    Hello, I am new to Cloudron and am not a technical person. Is there any place where I can find a simple easy to follow step by step installation guide for Matrix. I believe to have read and tried everything available on docs & forum.

        Thank you @andreasdueren - I have installed the Matrix app and am trying to make federation work. For federation to work, the delegation URI https://$CLOUDRON-APP-DOMAIN/.well-known/matrix/server must be configured. See the docs on how to do this. As a next step in the domain & certs interface, I set the well known locations of my domain to synapse.example.com:443 // toots.example.com // jitsi.example.com - after this step I tried verifying the settings via SSH on my VPS server and only got error messages.

          Hello @stefanwirtz

          What did you try to verify and how, and what was the error message?

          .well-known is served for the root domain see https://docs.cloudron.io/domains/#well-known-locations

          Quote:

          Requires app on bare domain
          In the above example, an app must be installed on the bare domain https://cloudron.club for Cloudron to be able to respond to well known queries.

          Did you follow this step?

          Matrix federation can be tested with this web tool: https://federationtester.matrix.org and in there you put the bare domain e.g. cloudron.club and not synapse.cloudron.club.

            https://docs.cloudron.io/packages/synapse/#post-installation

            After setting up the well known URI as indicated, I tried to verify the delegation setup using Putty SSH to my VPS with the command $ curl https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server
            { "m.server": "synapse.example.com:443" }
            of course, having subsituted example with my domain name

            the error message I got was
            command not found

            Federation also, did not work

              What is this error message from? (Your statement above this says curl worked fine?) .
