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.

    You cannot selfhost Signal, because the regular app won’t connect to your server. You could probably bridge it to Matrix I guess? I’m pretty sure it’s a thing, but I see little benefit here, besides your phone not connecting to Signal and your messages being collected in one app, if you so desire.

      I though Signal Android client is open source and I can changed the server url if I can get server selfhosted.

      @UnfortunateShort @KarnaSubarna I think you are right about the official client, they really want to own the service so you can only connect to their decentralized service via their centralized servers 🙄 I haven’t done it, but I think you can run your own client, either modifying and building it yourself, or surely one of the existing forks can connect to arbitrary servers? But anyone who wants to use your server will have to also use one of the forks.
