There seem to be plentiful options for text chat servers, so I'm curious for those that self-host their own, what their preferences & experiences have been with them.

Also those mentioned in the title were just a few examples, if you run something else, e.g. Revolt or Mattermost or something else less popular, would be interested in reading about it!

Mine just stopped working when not on the local network and I haven't had the energy to find out why and then to fix it and then to convince everyone I'd brought in that this time will be different

Never used it in LAN. Always used a VPS for this with a domain name, no DynDNS or similar.

How much does a vps cost running your matrix client? It can't be more than a couple bucks a month right?

I pay around 10โ‚ฌ per month. The VPS has more services than.just Synapse. Mastodon, Database, Immich, Nextcloud, gotify.... And a few more ๐Ÿ˜

I use the VPS 2000 from NetCup

I figured given that I'm on c/selfhosted that it probably wasn't only synapse just was curious about overhead.

I've got a little raid 5 8tb server under my desk that I just use locally to fuck around with/VPN back into my house/store larger backups on.

I'd never want to be using it to host anything like a website or service, so I'm always curious what the web hosters have and pay.

Mine only works on lan. The ddns checks out, but clients over the internet get nothing.

Maybe a problem with portforwarding ๐Ÿค”

I checked that too. It's just cursed.
