As far as I know you can't host your own signal server which connects to their servers.
I'm using Signal with the rest of the family and most friends.
That's right, Signal is not federated.
Yeah they killed federation, though I can't disagree with the reason. Thankfully you don't need to trust the server
You can technically set it up base on the published code, but you'd need to modify the client as well. Not like it's Matrix or XMPP, asking you for server address upon registration. I am afraid to think how much of the server dependence is hardcoded there...
