Setting up unbound

It is recommended to set up a local DNS resolver, such as unbound. This will drastically improve DNS performance, and will as such improve the speed at which your server can federate with other servers.

Sharing with others

You may want to share your server with other people you know, or even run a collection of public rooms and/or services. I'll briefly detail how to do this correctly here.

Continuwuity should not be used for public servers!

Currently, Continuwuity is not suitable for public, open-registration servers. It lacks appropriate abuse prevention features, and moderation tooling, making it easy to abuse and hard to moderate if a malicious actor can get a hold of it.

You should only create accounts for people you know and trust.

Setting up client mirrors

You may want to run your own copies of clients, like Element and Cinny.

Setting up a moderation bot

If you plan on running public rooms, you will need to set up a moderation bot, such as Meowlnir or Draupnir.

You can bridge platforms like Discord, Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram, IRC, and more to Matrix.
