that works like Telegram or Whatsapp - it should use the local network as we plan on moving around a lot of photos and files between our devices for some projects

What should I use? XMPP? Or Matrix? Or is there something else that’s ideal for local networks?

Thanks!

  • Oh I already use Syncthing for a lot of stuff, it’s just that this workflow is for sharing drafts and stuff, and there is no necessity for these things to be stored permanently, we’ll be deleting them at the end of day, and the final files will be stored seperately and accessed via Plex
