# How do I log in to Matrix?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-log-in-to-synapse

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](https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-connect-your-own-domain).

**No server yet?** [Order a server with Matrix installed](https://www.seturack.com/en/synapse-vps): you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
