I want to like matrix, but I had to give up my homeserver. For reasons that are unclear to me I was added to the matrix.org homeserver blacklist, with no communication on why or response to my asking why.

Eventually I noticed some issue with the database, it having grown many hundreds of GB (something about my users being stuck in matrix.org rooms that they're blacklisted from, I guess) so I rm -rf'd it and that's that. :\


Could it be that your needs would be covered by XMPP? You can run that on a RPi in a shoebox.


Probably, yeah, though I'm not familiar with the ecosystem yet. It seems like ejabberd is written in erlang, which is promising.

I highly recommend ejabberd: it's one of the easiest server software I ever had to sysadmin. It's rock-solid and never gets in your way. It also packs everything you need for modern instant messaging and audio/video calls. Install it, open few firewall ports, define some DNS SRV records, and you are good to go.

I mean, ejabberd is what WhatsApp and FB Messenger started from :-)


I'm a bit confused why so many models seem to focus on text-to-audio.. what use is an mp3 in a composition? I just need the notation. One could take an avant garde approach and find ways to make use of the audio outputs, but that doesn't necessarily serve "normal" music.


One can only assume they have decided their market is people who want to type some stuff in and then pat themselves on the back for "composing". It's all accompanied by ballyhoo about "democratizing music production".... which happened in the late nineties when you could run a DAW on a home machine.

This has nothing more to do with democratizing music production then audio to text has to do with democratizing writing a novel!
