Matrix Homeserver Sliding Sync
-
@lukas There is no ETA . AFAIK, the whole thing is still unstable. Even the routes are called unstable - https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync/tree/main#same-hostname . If you just want to play with the idea, it looks like this can be launched in a separate VM or equivalent, not sure. I have to say there is not a whole lot of information other than that github page.
I also don't quite understand why it is totally separate from synapse. Should this not be just a part of synapse? Sync is like so basic... why would it be running in a separate domain, somewhere else. I think it will help us make some design decisions (for packaging) based on what the answers to these questions are.

@r369 said in Matrix Homeserver Sliding Sync:
it was ages since it was out
Not really. It's hasn't hit 1.0 yet and is still considered unstable afaict. It's not yet a standard part of Matrix.

Still not v1
However I stumbled across these instructions for self-hosting in case anyone is interested. -
This is now production ready, see https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/12515/element-x-call-and-server-suite-are-production-ready

@jdaviescoates not yet features complete and still with many bugs and issues thought

@girish all sounds very promising indeed.
I just went to see if I can now connect to my Cloudron Matrix using Element X... the QR Code login thing at least doesn't seem to have been implemented on Cloudron yet:
And trying to login in manually doesn't seem to work yet either:
Hopefully in the coming months such things will begin to work? Do we know what we're waiting for? I guess maybe for 2.0 to actually release and packaged?
