So I’m in the process of moving my discord server over to matrix. I rented a VPS with 2 cores/2gb of ram for this. What I’m having issues with is media store and federation. I believe I have the media_store configured corrected as I can post images in my own channels, however I get Error 500 while attempting to upload a profile picture with no other information. On the federation side of things, I joined #matrix:matrix.org on my server it syncs for a few seconds, my ram shoots up to 2gb usage and hard locks until I restart synapse. Am I missing a config flag? Or just not enough RAM to federate with an instance that big. Thanks

That’s very normal regarding the crash trying to join #matrix:matrix.org. You need much higher specs and need to be using Postgres database, MySQL probably won’t handle it.

Can you post a sanitized version of your homeserver.yaml so we can take a look at your config?

Also are you running docker or something else?

Sorry I should have added more info. I am using Postgres, I’ll post my sanitized yaml when I get home from work. It is a bare metal install at the moment but I plan on moving over to docker once I have a good understanding of all the functions and documentation

Heres my yaml. I quickly skimmed the docs and set it up last night so its probably pretty jank. So I guess my large channels issue is solved and I need better hardware. As for the the Error 500 I get while uploading profile pictures, this is the exact error I get:

Failed to save your profile MatrixError: [500] Internal server error (https://matrix.*.xyz/_matrix/media/r0/upload?filename=5db2-6c61-48eb-827c-f09ec246af71.png)

Your config looks good to me. I’m thinking you may have a permissions error with your media store folder. What permissions do you have set for it?

  1. I can post media in my rooms and that works just fine, it’s just trying to set a PFP throws that error which is confusing. I rolled out an ansible node last night on the advice of someone else here so I’m attempting the matrix ansible playbook to get going
