@cnx dendrite is ~86% compatible with synapse, i think if you don't want to do crazy things it is worth to give it a spin. it's really just running a go binary, for testing purposes you can use sqlite. they made quite good progress in the last months regarding bugs, and usually are fast fixing them.
I said it too soon, @bonifartius, I got the server set up at loang.net, however federation doesn’t seem to work. Federation tester doesn’t report any issue.
@bonifartius, here are the configuration and relevant errors: https://bafybeiexju7sy7drcyir5ddsuevia42y2lmkx2w5z3e5goqfbrgzcfehxe.ipfs.loang.net
@cnx
do you have generated a signing key? (/var/lib/dendrite/matrix_key.pem) https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/docs/installation/4_signingkey.md
you also might want to check the well known files. maybe the ipv6 address needs to be in [], i think the federation tester gets confused by the ":", it says "server name/.well-known result contains explicit port number: no SRV lookup done". or just use a host name and port to really pin it down.
getting the well known files right is the hardest part, imho :)
Thanks, @bonifartius, the signing key was generated (Dendrite refused to run otherwise) and the server well-known response seems to be correctly formed (documented at https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/delegate.html).
Regarding SRV, it seems that the tester prioritize well-known URI over it: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-federation-tester/issues/104
More funnily, federation is working now after I got home. There is nothing in the log in between 🤣
@cnx @bonifartius do you have some account there yet?
yas @xarvos i was testing using it
Thank you @bonifartius, I should have said that installation and basic configuration isn’t a concern since NixOS has them covered. I am more interested in how they compare, functionality- and performance-wise.
In the mean time I guess I’ll give Dendrite a go (pun intended).
