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!

    yep, i have my sub-domain proxying to the host <server>:8448, and i can use it locally. however the android element app is not able to connect, but the browser element can.

    it is a dilly of a pickle, and i am not sure what is missing.

    the docs at https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/blob/next/DEPLOY.md tell me to curl directly to port 8448… oh, dumbass! just typing this out i saw that it was an if not an and port 8448… never mind! i iwll post this to indicate my stupidity and hopefully figure out what i am doing wrong!

    $ curl https://your.server.name/_matrix/client/versions

# If using port 8448
$ curl https://your.server.name:8448/_matrix/client/versions
