How do I log in to Matrix?

Apps 107 views Markdown
  1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
  2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Matrix is ready". The page refreshes itself.
  3. Click Open app.
  4. Enter the details from the Login and Password rows. The login is yonetici, which is Turkish for "admin". There is no setup screen.
  5. In the Element phone and desktop apps, pick the Site address value as the server. Your user ID looks like @yonetici:site-name.

Further down the page, the Username row and the Password row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to Matrix.

Good to know

  • This server is private: it doesn't talk to other Matrix servers (federation is off) and sign-up is closed.
  • Add other users over SSH: run cd /opt/seturack/synapse, then docker compose exec synapse register_new_matrix_user -c /data/homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008.
  • The server name (your sslip.io address) is written into user IDs and can't be changed later.
  • The site opens over HTTPS on a free sslip.io address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over http:// instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.

To use your own domain, see this article.

No server yet? Order a server with Matrix installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
