This NixOS module installs and configures Synapse — a federated Matrix homeserver with end-to-end encryption — and optionally provides the Element web client.
The example below demonstrates a minimal setup that includes:
- Element web client.
- Synapse backed by PostgreSQL and nginx.
- An admin user and an additional regular user.
Example configuration:
instances = {
matrix-synapse = {
roles.default.machines."jon".settings = {
acmeEmail = "admins@clan.lol";
server_tld = "clan.test";
app_domain = "matrix.clan.test";
users.admin.admin = true;
users.someuser = { };
};
};
};
