Same here. Just ended up rolling my own solution from the great open source out there.

Good call, I'm working on that project this weekend for myself. I grabbed this resource from Beeper's landing page: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy Is that what you're using?

  No, but that's interesting. I manually setup Docker containers for Mautrix bridges alongside my Docker container for Synapse. Thinking I might switch to this though for less maintenance, that's a very nice find!

    The ansible workbook is great (I use it for my matrix homeserver). I've bridged multiple chat apps into matrix and things just work. But Beeper is a better client for this usecase. It has better UX for a all-in-one chat app - single button to turn bridges ON and OFF, a great client with filters, search (in all chats), etc. So unless you want run your own servers, beeper is a better choice (ems[1] is also an option) [1] https://element.io/matrix-services https://element.io/matrix-services

      EMS doesn't give me an option for bridges though, right?

        I haven't started using EMs yet (only researching it), but they do state that they support bridging: https://element.io/matrix-services/ems-pricing https://element.io/matrix-services/ems-pricing EDIT: Oops, i should have also clarified that the free account does *NOT* seem to include bridges...but the paid accounts do for an additional nominal cost (honestly seems a fair price): https://element.io/personal-plans https://element.io/personal-plans

      Both beeper/element get laggy if you have way too many chat's. Wish Beeper would let me have a blacklist/whitelist option so i could only use it for a subset of my more actively used chats, vs trying to connect to absolutely everything.
