I am searching for a selfhosted and secure (end to end encryption) chat platform for my family (5-20 users), possibly one i can host on a raspi.

Is matrix a good choice, or should i try something else?

    They are very focused on development and therefore the documentation is a bit sparse (maybe).

    The truth is that it is not very complicated to install. It is simply to download the binary (it is statically compiled so it has no dependencies) place it in /usr/bin and execute it (the best is to create a user in the machine with the home in /var/lib/conduit and then launch it with systemd).

    Another option is to simply launch it with docker.

    In any case, if you have problems, comment it here and we will look to see what could be happening.
