Hi all,
I want to host my own matrix server, so that i can run bridges to all the other (stupid) messaging apps.
I am looking for any advice or experience in choosing which server to run, and if you know of any good tutorials, run throughs, etc. i typically would like a lighter instance, as i expect about 3 users, with 2 of us needing bridging.
- dendrite
- synapse
- conduit
- construct
and then the addition of bridges, (Signal, WA, Messenger and hopefully SMS).
I am fairly self sufficient when it comes to self hosting, and i run everything on linux, in docker, proxied by Nginx proxy manager. but typically prefer stuff that works more or less out of the box.
Thanks all!
Besides lacking spaces and some rooms not letting you join, (and the lack of admin tools) the only big issue I find is that you plan to run something other than Element as the interface, you’ll have to test it because many matrix clients expect synapse or dendrite and won’t start with anything else. I’ve run fluffychat, I think kchat(whatever the kde matrix client is), and nheko, they all worked well with conduit.
as you saying that element doesn’t work?
No, I’m saying it does work, but other clients might not.
ah, yep - that is cool. I expect that i will use Element and potentially another simpler client.
I am also curious about how element X will go, which requires the sliding API/proxy thingo. but that is future palitu’s problem.
