Hello $CUSTOMER,

I will deploy your Matrix homeserver but need a few configuration details from

you first. I do not know how familiar you are with Matrix or technical terms:

do not hesitate to tell me if I go to fast or to slow for you.

First of all, each Matrix homeserver is linked to domain name (you users will look

like `@username:domain.tld`) for federation. I can offer you two options here,

but remember that the chosen domain name cannot be changed afterward:

  * Your own domain (e.g. domain.tld).

  * One domain controlled by ungleich (e.g. $CUSTOMER.0co2.cloud,

    $CUSTOMER.ungleich.cloud).

Secondly, I will deploy a Riot web matrix client for convenience (you can use

the desktop or smartphone clients as well) and need a domain for that as well:

  * Your own domain (e.g. matrix.domain.tld)

  * One domain controlled by ungleich (e.g. matrix.$CUSTOMER.0c02.cloud).

Lastly, I will configure the Matrix homeserver for you. You can ask us to set

any configuration option but we at least need to know your preferences in term

of registration:

  * Should it be backed by an existing user directory (LDAP)?

  * Should registrations be filtered by domain of email address? (e.g. anyone

    with a @domain.tld email address can register).

  * Should anyone be allowed to register?

Feel free to ask me any matrix-related question, as I am a heavy matrix user

myself.

Best Regards,
