So upon installation of Macinabox, CPUS 0 and 1 are assinged to the VM. When I got to change this default from 0 and 1 to, say, 8 and 9 and start my VM, I have a display error. Do we have to keep CPUS 0 and 1 assigned to Catalina since we set it up with those CPUs?

On page two a user named spyd4r posted his matrix subdomain file. In that you will see some extra information regarding matrix identity. Format your subdomain file to look his (but obviously with your own network information). That extra bit is what helps with federating your server.

I'm running an older Xeon 2697 V2. I'm guessing since that only supports AVX and not AVX2, I'm out of luck then, right? I just want to verify that's correct.

Just wondering, why did you enable port 8848? I know it's for when traffic is sent directly to synapse, but I can't think of a scenario where that's happening. I've posted my turnserver.conf to this reply. I've added everything you said, but I'm still experiencing a NO-CLI error. Let me know what I'm doing wrong. It's as simple as just writing no-cli in a new line, right? I'm do have things running through Cloudflare. I followed Spaceinvader's guide here to set it up. You said you had issues running things through Cloudflare. What kinds of issues have your run into? I haven't noticed anything yet, but I haven't tried connecting to anything outside of my own instance. Since I'm running things through Cloudflare I've closed up port 80 on my router, but everything else is set up per Spaceinvader and Yizner's post. Also, what's this bit of extra code here in your matrix.subdomain.conf file for? Is this the code to help identify you and federate your instance you were talking about? How does it do that? I don't quite understand what the code is doing. location ^~ /_matrix { proxy_pass http://10.10.4.234:8008/_matrix; location ^~ /_matrix/identity { proxy_pass http://10.10.4.234:8008/_matrix/identity; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; turnserver.conf

Alright guys, sorry for the late reply back to this thread. Thanks to the help of @spyd4r I was able to fix my issue. Thanks stranger! @itsmepetey I believe you have the same issue as me so the following post will hopefully benefit you too. The error seems to come from the database not being found. In your homeserver.yaml file in /mnt/user/appdata/matrix there is a line of code that looks like this: database: name: sqlite3 args: database: /homeserver.db That should be changed to: database: name: sqlite3 args: database: /data/homeserver.db That should get your system up and running. Confirm if this is the case with you, because if it is, it looks like the new versions of avhost's matrix docker is being shipped with the code looking like that and maybe @yinzer could add that to his original post in case other's are experiencing the same issue. Note: I have since upgraded my database to a Postgres DB for better performance. That requires a little bit more work and you'd need to be comfortable with the command line, but I'd be happy to post a how-to if there's interest.

Thanks! I’m not near my sever right now but when I get back, I’ll definitely make those changes and report back. As for the turnsever.conf, it’s attached to the first post I made with my matrix.subdomain.conf and my log file. Sorry, if I was near my computer I would have just attached it to this post.

That's the homeserver.yaml file, right? I'll just post it here in the thread. Maybe it might help someone later who's having the same issue. I've went ahead and changed the secret and shared keys and switched domain to "domain.net" instead of my actual one. Thank you so much for taking your time to help me. I really appreciate it. 🙂 homeserver.yaml

No, nothing that I can think of. This is literally the only docker I can't get up and running. I haven't had any issues with dockers connecting to my appdata folder through /mnt/cache/appdata or /mnt/user/appdata. I have Jitsi and Riot working from your guide as well as a few other containers. Some are set behind are reverse proxy too. Everything works fine, except Matrix. I'm confused. 😕 I usually never post anything on forums, but I created an account specifically for this because it was bugging me so much, haha. I just can't figure it out. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I bought the domain and by following your instructions I have both Riot and Jitsi set up and working. If I didn't own the domain or have incorrect port forwarding, would I not be experiencing the same issues with those two programs too? Or is there something else I need to with my domain provider? I'm not running HTTPSEverywhere either. Thank you so much! It appears that took care of the PID issue. ☺️

@yinzer Hi! I was wondering you could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm just about to give up. I've gotten everything up and running except for this matrix server and I've been working on it for the better part or two days now 🙁. I'd love for it to be something really silly because I followed the directions and uninstalled and reinstalled the set up multiple times now, but I'm not sure anymore. Everything else works. I've attached the logs and config files. I've changed the domain to "domain.net" for security. My main issues off the bat is the following: Doesn't Register As An Error or Warning But Thought It Was Concerning Cannot create pid file: /var/run/turnserver.pid: Permission denied Warnings [WARNING] cannot find certificate file: /data/bridge.domain.net.tls.crt (1) [WARNING] cannot start TLS and DTLS listeners because certificate file is not set properly [WARNING] cannot find private key file: /data/bridge.xb34st.com.tls.key (1) [WARNING] cannot start TLS and DTLS listeners because private key file is not set properly [WARNING] cannot find DH key file: /data/bridge.xb34st.com.tls.dh (1) [WARNING] - None - Server /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/synapse/app/homeserver.py version 1.14.0 Errors [ERROR] CONFIG ERROR: Empty cli-password, and so telnet cli interface is disabled!
