Configuring is done in `config.json`, see the [documentation on Configuring is done in `config.json`, see the [documentation on
Github](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/blob/develop/docs/config.md). Github](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/blob/develop/docs/config.md).
The most important thing to change is the `default_server_config`. Make sure
it's something like this:
```
"default_server_config": {
"m.homeserver": {
"base_url": "https://vm02199.procolix.com",
"server_name": "matrixdev.example.com"
},
"org.matrix.msc3575.proxy": {
"url": "https://vm02199.procolix.com"
},
},
```
Of course, substitute the correct domain and server name. The `msc3575.proxy`
is for SSS and may not be necessary. But it won't hurt, so let's just put it
there.
Element-web runs in the browser, on JavaScript. Yours truly found out that
running [JShelter](https://jshelter.org/) throws a spanner in the works, so
you'll have to disable it for the URL you publish Element-web.
Also, Element-web is rather dependent on the version of your browser, so make
sure you keep yours up-to-date. Debian users, who run "Firefox ESR" should
know support for that is on a best effort basis, you might want to consider
using the "real" Firefox. [Debian packages are
available](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions-recommended).
