What's the best self hosted end to end encrypted web chat service for a family and friends #HomeLab?
I'm thinking something that works well with only a web interface (maybe optional app), so if I want to chat with someone I can send them a link and only my server sees the IPs, metadata etc, and only the parties see the content. Server tracks contacts and caches messages.
If it comes with group chat, #p2p VOIP/video chat, all the better, but just standard chat would be fantastic.
