We'll see - try it and let me know For separate database - I've worked around that with the help of schemas

Just made the repository public.

@mario I'm trying to install ESS via CCAI. Can you please let me know what the proper values are? TIA!

might not be relevant, but my bug-bear with Element Desktop and Mobile is they don't seem to support multiple servers, like Nextcloud Apps do.

The only alts I could find that do:

@humptydumpty I'm not familiar with CCAI. You shouldn't have to enter ports etc at all as those are defined in the Manifest that's in the repository.

Hello @mononym
Good thing we have already created the matrix auth service as an app.
But I am not 100% sure if this migration tool will work since it is specific for the ESS Community version.
Will need to test this.
