It was pretty straight forward to install/set up? There are some requirements to be able to federate, namely having a domain and associated certs for encryption, but otherwise nothing stood out as overtly obtuse/difficult.

You have to either make a venv for a binary or just install a package, then reverse proxy 2 ports from your http daemon, and finally also hook things up to your Postgres database. After all that it's just a matter of configuring your homeserver's config (which is large, but you can easily get support via the community for any poorly documented options)

The documentation could definitely be improved, though.

If you don't mind Docker, I success this ansible playbook: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

Great documentation and sane defaults. I have only 6 lines of custom config.
