Really glad to see these discussions happening.
I started creating a similar post for matrix/element/server installs - a while back,
Screenshots and saving putty sessions.. (wondering if I should find a tool that records ssh input/output or just use the save sessions built in)..
I've succeeded with a matrix server install 2 out of 6 tries.
I am about to try again with a new install since I don't have faith in succeeding a multi-version upgrade.
I wish there was an easy way to export user names and email addys to port to a new install, as I worry that making a new install could allow for some nefarious people to come in and create accounts with another old user's name.
I love matrix and element and other clients, it's the best for what many need - although there are many rough spots in using it both server side and as an end user.
Moderation usability is a major issue for us, maybe with a new install I will jump into that rabbit hole of how to set things up for that and see if it's easier these days.
I hope the vucuum DB and such is better with the newer versions.
Looking forward to scouring the web for tutorials on all the basic things debian and perhaps logging the journey, maybe just screenshots will be fine, we'll see.

Please do share more about your experiences, we're all ears and looking to learn and improve! BTW, on the moderation front: Draupnir is the most actively maintained tool in that space and I recommend checking it out. Separately, the Foundation is currently investing in developing better tooling to complement moderation bots like Draupnir. We don't have a planned release date, but what we're making will be FOSS and available to all to use. We're also looking to involve more technical writers to help us better support new users and homeserver admins – for sure, it's a rough road right now.
