I setup my synapse about 6 months ago, and it was not easy to get the bridges working. I would argue I’m pretty technically sound but getting everything running took a lot of trial and error. If the bridges deployed easier like a snap package, it would help a ton.

What bridges were you using? I've set up several and the hardest part was reading through the default configurations.

I’m running a WhatsApp and signal bridge, I use everything through Docker. The biggest issue was registering the bridge to work with synapse. If everything fails, you need to delete specific folders in your volume and it gets messy. I also have a Postgres image running that isn’t as obvious how to set up from the docs.

There's an amazing Ansible playbook. Use that, it's great and easy to keep everything up to date.

Yeah sorry I was on mobile when I wrote that so I didn't have it to hand.
