# Matrix/Synapse

Commands used

Still unsure about how to do reverse proxy 8448 or Federation part via Cloudflare tunnel method...

Of course, we [should not trust Cloudflare](https://write.pixie.town/thufie/dont-trust-cloudflare), after this experiment I will try with [Rathole](https://github.com/rapiz1/rathole), [SSH Punchhole](https://github.com/TamCore/ssh-punchhole), 

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
sudo apt install -y lsb-release wget apt-transport-https
sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.matrix.org/debian/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.matrix.org/debian/ $(lsb_release -cs) main"
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install matrix-synapse-py3
systemctl start matrix-synapse
systemctl enable matrix-synapse
systemctl status matrix-synapse
cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 32 | head -n 1
vi /etc/matrix-synapse/homeserver.yaml

systemctl restart matrix-synapse

cloudflared.exe service install eyJhIjoiZjQ1NmM4Zjhj

docker run -p 8080:80 awesometechnologies/synapse-admin
# Add 8080 into Cloudflare tunnel list for admin panel
