Matrix/Synapse Admin Interface

[ericdrgn]

@rbzvr Did you make sure to follow the documentation to actually make an account an admin? You won't be able to login properly without doing that first.

@ericdrgn Thank you, you were right, I skipped this step.

Hey, just a question. Will the package ever be added to Cloudron? The post is already a year old, so just asking, somehow I can't figure out how to work the API and this would make it pretty easy I think.

@archos best bet is probably to upvote here:

@archos I just tested this now. It runs trivially on surfer. All you have to do is:

• Install surfer

• Upload the tarball - https://github.com/Awesome-Technologies/synapse-admin/releases/download/0.8.5/synapse-admin-0.8.5.tar.gz

• Extract tarball

• Login with Synapse credentials. Note that the user you are trying to login with has to be Synapse admin. See https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/synapse/#admin on how to do this.

@girish I could see this working as a basic static site app using a small node server to have a dedicated app. Is the concern just if this will continue to be maintained?

@atridad I don't know if it's actually that useful. It can only manage (existing) rooms and add users from what I can tell. It's not that full fledged an admin interface as I imagined. But still, if other's consider it useful, this is trivial to package.

@girish Thank you for the instructions, it's really simple

Got this working perfectly via the docker instructions

I am running into some issues after having used this tool to set up registration tokens where even as the admin and logged in as the admin, it will not let me delete user data. Is there an easier workaround for this? Note: Not my area of expertise but I am slowly learning and ChatGPT def helps. I am even having trouble using the Surfer CLI to access this because it won't accept my username and password despite being the superadmin.

This should be in the docs if not already

[girish]

Good idea, added it to docs.
