To the people here that host a synapse server, how do you handle registration?
Do you use the new matrix authentification server? How does that work?
If not, registration works via element web, where you can have a captcha to avoid a bot swarm. However the only accepted captcha in the synapse config is recaptcha. Have you read the news? Well, we will have to change the captcha method. I think I read somewhere it was possible to use hcaptcha on elementweb however the setting does not exist in synapse, or I did not find it.
How do we do?
That’s alright. It’s not a straight solution but it is an acceptable input. Future hosters might read this thread.
Well, sure, and I appreciate your sanguinity haha! I just main support, and felt your question deserves a proper answer.
I am planning on answering when I’m at a computer, as well, because I actually do have a matrix server set up with Synapse and MAS. Quick question though, when you ask how it works, do you mean the actual backend, or are you asking if the performance/user experience is good?
Both, it’s more of an open question because I have not taken the time to properly inform myself about it eventhough I’ve read something here and there. Thanks!
