We aim to create an XMPP client that respects standards, but currently the project has been tested exclusively with ejabberd. We're eager to receive feedback on compatibility with other servers. If you test Fluux Messenger with a different XMPP server, please share your experience in the Discussions!
Yes. It is already technically possible to host Fluux Messenger on your own web server. After running a quick npm ci in the appropriate directory and serving the correct build folder, you can access it as a web application. This also makes it possible to run it as a PWA, including on mobile devices, directly from your own server. Documentation for this setup is still missing and will be added later.
Looking ahead, we also plan to make Fluux Messenger available on F-Droid, and possibly on the Google Play Store as well.
