<h2 id="choosing-your-server-name"><a class="header" href="#choosing-your-server-name">Choosing your server name</a></h2>
<p>It is important to choose the name for your server before you install Synapse,
because it cannot be changed later.</p>
<p>The server name determines the "domain" part of user-ids for users on your
server: these will all be of the format <code>@user:my.domain.name</code>. It also
determines how other matrix servers will reach yours for federation.</p>
<p>For a test configuration, set this to the hostname of your server. For a more
production-ready setup, you will probably want to specify your domain
(<code>example.com</code>) rather than a matrix-specific hostname here (in the same way
that your email address is probably <code>user@example.com</code> rather than
<code>user@email.example.com</code>) - but doing so may require more advanced setup: see
<a href="setup/../federate.html">Setting up Federation</a>.</p>
<h2 id="installing-synapse"><a class="header" href="#installing-synapse">Installing Synapse</a></h2>
<h3 id="installing-from-source"><a class="header" href="#installing-from-source">Installing from source</a></h3>
<p>(Prebuilt packages are available for some platforms - see <a href="setup/installation.html#prebuilt-packages">Prebuilt packages</a>.)</p>
<p>When installing from source please make sure that the <a href="setup/installation.html#platform-specific-prerequisites">Platform-specific prerequisites</a> are already installed.</p>
<p>System requirements:</p>
<ul>
<li>POSIX-compliant system (tested on Linux & OS X)</li>
<li>Python 3.5.2 or later, up to Python 3.9.</li>
<li>At least 1GB of free RAM if you want to join large public rooms like #matrix:matrix.org</li>
</ul>
<p>To install the Synapse homeserver run:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">mkdir -p ~/synapse
virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env
source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install matrix-synapse
</code></pre>
<p>This will download Synapse from <a href="https://pypi.org/project/matrix-synapse">PyPI</a>
and install it, along with the python libraries it uses, into a virtual environment
under <code>~/synapse/env</code>. Feel free to pick a different directory if you
prefer.</p>
<p>This Synapse installation can then be later upgraded by using pip again with the
update flag:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
pip install -U matrix-synapse
</code></pre>
<p>Before you can start Synapse, you will need to generate a configuration
file. To do this, run (in your virtualenv, as before):</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">cd ~/synapse
python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
--server-name my.domain.name \
--config-path homeserver.yaml \
--generate-config \
--report-stats=[yes|no]
</code></pre>
<p>... substituting an appropriate value for <code>--server-name</code>.</p>
<p>This command will generate you a config file that you can then customise, but it will
also generate a set of keys for you. These keys will allow your homeserver to
identify itself to other homeserver, so don't lose or delete them. It would be
wise to back them up somewhere safe. (If, for whatever reason, you do need to
change your homeserver's keys, you may find that other homeserver have the
old key cached. If you update the signing key, you should change the name of the
key in the <code><server name>.signing.key</code> file (the second word) to something
different. See the <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/latest.html#retrieving-server-keys">spec</a> for more information on key management).</p>
<p>To actually run your new homeserver, pick a working directory for Synapse to
run (e.g. <code>~/synapse</code>), and:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">cd ~/synapse
source env/bin/activate
synctl start
</code></pre>
<h4 id="platform-specific-prerequisites"><a class="header" href="#platform-specific-prerequisites">Platform-specific prerequisites</a></h4>
<p>Synapse is written in Python but some of the libraries it uses are written in
C. So before we can install Synapse itself we need a working C compiler and the
header files for Python C extensions.</p>
<h5 id="debianubunturaspbian"><a class="header" href="#debianubunturaspbian">Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian</a></h5>
<p>Installing prerequisites on Ubuntu or Debian:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev libffi-dev \
python3-pip python3-setuptools sqlite3 \
libssl-dev virtualenv libjpeg-dev libxslt1-dev
</code></pre>
<h5 id="archlinux"><a class="header" href="#archlinux">ArchLinux</a></h5>
<p>Installing prerequisites on ArchLinux:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">sudo pacman -S base-devel python python-pip \
python-setuptools python-virtualenv sqlite3
</code></pre>
<h5 id="centosfedora"><a class="header" href="#centosfedora">CentOS/Fedora</a></h5>
<p>Installing prerequisites on CentOS or Fedora Linux:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">sudo dnf install libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libzip-devel freetype-devel \
libwebp-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libpq-devel \
