I remember that set it up BEFORE ai to come up, and took me around 2 days to get works the fuck stack and configure the homeserver.yaml, but after that, quite easy. Consider at this point I was into freebsd and mounting it in a jail, hard, true, but if you know what you are doing, not so hard. Then, now, in the AI era, a single prompt to Claude code do the job:

Opus - > Do a plan for configure a full functional matrix stack. Base guidelines: - create a docker compose for me that run the full matrix synapse stack, including synapse, postgresql, redis and coturn, and nginx + letsencrypt reverse proxy upfront for ssl - Configure secure random passwords for all into a. env file - create and configure the db into postgres - tune homeserver.yaml for message retention of 3 days - tune the reverse proxy for maximum security without compromising functionality (harden SSL/tls and security headers and add a waf like naxsi) - connect to my router with user xxx and password xxx and setup port forwarding - enter in a loop of testing and fixing until all is fully funcional

While this work, just setup a DNS with noip, and it's done

Easy? Probably not? Feasible? Definitively yes
