Since I recently set up a decently powerful homelab, with a bunch of services running on docker behind traefik, I thought it would have been cool to try out selfhosting a matrix homeserver for personal use (at the beginning it will be just me, potentially it will extend to some friends and/or a small organization of around 20 people working together). At first I was thinking about going with Dendrite, but then I’ve seen it still doesn’t support Threads, nor Matrix 1.5 API and that despite the announcement of a couple of months ago its repo hasn’t yet be moved to the new element-hq GitHub as it happened with Synapse. This made it seem kinda like a “2nd class citizen” compared to Synapse, and therefore made me think if the latter would have been a better option to selfhost. And then I bumped into Conduit.rs so now I have 3 option to be undecided about!
Therefore, here I am asking for your preferences and advices: which is your favourite one / which one would you recommend for my use-case?
Unless a server/bridge implements the spec incorrectly, any bridge should work on any server, as they all talk using the appservice API.
That said, Synapse is the safe option, and for personal/family and friend use, the resource inefficiency is not that big a deal.
