A full instructions for starting from scratch.

easy-matrix-wechaty is a simple and fast temporary deployment solution that provides a way to experience the main functions of matrix-appservice-wechaty. After some simple steps you can deploy a synapse server and a matrix-appservice-wechaty server. At present, in order to have a better experience, we need a domain name and a computer with a public IP address. Fortunately, we are designing a full-featured deployment plan for unpublic IP and domain names, and it is expected to be released this year(If it's necessary. ^_^).

I test it with a wechaty account name "疯帽子"(mad hatter, id: little-printf). After a period of testing, I will try to merge into this project (if appropriate). Welcome anyone to point out the shortcomings of it.

@zrn-fight How is the progress of the project deployment this week?

[zrn-fight]

@545641826 I have deployed the matrix project according to your deployment method. I changed the domain name in export host = localhost to my own domain name fontweb.asia, but after I entered fontweb.asia: 8008 in the address bar of the browser, the server that cannot connect to fontweb.asia is displayed.
It's the first time I've heard of docker. Will it be often used in later projects? If it is often used, I need to learn it.

[lprintf]

Oh, you have misunderstood the purpose of the project.There is no domain name and registered server are required. You can run it without any modify.

[zrn-fight]

I deployed it on Tencent ECs. Do you mean that I only need to deploy it on my own computer? OK, I'll deploy locally. Thank you

[lprintf]

And, did the original deployment plan encounter any problems?
We can discuss any problems you encounter during the deployment process here. (Sometimes you need to explain your problems in other new issues。)

[lprintf]

@zrn-fight Please speak freely here. I hope you can evaluate these deployment scripts from the perspective of a new user as a reference for my next modification. If you encounter any trouble, you can give feedback here, and we can analyze the reasons together. This will be much faster.

OK.After I typed docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=$HOST -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=yes synapse generate on the virtual machine,there was an error that I haven't solved.Errors are reported as follows:
【ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http+docker://localunixsocket - is it running?If it's at a non-standard location, specify the URL with the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.】
I restart docker and add the current user to the docker group, but still report an error.

Yes, this seems to be a problem that docker beginners are prone to encounter. Your question can help others to solve the problem quickly. see: solution

After I typed sudo sed -e 's/#app_service_config_files/app_service_config_files/' -e '/app_service_config_files/a\ - /data/wechaty-registration.yaml' -i files/homeserver.yaml,an error appears as shown in the picture.【sed: unable to read files / homeserver.yaml: there is no file or directory】

[lprintf]

Would you please run ls or tree -L 3 command on your work directory to provide more information?

[lprintf]

After I typed sudo sed -e 's/#app_service_config_files/app_service_config_files/' -e '/app_service_config_files/a\ - /data/wechaty-registration.yaml' -i files/homeserver.yaml,an error appears as shown in the picture.【sed: unable to read files / homeserver.yaml: there is no file or directory】

The files/homeserver.yaml is the output of the command docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=$HOST -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=yes synapse generate. Have you run the command successfully?

[lprintf]

I guess the admin user is not allowed to execute docker commands by default, like the root in centos. In this script, all commands that do not start with sudo should be executed by ordinary docker group users.
