Very easy to set up (without the Docker nonsense, it's just a binary that is trivial to build), but the real work was in maintaining it. After the third case of database table inconsistencies from joining large public rooms (or perhaps from upgrading it, or a combination) I regretfully had to give up on it. It was time consuming to find out the table structure being used and how to manually correct the data so that it would start again. People were generally helpful on irc but it's just not fun work and feels a bit unnecessary.
