My friends are open to leaving Discord which has finally given me a reason to look into Element/Matrix. I found the install instructions and am immediately put off. Is this it? No official docker compose? 😞

    Forget about synapse and the “official” method. Install Continuwuity a matrix server written in rust, much much more efficient than synapse.

    I took some notes while installing it here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=matrix%3Aconduwuit

    I didn’t use docker but directly installation is very easy, it’s a single executable.

      I’ll look into it, thanks.

      I’m still in the information gathering phase. Do you know if the element client works with the continuwuity server? Is it as easy as entering the domain, user, and password in the client?

        Any client should be compatible with any server, if both are fairly up to date. Though, I never found a client nor server that are actually fully feature complete. The closest to that are synapse and element
