== Matrix ==
* See the [https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md official installation guide] of Synapse for installing from source.
* Nginx is used as reverse proxy to send requests that has <code>/_matrix/*</code> in URL to Synapse on port <code>8008</code>. This is configured in <code>/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/diaspora</code>.
* Shamil's [https://git.fosscommunity.in/necessary129/synapse-diaspora-auth Synapse Diaspora Auth] script is used to authenticate Synapse with Diaspora database.
=== Workers ===
For scalability, Poddery running [https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/workers.rst workers]. Currently all workers specified in that page, expect `synapse.app.appservice` is running on poddery.com
A new service [https://gist.github.com/necessary129/5dfbb140e4727496b0ad2bf801c10fdc <code>matrix-synapse@.service</code>] is installed for the workers (Save the <code>synape_worker</code> file somewhere like <code>/usr/local/bin/</code> or something).
The worker config can be found at <code>/etc/matrix-synapse/workers</code>
Synapse needs to be put under a reverse proxy see <code>/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/matrix</code>. A lot of <code>/_matrix/</code> urls needs to be overridden too see <code>/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/diaspora</code>
These lines must be added to <code>homeserver.yaml</code> as we are running <code>media_repository</code>, <code>federation_sender</code>, <code>pusher</code>, <code>user_dir</code> workers respectively:
  enable_media_repo: False
  send_federation: False
  start_pushers: False
  update_user_directory: false
These services must be enabled, and added to <code>Requires</code> and <code>Before</code> sections of the original <code>matrix-synapse.service</code>:
matrix-synapse@synchrotron.service matrix-synapse@federation_reader.service matrix-synapse@event_creator.service matrix-synapse@federation_sender.service matrix-synapse@pusher.service matrix-synapse@user_dir.service matrix-synapse@media_repository.service matrix-synapse@frontend_proxy.service matrix-synapse@client_reader.service
=== Synapse Updation ===
First check [https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/UPGRADE.rst synapse/UPGRADE.rst] to see if anything extra needs to be done. Then, just run <code>/root/upgrade-synapse</code>
=== Riot-web Updation ===
* https://chat.poddery.com/#/welcome
  # Backup current riot-web folder from <code>riot</code> to <code>riot-backup</code>
  wget https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/releases/download/v1.0.1/riot-v1.0.1.tar.gz
  tar -xvf riot-v1.01.tar.gz
  cp -r riot-v1.0.1/* /var/www/riot/
  rm -rf ./riot-v1.0.1*
  # Transfer the old <code>config.json</code>, <code>home.html</code>, <code>home-status.html</code> from <code>riot-backup</code> to <code>/var/www/riot/</code>
  systemctl reload nginx
== Chat/XMPP ==
* Steps for setting up Prosody is given at https://wiki.debian.org/Diaspora/XMPP
# Follow steps 1 to 6 from https://wiki.debian.org/Diaspora/XMPP and then run the following:
mysql -u root -p # Enter password from the access repo
 
CREATE USER 'prosody'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<passwd_in_repo>';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON diaspora_production.* TO 'prosody'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
 
systemctl restart prosody
==== Set Nginx Conf for BOSH URLS ====
* Add the following in <code>nginx</code> configuration file to enable the BOSH URL to make JSXC Working:
upstream chat_cluster {
  server localhost:5280;
}
location /http-bind {
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
  proxy_redirect off;
  proxy_connect_timeout 5;
  proxy_buffering      off;
  proxy_read_timeout    70;
  keepalive_timeout    70;
  send_timeout          70;
  client_max_body_size 4M;
  client_body_buffer_size 128K;
  proxy_pass http://chat_cluster;
}
* [https://wiki.diasporafoundation.org/Integration/Chat#Nginx See here] for more details on <code>nginx</code> configuration. Alternatively, <code>apache</code> settings can be found [https://github.com/jsxc/jsxc/wiki/Prepare-apache here].
== TLS ==
* Ensure proper permissions are set for <code>/etc/letsencrypt</code> and its contents.
chown -R root:ssl-cert /etc/letsencrypt
chmod g+r -R /etc/letsencrypt
chmod g+x /etc/letsencrypt/{archive,live}
* Make sure the certificates used by <code>diaspora</code> are symbolic links to letsencrypt default location:
cp -L /etc/letsencrypt/live/poddery.com/fullchain.pem /etc/diaspora/ssl/poddery.com-bundle.pem
cp -L /etc/letsencrypt/live/poddery.com/privkey.pem /etc/diaspora/ssl/poddery.com.key
* Make sure the certificates used by <code>prosody</code> are symbolic links to letsencrypt default location:
ls -l /etc/prosody/certs/
''total 0''
''lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mar 28 01:16 poddery.com.crt -> /etc/letsencrypt/live/poddery.com/fullchain.pem''
''lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Mar 28 01:16 poddery.com.key -> /etc/letsencrypt/live/poddery.com/privkey.pem''
* Cron jobs:
crontab -e
''30 2 * * 1 letsencrypt renew  >> /var/log/le-renew.log''
''32 2 * * 1 /etc/init.d/nginx reload''
''34 2 * * 1 /etc/init.d/prosody reload''
* Manually updating TLS certificate:
letsencrypt certonly --webroot -w /usr/share/diaspora/public  -d poddery.com -d www.poddery.com -d test.poddery.com -d groups.poddery.com -d fund.poddery.com -w /usr/share/diaspora/public/save -d save.poddery.com -w /var/www/riot -d chat.poddery.com
