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

Don't listen to all the Matrix fanboys here đ It's no fun having to manage the massive server application and the mobile apps pretty much suck.
I would go for https://snikket.org/ which is a lightweight all in one solution based on XMPP specifically designed for what you want.
