That's why I am so happy that I switched to Matrix - selfhosted with Signal and WhatsApp Bridges(amongst others) and now I only need to keep one App on our mobiles, Notebooks,desktop,etc. but I can still communicate with everyone. (we have have a few mixed groups now)
Your post encouraged me to self host Matrix ^^ That'll be a nice project for the next rainy day
I self-hosted it few months ago, and it's actually surprisingly easy! Someone has made an Ansible script for Matrix with Element and some bridges, that (at least a month ago, IaaC tends to be pretty fragile) worked out of the box on a first try. I just set up some config values (mostly about enabling bridges I want) based on their amazing documentation, and then ran it once and everything is working so far. I even updated it several times already, and every time it was smooth, and it was basically just running a single ansible command. Their documentation is pretty well written, and with my basic cloud, IT and Linux knowledge I had no issues with following it. All you need to know is how to set up cloud VM, get a domain and set DNS, and set up SSH keys to access the server.
In total it took me about two hours in total, from when I decided "I'm setting up Matrix tonight" without any prior knowledge, looking up my options and finding the ansible script, setting up cloud and getting Matrix up and running.
I'm renting a VM on Hetzner for like 6$ per month, and it worked without issues so far. I use it for Discord and Messenger, although the Meta bridge does have some problems, for example I didn't figure out how to message someone with whom I haven't had a conversation since I set up the bridge, since only then it creates the room for it. But that can be solved by keeping the Messenger app or usign the browser to send a first message, and it immediately shows in your Matrix bridge (and stays there forever).
Thank you for sharing your setup, this kind of information is always extremely valuable <3
Thanks,welcome to the club! It can be a bit "tricky" at times (and I use a container manager,cloudron, meanwhile as I got too deep into the rabbit hole and now host too many things to maintain them myself) but once you get it set up it's rock solid.
And I am really optimistic for Element X/Matrix 2.0.
It's a great standard.
Gonna repeat what I said to Mikina - Thank you for sharing your setup, this kind of information is always extremely valuable <3
I can switch to Matrix and talk to the two other users on this platform! Can't wait!
Yeah, 115 Million users atm. And as I said - you can easily bridge it to other services so you only use Matrix but communicate with others.
I'll give you a little anecdote. I joined a casual server on Matrix recently. Two minutes into the conversation, it turns out the person I was talking to is installing some Linux stuff and watching an episode of classic Doctor Who. That's two of my biggest interests right there that we immediately connected over. If there are only two users on Matrix, they're the only two I need.
I think the vast majority of people are more interested in talking to people they know in real life.
bingo. if my irl peeps would use it i'd switch in a heartbeat; as it is i have trouble convincing them to install an ad blocker, let alone set up a whole new account on a new app.
