[advice] Hosting Matrix Server & Bridges (lemmy.perthchat.org)

Hi all,

I want to host my own matrix server, so that i can run bridges to all the other (stupid) messaging apps.

I am looking for any advice or experience in choosing which server to run, and if you know of any good tutorials, run throughs, etc. i typically would like a lighter instance, as i expect about 3 users, with 2 of us needing bridging.

dendrite
synapse
conduit
construct

and then the addition of bridges, (Signal, WA, Messenger and hopefully SMS).

I am fairly self sufficient when it comes to self hosting, and i run everything on linux, in docker, proxied by Nginx proxy manager. but typically prefer stuff that works more or less out of the box.

Thanks all!

Im using the ansible matrix playbook with synapse for 3 users and a bunch of bridges. I choose this because I used to setup my docker container and everything myself up but i absolutely dont want any downtime on my communications just because a config is not perfectly setup. If im out and about i want to still be reached. The playbook makes it really simple and takes care of everything i want. Even things like sliding sync are setup with one line added to the config. https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

This is the way! I also have a synapse with this ansible playboy up and running and it works like a charm.
