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

The video calls in nextcloud are a bit…hard to make work flawless, lol. You also need some amount of ram and cpu in the server.

I think you always need some amount of ram and cpu in a server… ;D Well, it’s a shame if those video calls aren’t working nicely without some fiddling. I’ll still set up a Nextcloud at some point, for all that other stuff like calendar, contacts, office, chat and file sync. Kinda enjoying the benefits of cloud synced data, but without a corporation hosting my information and selling me to the advertisement hyenas.

Heh true that. AFAIR Nextcloud Talk Video calls need few additional stuff to be installed for working outside a LAN. You can check some details here: https://nextcloud-talk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/TURN/

I use Nextcloud Talk video calls outside my local LAN and I didn’t do anything special other than install the Talk app.
