Installing as a polylith

You can install the Dendrite polylith binary into $GOPATH/bin by using go install:

go install ./cmd/dendrite-polylith-multi

Alternatively, you can specify a custom path for the binary to be written to using go build:

go build -o /usr/local/bin/ ./cmd/dendrite-polylith-multi

The dendrite-polylith-multi binary is a "multi-personality" binary which can run as any of the components depending on the supplied command line parameters.

Reverse proxy

Polylith deployments require a reverse proxy in order to ensure that requests are sent to the correct endpoint. You must ensure that a suitable reverse proxy is installed and configured.

A sample configuration file is provided for NGINX.
