So I want to setup a messaging server in my home that works like Telegram or Whatsapp - it should use the local network as we plan on moving around a lot of photos and files between our devices for some projects

What should I use? XMPP? Or Matrix? Or is there something else that’s ideal for local networks?

Thanks!

    I’ve not used it as FTP as it wasn’t built for that. It was, however, brilliant for messaging. In regards to some comment below about the domain - you could always spin up a little unbound instance (+wireguard for your own stuff everywhere).
