Overview

Matrix Synapse VPS

Matrix is an open standard for secure, decentralised communication, and Synapse is its reference homeserver. Running it on a Linux VPS gives your team or community private, federated, end-to-end-encrypted chat.

With full root you deploy Synapse with PostgreSQL, add SSL and a client like Element, and connect to the wider Matrix network or stay private.
