Best FOSS Local Messenger Service? (beehaw.org)

So I want to setup a messaging server in my home that works like Telegram or Whatsapp - it should use the local network as we plan on moving around a lot of photos and files between our devices for some projects

What should I use? XMPP? Or Matrix? Or is there something else that's ideal for local networks?

Thanks!

I'm a delighted user of SyncThing but it doesn't fit the use case this time unfortunately.

Berty sounds almost exactly like what I want, though I would have prefered an app with server-client architecture. Is Berty not in Open Beta? I'm being asked for an email that will consider letting me join when they receive it
