For a while, I was running a conduwuit server. Conduwuit has been abandoned, and I wanted to migrate my server to upstream Conduit.

Has anyone done this before? I'm using Docker Compose for Conduwuit.

tried searching but came up short... anyone know what's their message retention policy i.e. how long is chat history available for private, 1on1 chats?

Reminder to all Homeserver admins!

Personally, I've successfully setup the backend and frontend for my own HS which works great, meaning we're fully independent from the Matrix.org server. Documentation for the process is much improved compared to a few months ago.

Signal has a "Note to Self" option which basically lets you send texts to yourself for reminders, etc. Is there a way to do this with any of the various Matrix clients, and if so how?

New Matrix user, eager to dive in. What is your preferred method/website for finding interesting servers and rooms?

I am facing a really weird issue with Element Call on my Matrix Dendrite server. It seems that only the person initiating the call can unmute and use videochat. The recipient of the call cannot talk even when unmuted or show video when enabled.

Nothing in the Dendrite container logs shows anything out of the oridinary.

I am using a machine that is running Ubuntu 20.04 with Docker and CasaoOS. I use Cloudflare Tunnels for my Matrix server. The client devices are both Google Pixel 8s running GrapheneOS. All of the proper settings for the app should be enabled (unrestricted battery).

Here is a picture of what the recipient of the call's video looks like to the person who initialized the call again no audio is present from the recipient either.

On very rare occasions have I gotten audio and video to work for both memebers of the call. It is very inco

I was able to finally get sliding sync up and running with my dendrite server!

Element X and Schildichat next allow me to sign in with no "this server does not support sliding sync" error.

However these clients do not show my chats or rooms. If I try to create a room it will work but if I bavk out it will show a blank chat page.

If I go to the regular element client I can see the newly created chats from element x/schildi.

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: sliding sync now works it was an error in my compose file for the url! I needed it to be set to my matrix url and not my sliding sync url.

I am hosting a Dendrite homeserver. However, I'm not happy with the pace of development of the software and I'd like to switch to Synapse.
Is there a documented way to migrate the data (rooms, chat history, users) from Dendrite to Synapse? I've used matrix-docker-ansible-deploy to set it up.

firstly happy new year for all.

I need to start use Matrix to talk with my biggest friends and colleagues of my university, but i read is good not create an account on matrix.org and create an account in others public servers , to not centralize the matrix protocol. My question is if anyone has a good experience with others public servers, besides matrix.org. Any tip or advice?

I found this servers on joinmatrix with longstanding: https://tchncs.de/en/matrix | https://syscom.utwente.io/info/matrix/homeserver/ | https://matrix-help.envs.net/ | https://tedomum.net/service/matrix/ | https://rollenspiel.chat/ ...
