On: Show HN: Beeper – All Your Chats in One App

[zufallsheld]

I just installed matrix and bridges for telegram, slack and whatsapp using the linked ansible playbook. I used my own domain and a new cheap vps. this took me about an hour. I connected Element on my android phone to my new matrix server and now I have all chats in one app and on desktop. That is totally great and worked far better and easier than I imagined. Well done.

Thanks for leaving this comment saying that you were successful and it only took about an hour, otherwise I wouldn't have had much confidence in the scripts. It took me ~2 hours but I'm not as well versed in ansible. I'm finally off of Slack's awful electron app.

Any chance you can write down a little more tactical instructions on how you did this? I'd love to try this out, but am not super technical.

I really just followed the very good docs here: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/b...

Granted I'm very familiar with ansible but for someone not technical it should be doable, too.

Thanks for the reply! I'm going to give it a shot!

I am interested, but not sure of system requirements. What kind of resources does it use on your cheap VPS?

I use a hetzner cx21 with two CPUs and two GB RAM. So far it is performant enough.
