I've been trying to get this running for days, but I've had no luck. I follow the install instructions and when I get to the last step of actually starting the service, it fails, seemingly because there's some issue with the config file that I can't figure out. I was hoping this would be a good alternative for ESS Community, which I had no luck with either.
You aren't UwUing hard enough during the install.
That tracks. I've never actually uwu-ed before, so I didn't know how hard to go. ๐
I tried to set it up the other day and failed as well. Looking at their docker-compose examples for reverse proxy, there are a lot of environment variables not included in their original example. After adding all those variables, the container started with a message about first registration.
I haven't tested more than that yet.
EDIT: Added it to my reverse proxy and was able to create the first account via Element.
I'd recommend joining https://matrix.to/#/#continuwuity:continuwuity.org for support
I guess I'll have to make a Matrix account elsewhere to join the support room so I can make a Matrix server of my own. ๐ Thanks for the link! Hopefully they'll be able to help me figure out the issue.
What's your use case justifying the pain and suffering of self-hosting Matrix?
