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.

        I had a quick look and seems there have been some projects packaging the Signal server for Docker… But the projects Google returns as results on the first page all seem to be abandoned. Seems this is a bit niche. Unfortunaltely I don’t have any good advice here. I run a Matrix server, so I don’t have experience with this.

      shrug or they want to use it as a private server, couldn’t tell you.

      Just pointing to the server source as you can run the server self hosted.
