  • That’s also where your argument from before comes in, as I don’t use matrix. Never had an use for it, that’s where the conflict for me comes in not wanting to create an account on a platform I don’t personally use.

    Mattermost I will have an use for personally and with friends, while matrix for me is unnedded and overkill for my needs, that’s why I didn’t go with matrix, neither on an already established server, or self host it.


  • I feel like matrix is an overkill for something like this personally, because I wan’t to be motly only used for quick help with peple around the globe and matrix is more generally used to communicate with a huge amount of people around the globe.

    Main reason also why I didn’t go with matrix is because in my eyes it’s still inmature and requires a good amount of maintenance, for what I think of as a simply a quick and dirty server to quickly help people in a more real time setting.

    I don’t mind people not liking the fact that it’s a mattermost server and not wanting to sing up only for this community, it’s their choice after all.



  • Minimal, I have to force myself to check the servers for updates atleast once a week.

    Main problem for me is I automated podman and docker updates with their respective autoupdate mechanisms and use ntfy for push notifications so I know if a service stops working and I had an update recently on it that it’s an update issue.

    Also have uptime monitor wih uptime kuma to monitor state of my services to catch them not working before I do, also ntfy for push notifications.

    Also have grafana+prometheus seted up on my biggest server for monitoring and alerting with alertmanager+mail to get notifications on even more errors.

    So in general I only have to worry about occasional once every few months error and updates of the host system (debian).
