Backstory
Unredacted hosts a public and security focused Matrix server for you to chat securely and privately on the decentralized Matrix ecosystem. Matrix offers a lot, including a vast network of homeservers consisting of many communities and is often end-to-end encrypted by default.
To accomplish secure-by-default configuration, we utilize Ansible to deploy our service with the matrix-docker-ansible-deploy Ansible playbook allowing us a great deal of configurability. The service resides on a server that utilizes full disk encryption, along with common security standards and open source software. User attachments (encrypted by default) are stored on Wasabi’s S3 storage in the Netherlands for cheap, resilient and secure storage.
How do I sign up?
