I will set up your matrix synapse homeserver with element
I build and deploy scalable web apps, mobile apps and backend systems
About this Gig
Tired of juggling WhatsApp, Slack, Messenger, and Instagram separately or want full control over your chat data instead of paying for Slack/Discord? I'll deploy a working Matrix Synapse homeserver with a customized Element client, bridged to platforms you already use everything in one inbox, no forcing contacts to switch apps.
Great for teams wanting a private, self-hosted Slack/Discord alternative or individuals who just want WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram unified in one client.
What you get:
- Matrix Synapse installed and configured on your VPS/server
- Element client fully customized your branding, colors, and logo
- Mautrix bridges to WhatsApp, Slack, Messenger, and/or Instagram
- SSL, domain, and reverse proxy configuration
- Postgres database setup for real performance (not default SQLite)
- Federation configured to your preference open or fully private
Mautrix bridges are notoriously fiddly to set up and keep stable (session handling, re-auth flows, database quirks) most sysadmins won't touch this. I know where installs typically break, so you get a setup that stays working.

FAQ
Do I need to provide my own domain and server?
Yes. You'll need a VPS/server (DigitalOcean, AWS, etc.) and a registered domain. I handle all setup and configuration on infrastructure you provide. If you don't have these yet, message me first and I'll recommend a provider and specs that fit your needs.
Does the price include domain or hosting costs?
No. Domain registration/renewal (typically $10-20/year) and VPS hosting are billed to you directly by your registrar and host — these are ongoing costs separate from my one-time setup fee.
Is bridging WhatsApp/Instagram/Messenger guaranteed to work?
I set up the bridge correctly and get it connected during delivery, but WhatsApp and Meta bridges depend on QR-code login and Meta's own systems, which are outside my control. Occasionally a login needs to be redone — if that happens, I'll help you re-authenticate at no extra charge within your deli
Will my contacts know I'm using Matrix?
No. Bridged messages appear on their end exactly as normal WhatsApp/Slack/Messenger/Instagram messages — they don't need to install anything or know Matrix is involved. Only you see everything unified inside Element.
Can I self-host this fully privately, or does it need to be public/federated?
Both are supported. I can configure your homeserver as fully closed/private (no federation with the wider Matrix network) or open, depending on your preference — just let me know before I start.
Do you provide support after delivery?
Standard and Premium packages include 14 days of post-delivery support for setup-related issues. Basic doesn't include ongoing support, but I'm happy to answer quick questions after delivery.
Can you migrate an existing team from Slack/Discord to Matrix?
I can help set up bridges so your team can transition gradually rather than all at once, but full chat history migration isn't included by default — message me if you need that and I can scope it separately.
What information do you need from me to get started?
Server access (SSH credentials or a fresh VPS), your domain name, and which platforms you want bridged (WhatsApp, Slack, Messenger, Instagram). I'll send you a short checklist after you order.
