I've setup one using https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy, but I'm not quite happy. The setup is too complex to manage.

I'm going to trying installing Synapse directly.

Sillius Soddus on Telegram suggested to try Dendrite, a matrix server written in Go.

The Federation Tester can be used to verify your deployment.
