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!
I set up conduit recently after struggling with dendrite and it’s been great - the conduit matrix room is super supportive, too. Real lightweight - I have conduit and bridges for instagram, messenger, signal, and irc all running on the same cheap hetzner vm.
I have a separate VM setup just for matrix and use this Ansible playbook method: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
