I have been trying to figure out a way that my son can have a messaging account, that doesn’t track him and that we can limit who he has access to and who has access to him.
What are you thoughts on matrix for kids?
Are there any features available for that sort of control? I really only want him to be able to contact his family (and also indoctrinate him into matrix and open source young 😉)
Kindof a pain. I use the Docker container, but then run another Postgres server that it connects to. You also need a TURN server, but I use a hosted version, since it’s something that my family actually uses like twice a month. Oh, then you need a domain setup, I use Cloudflare to punch the whole into my home network…
Just thinking about it makes me tired. haha. But I did it all once, and now I just upgrade the Docker container every couple months. Been running smoothly for a few years now.
If you wanna chat about it, I’m on Matrix! lol. @phil [colon] kulak.us
