Do your chats look like this? Do you always forget which contacts use which apps? Do you wish there was a way to have all your chats in just one place?

In the following guide I'm going to show you how to use Matrix to achieve your dream of an all-in-one chat app, by using Matrix bridges and securing the connection with Cloudflare Tunnels.

if you are bad at technology (like me) there's an app called beeper which does this for you. I'm sure it comes with some caveats, though.

Nice, is it completely FOSS and secure/trustworthy?

[–] kev@lemmy.kevhomeit.trade 4 points 1 year ago

Its not completely FOSS so be careful with what you send. We don't really know what's going on behind the scenes.

Yes! I mentioned it in the article and they have a self-hosting guide which to be honest, is not about hosting Beeper at all, but it's just a vars.yml template to host some matrix bridges. The template I provide in the article is based off of that.

You can't know what they do with your data, so I decided to self-host this alternative.

Ferdium does this and it's open-source. It supports Lemmy too. And you can even add your custom website.
