@weirdo_from_space A valid scenario.
As I see it, a non-federated matrix-server is functional the same as a non-federated XMPP server.
If you have a limited number of users, I think that conduit (matrix) or movim (XMPP) in a docker VM somewhere are the most easy options now.
Just try it and see what you like best. https://conduit.rs/ https://github.com/movim/movim
Note: I actually home-hosts a conduit instance on a pi4 inside a FreeBSD jail
@weirdo_from_space
Keep in mind, a service like discord or slack does two things: user management (identification, password resets, .. ) and a discussion platform (including providing moderation tools, etc.).
Depending on your usecase and the number of users, either the first or the latter is the most work.
Also, a discussion forum is not the same as a communication platform (like matrix or xmpp). Both have different requirements and pose different questions (like 'do I need federation?')
@weirdo_from_space
Perhaps the first question should.be, what exactly do you want to do?
Replicate a discord server on a local matrix-server?
Do you want / need matrix federation? Is it a server just for you and your group just by itseld, or do you also want to host users who can then also connect to other remote matrix-servers?
That are two different use-cases.
@kristoff@infosec.pub I will be giving a workshop hacking radio-signals at #hackover 2023 in #hannover
The exact timeslot is not yet known, but it will be during the weekend of 14 to 16 July.
See the thread on infosec.pub (lemmy instance) for more info and information how to join.
This workshop is on the border between #infosec and #hamradio #rfhacking

Let us know how it went, ok?

@weirdo_from_space
How many users do you have?
Do you want to host the users too or just the conference rooms?
