Synapse is a homeserver software for the Matrix protocol, enabling decentralized and federated communication across different Matrix servers to send messages and interact with each other seamlessly. This repository creates the s9pk package that is installed to run Synapse with integrated Admin UI on StartOS.
Prior to building the synapse package, it's essential to configure your build environment for StartOS services. You can find instructions on how to set up the appropriate build environment in the Developer Docs.
Clone the Synapse package repository locally.
git clone https://github.com/Start9Labs/synapse-startos.git
cd synapse-startos
To build the Synapse service as a universal package, run the following command:
make
Alternatively the package can be built for individual architectures by specifying the architecture as follows:
make x86
or
make arm
Before installation, define host: https://server-name.local in your ~/.embassy/config.yaml config file then run the following commands to determine successful install:
ℹ️ Change server-name.local to your Start9 server address
start-cli auth login
#Enter your StartOS password
make install
Tip: You can also install the synapse.s9pk by sideloading it under the StartOS > System > Sideload a Service section.
Go to your StartOS Services page, select Synapse, configure and start the service.
Done!
