I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I’ve got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

    IIRC they’re just different protocols. Snickett is XMPP, while something like Synapse is Matrix. XMPP is older than Matrix as a protocol, and from what I’ve heard is it’s far lighter on resources than Matrix, at least Synapse. Looked into XMPP when I was researching how I was going to set up my private messaging and it seemed nice, but lack of good iOS clients at the time made it a non-starter as my family and friends are mixed between iOS and Android. Don’t know if the client situation has changed however.

        Oh that’s good to hear. I’ll most likely look into it again then, since client support was what was really holding me back. Do you have an XMPP server deployed? If so, what did you end up going with?

          I run a relatively big XMPP server. For that Ejabberd is better. But in general I would recommend Snikket or Prosody (on which Snikket is based) for self-hosting. But not a huge difference overall.

        Sure thing. But it seems my position on iOS client support is out of date. poVoq said that there’s a couple decent options for XMPP clients now for iOS.
