Package: matrix-synapse Version: 1.12.4-1 Severity: normal Debian's homeserver configuration contains a https listener with certificate files stored under /etc/matrix-synapse. However these files are not supplied nor generated by the package and there's no instructions on how to generate them. Due to this the server won't start and it's not immediately obvious what should be done to correct the situation.
Most debian packages which need certificates use a self-signed "snakeoil" certificate. Perhaps that could also be used here? -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.4.35-core2-server (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages matrix-synapse depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.74 ii libjs-jquery 3.5.1+dfsg-3 ii libpython3-stdlib 3.8.2-3 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 ii python3 3.8.2-3 ii python3-attr 19.3.0-4 ii python3-bcrypt 3.1.7-3 ii python3-bleach 3.1.5-2 ii python3-canonicaljson 1.1.4-3 ii python3-daemonize 2.4.7-4 ii python3-distutils 3.8.2-2 ii python3-frozendict 1.2-2 ii python3-idna 2.9-1 ii python3-jinja2 2.11.1-1 ii python3-jsonschema 3.2.0-3 ii python3-lxml 4.5.0-1.1 ii python3-msgpack 0.6.2-1+b1 ii python3-nacl 1.3.0-5 ii python3-netaddr 0.7.19-4 ii python3-openssl 19.1.0-2 ii python3-phonenumbers 8.12.1-1 ii python3-pil 7.0.0-4+b1 ii python3-prometheus-client 0.7.1-1.1 ii python3-pyasn1 0.4.2-4 ii python3-pyasn1-modules 0.2.1-1 ii python3-pymacaroons 0.13.0-3 ii python3-service-identity 18.1.0-6 ii python3-signedjson 1.1.0-1 ii python3-six 1.14.0-3 ii python3-sortedcontainers 2.1.0-2 ii python3-systemd 234-3+b2 ii python3-treq 18.6.0-0.2 ii python3-twisted 18.9.0-11 ii python3-typing-extensions 3.7.4.2-1 ii python3-unpaddedbase64 1.1.0-5 ii python3-yaml 5.3.1-2 Versions of packages matrix-synapse recommends: ii python3-psycopg2 2.8.5-1 Versions of packages matrix-synapse suggests: pn python3-txacme <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/init.d/matrix-synapse changed [not included] /etc/matrix-synapse/homeserver.yaml [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/matrix-synapse/homeserver.yaml' -- debconf information excluded
