|
## Context
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We need a target host for the Conduit homeserver. Options:
|
||
|
|
- Existing Hermes VPS (`143.198.27.163`)
|
||
|
|
- Timmy-Home bare metal
|
||
|
|
- New cloud droplet (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, etc.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Decision
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the **existing Hermes VPS** as the initial host, with a future option to migrate to a dedicated Matrix VPS if load demands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Consequences
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Positive | Negative |
|
||
|
|
|----------|----------|
|
||
|
|
| Zero additional hosting cost | Shared resource pool with Gitea + wizard gateways |
|
||
|
|
| Known operational state (backups, monitoring) | Single point of failure for multiple services |
|
||
|
|
| Simplified network posture | May need to upgrade VPS if federation traffic grows |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Migration Trigger
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If Matrix active users exceed ~50 or federation traffic causes >60% sustained CPU, migrate to a dedicated VPS. The Docker Compose scaffold makes this a data-directory copy.
