I upgraded from a thinkpad x220, i5 2520M and 4gb of ram to my old desktop computer, with a FX6300, 16gb of ram and a GT 1030.
I already run my own mbin instance in there (the reason for the upgrade), but as it’s a lot faster than the instance needs it to be, I would like to host other stuff too, mainly to Brazil.
I want to host things like searxng, invidious, maybe redlib too, but idk about other services. As there’s the GPU in there, there could be some transcoding too.
Maybe a mixture of private and public services.
Prosody or ejabberd . Those are not resource-intensive, but easy to selfhost and very reliable. You can also have a look at Snikket .
Decentralise communication, take some power of some nasty people and take part in making the world more resilient. :)
Looking at these xmpp servers, ejabberd + a whatsapp bridge seems good to decouple a little bit from the official whatsapp client, thanks for the recommendation!
Oh yes, those transports (https://slidge.im/) are very reliable. I’ve played with Matrix bridges a while ago, but never got to a reliable setup, so I’m very happy with Slidge + ejabberd now.
Don’t worry too much about deciding between Prosody and ejabberd, both are great and include a migration tool from the other. I’ve moved from Prosody to ejabberd, but mostly because I want to know both. :)
