Hey all, I almost have it setup and working.

Was able to login via element to my instance.

DNS/SRV setup It passed the federation test.

But I’m getting 401 unauthorized when I try and search for public rooms.

I kinda know where the issue is.

my set up is a little fucky due to my ISP blocking port 80. So I have an aws ec2 instance setup with a tunnel to my home-sever as well as a ngnix proxy manager setup to point to said home-server. Then I have the home-sever running matrix/synapse behind ngnix proxy manager.

Example.com/.well-known/matrix/server comes up with 404

Example.com/_matrix/static/ works

So I just have to narrow it down a little bit.

The main reason I wanted to setup matrix was I was super interested in the android sms bridge, but after looking through the setup process it seems like a lot too. Not sure if anyone has seen any easier guide than the main doc.

I have 80 and 443 forwarded on AWS, I believe I’d have to forward 8448 as well…? Still looking into that bit.

Also, any better communities I could reach out to?

Cheers.

edit: I decided to blow away this convoluted setup for a cloudflare tunnel setup. Wayyy easier from the looks of it
