SimpleX Self-Host Script, Tutorial, on Monero Provider - eviltoast

cross-posted from: https://monero.town/post/1084048

SimpleX is a private encrypted messenger that creates new identities for each conversation. However, as we pointed out in a previous video, when you first install the app, it’s all the developer’s own servers. This has metadata and centralization risks. We are here to help.

SimplifiedPrivacy.com is a completely different firm than SimpleX (although we share the same first word). We just released a tutorial video with a self-host script for any Debian/Ubuntu VPS that you can use to easily self-host a SimpleX server: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/simplex/

In the tutorial video, we taught how to use Kyun.host a Monero focused free speech provider in Romania that we recommend! However, you can use any provider.

Here is the script on our self-hosted gitlab on Kyun with an Iceland domain: https://git.simplifiedprivacy.is/publicgroup/simplex-self-host/

If you do not wish to self-host, you can add our SimpleX servers to your app for free:

    So please don’t lump crypto (esp. Monero) users as a single kind of people.

    I was expecting childish reactions when I shared this post. But that doesn’t matter, if only one user has benefited from it, it was well worth it.

    Only two days and we already have at least two new servers:

      @ride I know the background: this info could be very useful, and you commented, “Even if not directly Monero-related, this draws attention to the community when such contributions come from here.”

      The problem is, !privacyguides@lemmy.one has a different set of rules than Monero.town does, explicitly stating:

      This is not the place for self-promotion if you are not listed on privacyguides.org. If you want to be listed, make a suggestion on our forum first.

      Hence, as you can see in https://monero.town/post/1085883 (you double-posted the same thing, too), a negative comment about this:

      I feel like this might count as self-promotion, given it’s mentioning a particular website, their GitHub, their running service, etc. Regardless, it is informative

      @LWD@lemm.ee is not “childish”, even stating “it is informative.” But even if this post may be useful, we should follow the rules of !privacyguides@lemmy.one when (cross-)posting here; otherwise, Monero.town may look bad.
