My friends are open to leaving Discord which has finally given me a reason to look into Element/Matrix. I found the install instructions and am immediately put off. Is this it? No official docker compose? 😞

Forget about synapse and the “official” method. Install Continuwuity a matrix server written in rust, much much more efficient than synapse.
I took some notes while installing it here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=matrix%3Aconduwuit
I didn’t use docker but directly installation is very easy, it’s a single executable.
You are recommending to follow your wiki article but it claims to not use it?
Now I don’t know what to believe.
Yes need to fix that wording its a leftover, done.
They picked it up again?
Continuwuity was never discontinued, the note was for Conduwuit, I forgot to remove it after updated the article.
I saw you recommend Continuwuity on other posts as well. Was just wondering, what made you choose Continuwuity over Tuwunel?
I am asking because I used to host a Continuwuity Matrix Server until a year ago. Recently started to look into hosting a Matrix server once again and found that Tuwunel seems currently ahead of Continuwuity in regards to WebRTC (Element Call) implementation and the sliding sync thingy.
At least they have updated documentation when it comes to WebRTC and how to set it up.
I also installed tuwunnel after conduwuit death. Moved to Continuwuity because of the community vs corporate sponsorship.
I don’t keep an eye on who is ahead, but I want to be sure I don’t have to migrate in the future so I don’t care for development speed, rather continued support and what if tuwunnel company money runs out?
I’ll look into it, thanks.
I’m still in the information gathering phase. Do you know if the element client works with the continuwuity server? Is it as easy as entering the domain, user, and password in the client?
Any client should be compatible with any server, if both are fairly up to date. Though, I never found a client nor server that are actually fully feature complete. The closest to that are synapse and element
Yes both element and elementx and actually any matrix client. That’s the beauty of having standards
But its a pain because all clients from matrix. Org will push you to matrix. Org and need manual taps&clicks to select a different server when you sign up the first time. A bit annoying IMHO and maybe even fraudolent.
Oh man I need to look into this synapse is so slow
