#tuwunel — Public Fediverse posts

Claude Code came in clutch yet again for me. I needed a local maintenance script that would do three things: 1. Backup Tuwunel's database on a regular schedule. 2. Purge remote media after 30 days. 3. Purge local media after 60 days. The thing I discovered about Tuwunel is that it's Docker container essentially is just one Rust-based binary, and if it's running, you can't invoke it using traditional Docker commands as it would essentially try to run a second instance of Tuwunel. That causes a clash with Tuwunel's database, which essentially is locked by the first instance while running. Claude's solution: It helped me write a bash script that logs into the server as my admin account and uses the Matrix API to send commands to my server's admin room that invokes the maintenance tasks needed to keep the database backed up and purges media on the schedule I set. So now I have a cron job that fires on a schedule that runs the script, it does its thing and Tuwunel stays happy, healthy and backed up without consuming all the storage space on the VPS it runs on. #Claude #AI #Tuwunel #Matrix #BashScripts #Maintenance

Ich hab mir mal jetzt den [m] #Matrix #Server #Tuwunel installiert. Mal sehen, was das Teil kann…
Hat das schon mal jemand unter #YunoHost installiert und weiß wie man das mit dem Video und Audio konfigurieren kann?
Ich brauche eine Antwort dringend bis Sonntag, damit ich am #DID auch wieder was zu tun habe :mastolol:

После блокировки мессенджеров Matrix стал единственной альтернативой?

Как известно, в РФ почти полностью заблокировали WhatsApp* (принадлежит запрещённой организации), а будущая работа Telegram под вопросом. Звонков уже не осталось, только текстовые сообщения, передача файлов тормозит. Судя по всему, начался шейпинг трафика. А если эффективен шейпинг, то сработает и полная блокировка, которую планируют в первых числах апреля, по слухам от РБК . У нас остаётся всё меньше рабочих способов общения. Если отбросить совсем странные варианты вроде Google Docs или Max , то самая оптимальная альтернатива — это опенсорсные мессенджеры, такие как XMPP (Jabber) и Matrix/Element. Для максимальной надёжности такого общения в федеративной сети желательно поднять свой собственный сервер. Это можно сделать на домашнем сервере или VPS. Тема актуальна в том числе для закрытых сообществ, которые раньше общались в группах Telegram, WhatsApp* (принадлежит запрещённой организации) и Viber. Родственники, корпоративные рабочие команды, домовые чаты, игровые сообщества и др. Теперь их можно перенести в Matrix/Element на своём сервере.

The setup process (using #Tuwunel) really isn't bad, but it's very much not designed for declarative setup. There's a lot of back-and-forth between the terminal and the client copying YAMLs - yuck.

Resource consumption is very acceptable for my use case.

After having to request a special build that automigrates my db back to version 17, we can now proudly say we have switched to tuwunel ​:TherianTransgender:​ #tuwunel

RE: https://kitsunet.net/notes/aj4f0n88vx6a00ib

Just migrated my #Matrix server from #Tuwunel to #Continuwuity, the latter of which is hosted outside of GitHub.

Very happy to have moved over, especially with such a seamless transition!

Fellow homelabbers, if i want to selfhost a Matrix Homeserver for max. 10 people (mainly family) what homeserver software should i use? The software should run on a small VPS with 2GB Ram and 60GB Storage. Working Voice Chat is essential for the kids while gaming.

Would you go with a full blown Synapse install or would you go with something like Continuwuity, Tuwunel or something completely different?

Yesterday, I got invited into a #matrix chatroom for the first time. (I have a #tuwunel server and #fluffychat client)

Talking uniquely about text messages, I think Matrix could replace many #chat apps:
- Facebook #messenger
- #telegram
- #whatsapp
- etc.

But only if you don't use voice, video and screen sharing too much. I haven't tried them, but I've heard some people saying it's not good enough yet even though some features might already exist.

I guess it really depends on your needs, but I don't think it's good enough to replace #discord yet.

We would need at least voice chats to work nicely. You can still use #mumble but there's no way to have a one app that truly does everything yet.

Looks like #synapse is moving #minio way. All that mess with the server components, versions, and lack of documentation on all of that forces me to look into an alternative. Well, they are writing docs right now, but mostly for enterprise.

I found the #tuwunel documentation very friendly. Thinking about migration.

