 # docker-compose_matrix_synapse
 
 a complete working docker-compose setup for the matrix synapse server with postgres
+
+## create config files
+
+* Change `your.domain` in the `create_config.sh` file and simply run the script from terminal.
+* A temporarily docker cotainer will be created, that will configurate the configs for you.
+* You will find your finished configs at `/var/lib/docker/volumes/synapse-data/_data`.
+* Copy this files to `./synapse_data/` in your docker-compose working directory.
+
+for more details have a look at: [hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse](https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse)
+
+## configurate `./synapse_data/homserver.yaml`
+
+### database
+
+* comment out the standard sqlite3 config (about line 680)
+* just below add:
+```
+database:
+  name: psycopg2
+  args:
+    user: matrix
+    password: your-secret-pw
+    database: synapse
+    host: db
+    cp_min: 5
+    cp_max: 10
+```
+* change the password
+
+### registration
+
+* if you want you can enable user registration by outcommenting `enable_registration: true` (typically line 1036)
+
+## configurate `docker-compose.yml`
+
+* chnage the postgres password to the password you've set before.
+
+## create docker containers
+
+
+```
+cd /your/docker-compose/working/directory
+docker-compose -p matrix up -d
+```
+
+If you can see the concrats page at `http://127.0.0.1:8008/` everything is working. This might take a few minutes, as the database has to be created.
+
+## nginx config
+
+To manage SSL/TLS I'm using nginx.
+
+Just add another path to your working SSL v-host server, like this:
+```
+    #matrix server
+
+    #For the federation port
+    listen 8448 ssl default_server;
+    listen [::]:8448 ssl default_server;
+
+    location /_matrix {
+        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8008;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
+        # Nginx by default only allows file uploads up to 1M in size
+        # Increase client_max_body_size to match max_upload_size defined in homeserver.yaml
+        client_max_body_size 10M;
+    }
+```
+The full v-host server config might look like:
+```
+server {
+    server_name your.domain;
+
+    #main web server
+    listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on;
+    listen 443 ssl;
+
+	root /var/www/your.domain;
+	index index.html;
+
+    #matrix server
+
+    #For the federation port
+    listen 8448 ssl default_server;
+    listen [::]:8448 ssl default_server;
+
+    location /_matrix {
+        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8008;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
+        # Nginx by default only allows file uploads up to 1M in size
+        # Increase client_max_body_size to match max_upload_size defined in homeserver.yaml
+        client_max_body_size 10M;
+    }
+
+    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.domain/fullchain.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.domain/privkey.pem;
+    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
+    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem;
+
+}
+server {
+    if ($host = your.domain) {
+        return 302 https://$host$request_uri;
+    }
+
+	listen 80;
+	listen [::]:80;
+
+	server_name your.domain;
+    return 404;
+}
+```
+
+//and thats it, good luck :D
