So, even though you can setup the Signal server (https://github.com/aqnouch/Signal-Setup-Guide https://github.com/aqnouch/Signal-Setup-Guide) on your own infrastructure, in the end it still connects to... Signal own main server (whatever)?
- alexjurkiewicz 5y agoYou can't really run your own Signal server. The app doesn't support connecting to unofficial endpoints, and the server setup guide you link to is an unofficial third-party thing. If you have a custom app compile, it's no longer really "Signal".

I thought one could compile an app from the GPL Signal codebase and use it to connect to own server. They don't want others to connect to them so as to have a high level of security, which includes rapid deployment of state-of-the-art security features across their whole fleet. But any individual or group is free to deploy Signal's code on their own servers and apps.
