#question
I have been tasked with setting up a #matrix server for my company.
I want it to be easy to maintain and set up. Is it a good idea to use the #debian package that @matrix provides?

Last time I used it, the syntax of the homeserver.yaml change or something, and considering that synapse is using a "HUUUUUUGE" config file instead of many small ones does make it annoying to upgrade if stuff is deprecated or added into the config

@selea I’ve had no issues with their Debian package myself. ...but that is a bit annoying, yeah. I will say the only time I’ve ever *had* to change the config in the last year was to add email server settings once, and that was pretty clearly noted in their release notes. Otherwise it’s generally been as easy as apt upgrade.

Ah thanks for making that clear!
I forgot to mention that I used their .deb package back in the 0.2x days, so much has probably changed :)

I do hope that the process of using psql has become easier !

@selea yeah. It’s super easy. It takes like 15 minutes to go from nothing to functional federation if you just need a basic/default setup tbh.

That is really awesome,
I did the tedious "set-up-from-scratch" recently, and it took hours and day with all the bridges
