I just set it up today. The docker setup was pretty easy and I got the telegram and WhatsApp bridge running so I have all my messages in one place. Signal bridge is next.
Is anyone else doing this?
I’ve installed it in the last few days. Got the Discord and WhatsApp bridge up and running. About to give the iMessage bridge a go. It’s been fairly smooth sailing so far!
For the whatsapp bridge, don’t you require a phone on 24/7?
Since Whatsapp added multi-client support this is AFAIK not needed anymore.
How recent is this? When I had a bridge running it would bug me about WhatsApp having been offline for 12 days, and to re-connect before 14 days pass
Is there anywhere I can go to learn about what exactly Matrix is?
It’s not exactly easy to find with via search engine thanks to the movie
I was looking at setting up one for the same reason, to have most of not all of my chat apps in the same place but I was only finding docs for the docker-ansible setup which isn’t really what I want. Can you share your docker-compose file or the docs you used to get everything setup?
Honestly I’d probably host my own Matrix if Conduit wasn’t still so behind on stuff. Like, I think they still don’t support spaces properly, right?
Even Dendrite feels far too heavy and that’s intended to be the “light” option compared to Synapse, which needs an entire server onto itself to have any kind of speed behind it.
Synapse really isn’t that bad unless you’re joining big rooms. I held off for ages because I thought it was a pig, but I have it running (along with a bunch of other stuff) just fine on a minimal VPS.
