Monolith Installation
Requirements
In order to build a polylith deployment, you will need to install:
- Go 1.16 or later
- PostgreSQL 12 or later
Build Dendrite
On UNIX systems, the build.sh script will build all variants of Dendrite.
./build.sh
The bin directory will contain the built binaries.
PostgreSQL setup
First of all, you will need to create a PostgreSQL user that Dendrite can use to connect to the database.
sudo -u postgres createuser -P dendrite
At this point you have a choice on whether to run all of the Dendrite components from a single database, or for each component to have its own database. For most deployments, running from a single database will be sufficient, although you may wish to separate them if you plan to split out the databases across multiple machines in the future.
On macOS, omit sudo -u postgres from the below commands.
Single database
sudo -u postgres createdb -O dendrite dendrite
... in which case your connection string will look like postgres://user:pass@database/dendrite.
Separate databases
for i in mediaapi syncapi roomserver federationapi appservice keyserver userapi_accounts; do
sudo -u postgres createdb -O dendrite dendrite_$i
done
... in which case your connection string will look like postgres://user:pass@database/dendrite_componentname.
