About

We've been knocking around the Matrix community for years, long enough that you've probably run into us in a room or two.

etke.cc started in 2021, when Nikita Chernyi built a service on top of Slavi Pantaleev's free-software work: the matrix-docker-ansible-deploy Ansible playbook, the most popular and genuinely sane way to run Matrix on your own infrastructure (going strong since 2017).

Since 2026 we're incorporated as Etke, Sociedade Unipessoal, LDA in Portugal.

Want to say hi? You can always contact us.
You get a place to talk that's private, locked down, and actually stays up, running on a managed server you never have to think about.

We take care of the server so you can get on with actually talking to people. That comes with a server management dashboard, a private docker registry, automatic updates and housekeeping, monitoring and alerts, a self-service bot, backups, and plenty more.

Between the Order page, support when you need it, and a pile of quick-start guides for every component, getting a Matrix server running is about as painless as it gets (you don't even need a domain name).

Oh, and we like Open Source enough to put all of our code out under A/GPL-3.0.
etke.cc began as a simple way to let people host their own Matrix, and it hasn't stopped growing since.
We now offer

40+

extra components on top of the "just" Matrix server (never mind the 15+ "under the hood" pieces that ship with every server we set up).

Come own your data, like the millions who already figured it out.
