Matrix Messaging

It’s just if the app is private only the yunohost user (in LDAP) can register on matrix. If it is public all user can create an account on the server.

Where do the empty rooms history goes?. If we don’t want the empty room history to be saved how can we delete it?

hi kanhu,

the matrix team is available in our user group: https://riot.im/app/#/room/#yunohost:matrix.org

Can some one tell me how to remove the empty room’s history ? I have lot of empty rooms with lot of stuff. I run private synapse server.

Purge History API
=================

The purge history API allows server admins to purge historic events from their
database, reclaiming disk space.

Depending on the amount of history being purged a call to the API may take
several minutes or longer. During this period users will not be able to
paginate further back in the room from the point being purged from.

The API is simply:

``POST /_matrix/client/r0/admin/purge_history/<room_id>/<event_id>``

including an ``access_token`` of a server admin.

#!/bin/bash

## CAUTION:
## This script will remove (hopefully) all trace of the given room ID from
## your homeserver.db

## Do not run it lightly.

ROOMID="$1"

sqlite3 homeserver.db <<EOF
DELETE FROM event_forward_extremities WHERE room_id = '$ROOMID';
DELETE FROM event_backward_extremities WHERE room_id = '$ROOMID';
DELETE FROM event_edges WHERE room_id = '$ROOMID';
DELETE FROM room_depth WHERE room_id = '$ROOMID';
DELETE FROM state_forward_extremities WHERE room_id = '$ROOMID';
DELETE FROM events WHERE room_id = '$ROOMID';
DELETE FROM event_json WHERE room_id = '$ROOMID';
DELETE FROM state_events WHERE room_id = '$ROOMID';
DELETE FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '$ROOMID';

Hello,

I have made a full update of riot and synapse. Here is the changes of every apps.

Riot

add backup and restore script
add change_url script
use new yunohost helper

Synapse

migrate to postgresql
use new yunohost helper
install with virtualenvironement instead of debian package and jessie-packport repos.

For now synapse is not officially released because the migration from sqlite to postgresql fail (see the issue here : https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2287). For now the new release is available here : https://github.com/Josue-T/synapse_ynh

Every notices of this is welcome.

where can i change the html and css of the homepage or my Riot instance?

Aleks · July 23, 2017, 12:29pm

You can change the URL of an installed app by running the following command :

$ yunohost app change-url name_of_the_app --domain some.newdomain.tld --path /newwebpath

Can I create an account for Non Yunohost(no Ldap) member ? I have not set the app as public and I want the member to conned to my server just for matrix. Is it possible?

Josue · July 24, 2017, 7:31pm

In this case you can just edit the line 297 of the synapse file config (https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/synapse_ynh/blob/master/conf/homeserver.yaml#L297 ). This file is in /etc/matrix-synapse/homeserver.yaml and after restart the server by service matrix-synapse restart.
With this solution after the update of app this modification will be increased, so you need to do it a new time.

You could also change manually this setting in the file /etc/yunohost/apps/synapse/settings.yml. You need to change the key is_public from 0 to 1. After that you need to upgrade the app tu apply the new setting by this cmd : yunohost app upgrade -u https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/synapse_ynh synapse

Hello @Josue,

First of all, thanks for your work on this packaging

I tried to install it, but I don’t see anything in Yunohost’s main panel.
How to use this server (for instance how to create an account) ?

Regarding DNS config, I’m also not sure to understand how it works.

Let’s says I have the domain my.domain.tld.
Then I have to use:

_matrix._tcp.my.domain.tld. 3600 IN SRV 10 0 8448 my.domain.tld.

Correct ?
Thanks

kanhu · August 4, 2017, 2:06pm

You have to use anyone of the clients mentioned in the website. You can try the web interface or install the riot on your domain with the YunoHost app.
Ldap works with it ,so you can use your normal username and password of YunoHost for login.

Lapineige · August 4, 2017, 2:59pm

I’m trying using Riot.
But when I use custom server, with my.domain.tld or my.domain.tld/_matrix (I don’t know which one to use) it raises “a connection to homeserver” issue.

kanhu · August 4, 2017, 3:06pm

You need to enter https://my.domain.tld in home server and identity server ,then login from YunoHost id.

Lapineige · August 4, 2017, 5:53pm

The identity server too ? Ok.

I tried, I get this error:

Erreur : Problème de communication avec le homeserveur. (M_UNRECOGNIZED)

Lapineige · August 5, 2017, 8:36am

Ok it works.
It seems like I didn’t set up my DNS correctly.

For, for the record, I used

https://my.domain.tld in home server and identity server

As you said

And for the DNS (with subdomain.mydomain.tld)

_matrix._tcp.subdomain. IN SRV 10 8448 subdomain.domain.tld.

(I didn’t want to setup a custom TTL)

It seems to work fine, and I’m also able to contact my account from another instance.

kanhu · August 5, 2017, 8:40am

I am using private setup, so I did not added the SRV record

Lapineige · August 5, 2017, 8:44am

Which means that the accounts on your instance can’t communicate to another instance, or just that there are not seen ?

It’s strange, it didn’t work for me before changing the DNS.

join our Yunohost user group

Josue · August 16, 2017, 1:29pm

Hello,

The new version is available on the official repos : https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/synapse_ynh

I have solved the upgrade from the old version so everybody can upgrade from the old version to the new.
The upgrade could take a long time because the upgrade script migrate all data from sqlite to postgresql so it could be really long if you have a big instance with big chattroom. It could be also long for ARM arch.

I advise to upgrade by command line instead of web interface.

kanhu · August 16, 2017, 6:44pm

Thank you so much