python3-virtualenv libffi-devel openssl-devel python3-devel
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"
</code></pre>
<h5 id="macos"><a class="header" href="#macos">macOS</a></h5>
<p>Installing prerequisites on macOS:</p>
<p>You may need to install the latest Xcode developer tools:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">xcode-select --install
</code></pre>
<p>On ARM-based Macs you may need to explicitly install libjpeg which is a pillow dependency. You can use Homebrew (https://brew.sh):</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh"> brew install jpeg
</code></pre>
<p>On macOS Catalina (10.15) you may need to explicitly install OpenSSL
via brew and inform <code>pip</code> about it so that <code>psycopg2</code> builds:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">brew install openssl@1.1
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
</code></pre>
<h5 id="opensuse"><a class="header" href="#opensuse">OpenSUSE</a></h5>
<p>Installing prerequisites on openSUSE:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">sudo zypper in -t pattern devel_basis
sudo zypper in python-pip python-setuptools sqlite3 python-virtualenv \
python-devel libffi-devel libopenssl-devel libjpeg62-devel
</code></pre>
<h5 id="openbsd"><a class="header" href="#openbsd">OpenBSD</a></h5>
<p>A port of Synapse is available under <code>net/synapse</code>. The filesystem
underlying the homeserver directory (defaults to <code>/var/synapse</code>) has to be
mounted with <code>wxallowed</code> (cf. <code>mount(8)</code>), so creating a separate filesystem
and mounting it to <code>/var/synapse</code> should be taken into consideration.</p>
<p>To be able to build Synapse's dependency on python the <code>WRKOBJDIR</code>
(cf. <code>bsd.port.mk(5)</code>) for building python, too, needs to be on a filesystem
mounted with <code>wxallowed</code> (cf. <code>mount(8)</code>).</p>
<p>Creating a <code>WRKOBJDIR</code> for building python under <code>/usr/local</code> (which on a
default OpenBSD installation is mounted with <code>wxallowed</code>):</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">doas mkdir /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
</code></pre>
<p>Assuming <code>PORTS_PRIVSEP=Yes</code> (cf. <code>bsd.port.mk(5)</code>) and <code>SUDO=doas</code> are
configured in <code>/etc/mk.conf</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">doas chown _pbuild:_pbuild /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
</code></pre>
<p>Setting the <code>WRKOBJDIR</code> for building python:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">echo WRKOBJDIR_lang/python/3.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed \\nWRKOBJDIR_lang/python/2.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed >> /etc/mk.conf
</code></pre>
<p>Building Synapse:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">cd /usr/ports/net/synapse
make install
</code></pre>
<h5 id="windows"><a class="header" href="#windows">Windows</a></h5>
<p>If you wish to run or develop Synapse on Windows, the Windows Subsystem For
Linux provides a Linux environment on Windows 10 which is capable of using the
Debian, Fedora, or source installation methods. More information about WSL can

<p>As of OpenBSD 6.7 Synapse is available as a pre-compiled binary. The filesystem
underlying the homeserver directory (defaults to <code>/var/synapse</code>) has to be
mounted with <code>wxallowed</code> (cf. <code>mount(8)</code>), so creating a separate filesystem
and mounting it to <code>/var/synapse</code> should be taken into consideration.</p>

<h2 id="setting-up-synapse"><a class="header" href="#setting-up-synapse">Setting up Synapse</a></h2>
<p>Once you have installed synapse as above, you will need to configure it.</p>
<h3 id="using-postgresql"><a class="header" href="#using-postgresql">Using PostgreSQL</a></h3>
<p>By default Synapse uses an <a href="https://sqlite.org/">SQLite</a> database and in doing so trades
performance for convenience. Almost all installations should opt to use <a href="https://www.postgresql.org">PostgreSQL</a>
instead. Advantages include:</p>
<ul>
<li>significant performance improvements due to the superior threading and
caching model, smarter query optimiser</li>
<li>allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware</li>
</ul>
<p>For information on how to install and use PostgreSQL in Synapse, please see
<a href="setup/../postgres.html">Using Postgres</a></p>
<p>SQLite is only acceptable for testing purposes. SQLite should not be used in
a production server. Synapse will perform poorly when using
SQLite, especially when participating in large rooms.</p>
<h3 id="tls-certificates"><a class="header" href="#tls-certificates">TLS certificates</a></h3>
<p>The default configuration exposes a single HTTP port on the local
interface: <code>http://localhost:8008</code>. It is suitable for local testing,
but for any practical use, you will need Synapse's APIs to be served
over HTTPS.</p>
<p>The recommended way to do so is to set up a reverse proxy on port
<code>8448</code>. You can find documentation on doing so in
