Yggdrasil Demo
This is the Dendrite Yggdrasil demo! It's easy to get started - all you need is Go 1.21 or later.
To run the homeserver, start at the root of the Dendrite repository and run:
go run ./cmd/dendrite-demo-yggdrasil
The following command line arguments are accepted:
-peer tcp://a.b.c.d:e
to specify a static Yggdrasil peer to connect to - you will need to supply this if you do not have another Yggdrasil node on your network
-port 12345
to specify a port to listen on for client connections
If you need to find an internet peer, take a look at this list.
Then point your favourite Matrix client to the homeserver URLhttp://localhost:8008
(or whichever -port
you specified), create an account and log in.
If your peering connection is operational then you should see a Connected TCP:
line in the log output. If not then try a different peer.
Once logged in, you should be able to open the room directory or join a room by its ID.
