@girish My concern is having anything at example.com
It would be cleaner to just have cloudron handle that for me. Small gripe, not a big deal at all.

Ah, Cloudron side limitation can definitely be fixed I agree that having to ssh and put files manually in a cryptic location is kinda crude. This will be fixed soonish but we just wanted to get the apps out for testing sooner rather than later.

@girish Dont get me wrong, Im thankful! Its great. I'm just giving a little feedback on possible improvements. Sounds like you are on it already

@msbt said in Matrix/Riot:

I'm guessing it is because of new keys and everything, haven't tried to re-use any of the existing ones.

Might very well be, yes. I'm going to try and migrate the keys too. The migration is hard to dry run though

[msbt]

if you want to make sure this works, you could try with a test-instance, after that a clone and then the real thing good luck either way!

I'm transitioning my external reverse-proxy-and-well-known solution to the Cloudron solution. Is there any way I can configure Riot to have https://domain.tld as base_url while still having the Synapse server at https://matrix.domain.tld? This way I would be able keep Riot user sessions across migration.

[girish]

@yusf That should not be a problem. Riot can be installed on the main domain as well. Just make sure the .well-known is setup on the server.

[yusf]

@girish Sorry, I meant doing so while keeping Riot at a subdomain too. I guess not?

[girish]

@yusf Yeah, I think not

[jegillikin]

FWIW, I just installed all of this and tested it. Works great, instructions are clear. The yaml edits referenced by @msbt were quite helpful on the external-registration side.

Look forward to the eventual Jitsi package.

@girish What if I edited the Cloudron reverse proxy settings directly?

[girish]

@yusf reverse proxy configs will get overwritten during updates. I think https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/#well-known-uris should help setup well knowns the way you want them, no?

[yusf]

@girish Well-known is in place for Synapse already, but it seems that well-known configurations aren't enough to enable entering domain.tld as homeserver in Riot sign-in when the server is at matrix.domain.tld.

What seems to be needed is the ability to forward the whole /_matrix path at domain.tld to Synapse.

In nginx terms I belive that would look something like this:

server {
  listen         443;
  server_name    domain.tld;

 location /_matrix {
    proxy_pass https://matrix.domain.tld;
 }
}
