+# AMMIDS
+**Automated Modular Matrix Infrastructure Deployment Script**
 
+> **Status:** Beta / Experimental  
+> **Target OS:** Linux (Ubuntu/Debian recommended)  
+> **License:** AGPL-3.0  
+> **Maintainer:** Cortex@Fossgate  
+> **Source:** [https://git.fossgate.uk/ammids](https://git.fossgate.uk/ammids)
+
+AMMIDS is a modular, automated deployment suite designed to spin up a production-ready, upstreamable **Matrix** infrastructure on a fresh VPS. It orchestrates **Synapse**, **Matrix Authentication Service (MAS)**, **PostgreSQL**, and optional components like **LiveKit** and various web clients, all behind a reverse proxy.
+
+## ⚠️ Important Prerequisites
+
+This script is **tested exclusively on Linux** (specifically Ubuntu 22.04+ and Debian 11+). It relies on GNU-specific utilities (e.g., `sed -i`, `stat -c`) and will **not work** on macOS, BSD, or Windows without significant modification.
+
+### Required Dependencies
+
+Before running the setup, ensure the following are installed on your VPS:
+
+| Dependency | Purpose | Install Command (Debian/Ubuntu) |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Docker & Docker Compose** | Container orchestration | <!-- curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh --> |
+| **yq** | YAML processing (Critical) | <!-- wget -qO /usr/local/bin/yq https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/latest/download/yq_linux_amd64 && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/yq --> |
+| **OpenSSL** | Secure password generation | <!-- apt install openssl --> (Usually pre-installed) |
+| **Git** | Repository cloning | <!-- apt install git --> |
+| **Sudo** | Permission management | <!-- apt install sudo --> |
+
+> **Note:** If `yq` is missing, the stack initialization will fail immediately. Ensure it is in your `$PATH` and executable.
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture Overview
+
+AMMIDS generates a modular Docker Compose stack with the following components:
+
+*   **Core Services:**
+    *   **Synapse:** The Matrix homeserver (supports generic workers for scaling).
+    *   **MAS (Matrix Auth Service):** Handles OIDC authentication and user sessions.
+    *   **PostgreSQL:** Centralized database for Synapse and MAS.
+    *   **Redis:** Required for Synapse replication and worker communication.
+*   **Proxy Layer:**
+    *   **Traefik** (Default) or **nginx**: Manages SSL termination and routing.
+*   **Optional Modules:**
+    *   **LiveKit:** For voice/video call support.
+    *   **Web Clients:** Element, Cinny, or FluffyChat.
+    *   **Workers:** Scalable Synapse workers (Federation Senders, Media Repos, etc.).
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### 1. Clone the Repository
+```
+git clone https://git.fossgate.uk/ammids.git
+cd ammids
+```
+### 2. Install Dependencies
+Ensure `docker`, `docker-compose`, and `yq` are installed (see **Prerequisites** above).
+
+### 3. Run the Orchestrator
+Execute the main setup script. This will guide you through configuration and generate all necessary files.
+
+chmod +x setup.sh
+./setup.sh
+
+
+**What happens during setup:**
+1.  **Environment Generation:** Prompts for your domain, database credentials, and installation path. Creates `.env`.
+2.  **Directory Prep:** Creates the data volume directory and fixes ownership.
+3.  **Stack Initialization:**
+    *   Starts the database and waits for readiness.
+    *   Runs database migration scripts.
+    *   Generates Synapse and MAS configuration files.
+    *   Links Synapse and MAS via Native OIDC.
+4.  **Compose Generation:** Creates the final `compose.yaml` with your selected modules.
+
+### 4. Launch the Stack
+Once the script completes, start the services:
+
+```
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Verify the status:
+```
+docker compose ps
+```
+

+    └── postgres/
+```
+
+## ⚙️ Configuration & Customization
+
+### Environment Variables (`.env`)
+The `set_env.sh` script generates a secure `.env` file. Key variables include:
+*   `DOMAIN`: Your base domain (e.g., `example.org`).
+*   `HOMESERVER_FQDN`: Your Matrix server address.
+*   `VOLUME_PATH`: Where data is stored (defaults to `./matrix`).
+*   `PG_*`: Database credentials (auto-generated if left blank).
+*   `LIVEKIT_API_KEY`: (Optional) Enable voice/video calls.
+
+### Adding Workers
+To scale your Synapse instance, use the worker generator:
+```
+./init/scripts/worker_gen.sh -c 2
+```
+This adds 2 generic workers and updates `compose.yaml`.
+
+### Changing Web Clients
+Re-run `./init/scripts/set_compose.sh` to toggle between Element, Cinny, FluffyChat, or disable web clients entirely.
+
+### OIDC Integration
+The `config_link.sh` script automatically configures **Native OIDC** between Synapse and MAS. It:
+1.  Generates a Client ID/Secret in MAS.
+2.  Injects the OIDC provider configuration into Synapse.
+3.  Optionally configures **LiveKit** if enabled in `.env`.
+
+## 🛡️ Security Notes
+
+*   **Secrets Management:** The `.env` file contains database passwords and API keys. It is set to `chmod 600` automatically. **Do not commit this file to Git.**
+*   **Firewall:** Ensure ports `80` and `443` are open for the proxy, and `8448` for Matrix federation.
+*   **Backups:** Regularly back up the `matrix/` directory and your `.env` file. Losing `.env` means losing access to your database credentials.
+*   **Permissions:** The scripts attempt to fix directory ownership automatically. If you encounter permission errors, ensure your user has `sudo` privileges.
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### "Command not found: yq"
+The script relies on `yq` for YAML manipulation. Install it manually:
+```
+# Linux AMD64
+wget -qO /usr/local/bin/yq https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/latest/download/yq_linux_amd64
+chmod +x /usr/local/bin/yq
+```
+
+### "compose.yaml not found"
+If the script reports success but `compose.yaml` is missing:
+1.  Check if you are running the script from the correct directory.
+2.  Ensure `init/templates/compose.yaml.template` exists.
+3.  Check `/var/log/syslog` or `dmesg` for permission errors on the root directory.
+
+### Database Not Ready
+If the stack fails to start with a database timeout:
+```
+docker compose logs matrix-db
+```
+Ensure your VPS has sufficient RAM (minimum 2GB recommended for Synapse + Postgres).
+
+### OIDC Linking Failed
+If `link_synapse.sh` fails:
+1.  Verify `yq` is installed and functional.
+2.  Check that `mas/config.yaml` and `synapse/homeserver.yaml` were generated successfully.
+3.  Ensure `MAS_FQDN` is correctly set in `.env`.
