Matrix clients for decentralized messaging - Feddit

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.
