I have a separate VM setup just for matrix and use this Ansible playbook method: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
wow! that looks good, it also list bridges as sorted too. If this is the route i go, i will have to learn ansible (finally!) thanks.
I set up conduit recently after struggling with dendrite and it’s been great - the conduit matrix room is super supportive, too. Real lightweight - I have conduit and bridges for instagram, messenger, signal, and irc all running on the same cheap hetzner vm.
hmm.. i have conduit up now, but struggling with the requirements to expose port 8448 to the net. And it needs to be https but is responding as http. so somewhere there is some SSL termination happening, but not returning as encrypted. hmm....
Jump in the matrix room if you haven’t already - lots of good wisdom in there! I used Caddy which was real straightforward.
