A tool for running self-hosted bridges with the Beeper Matrix server. - beeper/bridge-manager
Is anybody self hosting Beeper bridges?
I’m still wary of privacy concerns, as they basically just have you log into every other service through their app (which as I understand is always going on in the closed source part of Beeper’s product).
The linked GitHub README also states that the benefit of hosting their bridge setup is basically “hosting Matrix hard” which I don’t necessarily believe.
I started using their Signal and WhatsApp bridges today, probably one of the easiest setups I ever did. You just run a Docker container for every bridge, and login to your Signal/WhatsApp account by chatting in the app with the Matrix bot it creates.
Literally takes like 5 minutes if you’ve used Docker before, and you don’t need a domain or forwarded ports or anything.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
