A Docker container created to easily serve Matrix's Federation and Client .well-known file, without fiddling too much with configuration at your reverse proxy.
WARNING: this container is meant to be used behind a reverse proxy.
DO NOT DIRECTLY EXPOSE TO THE INTERNET.
If you're using docker-compose, you can add something like this to your services:
container_name: wellknown-matrix
image: rikhwanto/wellknown-matrix:0.0.1
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- FEDERATION_SERVER=example.com:443
- CLIENT_HOMESERVER=https://example.com
- CLIENT_IDENTITYSERVER=https://identity.com
It uses port 8080 by default and you can forward requests to .well-known/matrix/ from your reverse proxy to this container.
FEDERATION_SERVER is the address where your Matrix federation server is located and will be served at /.well-known/matrix/server. You can read more about this server-server API here
CLIENT_HOMESERVER is the URL of homeserver for the Matrix client to connect to and CLIENT_IDENTITYSERVER (not required, you can skip this) is the URL of optional identity server for the Matrix client to connect to. They will be served at /.well-known/matrix/client. You can read more about this client-server API here
This is an example of how to setup the reverse proxy using Nginx. You can add something like this to your Nginx configuration:
# other configuration
location /.well-known/matrix {
proxy_pass http://wellknown-matrix:8080/.well-known/matrix
}
# other configuration
