Matrix

This server hosts an implementation of the server-side part of the matrix protocol.

About

We believe in a free and decentralized internet. As such, enabling end-to-end encrypted decentralized communication is one of the concrete pillars of our action. Alongside email, matrix allows people to communicate in a resilient and secure way, protecting our fundamental freedoms.

Configuration

Account

To use this server, you need an account here. See the conditions on the main page. Once that is the case, you will need your matrix ID, which was sent to you by your admin in the form @matrixID:thedesroches.net.

Client

This here is the server. To start using it, you need a client. There are many available, but I currently recommend Element, which comes in a mobile, web and desktop version.

Configuration

In order to connect, you must enter:

• https://matrix.thedesroches.net as the homeserver URL.
• matrixID (the part before :thedesroches.net) as your ID
• The default as an Identity Server.
• Your password for your thedesroches.net account.

You can then configure your client and your displayed name. Start chatting by inviting another user with his @username:server.org ID!
