Best approach to selfhosting Synapse (Matrix)? (lemmy.wtf)

Hi there,

I would like to host my own Synapse server, but I am not sure where to start.

I would like to be able to use Nginx Proxy Manager as the reverse proxy and I've read that you can use example.eu for the username, while actually using a subdomain like matrix.example.eu?

Is there some good documentation out there and what would people recommend? I would like to run it in a container on Proxmox, but Docker could also be an option?

If you want the new mobile client "element x" to work, you will need element-call on the server (a decentralized webrtc based call system). This currently only really works in combination with synapse, so i would go with synapse. Either the ansible playbook as mentioned by others, or look into the still quite new ESS community edition.
