  • Sadly it is not possible, but yea, beeper host their own matrix server which is the only server the client connects to. At least we can use all the bridges with our own matrix server.

    Edit: lol, that photo quality 🥲 it is a mail conversation with beeper:

    Me: I have a matrix homeserver and want to use beeper client with it, is that possible?

    Beeper: That is not possible at the moment.

    Me: Oh, what a bummer… But thank you very much for the fast reply! Is it planned that the client will work with selfhosted servers in the future, or is is it possible to selfhost a beeper-matrix-server?

    Beeper: No plans for it at the moment. And negative.

    So sad…



  • Matrix is a opensource, decentralized protocol for encrypted messaging. You can host your own server or use your server of choice (generally matrix.org server) and there are many clients for nearly all platforms (there are webapps as well)

    I personally have never tested beeper, so I can’t give you a reason review but I have an account at a friends matrix server. I mostly use element as the client, but there is as well fluffyChat which invests more in design and less in features.

    From what I heard, running the server yourself isn’t that trivial according to my friend, but I’m positive that you would work it out with some time

    The bridges beeper uses to interact with other services are opensource as well
