Sorry about that folks! Would love to stress it out a bit.

Everything is working with the exception of email!

Hi NM GLUG family,

I created a fully self-hosted and manually configured Synapse/Matrix instance at:

Initial testing shows everything is working, but as always, having testers / debuggers helps so much.

I documented my steps taken here:

Also, please note that any instance I create leverage Jason Schaefer (whether he asks or not) as a co-host / admin for data retention purposes. I use the following backup script for my kvm VMS:

These are rsynced to an offsite and secure location daily, and everything is encrypted. If you are interested in how I run the virtualization host, visit:

Enjoy ... hope everyone is well. Please always know that I don't have any expectation that anyone join anything I create. It's there if you want to participate. This is a community based on distributed leadership and Free Software, not dogma or directives.

Best to you all!
