Synapse VS fosscord

Now, the Matrix Foundation has decided to use Rust to improve bits and pieces of their Gen 1 Home Server - Synapse. The server itself is still largely in Python though. That being said, some of the improvements to the performance of Synapse based home servers can partly be attributed to the usage of Rust.

Matrix Server

For synapse it's not possible (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7076). I don't know about the other server implementations

Issue "README claims you can run a "hot spare" synapse, which is incorrect #7076" points to "multi-master setups" in issue Shard master process. #6677 which continues in issue Shard master process. #7593.

Synapse has a docker image...https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docker

• Matrix (synapse) for LibreNMS

One of the main methods for adding redundancy to Synapse Matrix is workers, which you can read into here. On top of that, with simple scripting you can set two servers to run the same master Synapse, such that when one goes down, the other spins up, so that updates and such have extremely low downtime. I'm vaguely aware of there being more you can do being those steps as well but I haven't looked further into it.

Initially I started with Matrix-Synapse. The toughest part was figuring out how to setup a subdomain to host my matrix server on, while still being able to point users to the main domain when they sign-up. (@user:example.com instead of @user:matrix.example.com). Once I figured out how delegation worked with a reverse proxy I got it working and figured id try dendrite. Dendrite is the second generation matrix server written in Go and it I think its configuration is easier and its footprint is smaller than matrix-synapse. However since its still a work in progress and its in beta stages some features aren't implemented and there were a few hiccups that made me switch back to matrix-synapse. So when dendrite is good to go I'll definitely be switching to that.

Have you looked at https://fosscord.com ?

There's Fosscord which aims to be a FOSS Discord alternative. Otherwise go for Matrix, Mattermost or Rocketchat.

There's Fosscord, which is supposed to be a server and client compatible with Discord. Not sure how far along they are at this point though.

I wouldn't recommend Discord as it's mostly unencrypted and not self-hostable, but I really the the features and design of Discord. As an alternative (but sadly not yet releases) I would recommend Fosscord. It's mostly Discord with more features for server owner and encryption.

Check out FOSScord https://fosscord.com/ It’s still a WIP but their goal is to essentially clone discord but make it FOSS

There’s an open source alternative to Discord that’s apparently comparable with Discord servers. It’s called Fosscord.

Although not written in Rust, Fosscord would be a great self-hosted replacement to Discord. But it's currently in very early stages of development so not yet production ready.

- Fosscord, something thats trying to replicate Discord, open source (their client as of now is just Discord, I recommend) - Matrix, a decentralized federated chat network. - Guilded, owned by Roblox (known for horrendous moderation and support) but overall a good platform. - Telegram, requires a phone number (but takes VOIP), I've used it before. Definite hub for gore/scams but as long as you know what to avoid, it's alright

I believe you can do it with Fosscord but from my understanding it's not ready yet.
