The other suggestions are probably better, but you can technically self-host Wire (from Wire Gmbh) but I've never done it successfully.
Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Mattermost runs as a Docker container and is excellent. You can create channels and groups which is incredibly useful.
Is there e2e encryption available for mattermost that normies can use?
Mattermost does not have E2EE to my knowledge.
Simplex chat would work
However, I wouldn't host on a Raspberry Pi or even at home for that matter. Get a VPS and host it there. Linode even has a one click app install for Simplex Chat
XMPP is fantastic IMHO
If you want to support a great project and have great uptime check out conversations.im
I don’t recommend self hosting something you want available all the time. That being said everyone has different needs/uses 😊

Zulip hit's the sweet spot for me, as it's pretty straight forward to use and not too many bangs and whistle's.
Alternatively I'm also very happy with signal for communicating with other ones where Idon't have to vother about user management too much.
