I plan to host Conduit for my friends and family. Even if I invite absolutely everyone there would be no more than 50 users, max. But would it actually sustain and work, as it is not yet on 1.0 is a question. I do not want to host Synapse as I had bad time with it’s (lack of) garbage collecting. We do not plan to join very big rooms.

Most importantly, if you host it yourself, host is the usage (mostly disk) with how many users?

    Oh well, seems both reasonable. Maybe I should switch before the projects diverge too much. Conduwuit seems pretty active. Hope it stays that way.

    Do you happen to have a link where I can read the backstory myself? Thanks for the info anyways. Seems to be a good call.

      The author of the fork declares 100 percent compatibility with the original project’s database. As you move, the database structure will be changed (new fields will be added) to be compatible with the fork, but it will still also be compatible with the original project (which simply will not use these new fields).

      I used conduwuit for a long time and it seemed very stable. Now I don’t host my server anymore because my friend hosts his own server and lets me use it, so I have an account on his server.

        Ah, nice. Alright. Thanks again. I’ll see how I can do it. Unfortunately I’ve already set everything up, joined Rooms and connected a few bridges. I hope it doesn’t break. I’ll do a backup first. Seems reasonable and not that hard to upgrade.
