Forget about synapse and the "official" method. Install Continuwuity a matrix server written in rust, much much more efficient than synapse.
I took some notes while installing it here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=matrix%3Aconduwuit
I didn't use docker but directly installation is very easy, it's a single executable.
I saw you recommend Continuwuity on other posts as well. Was just wondering, what made you choose Continuwuity over Tuwunel?
I am asking because I used to host a Continuwuity Matrix Server until a year ago. Recently started to look into hosting a Matrix server once again and found that Tuwunel seems currently ahead of Continuwuity in regards to WebRTC (Element Call) implementation and the sliding sync thingy.
At least they have updated documentation when it comes to WebRTC and how to set it up.
I also installed tuwunnel after conduwuit death. Moved to Continuwuity because of the community vs corporate sponsorship.
I don't keep an eye on who is ahead, but I want to be sure I don't have to migrate in the future so I don't care for development speed, rather continued support and what if tuwunnel company money runs out?
Oh man I need to look into this synapse is so slow
Iβll look into it, thanks.
Iβm still in the information gathering phase. Do you know if the element client works with the continuwuity server? Is it as easy as entering the domain, user, and password in the client?
Yes both element and elementx and actually any matrix client. That's the beauty of having standards
But its a pain because all clients from matrix. Org will push you to matrix. Org and need manual taps&clicks to select a different server when you sign up the first time. A bit annoying IMHO and maybe even fraudolent.
Any client should be compatible with any server, if both are fairly up to date. Though, I never found a client nor server that are actually fully feature complete. The closest to that are synapse and element
