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.

[–] AzuleBlade@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago

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.

Why not?

[–] SJ0@lemmy.fbxl.net 1 points 3 years ago

I'm cheap.

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 3 years 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 3 years 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 3 years ago

No it's not possible...

[–] orhtej3@latte.isnot.coffee 7 points 3 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] AzuleBlade@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years 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.

[–] u_tamtam@programming.dev 5 points 3 years ago

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

[–] majestictechie@lemmy.fosshost.com 5 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 children)

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?

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 3 years ago

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

[–] ssorbom@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years 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.
