Having been on #Matrix for a long time, right now We're seeing a lot of creatures interested in self-hosing their own homeserves, We have a word of caution.

#Synapse is a demanding piece of software, not only being unusually heavy for a self-hosted chat software in its hardware demands, but it keeps needing to be actively maintained, this year already the homeserver We help out with experienced two new and exciting failure modes that needed to be addressed immediately.

With the main problem being not necessarily that the problems are very hard to deal with (though sometimes they are), but that it demands you to be ready to jump into action on a moment's notice, or else all your users can't actually use your instance and the longer it goes on the more you risk rooms getting permanently desynchronized.

We would advise to just offer help to an already existing homeserver instead, be that financial or maintenance wise, or band together with at least three other creatures who want to do sysadmin stuff for that, if you insist on self-hosting.
