@ -5,6 +5,20 @@ To set up Matrix on your domain, you'd need to do some DNS configuration.
To use an identifier like `@<username>:<your-domain>`, you don't actually need
to install anything on the actual `<your-domain>` server.
You do, however need to instruct the Matrix network that Matrix services for `<your-domain>` are delegated
over to `matrix.<your-domain>`.
As we discuss in [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md), there are 2 different ways to set up such delegation:
- using a `https://<your-domain>/.well-known/matrix/server` file (on the base domain!)
- using DNS SRV records
This playbook mostly discusses the well-known file method, because it's easier to manage with regard to certificates.
If you decide to go with the alternative method ([Server Delegation via a DNS SRV record (advanced)](howto-server-delegation.md#server-delegation-via-a-dns-serv-record-advanced)), please be aware that the general flow that this playbook guides you through may not match what you need to do.
To make matters worse, for backward compatibility until the Synapse server reaches v1.0, you need to set up a DNS SRV record anyway.
So don't be confused if the general flow of this playbook asks you for both DNS SRV records and for setting up a well-known file.
It's a temporary requirement during the Synapse v0.99/v1.0 transition.
## General outline of DNS settings you need to do

- properly configured DNS records for `<your-domain>` (details in [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md))
- some TCP/UDP ports open. This playbook configures the server's internal firewall for you. In most cases, you don't need to do anything special. But **if your server is running behind another firewall**, you'd need to open these ports: `80/tcp` (HTTP webserver), `443/tcp` (HTTPS webserver), `3478/tcp` (STUN over TCP), `3478/udp` (STUN over UDP), `8448/tcp` (Matrix federation HTTPS webserver), `49152-49172/udp` (TURN over UDP).
