Love summit, glad to hear this welcome evolution.

What went wrong with telegram? Which error?

+1

What server are you hosting? Synapse probably.

I went conduwuit and was quite easy: https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=matrix%3Astart

Yes! Absolutely (* didn't check all existing bridges, so... Maybe not all of them)

This is my wiki, no Fb bridge, but telegram, WhatsApp, discord and signal bridges yes

https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=matrix%3Astart

Check the sidebar, its closed by default on mobile.

Conduwuit is actively developed and works pretty nice for me. Single user, but bridged to hundreds of telegram, WhatsApp and discord rooms. As well as a few matrix rooms too.

Feels like fud.

Matrix is a set of standards and governed by an open foundation https://matrix.org/foundation/about/

Also there are many different server implementations and its hard to believe they all send your data to some third entity. In other words, what is stated by that link is just plain false. Not to mention that today there are quite many clients as well and I find the bridge point a bit... Idiotic.

You are free to use matrix.org but makes way more sense to self host your instance, and maybe not even use Synapse but something more "modern" as server.

I started with an old and half-broken laptop. Keyboard war busted.

Worked fine for months, then choosed to upgrade because I started hosting jellyfin and the laptop was unable to transcode on the fly...

You are fine with whatever hardware you have lying around... You can always grow later

Keep an eye for energy consumption tough... Too old stuff might be less efficient running 24/7 depending on your kW/h cost.

Do you really need a container for Samba?

I see the benefits of containers, but a use would be overkill.

Then you have issues with telegram, because I sure get a confirmation code each time I login on a different device, on telegram...

Have you hidden or silenced telegram chat on telegram?

I use mautrix telegram (the python bridge) and just works fine.

What is the issue you are facing? Any errors? Why cannot you login? It worked at the first try for me.

Conduit is abandoned, use conduwuit. I self host it with many bridges with good success.

WebDAV is cool. You can access you files from tons of apps natively, specially on mobile.

I used to run a strip down Apache for that, but AList is much easier to run.

Linux From Scratch rulez!

Migrate from Nix to Linux From Scratch!

Authelia doesn't seems to follow the "free tier / paid tier" approach of other solutions, and doesn't seems to have a commercial company backing it. While i have nothing against monetizing your work, i tend to prefer solutions that don't rely on a commercial partner behind that could start an enshittification strategy sometime in the future or worse.

Authelia gave me a better feeling.

Of course, i might be completely wrong. And, as i wrote, i never tried other solutions before Authelia, which fitted my bill immediately.

No, I started with authelia it seemed to better fit my ethical choices.

Ease, any feedback is welcome. Pm me if you prefer.

Authelia.

Learn it, its worth while.

Nice and easy. I set it up on the server itself, no container.

See https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=selfhost%3Asso and https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Aauthelia

My pet project.

Mostly to remember what I did and why. But also help others, and offer a different view on the self host approach (Gentoo, no systemd, podman rootless... ).

And to have fun, mostly.
