### Generate example config with docker run

Source: https://docs.mau.fi/meowlnir/setup-docker.html

Runs the Meowlnir container with the -e flag to generate an example config. The -v flag mounts the current directory to /data, and the :z suffix is for SELinux. Replace <version> with the desired version tag.

```bash
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/data:z dock.mau.dev/maunium/meowlnir:<version> /usr/bin/meowlnir -e
```

--------------------------------

### Run Meowlnir container

Source: https://docs.mau.fi/meowlnir/setup-docker.html

Starts the Meowlnir container with restart policy unless-stopped and mounts the current directory to /data. Add --network=synapsenet or -p 29339:29339 for networking depending on your setup.

```bash
docker run --restart unless-stopped -v `pwd`:/data:z dock.mau.dev/maunium/meowlnir:<version>
```

--------------------------------

### docker-compose.yml for Meowlnir

Source: https://docs.mau.fi/meowlnir/setup-docker.html

Example docker-compose.yml for running Meowlnir. Includes commented sections for port exposure and networking with Synapse. Adjust the volumes section if using an existing compose file.

```yaml
version: "3.7"

services:
  meowlnir:
    container_name: meowlnir
    image: dock.mau.dev/maunium/meowlnir:<version>
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
    - .:/data

    # If you put the service above in the same docker-compose as the homeserver,
    # ignore the parts below. Otherwise, see below for configuring networking.

    # If synapse is running outside of docker, you'll need to expose the port.
    # Note that in most cases you should either run everything inside docker
    # or everything outside docker, rather than mixing docker things with
    # non-docker things.
    #ports:
    #- "29339:29339"
    # You'll also probably want this so Meowlnir can reach Synapse directly
    # using something like `http://host.docker.internal:8008` as the address:
    #extra_hosts:
    #- "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"

    # If synapse is in a different network, then add this container to that network.
    #networks:
    #- synapsenet
# This is also a part of the networks thing above
#networks:
#  synapsenet:
#    external:
#      name: synapsenet
```

### Appservice registration file for Meowlnir

Source: https://docs.mau.fi/meowlnir/config.html

YAML registration file for Meowlnir appservice. Must match the Meowlnir config exactly. Includes required namespaces and encryption-related flags.

```yaml
# ID and tokens must be exactly the same as in the Meowlnir config.
id: ...
as_token: ...
hs_token: ...
# The URL where the homeserver can reach Meowlnir.
url: http://localhost:29339
# This doesn't matter, just needs to be unique.
sender_localpart: any random string here
# Meowlnir will not handle ratelimits, so this must be false.
rate_limited: false
# Meowlnir uses MSC3202, MSC4190 and MSC4203 for encryption,
# so they must be enabled if you want encryption support.
org.matrix.msc3202: true
io.element.msc4190: true
# push_ephemeral is the old name of receive_ephemeral, as Synapse hasn't stabilized MSC2409 support yet.
# Enabling 2409/receive_ephemeral is required for MSC4203, but is not otherwise used by Meowlnir.
de.sorunome.msc2409.push_ephemeral: true
receive_ephemeral: true
# Add the bots you want here. If you only want one bot, a static regex is enough.
# Multiple bots are supported too and can be dynamically added if you set a non-static regex (e.g. `@moderation_.+:example\.com`)
namespaces:
  users:
  - regex: '@abuse:example\.com'
    exclusive: true

Configure the synapse-http-antispam module to block invites based on Meowlnir policy lists. Set base_url to the Meowlnir antispam endpoint with the management room ID, and authorization to the antispam.secret value. The user_may_invite callback blocks invites from banned users, while user_may_join_room tracks accepted invites and, if auto_reject_invites_token is set, automatically rejects pending invites from banned users.

```yaml
modules:
  - module: synapse_http_antispam.HTTPAntispam
    config:
      base_url: http://localhost:29339/_meowlnir/antispam/<management room ID>
      authorization: <value of antispam.secret>
