I quite like Nextcloud with Talk (spreed), but it's a whole cloud suite. Nextcloud is E2EE, and NC Talk does text, voice, and video. The phone apps are nice too. The only problem is connecting more than 2-3 people in a voice/video call can be a bit much, so they recommend a high-performance backend (either a paid service, or annoying to set up yourself). It might be overkill if you don't also use Nextcloud's other applications, but I use a lot of them extensively, especially when feeding CalDav calendars etc into Home Assistant. Friends making an account on your nextcloud is pretty trivial, even for people who aren't technical. I use the VM hooked to dedyn io for outside access, and it was all very easy to set up. I've had it running for about 6 years now, and only had a problem updating for a while, but it was resolved by the community forums.
This is so great to hear. I’m already using Nextcloud with several of its apps including Talk (what’s with the spreed nomenclature anyway?)
I thought using Talk for this effort was just quick and dirty until I figure out Matrix, but you’ve helped reassure me it’s legit.
If you use the AIO it comes with the high performance backend already set up afaik.
I run nextcloud using the official release without the docket AIO image, but you can just run the high performance backend from docker. This is what I do on my nextcloud server. https://arnowelzel.de/en/nextcloud-talk-high-performance-backend-with-docker
It's pretty straightforward, just run docker container, if you use a reverse proxy much sure the signaling server is properly configured on the reverse proxy and then modify the next cloud settings to point to the self hosted HPB.
Thanks, that's good to know. I set up the hanssonit vm - it was very easy to start off with, but it does things differently to the AIO. The AIO didn't exist when I started out, but I'll look into migrating at some point. It's a fairly large install, so slightly fretful.
