Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

No trolling.

How does this differ from something like synapse?
Runs on hardware that isn't a supercomputer.
I'm using what it's forked from, conduit, and I've hosted my matrix homeserver on an Intel atom D2550 that's also doing like 3 other things. When I tried the same with synapse or dendrite, opening a big chat room took a few days.
Interesting and good to know, thank you for the info! I haven't run into that issue with synapse yet, but I'm also running it in a docker container on an enterprise server. I also don't currently have any chat rooms with more than 5 or so users, and I imagine that is also a factor.
Synapse is meant for heavy duty and is a pretty resource intensive python implementation.
Conduwuit and derivate is in rust and blazing fast on small footprint.
Thanks, very informative.
Did you just… thank yourself?
I was replying to the links post, must have got it wrong :)
So yes, I ended up thanking myself. Well, I always thanks myself anyway for not having screwed up too badly anyway so... ;)
Looking forward to getting this up on my vps so I can get bridges running.
Is there a matrix room setup for this fork yet or does jevolk have a mastodon? I'd like to follow development
Currently just setup conduwuit, tuwunel will require some more time to be up and ready, but they promised full compatibility upgrade.
See my wiki https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=matrix%3Aconduwuit
There are also instructions for all main bridges.
Nice thanks. I'll get it up and running this weekend
Got conduwuit set up super easily, appreciate the write up as it appears the lead dev took down the documentation site!
One thing I noticed about your wiki was that I don't think there was an explanation of how to get into the admin panel on first run. I got there by pressing Ctrl + c on Debian.
I'll set up the bridges in the coming days
Thank you! This is exactly why I do my wiki, so that people can use and benefit from the work I did before.
Mmm as for the admin console, I will add that, it had slipped from my wiki it seems!
I love this, thank you!
