there’s a successor fork to that identity server over at https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd which is being well maintained :)

sorry that setting up a homeserver was hard; we’ve been doing a lot of work recently to improve this (eg https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-config-generator/tree/... is a graphical installer which should be released very shortly).

Thanks, I was not aware of ma1sd. I saw Gridepo but it seems to solve different problems.

I felt as though getting Matrix 95% up and running was relatively straight-forward, but I spent far too long trying to configure self-registration, email verification and domain whitelisting through mxisd that I gave up. These don't seem like uncommon scenarios for organisations wishing to run their own Matrix instance.

In contrast, a Mattermost instance that supported self-registration and domain whitelisting was up and running in almost no time.

The config generator will be a welcome addition. I will probably revisit Matrix some time in the future.

This looks good. Will this become part of matrix in the future (also, does it work /stable?)?

[Arathorn]

the config generator will ship in synapse by default in the near future. its first release is due tomorrow.

ma1sd is considered stable and works afaik, and is already part of the matrix ecosystem.
