matrix-docker-ansible-deploy VS Element

I did the same except federated and it's pretty easy if you have some experience with Ansible and Docker. This repo has a great Ansible playbook that will set up the whole thing for you on whatever VM or VPS you point it at:

Check out https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/

As some others have said, matrix is great at this.

I use this ansible playbook to set it all up: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy it supports slack and discord too.

You can also use beeper which is hosted if you don't want to self host. They employ one of the major bridge Devs so they know what they're doing.

There's also element one from the Devs of matrix but they don't support all services you're looking for.

Exactly yeah, I used this bridge with this playbook

Check the ansible instructions first: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/tree/master

matrix-docker-ansible-deploy looks like a good way to go.

You could maybe check out this URL about setting up Oracle free tier but it could be outdated. I just recommend using the Matrix Ansible Playbook

I installed my home server via the ansible playbook, gave myself admin privileges and then enabled the api in the playbook. The playbook sets up the server with a reverse proxy and im geting an error 'NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource' when i enter in my credentials.

With your instance running, you can now use Matrix clients [that support registration tokens] like Element or Nheko to register your user, login and have fun!

> Maybe also what’s easier to convert your friends and family to.

You will need to pick a client that you can recommend to your friends and family, because they likely won't bother to look one up. If they are non-technical, then the client is what matters most for them and you need to decide what makes the most sense given their circumstances.

On the matrix side I can recommend Element (https://element.io/) which has a lot of eye candy. I'm not sure what to recommend for XMPP.

You also need to pick a server for them, because again, they won't bother to choose one themselves. If you can, host a XMPP or matrix server yourself!

If most of your audience doesn't use Discord, you're in a good spot. In the web dev world, so many projects use Discord that it's a massive benefit to just be in the server list with them. I felt my project had to use Discord.

It's been a while since I investigated solutions, but I really wanted Matrix to be viable at the time. I would check out https://element.io/ and see if it works for you.

I'm just happy they resisted the buyout by Microsoft.

> Matrix looks really close, but it needs ALOT of love.

Matrix is just a protocol. Clients competing with Discord would be things like Element. https://element.io/

It's no Discord (which itself is no WLM, by the way), but I sorely hope it or something open source gets there one day.

I made an account in Cinny using my Github account. I am trying to migrate my account into element.io. How do I do this? Forgot password is not even an option in Cinny.

Element is an open-source instant messaging client built on the Matrix protocol, offering users features such as end-to-end encryption, file sharing, and voice/video calls. The self-hosted version accommodates up to 200 users at no charge, providing a budget-saving secure and collaborative communication platform. perthguppy describes it as a "slack style team chat."
