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.

What is in your opinion the better matrix server software for self-hosting, Construct, Conduit or Dendrite (or even something completely different)?

So far, Conduit is the only answer for me, since I don't own any quantum supercomputers.

I got a 4 CPU / 24Gb RAM Ubuntu 22.04 ARM VPS running on Oracle's "always free" tier. The Synapse and Postgres containers are using about 2% CPU and 1.2Gb of RAM combined. If your strapped for resources, check them out.

I'm still running Synapse. Could I migrate this to Dendrite or others? Or would I have to just re-install and lose all messages..

[–] morethanevil@lmy.mymte.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is no migration and you can not use the same (sub)domain for dendrite you use for synapse. It breaks the federation. If you use matrix.domain.com for synapse, you need to use another domain for dendrite.

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh too bad. I run it at h-y-p-e-r.space, so I'll just continue to use Synapse for now. Don't want to add a subdomain

[–] alteredEnvoy@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago

No it's not possible...

I'm running Dendrite, I expect the best compatibility as this is an official product.

[–] AzuleBlade@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Do you have any issues with Spaces rooms not loading on yours or federated homeservers? I tried reinstalling a couple times and could never get them to load in Element, so I ended up just spinning up Synapse which has been working fine.

I've just deployed a Synapse container to work with matrix/Element, only because that's what the guide I was using suggested. Is there any benefit to switching?

For me it's ejabberd, I gave up on Matrix, it was too stressful and expe/ansive to sysadmin.

[–] supes@lemmy.csupes.page 3 points 1 year ago

I'm running synapse just fine on an old ThinkPad. Doesn't seem to be terrible on resources. I also have my lemmy instance on the same laptop and don't have any issues with resources.

[–] Onurb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Synapse runs absolutely fine for me. But im only hosting for a few users

[–] ssorbom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I am surprised so few people are mentioned conduit here. Last I checked, it was running at only 500 MB of RAM. I don't have any app services installed though, and I'm the only user on my instance.
