The Matrix.org network has great potential, but after years of dealing with glitches, slow performance, poor UX, and one too many failures, I’m done with it.
So, going from Mealie’s instructions, having to learn how to work with Docker, whatever underlying server you’re working with, and a database system is easy 2-5 minutes?
I agree with you, my main issue with Matrix is that it is a pain to self-host at the moment.
Isn’t everything a pain to selfhost?
Most things are super easy, like 2-5 minutes of set up and it’s running and working.
