 MSC3266 allows to request a room summary of rooms you are not joined.
 The summary contains the room join rules. We need that to decide if the user gets prompted with the option to knock ("ask to join"), a cannot join error or the join view.

+A docker compose file `dev-backend-docker-compose.yml` is provided to start the

+- Minimum Synapse Setup (servername: synapse.localhost)
+- LiveKit JWT Service (Note requires Federation API and hence a TLS reverse proxy)
+- Minimum TLS reverse proxy (servername: synapse.localhost) Note certificates
+  are valid for at least 10 years from now
+- Minimum LiveKit SFU Setup using dev defaults for config
+- Redis db for completness
