# Synapse Docker
### Automated configuration
It is recommended that you use Docker Compose to run your containers, including
this image and a Postgres server. A sample ``docker-compose.yml`` is provided,
2018-02-04 08:18:40 -07:00
including example labels for reverse proxying and other artifacts.
Read the section about environment variables and set at least mandatory variables,
then run the server:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
2018-05-17 05:44:07 -06:00
If secrets are not specified in the environment variables, they will be generated
2018-05-16 03:10:31 -06:00
as part of the startup. Please ensure these secrets are kept between launches of the
Docker container, as their loss may require users to log in again.
### Manual configuration
A sample ``docker-compose.yml`` is provided, including example labels for
2018-05-16 03:10:31 -06:00
reverse proxying and other artifacts. The docker-compose file is an example,
please comment/uncomment sections that are not suitable for your usecase.
Specify a ``SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH``, preferably to a persistent path,
to use manual configuration. To generate a fresh ``homeserver.yaml``, simply run:
```
docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host synapse generate
```
Then, customize your configuration and run the server:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
