Are there ressources that help you find the right Matrix server software in 2026?
There’s Conduit, continuwuity, Tuwunel and Synapse, but what are the differences between them? Which one should I choose when all I want is a homeserver that allows E2EE, federation (optional), voice calls, screen sharing, reliable mobile notifications and that ideally isn’t a ressource hog (aka what people say about Synapse)?


Well dunno about any others but I’ve run synapse on a virtual machine on a thin client. In fact I thats how I currently run it, hypervisor on a hp t640 thin client and a ubuntu vm which is dedicated to matrix. Has served pretty me well since 2019. Same instance, been just relocating the vm to different hypervisors.
Yeah you might not like the perf on a rasp 3
Do you keep your pg on the same VM?
Sorry, whats pg…? And because I have to ask, likely not.
I have bunch of bridges, tho
Where is your postgres DB + data living?
