XMPP Server? (sedd.it)

I'm looking to try self-hosting an XMPP server for my family to use as a secure communication platform. I realize that end2end encryption with XMPP doesn't seem as strong as something like Matrix but my self-hosted Matrix server has been very unreliable.

I'm looking for recommendations and resources. I'v considered running Prosody and Openfire but both of them look like a pretty involved installation process with plenty of room to fuck up. Does anyone know of something similar to matrix-ansible-install for an XMPP server? Should I be looking at something besides Prosody or Openfire?

Please, no YouTube tutorials. I prefer written instructions.

This isn't meant to be used in case of emergency (not mission critical). I just want something to replace Google Hangouts, primary for my wife and myself.

That being said, I feel comfortable with the security and stability of my backend and I'm already hosting publicly accessible projects for myself and others. I don't need you to try to talk me out of it.