<a href="setup/../reverse_proxy.html">the reverse proxy documentation</a>.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port. To do
so, you will need to edit <code>homeserver.yaml</code>, as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>First, under the <code>listeners</code> section, uncomment the configuration for the
TLS-enabled listener. (Remove the hash sign (<code>#</code>) at the start of
each line). The relevant lines are like this:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> - port: 8448
type: http
tls: true
resources:
- names: [client, federation]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>
<p>You will also need to uncomment the <code>tls_certificate_path</code> and
<code>tls_private_key_path</code> lines under the <code>TLS</code> section. You will need to manage
provisioning of these certificates yourself.</p>
<p>If you are using your own certificate, be sure to use a <code>.pem</code> file that
includes the full certificate chain including any intermediate certificates
(for instance, if using certbot, use <code>fullchain.pem</code> as your certificate, not
<code>cert.pem</code>).</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For a more detailed guide to configuring your server for federation, see
<a href="setup/../federate.html">Federation</a>.</p>
<h3 id="client-well-known-uri"><a class="header" href="#client-well-known-uri">Client Well-Known URI</a></h3>
<p>Setting up the client Well-Known URI is optional but if you set it up, it will
allow users to enter their full username (e.g. <code>@user:<server_name></code>) into clients
which support well-known lookup to automatically configure the homeserver and
identity server URLs. This is useful so that users don't have to memorize or think
about the actual homeserver URL you are using.</p>
<p>The URL <code>https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/client</code> should return JSON in
the following format.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"m.homeserver": {
"base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>It can optionally contain identity server information as well.</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"m.homeserver": {
"base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"
},
"m.identity_server": {
"base_url": "https://<identity.example.com>"
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>To work in browser based clients, the file must be served with the appropriate
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers. A recommended value would be
<code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *</code> which would allow all browser based clients to
view it.</p>
<p>In nginx this would be something like:</p>
<pre><code class="language-nginx">location /.well-known/matrix/client {
return 200 '{"m.homeserver": {"base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"}}';
default_type application/json;
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
}
</code></pre>
<p>You should also ensure the <code>public_baseurl</code> option in <code>homeserver.yaml</code> is set
correctly. <code>public_baseurl</code> should be set to the URL that clients will use to
connect to your server. This is the same URL you put for the <code>m.homeserver</code>
<code>base_url</code> above.</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">public_baseurl: "https://<matrix.example.com>"
</code></pre>
<h3 id="email"><a class="header" href="#email">Email</a></h3>
<p>It is desirable for Synapse to have the capability to send email. This allows
Synapse to send password reset emails, send verifications when an email address
is added to a user's account, and send email notifications to users when they
receive new messages.</p>
<p>To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
headed <code>email</code>, and be sure to have at least the <code>smtp_host</code>, <code>smtp_port</code>
and <code>notif_from</code> fields filled out. You may also need to set <code>smtp_user</code>,
<code>smtp_pass</code>, and <code>require_transport_security</code>.</p>
<p>If email is not configured, password reset, registration and notifications via
email will be disabled.</p>
<h3 id="registering-a-user"><a class="header" href="#registering-a-user">Registering a user</a></h3>
<p>The easiest way to create a new user is to do so from a client like <a href="https://element.io/">Element</a>.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can do so from the command line. This can be done as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>If synapse was installed via pip, activate the virtualenv as follows (if Synapse was
installed via a prebuilt package, <code>register_new_matrix_user</code> should already be
on the search path):
<pre><code class="language-sh">cd ~/synapse
source env/bin/activate
synctl start # if not already running
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>Run the following command:
<pre><code class="language-sh">register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
<p>This will prompt you to add details for the new user, and will then connect to
the running Synapse to create the new user. For example:</p>
<pre><code>New user localpart: erikj
Password:
Confirm password:
Make admin [no]:
Success!
