#### Docker config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using Docker, set `bind_addresses` to `['0.0.0.0']` as shown:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
listeners:
|
||||||
|
- port: 9000
|
||||||
|
bind_addresses: ['0.0.0.0']
|
||||||
|
type: manhole
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using `docker run` to start the server, you will then need to change the command to the following to include the
|
||||||
|
`manhole` port forwarding. The `-p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000` below is important: it
|
||||||
|
ensures that access to the `manhole` is only possible for local users.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
docker run -d --name synapse \
|
||||||
|
--mount type=volume,src=synapse-data,dst=/data \
|
||||||
|
-p 8008:8008 \
|
||||||
|
-p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000 \
|
||||||
|
matrixdotorg/synapse:latest
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Native config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are not using docker, set `bind_addresses` to `['::1', '127.0.0.1']` as shown.
