My friends are open to leaving Discord which has finally given me a reason to look into Element/Matrix. I found the install instructions and am immediately put off. Is this it? No official docker compose? 😞

      I’ll look into it, thanks.

      I’m still in the information gathering phase. Do you know if the element client works with the continuwuity server? Is it as easy as entering the domain, user, and password in the client?

        Any client should be compatible with any server, if both are fairly up to date. Though, I never found a client nor server that are actually fully feature complete. The closest to that are synapse and element

        Yes both element and elementx and actually any matrix client. That’s the beauty of having standards

        But its a pain because all clients from matrix. Org will push you to matrix. Org and need manual taps&clicks to select a different server when you sign up the first time. A bit annoying IMHO and maybe even fraudolent.

    If you’re proficient it’s 30minutes

    Something like this for server.

    generate config

    docker run -it --rm \
    -v <your-data-path>:/data \
    -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=<your-public-address-subdomain> \
    -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no \
    matrixdotorg/synapse:v1.136.0 generate

    run

    docker run -d \
  --restart=always \
  --name synapse \
  -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no \
  -v <your-data-path>:/data \
  -p 8008:8008 matrixdotorg/synapse:v1.136.0

    register user

    docker exec -ti synapse register_new_matrix_user http://localhost:8008/ -c /data/homeserver.yaml -u <username> -p <password> --exists-ok

    Proxy it using ex. openresty / nginx

    location / {
        proxy_pass    http://127.0.0.1:8008/;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header    Upgrade         $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header    Connection      "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header    Host            $host;
        proxy_set_header    X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-for $remote_addr;
        proxy_connect_timeout 600;
        proxy_read_timeout 86400;
    }

    For UI if you want element on your domain, download and unpack tar.gz from.
    https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/releases

    Point this location to your proxy server ex. openresty / nginx

    location / {
        root /opt/element-v1.11.109;
        index index.html;
    }

    Modify config.json inside /opt/element-v1.11.109 to point location to <your-public-address-subdomain>

    By default it’s using sqlite if you want postgres or other database then modify homeserver.yaml to use postgres

      If you like compose files: https://www.composerize.com/

            I have a git repo with some directory convention and bash scripts. Ex stop is just

            #!/bin/bash
name=synapse
docker stop $name
docker rm $name

            etc. depending on what actions I need to do against container I have bash script for that and if I need to perform same action against other container I just copy paste this file and change name variable. I pull this repo to my containers host and just type ./bin/synapse/stop and I stop synapse.

            Hope that makes sense.

              Have you considered replace the name with input from stdin? So instead of name=synapse you could do name=$1 and have one script to use for all containers.
