My own private Matrix server is running!

I set up Synapse via Docker (alongside Navidrome, OpenCloud, Gitea and others) on my homeserver (my old notebook running Debian stable headless), still using SQLite instead of PostgreSQL for now.

No additional port (8448) needed to open, everything runs cleanly over port 443.

So far everything works: encryption, voice messages, stickers, location, image and video attachments, and joining public rooms (e.g. #linux-de:tchncs.de).

As clients I use Element on PC and FluffyChat on Android.
