+go tool cover -func=final.cov
 ```
 
-A total value can then be calculated using:
+## Getting coverage from Complement
+
+Getting the coverage for Complement runs is a bit more involved.
+
+First you'll need a docker image compatible with Complement, one can be built using
 ```bash
-cat coverage.txt | awk -F '\t+' '{x = x + $3} END {print x/NR}'
+docker build -t complement-dendrite -f build/scripts/Complement.Dockerfile .
+```
+from within the Dendrite repository.
+
+Clone complement to a directory of your liking:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/complement.git
+cd complement
 ```
 
+Next we'll need a script to execute after a test finishes, create a new file `posttest.sh`, make the file executable (`chmod +x posttest.sh`) 
+and add the following content:
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
 
-We currently do not have a way to combine Sytest/Complement/Unit Tests into a single coverage report.
\ No newline at end of file
+mkdir -p /tmp/Complement/logs/$2/$1/
+docker cp $1:/tmp/covdatafiles/. /tmp/Complement/logs/$2/$1/
+```
+This will copy the `covdatafiles` files from each container to something like 
+`/tmp/Complement/logs/TestLogin/94f9c428de95779d2b62a3ccd8eab9d5ddcf65cc259a40ece06bdc61687ffed3/`. (`$1` is the containerID, `$2` the test name)
+
+Now that we have set up everything we need, we can finally execute Complement:
+```bash
+COMPLEMENT_BASE_IMAGE=complement-dendrite \
+COMPLEMENT_SHARE_ENV_PREFIX=COMPLEMENT_DENDRITE_ \
+COMPLEMENT_DENDRITE_COVER=1 \
+COMPLEMENT_POST_TEST_SCRIPT=$(pwd)/posttest.sh \
+  go test -tags dendrite_blacklist ./tests/... -count=1 -v -timeout=30m -failfast=false
+```
+
+Once this is done, you can copy the resulting `covdatafiles` files to your Dendrite repository for the next step.
+```bash
+cp -pr /tmp/Complement/logs PathToYourDendriteRepository
+```
+
+You can also run the following to get the coverage for Complement runs alone:
+```bash
+go tool covdata func -i="$(find /tmp/Complement -name 'covmeta*' -type f -exec dirname {} \; | uniq | paste -s -d ',' -)"
+```
+
+## Combining the results of (almost) all runs
+
+Now that we have all our `covdatafiles` files within the Dendrite repository, you can now execute the following command, to get the coverage
+overall (excluding unit tests):
+```bash
+go tool covdata func -i="$(find -name 'covmeta*' -type f -exec dirname {} \; | uniq | paste -s -d ',' -)"
+```

-times as well as any parent span that caused the piece of work.
-
-A typical example would be a new span being created on an incoming request that
-finishes when the response is sent. When the code needs to hit out to a
-different component a new span is created with the initial span as its parent.
-This would end up looking roughly like:
-
-```
-Received request                             Sent response
-       |<───────────────────────────────────────>|
-                 |<────────────────────>|
-            RPC call            RPC call returns
-```
-
-This is useful to see where the time is being spent processing a request on a
-component. However, opentracing allows tracking of spans across components. This
-makes it possible to see exactly what work goes into processing a request:
-
-```
-Component 1       |<─────────────────── HTTP ────────────────────>|
-                     |<──────────────── RPC ─────────────────>|
-Component 2                |<─ SQL ─>|     |<── RPC ───>|
-Component 3                                  |<─ SQL ─>|
-```
-
-This is achieved by serializing span information during all communication
-between components. For HTTP requests, this is achieved by the sender
-serializing the span into a HTTP header, and the receiver deserializing the span
-on receipt. (Generally a new span is then immediately created with the
-deserialized span as the parent).
-
-A collection of spans that are related is called a trace.
-
-Spans are passed through the code via contexts, rather than manually. It is
-therefore important that all spans that are created are immediately added to the
-current context. Thankfully the opentracing library gives helper functions for
-doing this:
-
-```golang
-span, ctx := opentracing.StartSpanFromContext(ctx, spanName)
-defer span.Finish()
-```
-
-This will create a new span, adding any span already in `ctx` as a parent to the
-new span.
-
-Adding Information
-------------------
-
-Opentracing allows adding information to a trace via three mechanisms:
-
-- "tags" ─ A span can be tagged with a key/value pair. This is typically
-  information that relates to the span, e.g. for spans created for incoming HTTP
-  requests could include the request path and response codes as tags, spans for
-  SQL could include the query being executed.
-- "logs" ─ Key/value pairs can be looged at a particular instance in a trace.
-  This can be useful to log e.g. any errors that happen.
-- "baggage" ─ Arbitrary key/value pairs can be added to a span to which all
-  child spans have access. Baggage isn't saved and so isn't available when
-  inspecting the traces, but can be used to add context to logs or tags in child
-  spans.
-
-See
-[specification.md](https://github.com/opentracing/specification/blob/master/specification.md)
-for some of the common tags and log fields used.
-
-Span Relationships
-------------------
-
-Spans can be related to each other. The most common relation is `childOf`, which
-indicates the child span somehow depends on the parent span ─ typically the
-parent span cannot complete until all child spans are completed.
