well, I have xmpp on a testing domain and it works as far as I can tell with monocles chat on Android.
But right now movim is kicking my arse. Might a problem for another day.
At least the prosdy config and instructions makes sense, unlike a lot projects that make a lot of assumptions about prior knowledge. Like Movim. It's hard when you don't know what you don't know.
update: oh, so of course it was a single nginx line needed to pass fastcgi to php-fpm. Ah well its sorted now and I learned stuff

I find it pretty funny that I'd never attempt to self host a matrix server, nor mastodon or pixelfed... because the vague/non-specific instructions mean I can'teven work through beginning to understand how.
I have run Pleroma/Akkoma, and writefreely, but now just have
bssg and
snac - and soon to be in production for family use I think:
prosody with
movim.
Update 2: okay so encryption on multiple devices sucks, as expected. Ugh. Maybe not family-ready for production. More investigation required.
Update 3 looks like a movie issue with omemo.... now set up on a new domain with all reasonable extensions installed. Gajim on desktop and Monocles on Android. Seems to work fine. Better than matrix/element in fact.
