A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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?

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

Not sure to be honest. I am going off the Slidge WhatsApp bridge for XMPP which AFAIK uses the same library as the Matrix bridge and Slidge definitely doesn't need a phone connected.

I used my matrix-whatsatpp bridge exclusively, but the bridge warned me that it would time out if my WhatsApp phone connection was inactive for more than two weeks. Maybe I should just try and see what happens anyway
