|
The Element chat application and its server component Synapse are based on the Matrix protocol,
|
|
which supports federation with other Matrix servers, allowing communication with the users with accounts on these servers.
|
|
|
|
By default, you can chat with users who have an account within your openDesk installation and federate with other
|
|
matrix-based servers.
|
|
Federation support can be turned off.
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration
|
|
|
|
The following values are used in this example documentation.
|
|
Please ensure when you come across such a value,
|
|
even if it is part of a URL hostname or path, that you adapt it where needed to your setup:
|
|
|
|
- `opendesk.domain.tld`: the mandatory `DOMAIN` setting for your deployment resulting in
|
|
`https://chat.opendesk.domain.tld` for access to the Element chat.
|
|
- `my_organization.tld`: an optional alternative domain used for mail and/or Matrix.
|
|
It is also set to `opendesk.domain.tld` if not used.
|
|
|
|
## Disable federation
|
|
|
|
The following setting can turn off federation:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
functional:
|
|
externalServices:
|
|
matrix:
|
|
federation:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Separate Matrix domain
|
|
|
|
If you want to federate with other Matrix instances and use a separate Matrix domain, you need to provide a JSON file for
|
|
the Matrix domain to use delegation. It is not part of your openDesk deployment.
|
|
|
|
Domain path: `https://my_organization.tld/.well-known/matrix/server`
|
|
|
|
Content:
|
|
```JSON
|
|
{
|
|
"m.server": "matrix-federation.opendesk.domain.tld:443"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
