# Controlling Matrix federation (optional)
|
|
|
|
By default, your server federates with the whole Matrix network.
|
|
That is, people on your server can communicate with people on any other Matrix server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Federating only with select servers
|
|
|
|
To make your server only federate with servers of your choosing, add this to your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_synapse_federation_domain_whitelist:
|
|
- example.com
|
|
- another.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you wish to disable federation, you can do that with an empty list (`[]`), or better yet by completely disabling federation (see below).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Disabling federation
|
|
|
|
To completely disable federation, isolating your server from the rest of the Matrix network, add this to your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_synapse_federation_enabled: false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With that, your server's users will only be able to talk among themselves, but not to anyone who is on another server.
