Cone.png This article or section is a stub. Stubs are articles that have not yet received substantial attention from the authors. They are short or insufficient pieces of information and require additions to further increase the article's usefulness. The project values stubs as useful first steps toward complete articles.


Docker installation

First generate a default configuration file for your domain as follows, this will automatically pull the necessary containers as well.

docker run -it --rm --mount type=volume,src=synapse-data,dst=/data -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=organicdesign.co.nz -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no matrixdotorg/synapse:latest generate

This will create a new volume with your persistent configuration file in it in /var/lib/docker/volumes/synapse-data/_data/homeserver.yaml

Next, run the container on a local-only.

docker run -d --name synapse --mount type=volume,src=synapse-data,dst=/data -p 127.0.0.1:8008:8008 matrixdotorg/synapse:latest

This is the default Matrix port for unsecured HTTP traffic, so that a reverse proxy needs to be set up from your web-server to handle the HTTPS side of things on exposing the default Matrix HTTPS port of 8448 to the public that connects to the the internal HTTP port on 8008. Also there needs to be a connection from port 443, see the official reverse proxy notes for details about the reverse proxy setup.


Set up a user:

docker exec -it <CONTAINER_ID> register_new_matrix_user -c /data/homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008
