I'm in the process of setting up a Matrix homeserver myself. It seems like there are some missing features.

From their github:

> Is Dendrite stable?

Mostly, although there are still bugs and missing features. If you are a confident power user and you are happy to spend some time debugging things when they go wrong, then please try out Dendrite. If you are a community, organisation or business that demands stability and uptime, then Dendrite is not for you yet - please install Synapse instead.

> Does Dendrite support push notifications?

No, not yet. This is a planned feature.

> Does Dendrite support application services/bridges?

Possibly - Dendrite does have some application service support but it is not well tested. Please let us know by raising a GitHub issue if you try it and run into problems.

I got it running relatively easy. Lots of client functionality from Element do not work and the shared secret request between devices timeouts.

I also find hard to debug because of all the errors related to broken federated servers. One thing that I recommend is to set "disable_federation: true" until you get some acceptable functionality before enabling it again.

Use Synapse.
