I ran my own matrix home server, and it's been relatively painless. I use it daily, but just to chat with the research group I'm in, so not high traffic.

I'm using the smallest Debian Linode VPS with Postgres and the synapse apt packages and behind nginx. The occasional apt update/upgrade is all I've needed to do thus far.

I will say I find element/matrix UI confusing a lot of the time, so don't love it, but it's worked fine.
