Do your chats look like this? Do you always forget which contacts use which apps? Do you wish there was a way to have all your chats in just one place?

In the following guide I’m going to show you how to use Matrix to achieve your dream of an all-in-one chat app, by using Matrix bridges and securing the connection with Cloudflare Tunnels.

    if you are bad at technology (like me) there’s an app called beeper which does this for you. I’m sure it comes with some caveats, though.

    One needs to note that not all matrix bridges offer E2EE options yet. But anw, that shouldn’t deter anyone from testing and using these.

      Surely it could be done with tailscale/headscale, or just a VPN connection? Unless I’m misunderstanding how the OP is using cloudflare tunnels

        You could implement plenty of ways to access it, Cloudflare is just one of them. I made this guide to achieve the goal of self-hosting matrix bridges for people who are already familiar with Cloudflare and have a domain behind it, but it’s not something that is mandatory to have for a similar setup.

        Cloudflare Tunnels are useful to connect to the server without exposing your ssh port to the internet, and Cloudflare Workers to add .well-known files for federation and Sliding Sync proxy if you don’t have a way to serve those files easily.

        Yeah, I was wondering if the goal of the article (using bridges) is available without federation and having it open to the internet…

          You can totally skip federation and you won’t be able to use matrix users or join public rooms, but I guess it’s something that some people don’t need.

      I wish I could escape it because of privacy concerns, but I’m finding it too convenient to let it go. Would appreciate it if someone could convince me out of it
