How to see the current status of your services
You can check the status of your services by using systemctl status. Example:
sudo systemctl status matrix-synapse
● matrix-synapse.service - Synapse server
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/matrix-synapse.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2024-01-14 09:13:06 UTC; 1h 31min ago
Docker containers that the playbook configures are supervised by systemd and their logs are configured to go to systemd-journald.
To view systemd-journald logs using journalctl, log in to the server with SSH and run a command like this:
sudo journalctl -fu matrix-synapse
Note: to prevent double-logging, Docker logging is disabled by explicitly passing --log-driver=none to all containers. Due to this, you cannot view logs using docker logs matrix-*.
How to check if services work
The playbook can perform a check to ensure that you've configured things correctly and that services are running.
To perform the check, run:
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=self-check
The shortcut command with just program is also available: just run-tags self-check
If it's all green, everything is probably running correctly.
Besides this self-check, you can also check whether your server federates with the Matrix network by using the Federation Tester against your base domain (example.com), not the matrix.example.com subdomain.
Remove unused Docker data
You can free some disk space from Docker by removing its unused data. See docker system prune for more information.
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=run-docker-prune
The shortcut command with just program is also available: just run-tags run-docker-prune
