Hi there,
I would like to host my own Synapse server, but I am not sure where to start.
I would like to be able to use Nginx Proxy Manager as the reverse proxy and I’ve read that you can use example.eu for the username, while actually using a subdomain like matrix.example.eu?
Is there some good documentation out there and what would people recommend? I would like to run it in a container on Proxmox, but Docker could also be an option?
@poVoq @sxan I have a 200MB/mo data connection, and my XMPP client (Cheogram) is barely a blip. The main driver of data usage with it is when my family is sending around 0.5MB images to each other.
@poVoq @sxan Also, I used to maintain a matrix client in Debian, as well as self-hosting synapse. I went back to XMPP.
@Andres4NY @poVoq @sxan The main problem with xmpp is that depends on your phone you are not sure you will receive messages because android and iOS kill the xmpp app.
@leodavinci @poVoq @sxan I can’t speak to iOS, but at least on android that’s not a problem as long as you grant it the proper permissions.
M@[email protected] @poVoq @sxan After convincing some friends to install the client Conversations in Android, they finally gave up for this problem. They have Xiaomi phones and if they don’t receive a message in one day, the OS closes the client and they don’t receive messages anymore after they open the app again. Even with push notifications enabled in Conversations.
That problem has made me look alternatives like matrix. But, its more difficult to host a matrix server than a xmpp server…
