Can you run a Prosody server on a rasPI?

Do you need a static IP? (Xfinity appears alergic to allowing static IPs any more, and I am too lazy to setup my own router after 26 years setting up other peoples net infra..)

Id love to chat with you...

Sure.

>Do you need a static IP?

Well you need a domain name to identify your server. It's the same thing as with email. So however you can do that...

It might be less work to just use a preexisting public server:

I'm sure you can... but I think one of the big hiccups is that you need DNS to point to your server if you want it to be externally available.

I've used XMPP servers for intra-organization chatservers before though, and it worked great!

Easily.

No, but you need access to a domain record to add the required entries for XMPP, and update them if your IP changes. One can do this for free (once you have a domain that points at their DNS records) with a provider like Digitalocean and their API to update the domains.
