Synapse is a popular Matrix reference implementation written in Python. It is designed to run on a variety of platforms including Fedora CoreOS. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process for Synapse on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we begin installing Synapse, we need to ensure that the required packages are installed. You can do this using the following command:
sudo dnf install -y python3-pip python3-virtualenv gcc
The next step in the installation process is to create a virtual environment for Synapse. You can do this using the following commands:
mkdir -p ~/synapse
cd ~/synapse
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
With the virtual environment created and activated, you can now proceed to install Synapse. You can do this using the following command:
pip3 install matrix-synapse
Once Synapse is installed, you need to configure it to work with your specific Matrix deployment. You can do this by creating a configuration file using the following command:
synctl generate
This command will create a default configuration file called homeserver.yaml. You can edit this file to customize the configuration to your needs.
With the configuration file in place, you can now start Synapse using the following command:
synapse start
That's it! You have now successfully installed Synapse on Fedora CoreOS and can start using it for your Matrix deployment. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please refer to the Synapse documentation for further assistance.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
