I am searching for a selfhosted and secure (end to end encryption) chat platform for my family (5-20 users), possibly one i can host on a raspi.

Is matrix a good choice, or should i try something else?

https://gajim.org/post/2024-06-10-gajim-1.9.0-released/ looks great these days. Give it a try.

https://movim.eu is also a really nice looking modern webclient

Gajim looks like it runs on windows XP. Movim does not appear to be a client.

Lol, what? Did you download an old version or are you just trolling?

And of course Movim is a client, a web-client like I wrote.

I don’t see anywhere to access a Movim web client, only to start your own server. Also no screenshots anywhere that shows what it looks like.

There are literally multiple big screenshots on the page I linked and a big join button that brings you to https://join.movim.eu where you can chose an instance.

I am not trying to join an instance. I’m trying to use a web client for an instance I already have.

There are no screenshots, only artist renderings.

There must be something wrong with your browser. There are multiple big screenshots in a slider on https://movim.eu

And the unrestricted instances on the join page can be used with any xmpp account, however I don’t recommend it as servers running Prosody currently only support a subset of Movim’s features.
