What would be a good way to host your own XMPP server for messaging and video? I tried setting up ejabbert but didn't get it to work for video... setting up a synapse server on the other hand was easier.
Any other options? Or good ejabbert guides for that matter?
You set up both synapse and jitsi-meet? Because Matrix does not natively support video at all and simply uses the XMPP based Jitsi-meet for it. Also did you setup your own identity service for Synapse? Because without both, you didn't really self-host matrix :p
In general though, getting video to work with STUN/TURN is a bit more involved. But this is a general issue and also happens if you self-host video support with Matrix.
But you might have better luck with https://snikket.org/ which tries to include everything and is based on Prosody.
