Hi how hard is it for a complete beginner to setup a nonfederated synapse server at hardware at home? I am looking for a FOSS solution for a selfhosted messenger for family and friends to stay away from the corporations and governments and people recommend mostly either xmpp or matrix but the guides seem too complicated( Can you share the guide(s) that you’ve followed?
I wonder how does this even works out in simple terms, like if a dev finds out that their creds have been stolen and published they would know that their system is compromised, so they have to reinstall the whole system locally? If they just change the password the worm is still rhere so it will steal the new password as well. But even if they would reinstall the whole system the worm is still somewhere there in the repo and will find it’s way back again, so what are the mitigations in such a case?
After watching Luke Smith I’ve got an impression that docker and containerization is not a way to go, but maybe would be good for a start
