I want to selfhost a messaging service for my family. It should be secure and have voice calling option, ideally. Thank you.

    Why? Existing platforms, especially the plain cell network, are going to be far more compatible and reliable.

      Because this is SelfHosted and hosting services yourself is cool?

      Some people have very legitimate reasons to want a secure private communication platform, and others are just enthusiastic nerds who do it for fun.

      Cellphone network calls / texts aint secure at all. If you want to communicate in a secure way you need to use another seevice/app.

      Many stated matriy as selfhostable service and i totally agree. Signal/Threema are also good options If you dont want to selhost.
