Installing Dendrite using Helm
To install Dendrite using the Helm chart, you first have to add the repository using the following commands:
helm repo add dendrite https://matrix-org.github.io/dendrite/
helm repo update
Next you’ll need to create a values.yaml
file and configure it to your liking. All possible values can be found here, but at least you need to configure a server_name
, otherwise the chart will complain about it:
dendrite_config:
global:
server_name: "localhost"
If you are going to use an existing Postgres database, you’ll also need to configure this connection:
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
:
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.
