Welp. I've spent two hours trying to install a Matrix homeserver. I've tried droplets. I've tried it manually. I've used Debian and Ubuntu. I've consulted multiple guides.
This, every time:
>Job for matrix-synapse.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
>See "systemctl status matrix-synapse.service" and "journalctl -xeu matrix-synapse.service" for details.
*Shrugs* I can't let this consume my entire day. Maybe I'll just run the space using matrix.org 😢
lol. Haven't tried Matrix, but I've tried setting up NextCloud before.
I wish projects would look at #syncthing for inspiration.
Now there is a project that is just brain-dead simple to implement.
Just run the commands to add their apt repo, apt-get install it, run it from a cron job, and the rest is managed from the web interface. Stupid simple, and it has its own great NAT-traversing relays to keep all of your devices connected without having to use something like #tailscale.
@rl_dane @killyourfm Nextcloud has come a long way. They offer an official all-in-one image nowadays.
@thedoctor @rl_dane Yea, I managed to install Nextcloud on a Hetzner VPS and ran it successfully for more than a year. That was exponentially easier than Matrix!
Nice!
I want to host my own Immich, but they don't support 32-bit raspberry pi os.
So, I think I'm going to buy a used mini PC to replace my RasPi. I could just as easily nuke and pave the 32-bit Raspbian with 64, but a faster CPU would be nice.
How does it compare to something like Yunohost?
