From what I read, using anything but Synapse requires to compromise on features/compatibility. I know this is not the dev’s fault, it’s from the way the Matrix spec evolve. Do you know of any resource regarding the current features/compatibility of tuwunel/conduwuit? I am particularly curious about:

• bridges
• element-call
• threads
• session verification (e.g. emoji comparison over federation)

Nice explanation =). I am not OP but I am curious about one point: you seem to have the reverse proxy on your homeserver, not on the VPS.

Is wireguard enough then to tunnel HTTPS traffic to your reverse proxy? Or do you need a more sophiscated tunnel (e.g. ngrok, boringproxy).

P.S. I actually assumed that your VPN entry point is a VPS with a public, static IP. Therefore I understood that your were talking about two servers: the home server with the reverse proxy and a VPS as wireguard entry point. Please correct if this is wrong.

I am not an expert, but I see that the Apache license has no copyleft.

Have you heard of Beeper?

I think Matrix has bridges to all these networks, except ActivityPub (it may, I just don’t know).

https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy makes it easy to deploy.

Not sure about the RAM limitation. If Synapse is too heavy, perhaps a different server (Dendrite?) will be light enough.

FairEmail is the best email app I’ve ever used.

qpdf is the best CLI tool that I have used to edit the structure of a PDF. I recommend it if you don’t require a GUI, and do not need to edit the content.
