# Matrix
|
||||
|
||||
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) is an open network for secure, decentralized
|
||||
communication.
|
||||
|
||||
## Docker setup
|
||||
|
||||
The matrix server can be a complex setup of servers and services.
|
||||
Please note that this configuration is a composition of docker images.
|
||||
Therefore a shared `docker-compose.yml` file is used.
|
||||
This setup guide follows a modified version of the
|
||||
[guide by matusnovak](https://gist.github.com/matusnovak/37109e60abe79f4b59fc9fbda10896da).
|
||||
Furthermore this guide will assume you already have a
|
||||
[traefik v2.4](./traefik.md) instance setup as described in the
|
||||
[traefik docker image entry](./docker-images/traefik.md).
|
||||
|
||||
### DNS records
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to create some [DNS](./dns.md) entries in order for synapse to
|
||||
function correctly.
|
||||
Additionally you will need 2 subdomains (this guide will assume you use the
|
||||
domain `example.com` with the subdomains `matrix` and `synapse`).
|
||||
|
||||
Create the following DNS records:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
example.com. A <ip of your server>
|
||||
matrix. A <ip of your server>
|
||||
synapse. A <ip of your server>
|
||||
_matrix._tcp.matrix. <TTL> class SRV 1 10 443 synapse.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Synapse
|
||||
|
||||
Create the `docker-compose.yml` file at a location of your choice (this guide
|
||||
will assume and recommend the file lies in a directory called matrix) with the
|
||||
following contents:
|
||||
|
||||
```yml
|
||||
version: "3.4"
|
||||
|
||||
services:
|
||||
synapse:
|
||||
image: "matrixdotorg/synapse:latest"
|
||||
restart: "unless-stopped"
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
SYNAPSE_CONFIG_DIR: "/data"
|
||||
SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH: "/data/homeserver.yaml"
|
||||
UID: "1000"
|
||||
GID: "1000"
|
||||
TZ: "Europe/London"
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- synapse:/data
|
||||
networks:
|
||||
- proxy
|
||||
labels:
|
||||
- "traefik.enable=true"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.services.synapse.loadbalancer.server.port=8008"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.synapse.rule=Host(`synapse.example.com`)"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.synapse.entrypoints=websecure"
|
||||
|
||||
networks:
|
||||
proxy:
|
||||
external: true
|
||||
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
synapse:
|
||||
driver: local
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now manually create the synapse volume you referenced in this file by running:
|
||||
`docker volume create matrix_synapse`
|
||||
|
||||
After that you will need to create the basic configuration files for synapse by
|
||||
running:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker run -it --rm \
|
||||
-v matrix_synapse:/data \
|
||||
-e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=matrix.example.com \
|
||||
-e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no \
|
||||
-e UID=1000 \
|
||||
-e GID=1000 \
|
||||
matrixdotorg/synapse:latest generate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to the volume and edit the configuration files.
|
||||
For the `homeserver.yaml` locate the following line and change them
|
||||
accordingly:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
public_baseurl: https://synapse.example.com/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally uncomment the lines following `ip_range_blacklist:`
|
||||
|
||||
If you start the docker container with `docker-compose up` and navigate to
|
||||
`https://synapse.example.com` you should be redirected to
|
||||
`https://synapse.example.com/_matrix/static` where a success message should be
|
||||
given out.
|
||||
If this is not the case please check your configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an admin user in the docker containers shell with the command:
|
||||
`register_new_matrix_user -c /data/homeserver.yaml https://synapse.example.com`
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to enable registration go to the `homeserver.yaml`
|
||||
and locate the line starting with `enable_registration:` and set it to `true`.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally shut down the container using `docker-compose down` to be able to keep
|
||||
following the guide (this applies to any following step).
|
||||
|
||||
### Nginx
|
||||
|
||||
For federation to work properly an nginx container is needed aswell.
|
||||
In the directory containing your `docker-compose.yml` create the file
|
||||
`data/matrix/nginx/matrix.conf` and fill in the following lines:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
server {
|
||||
listen 80 default_server;
|
||||
server_name matrix.example.com;
|
||||
|
||||
# Traefik -> nginx -> synapse
|
||||
location /_matrix {
|
||||
proxy_pass http://synapse:8008;
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
|
||||
client_max_body_size 128m;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
location /.well-known/matrix/ {
|
||||
root /var/www/;
|
||||
default_type application/json;
|
||||
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create the file `data/matrix/nginx/www/.well-known/matrix/client` and set the
|
||||
contents as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"m.homeserver": {
|
||||
"base_url": "https://matrix.example.com"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create the file `data/matrix/nginx/www/.well-known/matrix/server` and set the
|
||||
contents as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"m.server": "synapse.example.com:443"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After that add the following lines in the `service` section in your
|
||||
`docker-compse.yml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yml
|
||||
nginx:
|
||||
image: "nginx:latest"
|
||||
restart: "unless-stopped"
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- "./data/matrix/nginx/matrix.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/matrix.conf"
|
||||
- ./data/matrix/nginx/www:/var/www/
|
||||
networks:
|
||||
- proxy
|
||||
labels:
|
||||
- "traefik.enable=true"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.services.matrix.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.martix.rule=Host(`matrix.example.com`)"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.matrix.entrypoints=websecure"
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now start the container again and navigate to
|
||||
`https://matrix.example.com/.well-known/matrix/client` which should give you
|
||||
back something like: `"base_url": "https://matrix.example.com"`.
