    casaOS is a docker-compose simplified one click solution, like unraid or heimdall.

    Sure I tried to add xmpp to my apps, but finding the right one on xmpp is like the first experience with Linux … too many alternatives. I tried openfire because it sounds good with a compose file and proxy all to my caddy server. But I am stuck actually (the last 10 min), and I am unable to decide if ejabberd is better.

      If your system is based on docker, couldn’t you just use the official docker image I linked? Besides, I wouldn’t recommend openfire, not because it’s not a capable server (it’s been to long since I tried it to have a meaningful opinion), but because it has less widespread usage than ejabberd/prosody, and by extent, probably less resources to help you configure it to your needs.

      I know it’s not the topic of this thread, but you are not making a convincing case (to me!) for a “docker-compose simplified one click solution” that pulls you away from the most popular and well maintained alternatives :)
      And you will also likely encounter things down the road pertaining to firewall configuration, domain name resolution and port multiplexing that containerization will turn into a configuration and troubleshooting nightmare, so… enjoy! (or not)
