We’re the tilde.fun collective, a small group of admins providing services for the public. Everyone can register an SSH account (currently with a mail to the admins, we also have a currently unused ssh registration script) and we provide the following services:
- code.tilde.fun – code hosting (gitea)
- chat.tilde.fun – [matrix] server
- wiki.tilde.fun – wiki mainly focused on sysadmin, development and Free software
It’s nice but it would be better if you self hosted XMPP since it’s fairly lighter to selfhost, especially for individuals and small communities. Matrix seems made for and by enterprises
We already host Matrix and it suits our purposes. The resource usage has gone down a lot since Synapse is being refactored for scalability and performance. I’d wager that if Dendrite ever sees the light of day, it wouldn’t be much more resource intensive than prosody.
I installed dendrite via docker on my 13 year old laptop… 2gb of RAM, 2 core CPU. Worked perfectly. Synapse was a push, but if they ever get dendrite up it’ll be amazing. Is there a list anywhere of what software you are running? I always enjoyed the message boards on the cli, and things like botany on those shared shells, but I haven’t bothered with them since I got my own vps. Might be nice to be social again.
I’m super excited for dendrite.
We ran a few of those services but nobody used them. Currently, it’s mostly SSH and web services. If you want something hosted, just ping an admin in matrix or via mail and we’ll try to get it up and running ASAP.
