There seem to be plentiful options for text chat servers, so I’m curious for those that self-host their own, what their preferences & experiences have been with them.
Also those mentioned in the title were just a few examples, if you run something else, e.g. Revolt or Mattermost or something else less popular, would be interested in reading about it!
Never used it in LAN. Always used a VPS for this with a domain name, no DynDNS or similar.
Mine only works on lan. The ddns checks out, but clients over the internet get nothing.
Maybe a problem with portforwarding 🤔
I checked that too. It’s just cursed.
How much does a vps cost running your matrix client? It can’t be more than a couple bucks a month right?
I pay around 10€ per month. The VPS has more services than.just Synapse. Mastodon, Database, Immich, Nextcloud, gotify… And a few more 😁
I use the VPS 2000 from NetCup
I figured given that I’m on c/selfhosted that it probably wasn’t only synapse just was curious about overhead.
I’ve got a little raid 5 8tb server under my desk that I just use locally to fuck around with/VPN back into my house/store larger backups on.
I’d never want to be using it to host anything like a website or service, so I’m always curious what the web hosters have and pay.