</code></pre>
<p>This process uses a setting <code>registration_shared_secret</code> in
<code>homeserver.yaml</code>, which is shared between Synapse itself and the
<code>register_new_matrix_user</code> script. It doesn't matter what it is (a random
value is generated by <code>--generate-config</code>), but it should be kept secret, as
anyone with knowledge of it can register users, including admin accounts,
on your server even if <code>enable_registration</code> is <code>false</code>.</p>
<h3 id="setting-up-a-turn-server"><a class="header" href="#setting-up-a-turn-server">Setting up a TURN server</a></h3>
<p>For reliable VoIP calls to be routed via this homeserver, you MUST configure
a TURN server. See <a href="setup/../turn-howto.html">TURN setup</a> for details.</p>
<h3 id="url-previews"><a class="header" href="#url-previews">URL previews</a></h3>
<p>Synapse includes support for previewing URLs, which is disabled by default. To
turn it on you must enable the <code>url_preview_enabled: True</code> config parameter
and explicitly specify the IP ranges that Synapse is not allowed to spider for
previewing in the <code>url_preview_ip_range_blacklist</code> configuration parameter.
This is critical from a security perspective to stop arbitrary Matrix users
spidering 'internal' URLs on your network. At the very least we recommend that
your loopback and RFC1918 IP addresses are blacklisted.</p>
<p>This also requires the optional <code>lxml</code> python dependency to be installed. This
in turn requires the <code>libxml2</code> library to be available - on Debian/Ubuntu this
means <code>apt-get install libxml2-dev</code>, or equivalent for your OS.</p>
<h3 id="troubleshooting-installation"><a class="header" href="#troubleshooting-installation">Troubleshooting Installation</a></h3>
<p><code>pip</code> seems to leak <em>lots</em> of memory during installation. For instance, a Linux
host with 512MB of RAM may run out of memory whilst installing Twisted. If this
happens, you will have to individually install the dependencies which are
failing, e.g.:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">pip install twisted
</code></pre>

<p>Synapse supports PostgreSQL versions 9.6 or later.</p>
<h2 id="install-postgres-client-libraries"><a class="header" href="#install-postgres-client-libraries">Install postgres client libraries</a></h2>
<p>Synapse will require the python postgres client library in order to
connect to a postgres database.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If you are using the <a href="setup/installation.html#matrixorg-packages">matrix.org debian/ubuntu
packages</a>, the necessary python
library will already be installed, but you will need to ensure the
low-level postgres library is installed, which you can do with
<code>apt install libpq5</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For other pre-built packages, please consult the documentation from
the relevant package.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you installed synapse <a href="setup/installation.html#installing-from-source">in a
virtualenv</a>, you can install
the library with:</p>
<pre><code>~/synapse/env/bin/pip install "matrix-synapse[postgres]"
</code></pre>
<p>(substituting the path to your virtualenv for <code>~/synapse/env</code>, if
you used a different path). You will require the postgres
development files. These are in the <code>libpq-dev</code> package on
Debian-derived distributions.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="set-up-database"><a class="header" href="#set-up-database">Set up database</a></h2>
<p>Assuming your PostgreSQL database user is called <code>postgres</code>, first authenticate as the database user with:</p>
<pre><code>su - postgres
# Or, if your system uses sudo to get administrative rights
sudo -u postgres bash
</code></pre>
<p>Then, create a postgres user and a database with:</p>
<pre><code># this will prompt for a password for the new user
