XMPP with teeth 🐺
Lonewolf is a self-hosted XMPP chat server written in Rust. It ships as a single binary with an embedded database, so there's no separate database to install, and it supports federation with other XMPP servers, multi-device accounts, offline messages, and TLS via Let's Encrypt. It's pre-1.0, with clustering planned later, and most of its code was written with AI coding agents.
Why now: The 0.3 release was just featured on Hacker News, drawing attention to a new lightweight Rust XMPP server and its AI-assisted development approach.
Who it is for: Developers or hobbyists who want to self-host their own instant messaging server on a personal domain.
