Self-hosting UnifiedPush with Conversations as Distributor

You might have heard that XMPP in general, and Conversations in particular, make a great UnifiedPush Distributor. That is correct! However, you might find yourself in a dilemma: you already have an XMPP account with a trusted provider that you want to keep using, and you don’t want to host and maintain your own XMPP server. Furthermore, you may not feel comfortable using the publicly accessible Rewrite Proxy up.conversations.im. Luckily, you can easily self-host just the Rewrite Proxy component (the part that would otherwise default to up.conversations.im in Conversations).
