Our Matrix deployments make use of the "Synapse (reference) Matrix homeserver":https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/ and "Riot web client":https://about.riot.im/. We use Debian buster as base Operating system, leveraging the "matrix-synapse package from the buster-backports repository":https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/matrix-synapse. The riot client (= static files) is directly fetched from "upstream releases on github":https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/releases.

The matrix deployments run on ipv6only VMs, HTTP(S) traffic - including federation - being proxy by the [[How to use the IPv4-to-IPv6-Proxy|ungleich v4-to-v6 proxy]]. Federation is delegated using a @/.well-known/@ URI as described in [[Ungleich Matrix-as-a-Service (MaaS)|the customer FAQ]].
