How does this work? I assume a home server doesn't have a public DNS name, so what is used as the subject of the certificate then?
- ypolito 8y agoDNS is required for wildcard domains. To issue a certificate for a specific subdomain, you just need to have an http server and serve the secret under the .well-known directory.
- detaro 8y ago"home server" is the term for the server your account lives on in Matrix, not for "server you run at home", although you can of course do that.
- packet_nerd 8y agoThe federation requires a publicly accessible server to work. I got a cheap domain name, pointed it to my public IP (with DDNS), and port-forwarded to my server. Works fine for me.
