 Mathijs | Can you send a link to the federation test? | 19:55:22 |
 Ace | Any idea how to get this to work? | 19:52:12 |
| Ace | On the tester it shows 8448 as connection refused | 19:54:01 |
| Mathijs | What is the federation test error? | 19:57:35 |
| Mathijs | Then port 8448 is closes | 19:57:59 |
| Mathijs | Closed* | 19:58:09 |
| Mathijs | Did you try to use the srv record to point to a different port? | 19:58:32 |
| Ace | I disabled ufw entirely | 19:58:49 |
| Ace | When I run sudo ss -plntu 8448 isn't running anything, just 8008 | 19:59:00 |

| Ace | Do I need to change homeserver.yaml to use 8448? | 19:59:51 |
| Ace | I have it as default | 19:59:58 |
| Mathijs | Is port 8448 enabled in homeserver.yaml? | 20:02:09 |
| Ace | The guide said to leave homeserver.yaml port config as default | 20:02:31 |
| Mathijs | In reply to @coiner:matrix.org
Do I need to change homeserver.yaml to use 8448? If you want to use port 8448, yes, but note that synapse then needs a valid cert for that port | 20:02:49 |
| Ace | So I did | 20:02:32 |
| Mathijs | You could also use the SRV record to point to a different port | 20:03:33 |
| Ace | I only did enable_registration and put secret in, the rest is untouched | 20:02:45 |
| Ace | I tried uncommenting 8448 and it didn't change anyway | 20:02:55 |
| Ace | I have the cert issued and it is in the nginx conf | 20:03:10 |
| Ace | I changed it from 8008 to 8448 and set tls to true, restarted synapse and not working | 20:04:20 |
| Mathijs | Right | 20:04:50 |
| Mathijs | I would recommend to use nginx for both federation and client server | 20:05:22 |
| Ace | What I don't understand is that following the guide exactly as instructed does not work | 20:05:54 |
| Mathijs | You can either set a well-known file, or use an srv record. | 20:05:58 |
| Ace | This is my 6th time running through multiple guides | 20:06:11 |
| Mathijs | And point federation traffic using either of those to port 443 | 20:06:23 |
| Ace | Same problem everytime so not sure if the guides are just old and things have changed | 20:06:22 |
| Mathijs | Things have changed indeed. The most up to date data is in the synapse github repo in the readme and the docs | 20:07:17 |
| Mathijs | But they're not really a guide per se | 20:07:29 |
