# matrix-synapse
2021-04-15 14:10:56 +00:00
Deploy [synapse ](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/ ), a matrix homeserver implementation in python, using ansible.
The role supports deployment both as systemd-services or as a docker container.
2020-08-01 17:29:25 +00:00
## Requirements
2021-04-15 14:10:56 +00:00
The following should be present on the target system when deploying synapse as a systemd service:
2020-08-01 17:29:25 +00:00
* `pip`
* `systemd`
* `rsyslogd`
* `logrotate`
2021-04-15 14:10:56 +00:00
If deploying synapse in a docker container, check that you have `docker` and the corresponding python-bindings (usually
`python3-docker` ) installed.
