OSGeo hosts a Matrix homeserver reachable from address https://matrix.osgeo.org

Running version can be extracted from https://matrix.osgeo.org/_synapse/admin/v1/server_version At the time of writing we are running server version 1.72.0 with pyton version 3.7.3

The homeserver is a federated instance of Synapse running in an LXC container hosted on osgeo3 machine and administered by the OSGeo System Administration Committee.


The homeserver can be currently accessed by anyone with an OSGeo UserID. The Matrix ID for users will be @<LDAPUSER>:osgeo.org.

See section in Matrix page for how to effectively use IRC from matrix.

Configuration of the service is documented in SAC-private repository https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/sac/osgeo3/wiki/matrix-container

Trac ticket which was used to track setup of this service is https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2309

As part of the matrix ecosystem we are also running an Heisenbridge (in IRC bridge)
