[advice] Hosting Matrix Server & Bridges (lemmy.perthchat.org)

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!

Do not use Dendrite for multi-user setups if you plan to run bridges. Contacts handled by the bridges are visible by the whole server, which means that it leaks many information on your contacts (names, phone number, ...). I'm also not sure that multi-user puppeting is supported with dendrite.

I would advise you to run Synapse because of that.

thanks, i am hoping to get conduit up and running, and the default docker-compose seems to be going ok, just need the rest of the plumbing, then the bridges and i will be sweet :D
