I've been running two matrix (synapse) instances for about 2 years and it's been pretty painless. My "personal" instance is hosted on a dedicated server running Ubuntu, and the package works just fine. The other one uses a slightly modified version of the code, and installing/updating it via pip is trivial. What part of the process did you find tedious ?
