Does anyone have any experience in successfully self-hosting Signal server using docker?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Thanks all for your response. I gave up on Signal and installing Matrix server instead.

@UnfortunateShort @KarnaSubarna And you'll want to audit the client code of the fork, including dependencies and make sure it is keeping up to date with official development for security patches. And Signal may try to break the interoperability at some point in the future.
