Self-Hosted Matrix Server on Raspberry Pi 5: Migrating 1,456 Chats
For nearly five years, Beeper kept almost all my messaging in one inbox. Then came its fight with Apple, the acquisition by Automattic, and an escalating corporate feud. I decided to take control. This is how I migrated 1,456 chats to a self-hosted Synapse server on a Raspberry Pi 5, complete with five bridges, monitoring, and tested backups.

RE: https://marius.blog/self-hosted-matrix-raspberry-pi/
After five years of routing almost all my messaging through Beeper, I moved out.
I migrated 1,456 chats to my own Matrix server, running Synapse, Coturn, five bridges, monitoring, and regularly tested backups on a Raspberry Pi 5.
I documented the migration and published a sanitized version of my setup.
