System requirements for a Matrix server? (piefed.ca)

Unless I am blind or my search-fu is hugely failing me, I cannot for the life of me find any information on the recommended/minimum specs to self-host the matrix backend services. I'm trying to spin up a VM just to play around with it and see if I like it. Specifically, I'm looking at Synapse or Continuwuity. Any advice?

Looking for vCPUs, memory, storage.

Continuwuity... Don't use synapse, too bloated.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm eager to try out multiple things. Right now I'd settle for whichever I can get set up. The documentation for continuwuity is a little tough for me and my setup right now.

If that's hard, good luck with synapse then.

Welp, I got Synapse deployed before Continuwuity lol

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 1 points 23 hours ago

Thanks, I'll probably need it! I seem to be able to follow along a little bit better with Synapse at least, and there's more troubleshooting stuff out there for it I think because it's more widely used.

This. Its not that hard to setup.

I'm struggling a bit. I got the server up and text chat is working great, but the documentation for getting voice calls working is pretty hard to follow.

My searching around has failed to find a more step by step guide for modifying the gigantic sample continuwuity.toml file. It's so unwieldy, and it feels impossible to know if there are some additional settings that need to be configured that I'm simply missing due to the length of the file.

Any tips, tricks, or guides you're willing would be appreciated!

the call docs are being rewritten to reflect latest developments. Join the Matrix room for further help too, it's quite active these days
