Anything better than matrix/prosody server?


Setting up matrix is fairly easy now, using ansible playbook for contuwunity is just following a few steps and runs fairly light. If you dont need persistent voice channels, group calls and all the extras I prefer xmpp (prosody specifically) its simpler and more robust in my experience,


You can get fanless mini PCs bare from aliexpress for cheap then buy laptop ram and ssd seperetly (chepeast you can find)
an admin webui is planned for the future. The only thing that annoyed me thus far was changing existing users emails
i host authelia and use oicd for everything that supports it or autehlia as a middleware if it doesnt, its great
homelab running linux mint with about 60 docker containers about 45w, meassured at the socket (2HDD)


That’d so funny man lol i love the mascots tbh


I’d say it would be a common use case but still never see people host it, a deadman switch sends notifications for you to check in, and if you miss enough of them sends selected contacts notifications and executes scripts


All the anti matrix sentiment is so strange to me especially from people on the fediverse…
I use and host matrix, I love it, I wouldn’t even consider any other alternative as they all lack core must have features
Normies don’t care so no


Also take cash over mail


AZERBAYCAN AAAAA ZERRR BAYYYY CAA AAAAAN


I don’t like it, the whole point to me is to not pay anyone to store thing on a computer that I don’t own. If you have a dedicated IP I would always prefer a homelab
SSH but i mostly do everything over dockhand which is a webuj for docker
Yeah yeah ill document everything one day, when all is “done”…
Jokes aside I just use outline for everything but I wanted something more lightweight as a kind of backup that works with plain text, other ones I didn’t quite like but this seems just right
I only host for my family and me otherwise use public servers, for that my server never consumed much resources at all and I never ran into these key issues people mention. I’ve been hosting it for 6 months. Idk despite it all Matrix just checks all the correct boxes is it not worth using even with the issues you had?
Matrix solution always worked good for me
Why does nobody like matrix? I get setup maybe used to be hard but I personally used ansible playbook and its really noob friendly and simple
Why not mumble, no license no user limit AFAIK better quality/latency
