Self hosting SimpleX Chat server (lemmy.world)

Hi guys, I love this community. I am a total amateur but I self host stuff like Vaultwarden, Plex and Joplin.

I’ve been looking at SimpleX Chat and thinking about hosting a server for personal use on my synology using either Docker or Portainer. Anyone have experience with this or know of a tutorial or guide? I’ve been looking around but the GitHub site I found seemed complicated.

Thanks 🙏

I'm running it with docker and don't remember anything more complicated than docker-compose and forwarding a port.

Assuming you already have a dynamic DNS set up.

If hosting on a Stno may I ask why not use Syno's chat app? Its very polished and runs great!

I haven’t tried it, but I might give it a go sometime. I’m happy with SimpleX Chat for now. Only issue is of course to get others using it, which is basically impossible. A lot of people have adopted Signal which is great, but I don’t like that it is centralized.
