Does anyone have any experience in successfully self-hosting Signal server using docker?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Thanks all for your response. I gave up on Signal and installing Matrix server instead.

    Signal is not a federated protocol, though. I guess you can run that server code. But it won’t connect you to your friends and people on the regular Signal network. (Plus you’d also need to build a custom version of the client/app.) I’m a bit unsure whether OP is aware of that.

      I actually don’t want to run it on regular signal network. Just want to self-host it on my home server, and allow home devices to use it to communicate via tailscale.

      Basically my own private signal network that my devices connected to.

        I self host NTFY instead. It’s not a chatbot but a hell of a lot easier to integrate devices into.

        You will also have to recompile the official apps with the new domain/IP. And then keeping both updated. That’s too much work. I’d rather self-host Matrix without federation. Or XMPP.
