Now back to synapse, you should have a running container by now, that has a directory mounted with your configuration. Check your container works with the `docker ps` command, you should see something like
Anyways back to synapse, create a playbook real quick just containing the synapse role
```yaml

- hosts: all
roles:
- synapse
```
Then apply it like we have seen above (`ansible-playbook -vi inventory -l <dockerhost> synapse.yml`)

After a reload of nginx it should work properly.
### Configure openwrt
To make you able to talk to synapse, you need to configure openwrt to send all packets from ports 443 and 8448 (the default federation port) to your docker host on port 443. You can do that either with the UI or with the command line config
### Create an admin user
Note about the matrix addresses, a matrix address looks like this:
```
@<localpart>:<homeserver>
```
For example my address is @thomas:matrix.maurice.fr, the localpart is `thomas` and the homeserver is `matrix.maurice.fr`
In the following step you can create one or two users (for your team) to connect to the homeserver, pick the localpart carefully because that will be your username.
Get into your synapse host and run
```
$ docker exec -it synapse register_new_matrix_user http://localhost:8008 -c /data/homeserver.yaml
```
Fill in the localpart, the password and you should be good to go.
### Test it works
#### Check you can login
The Matrix people wrote a nice web based application for using the protocol, called [Riot](https://riot.im/app/). Go to Riot, log in by specifying the homeserver URL, username and password, and verify the login goes smoothly. If it does not, check the logs.
#### Test the federation works
The federation is required to work for you to be able to speak to users on other servers !
Enter your hostname into the [matrix federation tester](https://federationtester.matrix.org/) and check the federation works
#### Test by sending a message to another address
Fire a message to `@thomas:matrix.maurice.fr`, or better yet, send a message to one of your colleague on another homeserver.
