Briar is a messaging app designed to be used by groups of people to allow for secure and censorship resistant communications.
This technically isn’t self hosted in the strictest sense but I think it is still relevant.

After a loot of research and testing different tools (Briar, Jami, Simplex, Session), I ended up using XMPP (Snikket). The call quality is good, has E2EE, Self-hosteable
Edit: fixed a typo
I will never not grin slightly at the name XMPP.
I don’t know why this gets downvoted. Xmpp is my solution as well. Lightweight, selfhostable and federated, it’s just a great solution. Briar is good as well and probably one of the best solutions if your are an activist/journalist. But it will eat your battery as all p2p solutions will. Is you host your own xmpp server at home, that’s really as secure as it will get imho.
Yeah… I’m a bit surprised by the downvotes also. I just shared my experience without saying anything bad about any apps. Anybody is free try any tool they want until they find the one that fits their need. Thanks for the support 🤝
