My instance has 82GB of DB size. It is almost two years old. I think you’re overestimating.

So is he self hosting her or what?

I will. I was asking from CPU power and price perspective though.

I’m using Headscale for work and Tailscale for personal use. I tried to use Nebula but it’s not easy as Tailscale.

Why should I use JuiceFS instead of rclone though?

Unfortunately, I feel the same. As I observed from the commenters here, self-hosting that won’t break seems very expensive and laborious.

Yeah I really like the “parent backup” strategy from @hperrin@lemmy.world :) This way it costs much less.

Pretty solid backup strategy :) I like it.

It’s quite robust, but it looks like everything will be destroyed when your server room burns down :)

Can we use group meeting in self hosted version?

Yes, you can shoot me from there and you’re right but I don’t see much difference between Matrix clients. The experience is pretty common between them. Synapse is de facto standard.

I don’t think XMPP is simpler than Matrix. With my insufficient knowledge; XMPP servers and clients have different standards. Some supports audio/video calls, some requires encryption while other maybe not etc.

Matrix has a standard set of features and all software around it built for those features. TBH I find Matrix pretty instable lately tho.

“Ubuntu added on top” you mean Snap? No thanks :)

You need to pass host header. But if you really want to hide your IP, you need to proxy your outgoing activities too.

Thank you for the suggestions. I just created an account on jabber.hot-chilli.net and downloaded Gajim. It looks really cool!

I’ve used Matrix for months and agree with most points. I would like to try XMPP but it is clear that it does not have the best onboarding experience.

The problem I’ve observed with XMPP as an outsider is the lack of a standard. Each server or client has its own supported features and I’m not sure which one to choose.

Which client would you recommend?

I’ve never used XMPP. Can someone compare it with Matrix?

It wasn’t but now it does I guess. I just searched a community didn’t existed locally on my instance and I got same result as you. No votes, no comments. I think this is enough to open an issue in the Lemmy repo.

You need to search them to make them available to your instance. You can also use lemmony or lemmy community seeder to automate it if you care enough.

It just making things easier and cleaner. When you remove a container, you know there is no leftover except mounted volumes. I like it.
