Just a hint for people searching a tiny selfhosted messenger with encryption and apps for iOS and android.
End-to-End encryption (the hosting admin cannot view sealed topics, default unsealed)
oh no
It says it's federated. When you are your own provider, e2ee doesn't matter nearly as much (you probably have a bunch of personal files, backups, services running on the same box anyway).
Edit: I would gladly take constructive comments with the downvotes. For a moment I thought we were on "selfhosted", where "you are your own provider" should resonate in with most
Your comment is spot on. e2ee is critical when there is server side replication or when you are using a public server, but neither is typically the case with Databag. e2ee imposes some limitations such as preventing server side processing of content which is useful for streaming. In my opinion e2ee is needed when you don't know where the content resides, but when you do it's overkill.
Why not just use XMPP?
Dumbest answer: I didn't find a one click solution on casaOS.
No idea what the heck casaOS, but here you get your turnkey XMPP servers (if you really don't want to use a distro that packages prosody/ejabberd, which are all the ones worthy to be used anyways?):
Wait is XMPP self-hosted?
You can absolutely run your own XMPP server. It came with my Yunohost installation.
How does this compare with matrix?
I call it d-bag for short.
how so?
