Dendrite

Deploy a Dendrite (monolithic) Matrix server using Docker.

https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite

Targeting Ubuntu 20.04, contributions welcome for a larger set of platforms.

Requirements

Developed and tested on Ansible 2.9.6.

Usage

You can install this role from Ansible Galaxy with:

ansible-galaxy install jaywink.ansible_dendrite

The Dendrite container exposes an HTTP endpoint on localhost port 8008. You will need to set up a reverse proxy to handle TLS and proxy any _matrix path traffic to the container.

A PostgreSQL database is also required.

Set the required variables for your play.

Generate a signing key as follows. You'll need a Golang binary in your path.

go get github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/cmd/generate-keys
go run github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/cmd/generate-keys --private-key=matrix_key.pem

Copy the contents of the generated matrix_key.pem file into the dendrite_matrix_key_pem variable.

Now you can run the play and get a fresh Dendrite.

Role Variables

Required

  • dendrite_server_name - Dendrite server name (ie domain.tld)
  • dendrite_matrix_key_pem - The signing key
  • dendrite_db_host - Database hostname to use (PostgreSQL)