-
-A second relation type is `followsFrom`, where the parent has no dependence on
-the child span. This usually indicates some sort of fire and forget behaviour,
-e.g. adding a message to a pipeline or inserting into a kafka topic.
-
-Jaeger
-------
-
-Opentracing is just a framework. We use
-[jaeger](https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger) as the actual implementation.
-
-Jaeger is responsible for recording, sending and saving traces, as well as
-giving a UI for viewing and interacting with traces.
-
-To enable jaeger a `Tracer` object must be instansiated from the config (as well
-as having a jaeger server running somewhere, usually locally). A `Tracer` does
-several things:
-
-- Decides which traces to save and send to the server. There are multiple
-  schemes for doing this, with a simple example being to save a certain fraction
-  of traces.
-- Communicating with the jaeger backend. If not explicitly specified uses the
-  default port on localhost.
-- Associates a service name to all spans created by the tracer. This service
-  name equates to a logical component, e.g. spans created by clientapi will have
-  a different service name than ones created by the syncapi. Database access
-  will also typically use a different service name.
-
-  This means that there is a tracer per service name/component.

-# OpenTracing Setup
-
-Dendrite uses [Jaeger](https://www.jaegertracing.io/) for tracing between microservices.
-Tracing shows the nesting of logical spans which provides visibility on how the microservices interact.
-This document explains how to set up Jaeger locally on a single machine.
-
-## Set up the Jaeger backend
-
-The [easiest way](https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.18/getting-started/) is to use the all-in-one Docker image:
-
-```
-$ docker run -d --name jaeger \
-  -e COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HTTP_PORT=9411 \
-  -p 5775:5775/udp \
-  -p 6831:6831/udp \
-  -p 6832:6832/udp \
-  -p 5778:5778 \
-  -p 16686:16686 \
-  -p 14268:14268 \
-  -p 14250:14250 \
-  -p 9411:9411 \
-  jaegertracing/all-in-one:1.18
-```
-
-## Configuring Dendrite to talk to Jaeger
-
-Modify your config to look like: (this will send every single span to Jaeger which will be slow on large instances, but for local testing it's fine)
-
-```
-tracing:
-  enabled: true
-  jaeger:
-    serviceName: "dendrite"
-    disabled: false
-    rpc_metrics: true
-    tags: []
-    sampler:
-      type: const
-      param: 1
-```
-
-then run the monolith server:
-
-```
-./dendrite --tls-cert server.crt --tls-key server.key --config dendrite.yaml
-```

+# Installing Dendrite using Docker Compose
+
+Dendrite provides an [example](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/build/docker/docker-compose.yml) 
+Docker compose file, which needs some preparation to start successfully.
+Please note that this compose file only has Postgres as a dependency, and you need to configure
+a [reverse proxy](../planning#reverse-proxy).
+
+## Preparations
+
+### Generate a private key
+
+First we'll generate private key, which is used to sign events, the following will create one in `./config`:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ./config
+docker run --rm --entrypoint="/usr/bin/generate-keys" \
+  -v $(pwd)/config:/mnt \
+  matrixdotorg/dendrite-monolith:latest \
+  -private-key /mnt/matrix_key.pem
+```
+(**NOTE**: This only needs to be executed **once**, as you otherwise overwrite the key)
+
+### Generate a config
+
+Similar to the command above, we can generate a config to be used, which will use the correct paths
+as specified in the example docker-compose file. Change `server` to your domain and `db` according to your changes
+to the docker-compose file (`services.postgres.environment` values):
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ./config
+docker run --rm --entrypoint="/bin/sh" \
+  -v $(pwd)/config:/mnt \
+  matrixdotorg/dendrite-monolith:latest \
+  -c "/usr/bin/generate-config \
+    -dir /var/dendrite/ \
+    -db postgres://dendrite:itsasecret@postgres/dendrite?sslmode=disable \
+    -server YourDomainHere > /mnt/dendrite.yaml"
+```
+
+You can then change `config/dendrite.yaml` to your liking.
+
+## Starting Dendrite
+
+Once you're done changing the config, you can now start up Dendrite with
+
+```bash
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up 
+```

+```
+
+Next you'll need to create a `values.yaml` file and configure it to your liking. All possible values can be found 
+[here](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/helm/dendrite/values.yaml), but at least you need to configure
+a `server_name`, otherwise the chart will complain about it:
+
+```yaml
+dendrite_config:
+  global:
+    server_name: "localhost"
+```
+
+If you are going to use an existing Postgres database, you'll also need to configure this connection:
+
+```yaml
+dendrite_config:
+  global:
+    database:
+      connection_string: "postgresql://PostgresUser:PostgresPassword@PostgresHostName/DendriteDatabaseName"
+      max_open_conns: 90
+      max_idle_conns: 5
+      conn_max_lifetime: -1
+```
+
+## Installing with PostgreSQL
+
+The chart comes with a dependency on Postgres, which can be installed alongside Dendrite, this needs to be enabled in
+the `values.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+postgresql:
+  enabled: true # this installs Postgres
+  primary:
+    persistence:
+      size: 1Gi # defines the size for $PGDATA
+
+dendrite_config:
+  global:
+    server_name: "localhost"
+```
+
+Using this option, the `database.connection_string` will be set for you automatically.
