[advice] Hosting Matrix Server & Bridges - eviltoast

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!

        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.
