My friends are open to leaving Discord which has finally given me a reason to look into Element/Matrix. I found the install instructions and am immediately put off. Is this it? No official docker compose? 😞

Forget about synapse and the “official” method. Install Continuwuity a matrix server written in rust, much much more efficient than synapse.
I took some notes while installing it here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=matrix%3Aconduwuit
I didn’t use docker but directly installation is very easy, it’s a single executable.
You are recommending to follow your wiki article but it claims to not use it?
Now I don’t know what to believe.
Yes need to fix that wording its a leftover, done.
They picked it up again?
Continuwuity was never discontinued, the note was for Conduwuit, I forgot to remove it after updated the article.
I’ll look into it, thanks.
I’m still in the information gathering phase. Do you know if the element client works with the continuwuity server? Is it as easy as entering the domain, user, and password in the client?
Yes both element and elementx and actually any matrix client. That’s the beauty of having standards
But its a pain because all clients from matrix. Org will push you to matrix. Org and need manual taps&clicks to select a different server when you sign up the first time. A bit annoying IMHO and maybe even fraudolent.
Any client should be compatible with any server, if both are fairly up to date. Though, I never found a client nor server that are actually fully feature complete. The closest to that are synapse and element
