  • My process typically goes: ooh, shiny new service!
    If it has a docker compose, I’ll read up a little more on it, then set it up.
    At that point, I’ll cry a bit in having to change my nginx config, because it’s new and unsupported, figure out what’s actually needed, then realize I didn’t set it up with authentik or even check if it was supported.
    Usually I’ll dig around and someone got something close, so I’ll set it up that way, and if it works, great! If not, dig through the documents.

    Any further interoperability is luck based.

    (I’m currently trying to get element-call working before I open it to my family, the whole matrix stack is leaving me scarred )







  • I started trying to set it up last week, I can’t seem to figure out why authentik and it will not play. It either tries authentik and gets a 404 or ignores it and doesn’t find the user. (Nginx is also involved). It’s the least user friendly thing I’ve tried to self host so far

    for future me: Matrix, MAS, Authentik and nginx are working okay now. I because I tested out matrix, I needed to wipe the database, then my account would load right. Importantly, getting all the URLs correct was important, and important to nginx as well.

    Using MAS helped clear things up, as is one set of documentation for mas as opposed to merging docs for a bunch of different authentication services to figure out what’s going on. Pay attention to the ports in their documents, and what gets routed where.

    Next step: voice and video
