Anyone run a matrix server in the cloud? How much does it cost you?
-
ooh! how do we bridge to matrix from xmpp server?
-
It basicallly allows you to remote control an existing Matrix account on a remote homeserver. Works quite well.
-
Better mobile clients? Have things changed this much in the least three years?
-
Be careful. My disk usage is well over 8gb after bridging my WhatsApp and telegram chats...
In the clouds I would be worried about storage costs.
-
How is the user experience compared to matrix? Is it easy to gateway towards matrix or other services? Can I easily join matrix or other communities servers?
I see a lot of people are now using matrix but not so many xmpp, but yeah it hoggs resources on my server too. Also I feel like it's still pretty buggy..

Link doesn't work
-
Works here
-
Xmpp itself works great. The slidge.im bridges are relatively new and your mileage will vary. Matrix, Discord and Telegram works ok, Signal & Facebook messenger have issues right now, WhatsApp is a bit tricky to set up properly.
-
Matrix mobile clients got worse, yes
Otherwise not really. Three years ago Conversations was quite good already, although the newer forks Cheogram and Monocles added some nice convenience features.
-
Since you seem happy : Any recommendations for VPS provider ?
-
Hm, I never really liked Conversations and decided to end xmpp for good. Maybe I need to give it another try but I really like some Matrix features.
-
I'm with netcup.com and I've been happy. But some people complained their support isn't the best and sometimes doesn't answer. I'm not sure about the details as I've never needed support.

Works now for me!

Love Lowend. Just grabbed this deal from massiveGRID. Never heard of them, but I took a chance;
4 Shared Intel Xeon CPU vCores 8 RAM DDR4 ECC Registered (GB) 256 Primary High Availability SSD Storage (GB) 20 TB Guaranteed Internet Traffic 1 IP AddressesI paid $141.28 for 3 years, and replied on their forum post for Lowend and they added 1 extra year of service for free, and activated lifetime pricing. So it works out to be about $2.95/mo which is a damn great price. The only real drawbacks are the network is 1 Gbps shared** and no IPv6.
**speedtest;
[root@dev ~]$ speedtest --secure Retrieving speedtest.net configuration... Testing from Massivegrid (xx.xx.xx.xx)... Retrieving speedtest.net server list... Selecting best server based on ping... Hosted by Wnet (New York, NY) [0.09 km]: 2.429 ms Testing download speed................................................................................ Download: 1028.91 Mbit/s Testing upload speed...................................................................................................... Upload: 997.58 Mbit/sSo not absolutely mindblowing, but you seem to get the full 1 Gbps, which is great. Super happy so far.

I upvoted your comment but man I wouldn’t even take a freebie from Oracle. Just an absolutely rotten company and Larry Ellison is one of the worst humans on the planet.

I found snikket to be quite decent, give it a whirl.

I think for matrix to be usable in a homelab setting, Matrix needs to enable a way to handle these huge data storage with prune or something similar.