|
||||
If you navigate to `https://matrix.example.com/.well-known/matrix/server` you
|
||||
should see: `"m.server": "synapse.example.com:443"`.
|
||||
If you navigate to `https://matrix.example.com/_matrix/static/` you should see
|
||||
the same page as shown at `https://synapse.example.com/_matrix/static/`.
|
||||
|
||||
If that works you can try to visit `https://federationtester.matrix.org/` to
|
||||
check if your federation is working properly.
|
||||
Your servername is `matrix.example.com` (do not include `https://`).
|
||||
You should see a green sign that indicates success.
|
||||
|
||||
If one of these does not work (but synapse works) your nginx configuration is
|
||||
not correctly set up.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Features
|
||||
|
||||
Your done with the most basic setup for your Matrix Homeserver to work properly
|
||||
with federation.
|
||||
All following sections will add features to it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Element web client
|
||||
|
||||
This section will add a self hosted Matrix web client in form of `Element`
|
||||
(which was previously called `riot`).
|
||||
|
||||
First you will need to create another DNS record:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
chat. A <ip of your server>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In the directory containing your `docker-compose.yml` file create the file
|
||||
`data/matrix/element/config.json` with the contents as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"default_server_config": {
|
||||
"m.homeserver": {
|
||||
"base_url": "https://matrix.example.com",
|
||||
"server_name": "matrix.example.com"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"m.identity_server": {
|
||||
"base_url": "https://vector.im"
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"disable_custom_urls": false,
|
||||
"disable_guests": false,
|
||||
"disable_login_language_selector": false,
|
||||
"disable_3pid_login": false,
|
||||
"brand": "Element",
|
||||
"integrations_ui_url": "https://scalar.vector.im/",
|
||||
"integrations_rest_url": "https://scalar.vector.im/api",
|
||||
"integrations_widgets_urls": [
|
||||
"https://scalar.vector.im/_matrix/integrations/v1",
|
||||
"https://scalar.vector.im/api",
|
||||
"https://scalar-staging.vector.im/_matrix/integrations/v1",
|
||||
"https://scalar-staging.vector.im/api",
|
||||
"https://scalar-staging.riot.im/scalar/api"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"bug_report_endpoint_url": "https://riot.im/bugreports/submit",
|
||||
"defaultCountryCode": "GB",
|
||||
"showLabsSettings": false,
|
||||
"features": {
|
||||
"feature_new_spinner": "labs",
|
||||
"feature_pinning": "labs",
|
||||
"feature_custom_status": "labs",
|
||||
"feature_custom_tags": "labs",
|
||||
"feature_state_counters": "labs"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"default_federate": true,
|
||||
"default_theme": "light",
|
||||
"roomDirectory": {
|
||||
"servers": [
|
||||
"matrix.org"
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"welcomeUserId": "@riot-bot:matrix.org",
|
||||
"piwik": {
|
||||
"url": "https://piwik.riot.im/",
|
||||
"whitelistedHSUrls": [
|
||||
"https://matrix.org"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"whitelistedISUrls": [
|
||||
"https://vector.im",
|
||||
"https://matrix.org"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"siteId": 1
|
||||
},
|
||||
"enable_presence_by_hs_url": {
|
||||
"https://matrix.org": false,
|
||||
"https://matrix-client.matrix.org": false
|
||||
},
|
||||
"settingDefaults": {
|
||||
"breadcrumbs": true
|
||||
},
|
||||
"jitsi": {
|
||||
"preferredDomain": "jitsi.riot.im"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After that add the following lines to your `docker-compose.yml` in the `service`
|
||||
section:
|
||||
|
||||
```yml
|
||||
element:
|
||||
image: vectorim/riot-web:latest
|
||||
restart: unless-stopped
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- "./data/matrix/element/config.json:/app/config.json:ro"
|
||||
networks:
|
||||
- proxy
|
||||
labels:
|
||||
- "traefik.enable=true"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.element-secure.entrypoints=websecure"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.element-secure.rule=Host(`chat.example.com`)"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.element-secure.service=element"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.services.element.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Start the container.
|
||||
You should now be able to navigate to `https://chat.example.com` where you are
|
||||
prompted with a log in window.
|
||||
If you already created an account you should be able to log in.
|
||||
If any of that is not working there is something wrong with your configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Administration interface
|
||||
|
||||
This section will add a self hosted Matrix administration interface.
|
||||
This is especially useful if you have `enable_registration` set to `false`
|
||||
because you can dynamically create and administrate users and rooms.
|
||||
|
||||
First you will need to create another DNS record:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
matrixadmin. A <ip of your server>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add the following lines in the `service` section to your `docker-compose.yml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yml
|
||||
synapse-admin:
|
||||
image: awesometechnologies/synapse-admin:latest
|
||||
restart: unless-stopped
|
||||
networks:
|
||||
- proxy
|
||||
labels:
|
||||
- "traefik.enable=true"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.synapse-admin-secure.entrypoints=websecure"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.synapse-admin-secure.rule=Host(`matrixadmin.example.com`)"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.synapse-admin-secure.service=synapse-admin"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.services.synapse-admin.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Start the container.
|
||||
After that you should be able to navigate to `https://matrixadmin.example.com`
|
||||
and log into the interface with your administration account.
|
||||
Your `Homeserver URL` in that case is `https://synapse.example.com`.
