Hi, folks! I've already create my own server for Matrix, and now I'm trying to set up Cinny for anyone can use my server from a browser.

But Cinny writes me:

Failed to connect. Homeserver configuration found with my homeserver name appears unusable.

When I'm trying to choose my server from a list.

Here's the config file of Cinny:

{
  "defaultHomeserver": 2,
  "homeserverList": [
    "my.server.org",
    "matrix.org"
  ],
  "allowCustomHomeservers": true,

  "featuredCommunities": {
    "openAsDefault": false,
    "spaces": [
      "#cinny-space:matrix.org",
      "#community:matrix.org"
    ],
    "rooms": [
      "#cinny:matrix.org"
    ],
    "servers": ["my.server.org", "matrix.org"]
  },

  "hashRouter": {
    "enabled": true,
    "basename": "/"
  }
}

But when I'm trying to use Cinny from it website - everything works fine. But when I'm trying to use this from my self-hosted variant - I gets this error.

So, what do I do wrong, people? ๐Ÿค”

Failed to load client configuration file.

JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

If I choose "Continue", I can use only "matrix.org" as a home server. And nothing more(

With the config file, does matrix.org still work?

As without, as with.

Then, for some reason, the cinny client can't connect to your homeserver.

Did you try loading up the client on a different device?

No.

I meant loading up your instance of cinny, but on a different device.

I've try it now from my Android. But there's the same problem(

Weird.

I'm not sure what you should try next, but it seems pretty clear the problem lies eith your cinny instance.
