Synapse VS matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

I think thats the exactly the point. It depends on how you use it. Matrix is a protocol at first. Your own Community-Matrix-Server without federation is perfect, with federation it could leak some data, depending on what you are doing (but yes, you should be aware of). For the profile data there are options to limit the „leakage“ a bit: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/sample_config.yaml

NAT is not at all recommended by matrix, https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/turn-howto.md

I found this: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6395

Once you have the home server set up and configured (not covered here because it's a process), clone the bridge repo (for instance mautrix-signal and follow the instructions.

Is there a way to change the domain name of my existing Matrix Synapse chat Server? Renewal for my domain name is expensive. I'd rather just buy a cheap domain name every year and replace with my new domain name. The only info I could find was this from several years ago: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3031

ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem; location / { # If not within location, it would always be executed (return does not work like in programming languages) return 444; } # https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#client-well-known-uri location /.well-known/matrix/client { default_type application/json; add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *; # To work in browser based clients, the file must be served with the appropriate Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers return 200 '{"m.homeserver": {"base_url": "https://matrix.example.com:8448"}}'; } # https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/delegate.md location /.well-known/matrix/server { default_type application/json; return 200 '{"m.server": "matrix.example.com:8448"}'; } }

3: you can host your own server and still write with people from other servers. and well...kinda hard to collect data if there's no third-party server to collect said data. can't get more private than that, at least not without going completely p2p. if that's too much work you can still use their default server or any other community hosted server.

I think it's the same logic as empty rooms. There is an opened issue about that : https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4720

I found this: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/workers.md

Thank you for a great tutorial I found it super. I'm just curious if it is possible to integrate into this environment this matrix deployment would very cool and helpful because there are lots of bridge options.

Don't know if it makes a difference but I set things up with Matrix Docker Ansible thing

I've just tried that and it's not working, I'm getting this issue. Any ideas what's going on?

> It’s compelling to look at the non-hosting users, conclude that they are a smashing majority (99.8% !!!!), and make a sweeping conclusion that no one wants to host their own servers. Yet it’s precisely because of those 0.2% that the system is capable of existing. Take them away, and the whole system dies.

The Matrix chat protocol is like this - you have many more users than servers, but you can switch servers, the servers can talk to each other (federated), and there are even multiple implementations of server software.

I've moved almost 100 friends (in their 20s) onto Matrix - Element is getting really good, and some use FluffyChat or SchildiChat. They aren't running their own servers, but they can if they want (unlike Signal), or they can switch down the track.

It's pretty easy to host your own - it took me an hour or two to set a Matrix server up on a $5/month VPS, and maintenance involves running one setup command again: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

Since I'm losing patience waiting for my onboarding, I was looking at https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

For setting up I used this Ansible playbook.

Here are my configs.

I use https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy which is based on matrix but very easy to set up. I have whatsapp, fb messenger, slack and telegram integrated all without any problems.

Have you seen this repository[0] that automated most of the configuration? I have a similar goal to you (get family off of Google Chat), and I was pulling my hair trying to manually set things up. Now the hard part of getting them to migrate...
