So I want to setup a messaging server in my home that works like Telegram or Whatsapp - it should use the local network as we plan on moving around a lot of photos and files between our devices for some projects

What should I use? XMPP? Or Matrix? Or is there something else that’s ideal for local networks?

Thanks!

    If you’re moving primarily files, I’d probably use Synthing, which is easy to set up for several devices and is really good at syncing files. If you need to be sending messages like a chat, then you might have some luck with Berty, which can work over local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth; though it is in beta.
