Comment on Matrix hosting

I’m using etke.cc in Germany. It’s a relatively easy setup and the hosting is matrix dedicated. Payment is a bit odd through ko-fi but otherwise it has been solid. They don’t have element calling fully enabled, it’s a bit conservative. Admin is easy and staff are responsive.

Also using etke.cc. I bought my own vps and then gave them access and they set everything up. It was a lot cheaper this way. My VPS is 4 cores with 8gb of ram buy 4 cores and 4gb of ram would be enough. I also got the RTC add-on for $5 which enabled calls. Everything is working really well and I would recommend doing it this way.

If you have your own VPS anyway, there is the Matrix Ansible Playbook which makes the setup with docker containers very easy. But I also get the sentiment that you don’t want to tinker around all the time and just want stuff to work.
Kudos to you for using Matrix in the first place, I hope you can bring a lot of your friends and family to switch over to it. So far this has been the biggest hurdle on my journey 😅
