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.

Hi! I've done some research on self hosting Matrix for Matrix Bridges on a Raspberry Pi 5. Some people have said online that Matrix will be too beefy for an RPI due to large federated chatrooms and information. However, would it still be worthwhile installing just for my own bridges for social media, and maybe as a secure way for friends to interact?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if that's true. I've ran a Synapse Matrix server on a SBC before and it worked. Just for a few users though. I don't know if it breaks if you have like 300 people using that...

You could use conduit.rs as a server. That runs on a few tens of megabytes of RAM. Not a whopping gigabyte. At least that's what I'm using now. It's still missing a few features, though.

Funnily enough I considered that, but I literally couldn't find installation instructions anywhere on their site. The documentation has stuff for configuring a running instance but nothing for actually installing it, lmao

If you end up going with conduit, I would instead use conduwuit. More development effort and better docs IMO. I think maybe even one of the main devs from conduit moved over to conduwuit? But not 100% sure

The domain choice? Eh, not what I would have gone with but to each their own lol
