@jdaviescoates I should have been clearer... I meant the sliding sync webapp got obsoleted and the repo was archived. TBH, I don't really know if the protocol / implementation was merged in a compatible way.

You can see it here - https://git.cloudron.io/apps/synapse-app/-/merge_requests/10 . The tests are failing, we have to investigate. The update won't work with Element X though, I am pretty sure 🙂

@nebulon Correct, but I just realised that in copying and pasting I appear to have missed something.
That's embarassing. In any case it has now worked and this is resolved. Thanks for the quick reply.

@girish all sounds very promising indeed.

I just went to see if I can now connect to my Cloudron Matrix using Element X... the QR Code login thing at least doesn't seem to have been implemented on Cloudron yet:

And trying to login in manually doesn't seem to work yet either:

Hopefully in the coming months such things will begin to work? Do we know what we're waiting for? I guess maybe for 2.0 to actually release and packaged? 🙂

Hello,
it seems there is a loop with SSO Login. It´s jumped back to ..#Login after Authentifcation.

thanks @joseph, for any mods, feel free to remote this thread.

@andreasdueren yes exactly, that's the bug. They are yet to add OIDC support in the Element X apps . the one you linked is the iOS app, the one I linked earlier was for the android app.

@nebulon Thanks! Got it working finally

I'm not sure how to do any of that but I'll worry about this later as I received a reply from Hetzner support about my VPS (SMTP issue) and you won't believe what they said.

Just uploaded and extracted latest version but it's just loading, don't see any login screen

@gargamel8 ok, there are some suggested solutions at https://docs.cloudron.io/troubleshooting/#hairpin-nat . Maybe something works for you.

This is very interesting @jdaviescoates thank you for this. I'll examinate this more deeply !

@girish
Thanks for the tip, I have entered pfSense as DNS, now it works again.

At the end of last week I set up a test server to play with which is connected to a different firewall. I had exactly the same problem with this fresh installation.

Another problem with the new login procedure is that mobile devices with the policy of not allowing cookies can no longer log in to the Element app.
An alternative solution must now be found, possibly deactivating openID if this is possible, but that is another topic.

Many thanks for your help and have a good week!

For all those who need a short summary:

Log in via SSH
Create the file "custom.conf":

sudo touch /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/custom.conf

Edit file:

sudo nano /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/custom.conf

Insert content into the file:

# this disables DNSSEC server: val-permissive-mode: yes # forward all queries to the internal DNS forward-zone: name: "." forward-addr: 172.xxx.xxx.xxx

Restart:

sudo systemctl restart unbound

Check:

sudo systemctl status unbound

So for two days, it looks like everything's fine. I think I can close this thread.

@nebulon said in Questions to Matrix:

There is already a thread for file uploads at https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/11032/unable-to-increase-upload-size-above-2gb-matrix/21

Thank you, then we I have to wait for an update because I use only E2E rooms

News: https://element.io/blog/2024-is-about-being-in-your-element/

Found a solution in the old bug report, only issue is that it doesn't work in e2e rooms
here is the solution https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12023#issuecomment-1044337550

That seemed to work because when uploading to an unencrypted room the upload does start, but when uploading in a e2e room it just failed (doesn't even start uploading) Does anyone have an idea on how we can make this work in e2e rooms as well?

btw for anyone trying to apply it do the following
1, go to the terminal. 2, click postgress then type psql and press enter.
3, paste in the following to change media_length from integer to bigint

ALTER TABLE local_media_repository ALTER COLUMN media_length TYPE bigint;

you can use the following to check if the change was applied

SELECT data_type FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name = 'local_media_repository' AND column_name = 'media_length';

@girish said in Expand Matrix app features:

@Sam_uk are you looking for a specific connector? I think adding all of them is not going to be "sustainable". It's just going to break with all releases and dependencies.

For me it's really only the WhatsApp bridge. It's by far the most popular chat service, requires no API access with a complex registration process or high fees and is fairly easy to use. I am basically currently running a separate server with yunohost just so I can use the bridge and would love to change that.
