Synapse admin ui

This project is built using 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.

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

Step-By-Step install

You have three options:

1. Download the tarball and serve with any webserver
2. Download the source code from github and run using nodejs
3. Run the Docker container

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 file. See also the documentation.

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 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.
