| nirgal | Hello. I had a quick look at https://www.natrius.eu/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=digital:server:matrixsynapse (thanks!). I don't think this is proper to generate a password from /dev/urandom, in step 3. One must use /dev/random for permanent password generation, even if it takes times when the system lacks enough entropy. Just my two cents... | 14:35:49 |
 natrius | Hey nirgal | 14:37:32 |
| natrius | Thanks for the input, i will read through that https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/324209/when-to-use-dev-random-vs-dev-urandom | 14:40:24 |
| natrius | If you have more input according to that, feel free :) | 14:40:40 |
| nirgal | natrius: Good luck with that! It's interresting, but also very confusing... The entropy handling on Linux is a kind of nightmare. Basically there is a system that detects when entropy is low. /dev/random will block for a indefinite duration when that happens. I've heard people say it's better for permanent password generation, and I share that point of view. There should be no difference between the 2 interfaces unless you did just boot. But using /dev/random is a good practice I believe. I'd rather be slow than have poor passwords. And this is a once in a installation command. No use hurrying. I recommend reading "man 7 random", a bit simplier. This is definitely not a big issue. ^^ | 14:48:39 |

| hj-heinzmann | whats the easiest way to install synapse on Ubuntu 20.04?
Ubuntu repo is NOT recommended, as I found out; so what is best, so I can update easy like repo/ppa. Or is it better with snap, or pip, or compiling sources?
I want o use it as server for my own with federation of other servers. And I am looking also for a running version on raspberry-pi. | 11:54:54 |
| natrius | Hey, take a look at the tutorial mentioned in the room description | 11:57:16 |

| hj-heinzmann | got a problem with configuration of DNS. I have a free provider for DNS like 'mydomain.provider.com'. They translate my Public-IP to a DNS-name. How about that configuration in homeserver.yaml and my router (FritzBox 7362SL). How is the connection from Client-(Element)? Have I to route by port, or by subdomain? | 13:34:16 |

 goose | Hello everyone. Just curious...is there a way to sync multiple matrix servers to have a kind of failsafe if one server goes down? I'm not talking federation between two different servers, but a way to redirect to a synced copy in case one server goes down. | 14:15:58 |
| natrius | Hey, better ask this in #synapse:matrix.org as this is for one specific guide :) | 14:17:48 |
