brandneworldMatrix clients for decentralized messaging
Anyone know if there are go-to servers to use? Looking to try Matrix for a team of around 20 where client information can be shared privately
Are we talking about a company?
Element provides hosted and on-premise solutions for companies: element.io
Synapse is the server that’s normally used and can be installed pretty easily: matrix-org.github.io/synapse/…/installation.html
There’s a list of public servers here: joinmatrix.org/servers/
But be careful if it’s for a company, public servers might go down.
As frontend you can also use the Element clients or web interface, they are completely free.
Element | Secure collaboration and messaging
Element is a Matrix-based end-to-end encrypted messenger and secure collaboration app. It’s decentralised for digital sovereign self-hosting, or through a hosting service such as Element Matrix Services. Element operates on the open Matrix network to provide interoperability and easy connections.
No Windows server solutions? Synapse has Docker but I’ve had a hell of a time getting it up on my Win Server 2016 install.
I don’t think Windows server is officially supported by Synapse so Docker, WSL or a Linux VM are probably your only chances.
Thank you. I think in my (ill-educated, poorly framed) original question, I think I was seeing if there were recommendations from the list on joinmatrix.org/servers/ I see that some are green-lit for privacy while others aren't.
This team isn't enterprise level or anything and I'm just looking to elevate them from emails to, originally, Slack. They're not sharing state secrets or anything, but are inconsistent about sharing client information that while not necessarily directly identifiable, should be kept under a tighter lid than it currently is.
