Comment on Is Conduit (Matrix server) sustainable, do some of you host it?

No problem.

Overall, purely technically, no. This has to be the hostname of the computer the Conduit is running on. And it can be in the local network (LAN) with your own name.

But practically, yes. Because you must buy a domain name and point that domain to the server localtion (IP address). And the only global domain names available to register have TLDs :).

So, yes.

I’m still trying to understand this. I have “example.tld” but when configuring the server name, just used “example”, no tld

You’re saying that my server name in fact needs to be the full “example.tld”?

Thanks for the help.

  Yes, your server needs to be full domain name. Otherwise, when typing a username (like @myusername:myserver.com) other servers would need to know where that myserver.com is.
  
  Conduit needs to know it’s domain Because it is part of usernames.

  Defibitely the whole server name. Other servers and clients can’t guess that information. I think it’s properly documented how to do it.

    In the mariushosting tutorial I followed a tld was not used. mariushosting.com/how-to-install-synapse-on-your-… Step 14
