Starting Dendrite

Once you have completed all preparation and installation steps, you can start your Dendrite deployment by executing the dendrite binary:

./dendrite -config /path/to/dendrite.yaml

By default, Dendrite will listen HTTP on port 8008. If you want to change the addresses or ports that Dendrite listens on, you can use the -http-bind-address and -https-bind-address command line arguments:

./dendrite -config /path/to/dendrite.yaml \
    -http-bind-address 1.2.3.4:12345 \
    -https-bind-address 1.2.3.4:54321
