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.

Doesn't synapse need like, a server cluster to run? The self-hostable service is supposed to be something owo, I think.
No it works perfectly fine on a relatively small VPS. Ideally you'd want some redundancy for a form of communication but some people (like me) just wing it lol
Not at all. I have my instance sitting on 100MG of RAM and 0% cpu usage. There's only 3 users that barely use it, but there it is.
It scales by number of users.
It's true that it's a resource hog, due to being written in python (who the hell though that), but it all depends on usage.
