I just set it up today. The docker setup was pretty easy and I got the telegram and WhatsApp bridge running so I have all my messages in one place. Signal bridge is next.

Is anyone else doing this?

    I used to do it, but not anymore as it was kind of clunky in my case. But I used dendrite as the matrix server rather than Synapse, so that’s most likely the reason.

    I ended up moving the database on a separate host rather than using SQLite, and it added way too much latency to the whole system. Storage was also a big issue in my case, as all media received by the bridges are stored locally, and boy does it grow fast in my case haha.

    When dendrite reaches a more mature state, I’ll 100% do it again though !

      I’ll have to look out for the media storage issue. Do you know of any way to clean it up periodically?

        You have a parameter to delete media not used since a period of time.

        Look for the keyword ‘media_retention’ in the configuration page.

        The same logic exist for rooms messages, I’m currently testing these setting for my own server (mainly used to replace my discord reporting bots using webhook)
