yeah - I am sure you are right - this one thing was a reason matrix was not working for me - and someone in the chat did help me figure that out by running netstat I think.
This was part of the clunky / multiple tutorial thing - I think to get it up and running I had 150 tabs open - 30 tabs for different "how to's" for nginx and certbot, 50 tabs open for postgres, 50 tabs open for ufw and iptables - 20 tabs with stack overflows and such on minor things. (This may be a slight exageration but not far off I'm thinking)
I think I was using 4 different matrix tutorials from different places to do the different things. So having non-default things happening and conflicts and all that - no surprise.
Some were tutorials for ubuntu or other OS's, many were made for Deb 9 or 10 - but that's just what I needed to get through all the hoops.
I'm considering exporting a list of the history / bookmarks I've gone through this last couple of installs to show the madness.
I've also (pretty sure) saved all the command line stuff from putty - obviously there are many mistakes, and not every command will be exported - but it's a rough guide to get started )and easier to search for commands in there like how to stop / restart synapse - which varies depending on OS and such I think - and this is without the maintain things, the mojinor thing, the sticker picker and other addins (yet) that should be a thing.
not doing the ngninx and certbot stuff in the right order led me to days of troubleshooting only to finally give up and use a completely different domain name in order to get it working for the element part - haha - good times.
I've learned a lot about little things, but still feel all the moving parts are clunky - and it's not matrix per se - but dang it's not a one-click install and config everything like a softalicious doing wordpress either.. of course it's better (postgres va mysql) - and nginx vs apache and all that.
