Note: Conversations requires converting UnifiedPush-style notifications to XMPP messages first, which is done by a service hosted at up.conversations.im. This service, called a rewrite proxy, can also be self-hosted.
Note 2: Conversations is NOT an end user application. Conversations is a distributor that keeps a background connection open and lets other apps receive notifications through it.
In addition to a regular XMPP server, you need a UnifiedPush->XMPP Rewrite Proxy to turn UnifiedPush messages into XMPP messages. There are multiple options for rewrite proxies.
up is a proxy written in Java by the developer of Conversations. It’s server independent and works with an external XMPP server.
mod_unified_push is a Prosody module that turns Prosody into a complete push server.
