Hi #raspberrypi and #matrix #xmpp folks.

I want to setup a chat server on my old Raspi 4 with 4GB RAM.

What option would be best for self hosting a small server for around 10 to 30 people?

XMPP ejabberd
XMPP Prosody
Matrix Synapse

Voted #prosody by @prosodyim. Make sure to stay with the default backend, i.e. filestore, because it's stable and battle-tested.

I assume, that #ejabbberd by @ejabberd can also work with 4 GiB RAM. In that case, I recommend the PostgreSQL backend, not Mnesia.

Never tried to run a Matrix server. I only use it from #Jabber via the #slidge gateway.
