This gave me confidence as well, thank you 😆

I mean the whole machine. Unless I cage it to the floor

If someone nicks it, can’t they just use boltcutters? Could hide the drive under the floorboards theoretically

I used to try and compile from source first. Was good experience. Don’t see why I should bother now, though 🤣

update: It’s all working perfectly!

Ah, that goes on my main server. I’m learning.

It seems to be it’s own operating system. Will this screw up my setup?

Ok now it’s asking me to serve a “.well_known” file like… How?

How do I restart synapse…

Pressed enough buttons and it worked

I want to self host.

I mainly want matrix for the bridges.

CLI familiarity is fine. CD, Nano, mkdir, rm. I am proficient with that. But I am not necessarily proficient with Docker (went with it because it worked nicely for another thing which was well documented and very straight forward). It’s just I’m trying to self host stuff. Some things like Wordpress and Immich are straightforward. Some things aren’t like Matrix and Mastodon. Lemmy is also notoriously bad.

This is the second thing I’m running on docker

The step tells you to remove it after at least

I do agree, manies have I found documentation saying “make a fresh install of Raspbian” as if I’m using the computer for this single issue

(Disclaimer: I am not running matrix on a Raspberry Pi)

I still have to sort out having a different server name to the access name so I can use the domain as well. Do I just put a field into the config like the rest? Can it go anywhere?

Is there a story attached to no. 2?

Because everyone told me to

So basically WinRAR

Use this. It’s finnicky but works for me. You have to start the download on one device, then pause it, copy the command to your file server, then run it. It’s slow and you can only do one at the time, but it’s enough to leave it idling
