I looked into the github repo for the open source version and found the images used. It looks like it uses the open source synapse app, so it suppprts whatever the synapse server supports. Unfortunately the operator wouldn’t fully support the new matrix 2.0 sliding sync / OIDC auth currently and since its the same synapse server it doesn’t support high availability which partially ruins the point of k8s.
That being said it does seem to have some support for workers, but it seems to be a WIP and that definitely could save some time setting up workers since it can get quite complex. They have a basis for making secific worker types where you simply specify the type and it would theoretically start the worker and have it properly work with your proxy.
3 days don’t sound so bad for a hurricane of this calibre. I had an outage for 6 days from a severe wind storm. Took down a ton of trees one being two houses down that was enormous and took down a power line with it. After that incident though my power company contracts a bunch of people to drive into town for extra help when there is another severe storm.
