I run my own matrix server, too. I’ve never had any issues with updates. Honestly, I just pull the new docker image without thinking twice about it. It is risky, of course, but I have daily automated backups, so I’m not too concerned. Personally, I felt like setting up a matrix server for the first time was the biggest pain in the butt. It’s extremely convoluted with very poorly written documentation that is often outdated or incomplete. After I got through that, it was smooth-sailing from there. Setting up mautrix bridges one you got Synapse to work is actually really easy, though.
I don’t even really plan to use any bridges, as I understand it those are for if you want to pass messages from other services through your matrix server. I would rather keep those separate personally, even though I understand certain benefits, including having all your messaging in one application instead of numerous.
When a bridge works like the discord and the Signal and WhatsApp ones it’s amazing not to need to log in to those services anymore just to see if someone wrote something to you.
Sadly most of the bridges are either broken like the Facebook one or straight out don’t work like she KakaoTalk and WeeChat ones because the services remove capabilities which before made it possible in a hacky way.
