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? ๐Ÿ˜ž

I saw you recommend Continuwuity on other posts as well. Was just wondering, what made you choose Continuwuity over Tuwunel?

I am asking because I used to host a Continuwuity Matrix Server until a year ago. Recently started to look into hosting a Matrix server once again and found that Tuwunel seems currently ahead of Continuwuity in regards to WebRTC (Element Call) implementation and the sliding sync thingy.

At least they have updated documentation when it comes to WebRTC and how to set it up.

I also installed tuwunnel after conduwuit death. Moved to Continuwuity because of the community vs corporate sponsorship.

I don't keep an eye on who is ahead, but I want to be sure I don't have to migrate in the future so I don't care for development speed, rather continued support and what if tuwunnel company money runs out?
