‼️ Just in case - bring a chair

A guided tour on how to set up your own Synapse Matrix server.

What to do here:

  • Getting started with Synapse
    • either via distribution's package manager
    • or Docker
  • Set up everything for smooth Voip
  • No backup - no mercy: A basic backup/restore strategy

What to bring:

  • A laptop + shell experience
  • A Linux server with an up to date OS (or Docker)
  • 2-3 domains
    • Given your main domain is example.com
    • Set up a sub-domain for the Matrix server: e.g. matrix.example.com
    • Optionally for hosting a chat client: e.g. chat.example.com
  • Optionally an SMTP account to enable notifications and password reset mails
  • Optionally a second IP address to host a TURN server
