Fair cop, sounds useful, and I have used it in the past for similar. I was however looking at it in the context of Selfhosted.
True, and I have good hopes for it, partly because of the adoption, you will however note the scale of your examples, basically it's an IT department project rather than a set and forget selfhosted container (I recognize there'll always be moderation to do). We shall see, I'm in no hurry.
I have, and am, selfhosting Matrix, and it isn't that big of a deal if you're someone that, you know , self hosts things. That is just outside of what most people can or are willing to do. That's totally fine, but finding a FOSS platform that will host a VoIP/video server for you and not try to monetize you is almost certainly going to be rare or short lived.
I see. I havent selfhosted any matrix servers yet, so i havent looked into it too much. But yeah its kind of an intimidating process to set these up when i look at the guides. I know that there are a few server implementations besides synapse that are mature and stable (and supposedly much more resource efficient) and they do support docker deployment. All of these including synapse can however be run on a raspberry pi so there isnt really any big requirements other than keeping it up to date and doing backups of your databases.
