Tiny self-hosted web chat?

Question

I'd like to install for my son and his school friends a small web chat to use with mobile phone. It should be open source and easy to secure. I have hard time finding a chat easy to install and with little memory footprint.Do you have suggestions?

Maybe nextcloud talk? Nextcloud is easy to install on vps or a rpi and admin. I haven&rsquo;t really used talk but it seems to be privacy focused enough and comes with mobile and web clients.
