# Synapse admin ui
This project is built using [react-admin](https://marmelab.com/react-admin/).
It needs at least Synapse v1.42.0 for all functions to work as expected!
You get your server version with the request `/_synapse/admin/v1/server_version`.
See also [Synapse version API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/admin_api/version_api.html).
After entering the URL on the login page of synapse-admin the server version appears below the input field.
You need access to the following endpoints:
- `/_matrix`
- `/_synapse/admin`
See also [Synapse administration endpoints](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/reverse_proxy.html#synapse-administration-endpoints)
## Step-By-Step install
You have three options:
1. [Download the tarball and serve with any webserver](#steps-for-1)
2. [Download the source code from github and run using nodejs](#steps-for-2)
3. [Run the Docker container](#steps-for-3)
### Steps for 1)
- make sure you have a webserver installed that can serve static files (any webserver like nginx or apache will do)
- configure a vhost for synapse admin on your webserver
- download the .tar.gz from the latest release: https://github.com/Awesome-Technologies/synapse-admin/releases/latest
- unpack the .tar.gz
- move or symlink the `synapse-admin-x.x.x` into your vhosts root dir
- open the url of the vhost in your browser
### Steps for 2)
- make sure you have installed the following: git, yarn, nodejs
- download the source code: `git clone https://github.com/Awesome-Technologies/synapse-admin.git`
- change into downloaded directory: `cd synapse-admin`
- download dependencies: `yarn install`
- start web server: `yarn start`

You can fix the homeserver, so that the user can no longer define it himself.
Either you define it at startup (e.g. `REACT_APP_SERVER=https://yourmatrixserver.example.com yarn start`)
or by editing it in the [.env](.env) file. See also the
[documentation](https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-custom-environment-variables/).
### Steps for 3)

- run the Docker container from the public docker registry: `docker run -p 8080:80 awesometechnologies/synapse-admin` or use the [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml): `docker-compose up -d`
> note: if you're building on an architecture other than amd64 (for example a raspberry pi), make sure to define a maximum ram for node. otherwise the build will fail.
