Synapse on a Mac
Self-hosted Matrix homeserver · Push Services
Synapse is the reference Matrix homeserver — run your own federated chat & notification backend instead of relying on matrix.org. Install with Homebrew (matrix-synapse), generate a config (synapse_homeserver --generate-config), then start it. The client-server API listens on :8008 and federation on :8448. It's the server side of the Matrix stack — pair it with the Element client and the Matrix Notifications channel above. For a web admin UI, add synapse-admin separately.
