# Delegation
|
|
|
|
You can run Conduit on a separate domain than the actual server name (what shows up in user ids, aliases, etc.).
|
|
For example you can have your users have IDs such as `@foo:example.org` and have aliases like `#bar:example.org`,
|
|
while actually having Conduit hosted on the `matrix.example.org` domain. This is called delegation.
|
|
|
|
## Automatic (recommended)
|
|
|
|
Conduit has support for hosting delegation files by itself, and by default uses it to serve federation traffic on port 443.
|
|
|
|
With this method, you need to direct requests to `/.well-known/matrix/*` to Conduit in your reverse proxy.
|
|
|
|
This is only recommended if Conduit is on the same physical server as the server which serves your server name (e.g. example.org)
|
|
as servers don't always seem to cache the response, leading to slower response times otherwise, but it should also work if you
|
|
are connected to the server running Conduit using something like a VPN.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: this will automatically allow you to use [sliding sync][0] without any extra configuration
|
|
|
|
To configure it, use the following options in the `global.well_known` table:
|
|
| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `client` | `String` | The URL that clients should use to connect to Conduit | `https://<server_name>` |
|
|
| `server` | `String` | The hostname and port servers should use to connect to Conduit | `<server_name>:443` |
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[global.well_known]
|
|
client = "https://matrix.example.org"
|
|
server = "matrix.example.org:443"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Manual
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can serve static JSON files to inform clients and servers how to connect to Conduit.
|
|
|
|
### Servers
|
|
|
|
For servers to discover how to access your domain, serve a response in the following format for `/.well-known/matrix/server`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"m.server": "matrix.example.org:443"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
Where `matrix.example.org` is the domain and `443` is the port Conduit is accessible at.
|
|
|
|
### Clients
|
|
|
|
For clients to discover how to access your domain, serve a response in the following format for `/.well-known/matrix/client`:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"m.homeserver": {
|
|
"base_url": "https://matrix.example.org"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
Where `matrix.example.org` is the URL Conduit is accessible at.
|
|
|
|
To ensure that all clients can access this endpoint, it is recommended you set the following headers for this endpoint:
|
|
```
|
|
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
|
|
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS
|
|
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Authorization
|
|
```
|
|
|
