  Excuse me, I prefer the term: ‘diminished gluteal syndrome’.

  Sorry for the later reply, was working (oops, not really). From what I read, Stoat is just a rename of Revolt and the platform should really remain the same (when I had this up, some of the UI still read Revolt).

  For the bloat, as a self-hoster (speaking for myself and not on the behalf of anyone else), you should try to be provided with the most direct solution to a specific issue. When looking at Stoat, and the output of the generate_config.sh, they basically shove down a whole lot of solution at one time. There’s from what I can tell, 15 different configurations for containers, over half of them are static versions and who knows how they all intermingle between the configs. This produces a monstrous web of configuration that I really have no time to digest and get working for something I’m just ‘playing around with’. All this and I didn’t even attempt to integrate voice and video. Also (as a nitpick) requires you to spin up caddy but has a config to point to that to a different reverse-proxy if needed (I already had nginx proxy manager and got this working but the whole thing fails if you don’t spin up caddy. insert sad horse noises).

  This is where Continuwuity comes in, I have 4 containers that I have bespoke configured myself by reading the configs and 2 config files that I hand made based off the docs. I feel WAYYYY better at hosting this than Stoat. Even got the wife to help test the video and voice and it works great with Element.

  I have hosted Synapse before and got it up and running but not with voice and video. IMO, it’s a little bloaty as well (not nearly as bad as Stoat) but it’s doable. Never attempted voice and video for this but again, Continuwuity is just much more straightforward and less overhead.

  It’s hard being the popular kid. Thanks for the update!

  That github looks like a fork of the original code. I never heard of fluxer so I can’t really trust it since I’ve only ever heard people gathering opinions rather than reviews, a fork even less so. So for my honest opinion, it’s a no for me since it seems like a very round about way to onboard anyone who wants to self-host.

  Since we’re here, I’ve tried giving stoat.chat a go and got it semi-working but the way they have the project set up, there’s a lot of optional “bloat” that gets tacked on from the build.

  What I had success with, was Continuwuity. Their docs were so good, I was not only able to set up chat but also new and legacy voice and video under 4 hours.

  I’ve seen this posted several times and this is the second time I’ve tried to access their self-hosting docs and get a 404. Where’s everyone going for installation instructions?

  Testing Opencloud docker myself but still having troubles with getting it working with my NAS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How could you do this to me?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the reply. I did post something to their feedback service but they haven’t reached out yet. I’m honestly not fussed because this gets me to jump into FOSS with both feet. Looking forward to donating money to people who care rather than spending it on a license for those who only desire more than their fair share.

  I just upgraded my hardware and when booting Windows back up, I got the error that basically says “Your license no longer works, you need to buy a new one”. I’m happy to say that I’ll be using Bazzite as my main driver for now on.
