I know about matrix bridges, but I'm sorry to say they're a pipe dream.
First of all I would have to manage them myself, which is a pain and costs money.
Secondly, anything could break at any time: the vps provider, the domain provider, the matrix server, the bridges themselves could go unmaintained or suddenly not be compatible anymore.
It's truly a flaky hack, and in truth you shouldn't need a flaky hack to send a photo to your uncle using whatsapp
- sa1 4y agoBeeper[1] is an app hosting these matrix bridges for you. 1: https://www.beeper.com/ https://www.beeper.com/
- 0x38B 4y agoThere's matrix-docker-ansible-deploy (1), an Ansible Playbook that makes setting up a Matrix homeserver and bridges easier. But it's still a pain, like you said. I ran one for a while (with bridges for Skype, Instagram DM, etc), but decided it was too much work and deleted it. 1: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
