Is Conduit (Matrix server) sustainable, do some of you host it? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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?

Sorry to hijack — does my server name need a tld at the end? I’ve received both a yes and a no thus far. My server name currently has no tld but I’m not sure if that is what is preventing me from federating, or if no tld is just bad practice or something.

[–] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago (5 children)

No problem.

Overall, purely technically, no. This has to be the hostname of the computer the Conduit is running on. And it can be in the local network (LAN) with your own name.

But practically, yes. Because you must buy a domain name and point that domain to the server localtion (IP address). And the only global domain names available to register have TLDs :).

So, yes.

I’m still trying to understand this. I have “example.tld” but when configuring the server name, just used “example”, no tld

You’re saying that my server name in fact needs to be the full “example.tld”?

Thanks for the help.

Definitely the whole server name. Other servers and clients can't guess that information. I think it's properly documented how to do it.

In the mariushosting tutorial I followed a tld was not used. https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-synapse-on-your-synology-nas/ (Step 14)

Same for the conduit tutorial https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-conduit-on-your-synology-nas/ (Step 12)

Ah, well I only read the official documentation on https://docs.conduit.rs/

I'm gonna take a look at this later.
