[ b ] About [ / b ]
The Red Matrix is a decentralized communication network , which aims to provide communication that is censorship - resistant , privacy - respecting , and thus free from the oppressive claws of contemporary corporate communication giants . These giants function primarily as spy networks for paying clients of all sorts and types , in addition to monopolizing and centralizing the Internet ; a feature that was not part of the original and revolutionary goals that produced the World Wide Web.
The Red Matrix is free and open source . It is designed to scale from a $ 35 Raspberry Pi , to top of the line AMD and Intel Xeon - powered multi - core enterprise servers . It can be used to support communication between a few individuals , or scale to many thousands and more .
Red aims to be skill and resource agnostic . It is easy to use by everyday computer users , as well as by systems administrators and developers .
How you use it depends on how you want to use it .
It is written in the PHP scripting language , thus making it trivial to install on any hosting platform in use today . This includes self - hosting at home , at hosting providers such as [ url = http : / / mediatemple . com / ] Media Temple [ / url ] and [ url = http : / / www . dreamhost .com / ] Dreamhost [ / url ] , or on virtual and dedicated servers , offered by the likes of [ url = https : / / www . linode .com ] Linode [ / url ] , [ url = http : / / greenqloud . com ] GreenQloud [ / url ] or [ url = https : / / aws . amazon .com ] Amazon AWS [ / url ] .
In other words , the Red Matrix can run on any computing platform that comes with a web server , a MySQL - compatible database , and the PHP scripting language .
Along the way , Red offers a number of unique goodies :
