> XMPP has less adoption, spam exists but is much rare, so there's less stuff to do. Install a package, get a TLS cert, publish an SRV record (IIRC that's not even strictly required), and that's it. A bit fewer steps.

That's what I thought as well. Please link tutorial on this.



Personally, I'm using ejabberd, but I wouldn't recommend it. Don't have any good tutorial links at hand, sorry.

I'd agree with /u/problems suggestion to try Prosody. http://prosody.im/doc/install + http://prosody.im/doc/configure + http://prosody.im/doc/dns#srv_records + http://prosody.im/doc/certificates are probably all you have to do to get it up and running.


Just install prosody and open up the config file. It includes lots of comments and I believe there's even a web admin interface you can enable.

XMPP SRV record documentation can be found here, if you need to use it:

https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/SRV_Records

If you're finding the documentation to be insufficient, let me know, I might write something more detailed up.
