All your chats in one app - Self-host Matrix with Bridges and Cloudflare - eviltoast

Do your chats look like this? Do you always forget which contacts use which apps? Do you wish there was a way to have all your chats in just one place?

In the following guide I’m going to show you how to use Matrix to achieve your dream of an all-in-one chat app, by using Matrix bridges and securing the connection with Cloudflare Tunnels.

    Thanks for that. I didn’t realize those bridges even existed! Did you try mautrix-gmessages at all? It looks like it supports mms and rcs and is actively developed.

    I need to set up a new matrix server but I’ll probably give those a try too.

    Having a pine phone would be pretty cool to have things like that to mess with.

      No, i’ve never tried that one.

      I do my best to stay far, far away from google. I have a used pixel 3 from ebay with GrapheneOS. No google play services or anything. I pay a company to host my mail (doing it myself wasn’t worth it). I don’t like to be the product and using the #1 advertising company services for free? Hard pass.
