I am searching for a selfhosted and secure (end to end encryption) chat platform for my family (5-20 users), possibly one i can host on a raspi.

Is matrix a good choice, or should i try something else?

Prove it

Just for reference, here are my favourites on each platform.

Each support modern XMPP extensions, interoperate very nicely with each other, and (at least in my opinion) look good!

Android: Conversations
iOS: Siskin
Windows & Linux: Dino
Mac OS: Beagle IM
Web: Converse JS

https://gajim.org/post/2024-06-10-gajim-1.9.0-released/ looks great these days. Give it a try.

https://movim.eu is also a really nice looking modern webclient

Gajim looks like it runs on windows XP. Movim does not appear to be a client.

Lol, what? Did you download an old version or are you just trolling?

And of course Movim is a client, a web-client like I wrote.

I don't see anywhere to access a Movim web client, only to start your own server. Also no screenshots anywhere that shows what it looks like.

There are literally multiple big screenshots on the page I linked and a big join button that brings you to https://join.movim.eu where you can chose an instance.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I am not trying to join an instance. I'm trying to use a web client for an instance I already have.

There are no screenshots, only artist renderings.

There must be something wrong with your browser. There are multiple big screenshots in a slider on https://movim.eu

And the unrestricted instances on the join page can be used with any xmpp account, however I don't recommend it as servers running Prosody currently only support a subset of Movim's features.
