Matrix to XMPP migration (lemmy.nowsci.com)

Hi all,

I run a private self-hosted Synapse server with bridges for:

  • Signal
  • WhatsApp
  • Doscord
  • IRC
  • Google Voice
  • Custom APIs

I am thinking of switching to XMPP. Can anyone recommend a good Docker-based server and transport combo that I could test out?

Prosody is probably your best bet. It's modular, easily configurable and is basically fully compliant with the XMPP specification. For your bridges however, I'd reccomend not going fully into XMPP because there are very little bridges available for it. As for dockerization, apparently they are not currently updating their dockerfiles, so this is another thing to take into account.

Unfortunately the whole point of my system is bridges/transports. I don't even use Matrix itself, I use it as a centralized messenger.

Or Slidge

Promising, would need to supplement GV and Signal, but this gets me halfway there, thanks.

Maybe try Matterbridge

Doesn't matter bridge work by "adding a user" to rooms, vs just your user?

I haven't actually used it, so I wouldn't know

It's distributed through standard package managers, it would be trivial to create a Dockerfile to make your own container.

snikket is prosody's little sister. docker ready

The Prosody docker images are basically https://snikket.org/ which is developed by one of the Prosody developers.

But Ejabberd also has good Docker containers.
