@msbt I understand. I meant the official one. It's annoying having to build manually. So to @girish!

[girish]

We just integrated coturn into master branch yesterday. So, we are waiting for testing it a bit to get matrix published. Otherwise, the first complaint is going to be that voice doesn't work...

nice!

@girish Awesome! You guys really know how to set priorities and I love the direction cloudron development is going in! Great job guys!

[girish]

This is almost working now - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/matrix-synapse-app/ (based off @msbt 's work)! I am testing out the federation bits, after that I will get this published.

[msbt]

nice @girish, didn't know about the yq thing, way better than what I've been doing

[girish]

@msbt yeah, luckily you already figured out what needs to be patched in the yaml file each time so it was a straight forward port.

[yusf]

@girish That’s amazing news! Thank you for the hard work.

Did you get link previews etc sorted as well? Will there be an upgrade path from msbt’s package?

I assumed federation support would be very tricky for cloudron but than I saw how you managed stuff like federation port and well.known Hope you have fun with the federationtester ^^ Are you using ma1sd or mxisd?

We "fixed" it with a nginx that proxy passes requests on any hostname with path /.well-known/ to matrix.domain.com/.well-known/

[girish]

@subven Yes, I am not 100% sure if the configuration I have actually works (for federation) but in theory it should. For the well-known, we are looking into adding this to Cloudron itself (probably in the domains view). We can then do mail auto-discovery, mastodon etc.

Heads up for adding the well-known to the root domain! As you said, this would add autoconfig for mail as well which would be great. Not quite sure if this could be added as a configurable feature for Caldav for example, as users could use different Caldav server (Sogo, Nextcloud, etc.)

[msbt]

for people using my matrix installation: if you're on the latest cloudron version (>=5.1), you need to disable the turn port, else it will prohibit the real turn service to start up because the main port is in use.

[stantropics]

@msbt Thanks for the work you put in it!
I have successfully deployed the app, it was necessary do edit CloudronManifest.json and remove the udp ports there.
Do you know how the postgresql db can be edited to make a user an admin? I would like to follow the documentation here: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki

[msbt]

You're welcome! I'd rather wait until the cloudron package is final before tinkering around

[girish]

I managed to get federation working just now, yay! I will make matrix available tomorrow It does require a new Cloudron release for well-known support.

[yusf]

That feeling when something you’ve wanted for years finally realizes.

[stantropics]

First of all, thanks to everyone who has been working on the matrix app. I'm very happy to be able to run it on cloudron!
I have two questions/points that I would like to discuss and hope this is the right place:

1. Setting up the root-domain for federation use.
   When installing matrix synapse it is necessary (at least for me) to set the root domain (example.com) as a redirect URL for matrix.example.com to make federation work. As far as I know only port 8448 is needed on the root-domain to make federation work. Using my workaround I am not able to use another app with the root domain (e.g. a website or any other service). Is there any way to avoid this?

2. Making a user an administrator.
   Referring to the documentation (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki) one command needs to be executed to make a user an admin - it manipulates the data in the postgresdb:
   UPDATE users SET admin = 1 WHERE name = '@foo:bar.com'
   What is the recommended way to perform this on Cloudron?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Stay healthy everyone!

[msbt]

I installed a test-instance as well on a subdomain and neither federation nor the integrations are available. @girish ping me on the chat for debugging

[girish]

@stantropics What can an admin do? Does he get some special controls in Riot? I couldn't figure out how to test it, so I left that part out.
