# Starting the monolith
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have completed all of the preparation and installation steps,
|
|
|
|
|
you can start your Dendrite monolith deployment by starting the `dendrite-monolith-server`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
./dendrite-monolith-server -config /path/to/dendrite.yaml
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
By default, Dendrite will listen HTTP on port 8008. If you want to change the addresses
|
|
|
|
|
or ports that Dendrite listens on, you can use the `-http-bind-address` and
|
|
|
|
|
`-https-bind-address` command line arguments:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
./dendrite-monolith-server -config /path/to/dendrite.yaml \
|
|
|
|
|
-http-bind-address 1.2.3.4:12345 \
|
|
|
|
|
-https-bind-address 1.2.3.4:54321
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running under systemd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A common deployment pattern is to run the monolith under systemd. For this, you
|
|
|
|
|
will need to create a service unit file. An example service unit file is available
|
|
|
|
|
in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/docs/systemd/monolith-example.service).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have installed the service unit, you can notify systemd, enable and start
|
|
|
|
|
the service:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable dendrite
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl start dendrite
|
|
|
|
|
journalctl -fu dendrite
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
