A Juju charm deploying and managing Synapse on Kubernetes. Synapse is a drop in replacement for other chat servers like Mattermost and Slack.
This charm simplifies initial deployment and "day N" operations of Synapse on Kubernetes, such as integration with SSO, access to S3 for redundant file storage and more. It allows for deployment on many different Kubernetes platforms, from MicroK8s to Charmed Kubernetes to public cloud Kubernetes offerings.
As such, the charm makes it easy for those looking to take control of their own Chat server whilst keeping operations simple, and gives them the freedom to deploy on the Kubernetes platform of their choice.
For DevOps or SRE teams this charm will make operating Synapse simple and straightforward through Juju's clean interface. It will allow easy deployment into multiple environments for testing of changes.
To begin, refer to the Getting Started tutorial for step-by-step instructions.
The configuration server_name sets the public-facing domain of the server and
refers to server_name Synapse configuration.
To change it to tutorial-synapse.juju.local, for example, run the following
command:
juju config synapse server_name=tutorial-synapse.juju.local
The following command creates a local user named alice.
juju run synapse/0 register-user username=alice password=<secure-password> admin=no
The following command can be used to promote an existing user to admin.
juju run synapse/0 promote-user-admin username=alice