createuser --pwprompt synapse_user
createdb --encoding=UTF8 --locale=C --template=template0 --owner=synapse_user synapse
</code></pre>
<p>The above will create a user called <code>synapse_user</code>, and a database called
<code>synapse</code>.</p>
<p>Note that the PostgreSQL database <em>must</em> have the correct encoding set
(as shown above), otherwise it will not be able to store UTF8 strings.</p>
<p>You may need to enable password authentication so <code>synapse_user</code> can
connect to the database. See
<a href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html">https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html</a>.</p>
<h2 id="synapse-config"><a class="header" href="#synapse-config">Synapse config</a></h2>
<p>When you are ready to start using PostgreSQL, edit the <code>database</code>
section in your config file to match the following lines:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">database:
name: psycopg2
args:
user: <user>
password: <pass>
database: <db>
host: <host>
cp_min: 5
cp_max: 10
</code></pre>
<p>All key, values in <code>args</code> are passed to the <code>psycopg2.connect(..)</code>
function, except keys beginning with <code>cp_</code>, which are consumed by the
twisted adbapi connection pool. See the <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-PARAMKEYWORDS">libpq
documentation</a>
for a list of options which can be passed.</p>
<p>You should consider tuning the <code>args.keepalives_*</code> options if there is any danger of
the connection between your homeserver and database dropping, otherwise Synapse
may block for an extended period while it waits for a response from the
database server. Example values might be:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">database:
args:
# ... as above
# seconds of inactivity after which TCP should send a keepalive message to the server
keepalives_idle: 10
# the number of seconds after which a TCP keepalive message that is not
# acknowledged by the server should be retransmitted
keepalives_interval: 10
# the number of TCP keepalives that can be lost before the client's connection
# to the server is considered dead
keepalives_count: 3
</code></pre>
<h2 id="tuning-postgres"><a class="header" href="#tuning-postgres">Tuning Postgres</a></h2>

<li><code>effective_cache_size</code></li>
<li><code>work_mem</code></li>
<li><code>maintenance_work_mem</code></li>

<h2 id="porting-from-sqlite"><a class="header" href="#porting-from-sqlite">Porting from SQLite</a></h2>
<h3 id="overview"><a class="header" href="#overview">Overview</a></h3>
<p>The script <code>synapse_port_db</code> allows porting an existing synapse server
backed by SQLite to using PostgreSQL. This is done in as a two phase
process:</p>
<ol>
<li>Copy the existing SQLite database to a separate location and run
the port script against that offline database.</li>
<li>Shut down the server. Rerun the port script to port any data that
has come in since taking the first snapshot. Restart server against
the PostgreSQL database.</li>
</ol>
<p>The port script is designed to be run repeatedly against newer snapshots
of the SQLite database file. This makes it safe to repeat step 1 if
there was a delay between taking the previous snapshot and being ready
to do step 2.</p>
<p>It is safe to at any time kill the port script and restart it.</p>
<p>Note that the database may take up significantly more (25% - 100% more)
space on disk after porting to Postgres.</p>
<h3 id="using-the-port-script"><a class="header" href="#using-the-port-script">Using the port script</a></h3>
<p>Firstly, shut down the currently running synapse server and copy its
database file (typically <code>homeserver.db</code>) to another location. Once the
copy is complete, restart synapse. For instance:</p>
<pre><code>./synctl stop
cp homeserver.db homeserver.db.snapshot
./synctl start
</code></pre>
<p>Copy the old config file into a new config file:</p>
<pre><code>cp homeserver.yaml homeserver-postgres.yaml
