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.
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.
