SimpleX is a private encrypted messenger that creates new identities for each conversation. However, when you first install the app, it’s all the developer’s own servers. This has metadata and centralization risks. This can help…
SimplifiedPrivacy is completely different than SimpleX (although sharing the same start). They just released a tutorial video with a self-host script for any Debian/Ubuntu VPS that you can use to easily self-host a SimpleX server: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/simplex/
Here is the script on their self-hosted gitlab: https://git.simplifiedprivacy.is/publicgroup/simplex-self-host/
If you do not wish to self-host, you can add their SimpleX servers to your app for free:

Also consider joining their SimpleX chat room where people talk about Linux and privacy in general:

I feel like this might count as self-promotion, given it’s mentioning a particular website, their GitHub, their running service, etc. Regardless, it is informative, and the 40 something lines of bash script could come in handy, especially if they were entered manually, one at a time, and with the domain names altered accordingly.
