Hi there,

I’m hosting matrix for family use on a server at my place. The issue is my home is affected by internet and electricity outages - which we’re trying to fix. This means that there are frequent downtimes on the chat. I have a UPS but usually is not enough to power everything - router and server - for longer periods of time.

The internet downtime is easy to fix as my router supports fallback connection which I point to a mobile internet solution.

I’ve thought about moving everything to a VPS but then I’m a bit wary of privacy regarding the data there. There’s also the option of moving the server to a family member’s house but I want this this be last resort because that makes maintenance harder.

Anyone dealt with this issues and found a solution? Perhaps a fallback mechanism that temporarily hosts the sever on a VPS? :D

    Not necessarily. A bit of both I would say. My servers can run a few hours on the UPS but bellow a certain threshold it shuts my servers off safely. For most power outages that’s enough to keep things running.
