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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

That explains why my Matrix <-> Signal bridge was complaining about being disconnected.

Does this break all the various security features that are the reason to use Signal in the first place?

The Matrix server is a normal Signal client that can encrypt/decrypt messages from your account.

Assuming you trust your server, no. I would not use it on a third party Matrix server.

You can connect Matrix with Signal?

Sure, I got all my Signal/Telegram chats synced to my Matrix server.

I think I'll be heavily looking into this then! Thanks
