http://matrix.org homeserver is still suffering badly from IO problems. we’re trying to accelerate the migration to the new datacentre. sorry for the outage :(
@matrix A good opportunity to highlight the decentralization of the protocol :)
There are so many easy ways to setup a synapse server nowadays, from your managed setup: https://modular.im
Over the official Ansible playbook:
https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
To my very personal (undocumented 
) playbook:
https://git.shivering-isles.com/shivering-isles/infrastructure/tree/master/roles/matrix
Definitely worth looking into that.
@sheogorath @matrix I wouldn't call it the official playbook, it's a third party thing, which fits for a lot of people, but is not without problems either.
@jcgruenhage okay, at least that's the one I usually see recommended by people who work on matrix as well as their official docs page.
https://matrix.org/docs/guides/installing-synapse/
It's at least semiofficial.
@matrix
Glad I stood up my own server a week or so ago! Decentralized ftw! Sorry team! Hope it comes back up soon enough 😔
@matrix Good thing it's decentralized. Sorry 'bout your servers, tho.
