Element

Your Federated Core comes pre-installed with a powerful Matrix server allowing you to communicate with anyone on your team and anyone in the world using Matrix.

The client for using Matrix is Element. You can use Element in a web broswer with your Federated Core, or you can install and use a desktop application.

Download desktop clients at this link. Note: in our experience, the “Debian / Ubuntu x86_64” instructions are the best way to get the Element desktop client rather than using your package manager.

When you launch the Element application the first time, you want to click “Sign In”. You will need to edit your “Homeserver” value and put in your “username” and “password”.

Userful information for configuring your Element desktop application.

Homeserver: https://matrix.domain.com where domain.com is your domain name.

Username: Your email address for your Federated Core.

Password: Your password.

You will need to verify your access using your security key OR from another device already logged in.
