First, thanks for adding Matrix Synapse!
I have tried following the dietpi config docs but adding
max_upload_size: 10M
to
/mnt/dietpi_userdata/synapse/homeserver.yaml.d/99-dietpi.yaml
and reloading config doesn’t seem to change the 50MB limit in place. I have also tried editing max_upload_size in
/mnt/dietpi_userdata/synapse/homeserver.yaml
then reloading but it makes no difference either. Any help would be appreciated.
Could you try to restart the server instead:
systemctl restart synapse
I had previously tried stopping and starting synapse the same way but it too fail. However, restarting synapse did the trick. Thank you.
If I would like to change the upload file storage location would I ass this to the 99-config too and if so would I need to comment out the old location in the other config? Thanks
You should be able to override it via the 99-config, that way you can leave the original/default config untouched, as fallback or to easily restore the default value.
Hi and thanks a lot for your great Project. I am running Dietpi on an Raspberry 3 with lighttpd as a webserver. So currently I installed Synapse and could not find any Manual. Do you have a step-by-step Manual for running Synapse with lighttpd? Is it possible to change the webserver afterwards to nginx or Apache?
Synapse uses an internal webserver, so does not require Lighttpd or anything like that 
. Or do you mean to have a reverse proxy in front of it? If so for what purpose?
Hello, I refer to this manual:
https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html#tls-certificates
"he default configuration exposes a single HTTP port on the local interface: http://localhost:8008. It is suitable for local testing, but for any practical use, you will need Synapse’s APIs to be served over HTTPS.
The recommended way to do so is to set up a reverse proxy on port 8448"
https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/reverse_proxy.html
That´s the reason why I have asked for that. Problem is I do not have a deeper understanding of those things. Maybe someone can give me a little help what exactly is needed to configure /mnt/dietpi_userdata/synapse/homeserver.yaml, /mnt/dietpi_userdata/synapse/homeserver.yaml.d/00-dietpi.yaml and /mnt/dietpi_userdata/synapse/homeserver.yaml.d/99-local.yaml. Thank you.
at the moment we are working on a Blog post giving some inside into Matrix Syanpse. It’s in an early draft status and might take some time to complete. Just watch our blog at https://dietpi.com/blog/
