self-host VS dendrite

Beeper already advertises the self-hosting route: https://github.com/beeper/self-host

I am attempting to set up a self-hosted matrix chat platform (Beeper). It is currently hosted on a digitalocean droplet running Ubuntu 22.1.

I've been following the self-hosted guide on https://github.com/beeper/self-host and aside from using a different host than Digital Ocean, everything is going well up until 14. iii.

You can also self-host this solution: https://github.com/beeper/self-host ... A little technical but if you check this sub, many people have it working locally.

For self-host instructions - - No Beeper account: https://github.com/beeper/self-host - With Beeper account: https://github.com/beeper/bridge-manager

Would anyone be interested in adding Viber to Beeper? I'm stuck with Viber because my work uses it. I generally use Telegram, WhatsApp & Dms, and everything Beeper offers: https://www.beeper.com/, but it doesn't have Viber. Posting this here in hopes of any dev wanting to host Viber there and posting a how-to help clear my phone's clutter :D https://github.com/beeper/self-host I am not sure if it's even possible. This would help my phones' clutter and the constant window shifting.

Matrix already has key-based identity in the works at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/keg... (and implemented in Dendrite at https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3A...). Matrix is set up to let folks go wild and change fundamentals like this; basically every Matrix Spec Change (MSC) is a small fork, which then gets merged into the main spec if it can be proven to work well in the wild.

I really hope that Dendrite is getting more traction and maybe there's an OIDC solution for Matrix one day.

Yes there is an official helm chart. https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/releases/tag/helm-dendrite-0.11.2

This is what the Matrix team is developing Dendrite for. To have a feature-complete yet small server software. But it's still in beta.

Pinecone, which is an experimental overlay routing protocol used by P2P Matrix. It and Dendrite are extremely important to P2P Matrix.

So I want to setup an instance of Dendrite, a matrix home server. I have a docker-compose set, the yaml file in the correct directory, but I do not understand how to generate the key files. the dockerhub states that I should use this:

Dendrite, meanwhile, can be found here. They say it's in beta. I think it's a late Alpha. Dendrite's primary mode is "Monolith"; this will have many of the same scalability/balancing options that Synapse does. However the true benefit to Dendrite as I see it is the "polylith" mode where workers can swap around which worker is the master without any interruption of service. I do not think that Dendrite polylith works yet, but I might be wrong. I'll be looking at running it on a test server in January to see if it's time to upgrade from Synapse (and time to invest in 4-6 SBCs to keep three here and send 3 to 3 of my buddies to make my Matrix even more reliable).
