  • Matrix servers have the problem of highly variable resource use.

    Basically if you only use it for some light chatting with friends and family and some niche topic public rooms it isn’t very heavy.

    But if any user of your homeserver joins any busy rooms or uses the bridges to join busy public Telegram channels or such, it will quickly outgrow the resources of a reasonably priced VPS.

    Personally I would rather recommend you to set up an xmpp server, which can include a gateway to Matrix and other services, but architecturally is much more lightweight and has better mobile clients.


  • Cool. I am currently using the OVH dyndns option and it is a bit annoying that you have to update each sub-domain individually and can’t just tell OVH to update all subdomains to the same new IP via a wildcard.

    Is that something your script could do?

    Also it seems like the OVH dyndns API currently only does either IPv4 or IPv6 but not both the same time.

    Edit: Ah I see you plan to allow creating sub-domains through it. I guess that would indirectly solve my issue as well.
