==== Livekit ====
In order to set up element call or for calls to work in Element X it is necessary to set up and announce livekit. To set up livekit for matrix in nixos use<syntaxhighlight lang="nix" line="1">
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }: let
  keyFile = "/run/livekit.key";
in {
  services.livekit = {
    enable = true;
    openFirewall = true;
    settings.room.auto_create = false;
    inherit keyFile;
  };
  services.lk-jwt-service = {
    enable = true;
    # can be on the same virtualHost as synapse
    livekitUrl = "wss://domain.tld/livekit/sfu";
    inherit keyFile;
  };
  # generate the key when needed
  systemd.services.livekit-key = {
    before = [ "lk-jwt-service.service" "livekit.service" ];
    wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
    path = with pkgs; [ livekit coreutils gawk ];
    script = ''
        echo "Key missing, generating key"
        echo "lk-jwt-service: $(livekit-server generate-keys | tail -1 | awk '{print $3}')" > "${keyFile}"
    '';
    serviceConfig.Type = "oneshot";
    unitConfig.ConditionPathExists = "!${keyFile}";
  };
  # restrict access to livekit room creation to a homeserver
  systemd.services.lk-jwt-service.environment.LIVEKIT_FULL_ACCESS_HOMESERVERS = "domain.tld";
  services.nginx.virtualHosts."domain.tld".locations = {
    "^~ /livekit/jwt/" = {
      priority = 400;
      proxyPass = "http://[::1]:${toString config.services.lk-jwt-service.port}/";
    };
    "^~ /livekit/sfu/" = {
      extraConfig = ''
        proxy_send_timeout 120;
        proxy_read_timeout 120;
        proxy_buffering off;
        proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding gzip;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
      '';
      priority = 400;
      proxyPass = "http://[::1]:${toString config.services.livekit.settings.port}/";
      proxyWebsockets = true;
    };
  };
}
</syntaxhighlight>Furthermore, it is necessary to announce the service with a <code>domain.tld/.well-known/matrix/client</code> which needs to be served as <code>Content-Type application/json</code> (calls in Element X might not work without the content-type) and contain<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
{
  "m.homeserver": {
    "base_url": "https://domain.tld"
  },
  "m.identity_server": {
    "base_url": "https://vector.im"
  },
  "org.matrix.msc3575.proxy": {
    "url": "https://domain.tld"
  },
  "org.matrix.msc4143.rtc_foci": [
    {
