How do I log in to Matrix?
- In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
- On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Matrix is ready". The page refreshes itself.
- Click Open app.
- Enter the details from the Login and Password rows. The login is
yonetici, which is Turkish for "admin". There is no setup screen. - 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, thendocker 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.ioaddress based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens overhttp://instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.
To use your own domain, see this article.
