I know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?
Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.
This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it’s been a very nice endeavor.
I got a new job, and the group chat is on WhatsApp, so I’m looking into running a Synapse server with a bridge to it. I really don’t want to have to use Meta’s apps on my phone.
From what I’ve read so far, it seems like it’s going to be the most convoluted install process I’ll have encountered in my self-hosting journey. I’m excited to tackle it, but also a bit overwhelmed. Which is why I’ve been putting it off :P
It was a huge pita to get it running, but I have it.
One thing about the WA bridge is that element won’t let me give display names or look up the contact number, so the people in chatting with don’t have names, just “their number (WA)”
Try conduwuit instead of Synapse if you get stuck. For me, it was really simple to install and the dev is really nice.
Holy crap, you’re me. Except I plan on using slidge-whatsapp.
