    Do you mind if I ask how you set up your own matrix instance? What software did you use? Are you hosted in the cloud or a home lab type setup? Sorry for so many questions but I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now

      I followed an old and possibly outdated video guide.

      I don’t very limited Holman stuff, but I was able to buy my first domain, vps, and host this all for the first time in about a solid day of work.

      I’m guessing if I had to redo it I could possibly do it a bit faster.

      Sorry in advance I don’t have a link to the video, but it was done by the guy who is the main guy behind it or the main guy behind element.

      I would also recommend the Matrix-Docker-Ansible-Deploy playbook for setting up a Matrix server. It supports Synapse (the “mainline” server implementation), Conduit, and Dendrite as the actual homeserver backend.

      It does take a while to go through the sheer number of options they have available, but it makes it incredibly easy to spin up a Matrix server, as well as update one. I haven’t setup any bridges with it, but its nice to know that it also supports a great deal of them, and can just be toggled on through the playbook settings.

      The documentation is also fantastic, and there’s a massive community in case you run into any trouble with it.
