A complete Matrix installation

This is going to be a Matrix installation with all bells and whistles. Not just the server, but every other bit that you need or want.

We're building it with workers, so it will scale.

Overview

A complete Matrix environment consists of many parts. Other than the Matrix server itself (Synapse) there are all kinds of other things that we need:

• Synapse
• Webclient (Element Web)
• Element Call for audio/video conferencing
• Management with Synapse-Admin
• Moderation with Draupnir
• Consent tracking
• Authentication via OpenID
• Several bridges

Synapse

This is the core component: the Matrix server itself.

Installation and configuration is documented under synapse.

TURN

We may need a TURN server, and we'll use coturn for that.

It's apparently also possible to use the built-in TURN server in Livekit, which we'll use if we use Element Call. It's either/or, so make sure you pick the right approach.

Wiki

Of course there's a wiki in this repository.
