Setting up a matrix server on an ec2 took a few evenings (lots of reading docs). Then, setting up discord was supposed to be more configuration… Element has hosted instances for 10$/month and discord bridges for 20$/month? Does anyone else run hosted matrix instances with bridges? I might pay 10$/month for that. Or, are there AMI instances for that? I couldn’t find any.

I found the Ansible playbook [1] on GitHub extremely easy to use. As long as you know how to configure DNS records and firewalls, the rest is taken care of. This is what I use today to manage my Synapse server. Also Oracle Cloud offers free ARM instances with 4 CPU cores and 24 GB of RAM, more than enough to run a very speedy Synapse server.

  It's also important to read the docs for that ansible playbook, know what certbot does, setup the nginx proxy accordingly or remove the nginx proxy. Maybe I should have done this on a mint machine.
