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.

We use Matrix (Synapse) and it works extremely well. I just wish I could get a STUN/TURN server working...
My family has been using Synapse since before Covid hit, including TURN server (coturn) for audio and video calls. No complaints about the UI so far, except for Element on iPhone reportedly "freezing" for a few moments when sending messages - and that was over a year ago.
What problems do you have getting TURN to work?
I tried setting up coturn with docker but I can't remember offhand what I had issues with. I am running a reverse proxy (Traefik) with wildcard certs. I should dig into it again. Do you happen to have any pointers or any good guides I could try following?
