The update is working here, maybe https://pypi.python.org/ was down or had a certificate issue.
It seems it’s already up to date.

i came accross this from this article
An alternative to this .well-known delegation would be to use SRV DNS record delegation to accomplish the same thing. I’d create an SRV record for _matrix._tcp.example.org with the data 0 10 8448 matrix.example.org (priority= 0 , weight= 10 , port= 8448 , target= matrix.example.org ) which would again let other Matrix servers know where to send the federation traffic for my server. This approach has an advantage of not needing to make any changes on the example.org web server, but it would require the delegated matrix.example.org server to also return a valid certificate for bowdre.net . Trying to get a Let’s Encrypt certificate for a server name that doesn’t resolve authoritatively in DNS sounds more complicated than I want to get into with this project, so I’ll move forward with my plan to use the .well-known delegation instead.
so, how can one request a letsencrypt to a domain thats not deletgated to that server?
@danb35 would acme dns be useful in this instance in a way?
I’m not sure I entirely understand the question, and I’m not going to read through a 200±post thread to try to figure it out. But if the question is whether acme-dns would help you get a cert for a hostname that doesn’t resolve in public DNS, it could.
that was essentially the question.
let me try to understand how to achieve that.
Hey, it seems that Jitsi is getting some competition from non other than the Matrix protocal itself. and element
Just came accross this
Introducing Native Matrix VoIP with Element Call!
and here is the github repo for the same.
vector-im/element-call (github.com)
well, if it eliminates one more app, then its cool i guess.

Updated: the Wikified Entry to include the Latest version of element web.
Updated: the Upgrade entry, and added a new release candidate Entry…
Added: Voice/video chat with TURN server
At a Later Time , i am going to try and install this. (Element Call)
vector-im/element-call (github.com)
A Native Matrix Video Conferencing Solution just like Jitsi.
then see if it will work well with the existing installation of Matrix.
First clone, install, and link matrix-js-sdk
git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk.git
cd matrix-js-sdk
git checkout robertlong/group-call
yarn
yarn link
Next you’ll also need Synapse installed locally and running on port 8008.
Since matrix element would be on the same server, it should not be an issue.
Finally we can set up this project.
git clone https://github.com/vector-im/element-call.git
cd element-call
yarn
yarn link matrix-js-sdk
yarn dev
i dont think ill need to setup anything here.
# Used for determining the homeserver to use for short urls etc.
# VITE_DEFAULT_HOMESERVER=http://localhost:8008
# Used for submitting debug logs to an external rageshake server
# VITE_RAGESHAKE_SUBMIT_URL=http://localhost:9110/api/submit
Ill update what i find out.
I Also came A Matrix Admin GUI
SUBNOTE: I think this should Go into the Wiki, Unless @mrmarkuz Module is ready, then we can have that one there.
On a separate Note, i came accross this:

Hi all,
Just did a (re) new (ed) attempt to install Matrix-Synapse on my VPS.
During install I did not notice any errors, however, I get a 503 when trying to connect to the test json
anyone willing to have a look at the config on the live server? (@mrmarkuz @oneitonitram )
goal is to get WA bridge working so I will be able to use element app on my phone to connect to WA
Here is a link to the install log file: Nextcloud
It mentions a problem with deprecated pyhton v3.6 not being supported
thanks in advance
There’s following message in your posted log:
Synapse requires sqlite 3.22 or above.
It seems synapse is configured to use sqlite but we want postgresql.
Here’s the relevant part of homeserver.yaml to use postgresql:
database:
name: psycopg2
args:
user: synapse
password: SECRET
database: synapse
host: localhost
port: 55433
cp_min: 5
cp_max: 10
log_config: "/opt/synapse/example.org.log.config"
media_store_path: /opt/synapse/media_store
...
It’s still working here with python3.6, I also tried python3.8 but the postgres module psycopg2 didn’t work with it.

I will check the yml config file, but I am almost sure I changed it to use postgresql and set the arguments as mentioned…
edit: a bit under the part where I configured postgresql, there were some lines to use sqlite… :-/
Now I do get the json file when I go to https://server/_matrix/key/v2/server/auto
Anyone implemetned WA bridge for matrix-synapse?
Can you point out what exactly this is/does (URL?) and maybe your drive? TIA
i have faced multiple challenges while trying to deploy Matrix with defined Bridges,
for the matrix itself, no issues, but when it comes to bridges, that’s where some challenges arise.
I am made to understand that some of the bridges are also available as docker installs
i am however unsure as to how the integration aspects is when they are done as docker installs,
I am available and ready to dedicate time, and some resources, to have a fully working matrix server, with all the relevant and supported bridges installed.
this is in lone to unification of chat as currently chat is way fragmented.
I am a member of some 4 different slack channels, some other mattermost channels, and coupled with other areas i have to communication, including whatsap, telegram, skype and so on, its so messed up. considering matrix solves all these using bridges, if anyone is available to re-look our current matrix installation, and have a deployment that makes use of matrix bridges, then why not.
someone here is doing that. with a service Beeper — All your chats in one app. Yes, really.
Hi @LayLow WA bridge for Matrix Synapse makes it possible to use Element as client to access WA, and so communicate with other WA users without having WA installed on your phone (because of obvious privacy issues.
And with authentication to WA on a static place (server running in a DC) any (location) profileing is prevented.
I would love to see the world switch to Signal instead of WA, but unfortunately that is not going to happen. So I join the darkside but with a white shield around me…

I absolutely have no clue how Beeper works, but I suspect that it ads just different protocols to 1 application, Possibly introducing several extra trackers (besides the trackers of the native apps, adding some used by Beeper)
Maybe it gives some extra ease-of-use, but if your main concern is privacy, I doubt this is the way to go.
Using Matrix-Synapse and bridges, everything behind Matrix-Synapse keeps its privacy.
Very true, matrix synapse is the best way to have things done through bridges, if you can deploy the most common and useful bridges.
That seems to be precisely how Beeper works. From their website:
The self-hosted aspect is naturally intriguing, but it’s not clear whether their “one app to rule them all” can be used with a self-hosted server.

so they are actually using matrix, hmm. interesting
Indeed. But on downloading their app for Windows, I don’t see any way to direct it to an alternate server–it prompts you to create an account, or in the alternative to sign in, presumably only to their servers
they say, you are free to use open source matrix clients to connect to beeper, seemingly, it works with any matrix clients?
