Usage and Components

Sample usage

Setting up matrix for ...

• the matrix domain "fn.nf"
• the homeserver matrix.fnnf.svc.p10.k8s.ooo
• element web on m.fn.nf

Using automatic DNS from the p10.k8s.ooo cluster:

helm upgrade --install --create-namespace --namespace fnnf \
    --set homeServerFQDN=fn.nf,elementWebFQDN=m.fn.nf,letsencryptStaging=no,clusterDomain=p10.k8s.ooo matrix matrix/

Setting up matrix.fn.nf in DNS

matrix CNAME matrix-element-web.fnnf.svc.p10.k8s.ooo.

Creating the two json files

• /.well-known/matrix/server and
• /.well-known/matrix/client on the fn.nf web server using the samples:

Element-Web

• Includes config.json that is being populated by values.yaml
• Includes nginx on port localhost:8080 (http)
• Includes nginx proxy on port 80+443 (http redirect, https)

The service is reachable as {{ .Release.Name }}-element-web.

Synapse

• homeserver.yaml is created from a ConfigMap in /config-ro
• homeserver.yaml is edited using sed to add the postgres password and stored in /config/homeserver.yaml
• Logging configured to stdout

The service is reachable as {{ .Release.Name }}.

Postgres

Tuned with --no-locale --encoding=UTF8 using POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS (required by synapse).

The service is reachable as {{ .Release.Name }}-postgres.
