lightweight implementation called [Naffka](https://github.com/matrix-org/naffka). This will usually be the preferred model for low-volume, low-user
|
||||||

or experimental deployments.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Regardless of whether you are running in polylith or monolith mode, each Dendrite component that requires storage has its own database. Both Postgres
|
||||||
|
and SQLite are supported and can be mixed-and-matched across components as
|
||||||
|
needed in the configuration file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Be advised that Dendrite is still developmental and it's not recommended for

||||||
|
use in production environments yet!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Requirements
|
## Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Go 1.13+
|
Dendrite requires:
|
||||||
- Postgres 9.5+
|
|
||||||
- For Kafka (optional if using the monolith server):
|
|
||||||
- Unix-based system (https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#os)
|
|
||||||
- JDK 1.8+ / OpenJDK 1.8+
|
|
||||||
- Apache Kafka 0.10.2+ (see [scripts/install-local-kafka.sh](scripts/install-local-kafka.sh) for up-to-date version numbers)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Go 1.13 or higher
|
||||||
|
* Postgres 9.5 or higher (if using Postgres databases, not needed for SQLite)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Setting up a development environment
|
If you want to run a polylith deployment, you also need:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Assumes Go 1.13+ and JDK 1.8+ are already installed and are on PATH.
|
* Apache Kafka 0.10.2+

### SQLite database setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dendrite can use the built-in SQLite database engine for small setups.
|
||||||
|
The SQLite databases do not need to be preconfigured - Dendrite will
|
||||||
|
create them automatically at startup.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Postgres database setup
|
### Postgres database setup
|
||||||

Dendrite requires a postgres database engine, version 9.5 or later.

* Create role, choosing a new password when prompted:

* `database/*` (All lines in the database section must have the username and password of the user created with the `createuser` command above. eg:`dendrite:password@localhost`)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The `server_name` entry to reflect the hostname of your Dendrite server
|
||||||
|
* The `database` lines with an updated connection string based on your
|
||||||
|
desired setup, e.g. replacing `component` with the name of the component:
|
||||||
|
* For Postgres: `postgres://dendrite:password@localhost/component`
|
||||||
|
* For SQLite on disk: `file:component.db` or `file:///path/to/component.db`
|
||||||
|
* Postgres and SQLite can be mixed and matched.
|
||||||
|
* The `use_naffka` option if using Naffka in a monolith deployment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are other options which may be useful so review them all. In particular,
|
||||||
|
if you are trying to federate from your Dendrite instance into public rooms
|
||||||
|
then configuring `key_perspectives` (like `matrix.org` in the sample) can
|
||||||
|
help to improve reliability considerably by allowing your homeserver to fetch
|
||||||
|
public keys for dead homeservers from somewhere else.
