Hiya.
Because a certain country I’m a citizen of likes messing with international traffic, I’ve been increasingly aware of the fact web services can break here overnight. One of the things I’ve still yet to move somewhere more local (or at least have a reasonable backup plan) is messaging.
Matrix seems to be a decent enough replacement for Discord and Telegram in case things go south, but I’m a total brokie. What would be the be the least resource intensive server to put on a VPS in case I’ll need to do it, and would I lose out much in features (say, multiuser voice chats) if I were to use that least resource intensive server?
Cheers.
I host mine (for two users + WhatsApp bridge) on a 4gb 1vcpu vm. When I was using a smaller vm with only 2gb of ram it would hang frequently due to memory exhausting and swapping. I’m using a debian image, and the different components of matrix are containers.
