@joinjabber @lbja @menel @tigase @andrzej Okay, well nobody ever seems to mention the Docker option, this is the first I have heard of it. BUT... unless you already have some experience with Docker, that's still not EASY, certainly not as easy as just using Signal.
Let me give you an example of what I would consider easy, This is just an example:
You run apt install (program_name) or install it from the distro's package manager, etc. As part of the install it pops up a box asking what port you want its GUI interface to run on.
Then in your web browser you go to localhost, or the IP address of the machine it's running on if not your local machine, and the port number.
The first time it comes up it shows a setup wizard that walks you through the process of setting up the server. The user never sees a configuration or .yaml file. After that you go into a web interface where you can add or delete users, enable or disable specific XMPP functionality (such as size limits on images or files sent between users, just as an example). Thereafter all configuration is done through the web interface.
AND in the setup process it allows you to use a certificate that you already have installed, or if you don't have one it will go get one for you and automatically manage renewals.
THAT would be a relatively easy setup. And it would not require any knowledge of Docker.