@Rusty I've really liked #tuwunel so far, was pretty easy to set up and light on resources

On the 27th November I emailed [email protected] asking if my accounts could be manually removed from their chat rooms. Despite not running a #matrix chat server for over a year, and returning a "410 permanently gone" status, I was still getting constantly spammed by several thousand servers. I resorted to using fail2ban and blocking them for weeks at a time. This all arose because I had had several attempts at setting up Synapse, which in a tribute to bad documentation and my incompetence, I'd failed.

Anyway, I have just received a reply, 2½ months later, suggesting I email the [email protected] address. Great. That's what I call support!!!

Ironically, since November I've have had another go at setting up Matrix - this time succesfully - using #tuwunel (née conduwit). This was so I could join the #GoToSocial rooms. However, I'm going nowhere near any of the big chat rooms on matrix.org. Matrix appears to adopt the "Hotel California" philosophy.

I tried to install #matrix #synapse and decided to give up for now.

It seems like it is a common pain in the community, and I can agree.

Now, in my case, I'm self hosting using #yunohost because I value simplicity. Whenever, I try to install it, it is painfully long, gives me errors, fails and uninstalls everything.

Just like Linux, if self-hosting is overly complex, I'm not interested.

For now, I'll stick to Matrix #tuwunel . It doesn't give me voice chat and screen sharing, but text chat works. That's gonna be good enough for now.

That being said, we will need a decent free and open source #foss alternative to #discord asap

My current #matrix server uses #tuwunel , which is a lightweight version of matrix. With the default #yunohost installation, I don't think it has voice chat and screensharing. And so far, I only used the #fluffychat client.

The real full-featured version is #synapse . I wanna try hosting it myself and see if it can actually replace #discord with the Element client.

I just installed #matrix through #tuwunel and created account

Do people use this as an alternative to #discord ?

I see that I can chat and federate, but do I need VoIP for voice calls?

Ich sollte meinen CorpoStack (bzw. neuer Name wird vermutlich KMU!Suite) mal flott machen, dass ich ihn zum nächsten Digital Independence Day präsentieren kann.
im Anhang ein Screenshot. Ich schreibe hier mal die alternativen hin:

- Jira + Confluence -> #OpenProject
- Github + GH-Actions -> #forgejo + #WoodpeckerCI
- Outlook -> #Mailcow and #Sogomail
- Slack -> #Tuwunel + #CinnyApp
- Zoom -> #Jitsi
- Chrome Passwörter ->#Vaulwarden
- Google Drive -> #Nextcloud (mit OnlyOffice ) + Paperless-NGX + #Etherpad
(Etherpad ist eigentlich nur drin, weil Jitsi und Nextcloud nicht so gehen, wie ich es wollte.

Dann noch #Keycloack um Nutzer zu verwalten und #EspoCRM für Kunden. Achja und natürlich #Dashy für das Dashboard.

@regendans

Does Tuwunel work with ElementX (aka has sliding sync etc)? Does it work with video calls? Is it actively maintained?

I love the idea of a lighter weight Matrix server, but am mainly worried that it wouldn't support the basic features we need (eg video calls) or that it would fall behind SYnapse on some necessary stuff (although we don't care about stuff like spaces, threads etc).

Edit: der Matrix Server ist dann doch #Tuwunel geworden und als Webclients sind #Cinny und #Fluffychat instaliert

Was braucht man denn sonst noch so?

Hi! #Matrix Admin/User here. The only thing that is a little bit annoying to me: You can not really delete users (on synapse server), because of dependencies. It keeps somewhere in the DB and the name is not useable anymore. For tests use not the production 😊
What I really love is the easy #OIDC setup. Meanwhile there is also #tuwunel (a matrix Server) which has a lot of packages for different Distros, but I have not tried it yet.

¿Algune de les aquí presentes ha desplegado/probado #Tuwunel como servidor Matrix?

Soy consciente de que el protocolo tiene más agujeros de funcionamiento y seguridad que un emmental y también de sus orígenes israelíes, por no hablar de cómo se está financiando su desarrollo.

Pero parte de las críticas están relacionadas específicamente con Synapse (servidor) y Element (cliente), y tengo interés en cómo cambia (con suerte a mejor) la experiencia empleando implementaciones alternativas.

Además, si la alternativa es seguir utilizando Telegram y Discord para grupos privados con diferentes temas, apaga y vámonos.

What on *earth* is happening in the #tuwunel unofficial #matrix room? It's completely underwater with spam like I've never seen.
