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!

Bottom line, it can work, if matrix is what op wants to go with.

As for SLL, without it any browser based thing is going to get you a warning, from the browser itself, at least.
