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.

I plan to host Conduit for my friends and family. Even if I invite absolutely everyone there would be no more than 50 users, max. But would it actually sustain and work, as it is not yet on 1.0 is a question. I do not want to host Synapse as I had bad time with it's (lack of) garbage collecting. We do not plan to join very big rooms.

Most importantly, if you host it yourself, host is the usage (mostly disk) with how many users?

Conduit should run fine up to many hundreds of users on a single node as far as message passing goes. For the storage part, you'll only operate as well as your storage solution. I'd honestly expect to invest some money on that part if you want the system as a whole to operate well, because some of the Matrix message handling is synchronous to media if attached to a message.

Depends a bit on how much images and videos get shared. If its mainly used for chat by a bunch of people and a few gifs and stickers in-between, it shouldn't consume that much storage. But sure if you frequently share all your vacation photos, the cache is going to grow fast.
