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? 😞

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

    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:

    name: <your project name>
services:
    synapse:
        stdin_open: true
        tty: true
        volumes:
            - <your-data-path>:/data
        environment:
            - SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=<your-public-address-subdomain>
            - SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no
        image: matrixdotorg/synapse:v1.136.0
        command: generate

    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:

          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.

              yeah but I don’t mind having duplicated scripts, it’s just easier to go to single script and don’t have to worry about everything else, I keep them like bin/synapse/run, bin/synapse/stop, bin/synapse/logs etc. What I haven’t figured out is better way to keep all ports in one place instead of ports.md file but on the other hand it’s not like I have thousands of containers running.

                I feel you. I have ~20 container files (some are multiple containers in one file, e.g. db and web server) and I seldom have to do changes to them. Once properly configured, I don’t really have to do anything.
