Wer seinen eigenen #Matrix #Synapse Server betreibt, sollte hier asap updaten! #HomeServer

#matrix #synapse #element - just updated to the latest versions of element and synapse. It's nice to have it all in an ansible role where you can just modify the variables, run

ansible apply

and cross fingers it all works out :)

https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/releases/tag/v1.127.1

In fact, thanks @jerry for mentioning this!

Noch schnell vor dem Schlafen das #synapse Security Update auf vier Servern installiert!

PSA: update your #matrix #synapse​s, v1.127.1 contains a fix for a federation DOS vulnerability that's being exploited in the wild: https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/releases/tag/v1.127.1

Also die Moderation von #Matrix ist echt aufwendig, ich lösche gerade 600 Räume und mehrere dutzend User die gegen unsere Regeln verstoßen.

Dafür hab ich auch gleich mal ein #synapse #Script geschrieben: https://codeberg.org/Fedimins/synapse-maintance-tasks

Wenn ich alles durchgetestet habe kommt auch gleich nochmal ein größeres Update.

So, my conclusion after tinkering with "docker compose" and Synapse for a few weeks, is that you're really not meant to access network services on the Docker host (like Postfix) from a container.

("docker run" is a different story, but less relevant for my use case.)

I haven't seen a single working example of this (no socat please). So, either I'm really bad at reading, or nobody is doing it this way successfully.

One Docker instance running Synapse (Matrix) for myhome.com, one Docker instance Synapse (Matrix) for myoffice.com.

Both using Postgresql running on the Docker host.

Both behind Nginx running on the Docker host. Why is this even an issue ...

@joho trying to get Synapse up and running vs Docker, 1st attempt, 0:1

I'll be back ...

Looking at some #datafactory pipelines last week I discovered something unexpected - the pipeline activity log doesn't always tell you what really happened. If you're using non-deterministic functions in pipeline expressions, the result of your activity may be different from what's in the log. https://buff.ly/2Gge9rc #fabric #synapse #adf

Is Synapse the best choice for a self-hosted Matrix server? Or are there better alternatives, like Conduwuit, or others?

(I prefer non-Docker installs, but I realize that may not be a good idea )

I want to self-host a #Synapse / #Matrix instance and share it with a small number of users. What do you use for user management?

https://github.com/Awesome-Technologies/synapse-admin does not look very active. https://github.com/Awesome-Technologies/synapse-admin seems to be an active fork, but I disklike "only for paying customers"-features.

I would like users to be able to reset their passwords. I tried to use a different authentication backend aka https://www.authelia.com/ which ended up being more complicated than I expected.

Any recommendations?

Mein #Matrix Server spinnt.

Er kann andauernd irgendwelche Adressen nicht auflösen, obwohl ich sie am selben host mit dig, nslookup, host und getent ahosts auflösen kann.
Hab schon auf Anraten unbound als DNS-Cache installiert... weil sie meinten, dass #synapse schon mal ins Ratelimiting eines DNS-Server laufen kann...
Das hat die Sache nicht verbessert.

Ich bin mittlerweile so angepisst auf den Shice, dass ich am liebsten Matrix deinstallieren möcht.

Question about @matrix federation...

I currently have a split domain setup with #synapse where my username is amd:amd.im but my server is located at matrix.amd.im

I am going to stand up a new homeserver that uses a subdomain, but I don't whether the new amd:matrix.amd.im user will show up with a bunch of encryption key errors or be seen as a new user.

What subdomain would you pick for your new #selfhosted #matrix homeserver if you were me?

#homelab housekeeping:
- updated all my #helm charts (except #velero)
- migrated #postgresql from previous major version to current major version
- everything still works
- feeling good about doing a hobby ive neglected for far too long

#todo #wordpress layout adjustments, get matrix #synapse working again and REALLY RESEARCH proper synapse database housekeeping tasks so things dont get out of control like they always do

happy friday yall
