I've been interested in doing this, but I can't tell why I need to login to Beeper in order to self host. I noticed their previous self-host solution did not require that.
Because of that login step, I decided to look into this other repo which uses Ansible to deploy a Matrix homeserver and the same bridges that Beeper uses. I haven't finished it yet since there's a lot of config and choices to make, but it seems like it'll serve the same end goal.
Edit: lol, maybe if I read the intro, I'll get my answer.
Still might go with the second option so that I don't rely on their cloud services.
That's a cool solution! I'd be interested in making a nix flake to do something similar to that Ansible project. Thanks for linking!!
Been trying to read through to understand and see how all this is supposed to work, I guess it's so you can use beeper app and infra and APIs to talk to your matrix server and the encryption/decryption/handshake happens here between matrix and beeper and then send to their servers for delivery and all that portion.
