Synapse Docker

Configuration

A sample docker-compose.yml is provided, including example labels for reverse proxying and other artifacts. The docker-compose file is an example, please comment/uncomment sections that are not suitable for your usecase.

Specify a SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH, preferably to a persistent path, to use manual configuration.

To generate a fresh homeserver.yaml, you can use the generate command. (See the documentation for more information.) You will need to specify appropriate values for at least the SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME and SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS environment variables. For example:

docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=yes synapse generate

(This will also generate necessary signing keys.)

Then, customize your configuration and run the server:

docker-compose up -d
