Which flavor of XMPP you tried?
As I mentioned in the OP I tried Prosody on my FreeBSD server, I've yet to get attachments working.
Oh sorry, misread exactly this part. I've had great experience with ejabberd, maybe worth trying it.
Signal is a good alternatives as you can group call and screen share (no audio), share images and videos etc. Messages are saved locally on devices unless a timer is set on the chat
Thanks, but it's not ideal for our usage, it's not selfhosted and there aren't many clients available. Plus it doesn't have unlimited message and attachments history.
Prosody claims to support Message Archive Management and HTTP file sharing, sounds like the feature you want, or at least it is close.
Yeah it seems to have bunch of plugins but it's not working well for some reason.. :(
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
