How do I actually create an account? I’ve tried deploying a test server but when I try to create an account with Element X it just says the server needs to be upgraded to support matrix authentication service and account creation. FluffyChat doesn’t let me create an account either, it just shows me a login page.
As I’m just testing the federation port isn’t actually accessible, would that break account creation or do you have to use the console to create accounts?
Element X doesn’t support the traditional way of making accounts, try use cinny.in to make an account in the browser and then log in with element X. Fluffychat should also present a “create a new account” button above the login button. Make sure to follow instructions in the console for registering the first account.
The federation port not being accessible won’t break local functionality but will break federation, so you won’t be able to talk with other people. Either change the configured port in the well-known file or forward the port via your reverse proxy.
I’d suggest joining the support room via an alt account, you’ll get faster responses.
Thanks that worked!
