What is in your opinion the better matrix server software for self-hosting, Construct, Conduit or Dendrite (or even something completely different)?

    I’m still running Synapse. Could I migrate this to Dendrite or others? Or would I have to just re-install and lose all messages…

    So far, Conduit is the only answer for me, since I don’t own any quantum supercomputers.

      I got a 4 CPU / 24Gb RAM Ubuntu 22.04 ARM VPS running on Oracle’s “always free” tier. The Synapse and Postgres containers are using about 2% CPU and 1.2Gb of RAM combined. If your strapped for resources, check them out.

        with 1.16G i can run dendrite and iceshrimp (+redis and +sonic, shared caddy and postgres between both). i wouldn’t call synapse the “strapped for resources” server.

      Do you have any issues with Spaces rooms not loading on yours or federated homeservers? I tried reinstalling a couple times and could never get them to load in Element, so I ended up just spinning up Synapse which has been working fine.

    I’ve just deployed a Synapse container to work with matrix/Element, only because that’s what the guide I was using suggested. Is there any benefit to switching?

      Dendrite is supposed to be lighter on resources than Synapse, but I have no evidence other than dev claims. I had no performance issues when running Synapse a couple years ago.

    I’m running synapse just fine on an old ThinkPad. Doesn’t seem to be terrible on resources. I also have my lemmy instance on the same laptop and don’t have any issues with resources.

    I am surprised so few people are mentioned conduit here. Last I checked, it was running at only 500 MB of RAM. I don’t have any app services installed though, and I’m the only user on my instance.
