self-host VS sydent

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.

GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects.

Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use.

For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in), try Matrix instead: https://matrix.org/

I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance.

Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... slowly improving.

I'm trying to change my account provider from "matrix.org" to whatever Element One needs, and for the life of me I just don't understand what values I have to put where to be able to log in. I tried `element.io`, which takes me to sso.element.io but this doesn't seem like the right thing (no credentials work as I expect.
