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.

@sheepfreak oh be careful with SQLite and synapse. SQLite is more ment for test deployments, you’ll have to migrate to Postgres sooner than later if you want to use it for longer

I know, but thanks for the warning. :) Right now it's just something I'm playing around with, and I haven't decided yet what I'll do with the server or whether I'll even keep it. Migrating to Postgres is always an option anyway, it only takes a few lines in the compose file. :)
