If that’s hard, good luck with synapse then.

Continuwuity… Don’t use synapse, too bloated.

Continuwuity was never discontinued, the note was for Conduwuit, I forgot to remove it after updated the article.

Yes need to fix that wording its a leftover, done.

I also installed tuwunnel after conduwuit death. Moved to Continuwuity because of the community vs corporate sponsorship.

I don’t keep an eye on who is ahead, but I want to be sure I don’t have to migrate in the future so I don’t care for development speed, rather continued support and what if tuwunnel company money runs out?

Yes both element and elementx and actually any matrix client. That’s the beauty of having standards

But its a pain because all clients from matrix. Org will push you to matrix. Org and need manual taps&clicks to select a different server when you sign up the first time. A bit annoying IMHO and maybe even fraudolent.

That is undisclosed but check the github page, last time I did, it was a one person job and he clearly wrote he got corporate money t do that

Tuwunnel is a corporate-sponsored successor to Conduwuit.

I prefer Continuwuity which is a non for profit successor to Conduwuit.

Beside this, they are probably mostly the same

Forget about synapse and the “official” method. Install Continuwuity a matrix server written in rust, much much more efficient than synapse.

I took some notes while installing it here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=matrix%3Aconduwuit

I didn’t use docker but directly installation is very easy, it’s a single executable.

Set a custom private DNS with your dns

DOH goes over port 443 using https, impossible to block (unless you want to blacklist all possible URLs that might serve DNS) so cannot be redirected at network level, like with classic DNS, and uses SSL encryption so cannot be “sniffed” and redirected.

In other words: say goodbye to ad blockers based on DNS like pihole or adguard

While it seems good for your privacy, it’s a dream for Google and such, where PiHoles and such DNS blockers will be useless…

For now yes but the very specifics of DNS over https make that impossible if enforced one day.

I removed health checks because o think they don’t work properly with podman how I use it, but I might be wrong.

Anyway, glad it helped! That’s the spirit why I wrote it.

Actually I am behind CGNAT so when away I connect to my VPS that has a nginx pointing to a wireguard endpoint to the internal server. Wireguard is also managed by opnSense but that’s a choice, not mandatory.

When home, my VPS ip gets rerouted on port 443 (and 80, mandatory for let’s encrypt) to the internal ip of my server.

Going the split DNS way is doable but had other issues (android devices bypassing local DNS for example or DNS over HTTPS issues)

I set up my opnSense to redorect all internal traffic to the external IP on port 443 to my internal server ip.

Works fine, it’s transparent, and doesn’t mess with DNS.

I run TA with success since many months. It’s fast and responsive, so I guess it’s an issue with your setup?

The metadata bridge to jellyfin alfo works pretty nice, I have no complaints…

You can check my notes at https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Atubearchivist

But be advised I am on rootless podman with docker compose

Absutely Endurain. Wanderer has a different focus.

You want endurain I believe.

Its under heavy development but its also quite stable and capable.

Don’t give up your Garmin watch, just don’t install the garmin app on your phone and download raw data from it like you already do.

I would suggest to go with home assistant. I have been running it for couple of years now and I am very happy.

I would also suggest to purchase a Home Assistant Green. While not needed, you can self install on a Pi or a standard pc, it’s a small price to support the project and the Green is a nice solid and super stable piece of hardware, I am very happy with it after using first an old laptop, and then a Pi. The green is a clear upgrade from both.

To be honest it’s mostly FUD. Self host email is perfectly doable provided that:

• you don’t use your home IP
• you do DNS records correctly
• you do DKIM & DMARC correctly
• you don’t send spam

What happened to me over the years was having the subnet my ip was is being associated to spammers, and that was a problem. It took several iterations with blacklists and my provider to get it sorted. That’s why I recommend using a reputable service provider that take care of spammers in a timely manner.

Yes, I migrated IP (from one provided to another) last year, and I recently added a new domain as well.

The new domain on the new ip just works, and the old domain on the same new ip just keep working.

Both the old and new ip are not residential IPs, I rent a small dedicated server for this purpose on the major hoster of my country. I pay about 15€/month for that, but it’s not only used for email, for all my services.
