I’ll add to the pile: https://roguesecurity.dev/blog/xmpp

Prosody gets my vote as well for extensibility over snikket and still being relatively easy.

My guide caters more towards OCI runtimes if you’re into that. I like podman and quadlets, but you could do docker as well.

XMPP for the win!

XMPP gang rise up! There are dozens of us!

I’m all about adding to the proverbial arsenal. 🤘

You’re absolutely right! I’d point you back to my notion of cost-benefit analysis. Anything more than the 20min that I’ve spent on analysis so far isn’t worth my time. If the VM falls over permanently, that was a risk and my time savings has already been worth that risk. If I were looking at something like a production file server or domain controller, sure – I’d spend more time on it. Likely though, I’d just have engineered it better in the first place. Not every problem warrants a high precision solution. 🙂

I’d be interested in seeing that, or at least knowing which ejabberd container you chose and why.
