Hi! I’ve done some research on self hosting Matrix for Matrix Bridges on a Raspberry Pi 5. Some people have said online that Matrix will be too beefy for an RPI due to large federated chatrooms and information. However, would it still be worthwhile installing just for my own bridges for social media, and maybe as a secure way for friends to interact?

Thanks in advance!

    Not that the raspberry pi is particularly low end anymore, but if you do want to run matrix on low end hardware you may want to avoid synapse as it is very resource heavy.

    There are a couple implementations that support bridges here

      Uhm, this is not very good advise, as the bridges especially often do not work well with non-Synapse homeserver implementations. And especially Conduit also has a very different way to setup appservices, so it becomes much harder to configure the bridges correctly.

        It might depend on the particular bridges, but all mautrix- bridges work great for me with conduit. In a way adding bridges to conduit is easier since it’s all done through the admin room on conduit.

          Oh, can you pm me (@cyber:sysrq.in)? I can’t get mautrix-telegram bridge working, it doesn’t respond to invites from rooms on other servers.