</code></pre>
<p>Edit the database section as described in the section <em>Synapse config</em>
above and with the SQLite snapshot located at <code>homeserver.db.snapshot</code>
simply run:</p>
<pre><code>synapse_port_db --sqlite-database homeserver.db.snapshot \
--postgres-config homeserver-postgres.yaml
</code></pre>
<p>The flag <code>--curses</code> displays a coloured curses progress UI.</p>
<p>If the script took a long time to complete, or time has otherwise passed
since the original snapshot was taken, repeat the previous steps with a
newer snapshot.</p>
<p>To complete the conversion shut down the synapse server and run the port
script one last time, e.g. if the SQLite database is at <code>homeserver.db</code>
run:</p>
<pre><code>synapse_port_db --sqlite-database homeserver.db \
--postgres-config homeserver-postgres.yaml
</code></pre>
<p>Once that has completed, change the synapse config to point at the
PostgreSQL database configuration file <code>homeserver-postgres.yaml</code>:</p>
<pre><code>./synctl stop
mv homeserver.yaml homeserver-old-sqlite.yaml
mv homeserver-postgres.yaml homeserver.yaml
./synctl start
</code></pre>
<p>Synapse should now be running against PostgreSQL.</p>

<h3 id="alternative-auth-methods"><a class="header" href="#alternative-auth-methods">Alternative auth methods</a></h3>
<p>If you get an error along the lines of <code>FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "synapse_user"</code>, you may need to use an authentication method other than
<code>ident</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If the <code>synapse_user</code> user has a password, add the password to the <code>database:</code>
section of <code>homeserver.yaml</code>. Then add the following to <code>pg_hba.conf</code>:</p>
<pre><code>host synapse synapse_user ::1/128 md5 # or `scram-sha-256` instead of `md5` if you use that
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the <code>synapse_user</code> user does not have a password, then a password doesn't
have to be added to <code>homeserver.yaml</code>. But the following does need to be added
to <code>pg_hba.conf</code>:</p>
<pre><code>host synapse synapse_user ::1/128 trust
</code></pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that line order matters in <code>pg_hba.conf</code>, so make sure that if you do add a
new line, it is inserted before:</p>
<pre><code>host all all ::1/128 ident
</code></pre>
<h3 id="fixing-incorrect-collate-or-ctype"><a class="header" href="#fixing-incorrect-collate-or-ctype">Fixing incorrect <code>COLLATE</code> or <code>CTYPE</code></a></h3>
<p>Synapse will refuse to set up a new database if it has the wrong values of
<code>COLLATE</code> and <code>CTYPE</code> set, and will log warnings on existing databases. Using
different locales can cause issues if the locale library is updated from
underneath the database, or if a different version of the locale is used on any
replicas.</p>
<p>The safest way to fix the issue is to dump the database and recreate it with
the correct locale parameter (as shown above). It is also possible to change the
parameters on a live database and run a <code>REINDEX</code> on the entire database,
however extreme care must be taken to avoid database corruption.</p>
<p>Note that the above may fail with an error about duplicate rows if corruption
has already occurred, and such duplicate rows will need to be manually removed.</p>
<h3 id="fixing-inconsistent-sequences-error"><a class="header" href="#fixing-inconsistent-sequences-error">Fixing inconsistent sequences error</a></h3>
<p>Synapse uses Postgres sequences to generate IDs for various tables. A sequence
and associated table can get out of sync if, for example, Synapse has been
downgraded and then upgraded again.</p>
<p>To fix the issue shut down Synapse (including any and all workers) and run the

<p>It is recommended to put a reverse proxy such as
<a href="https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html">nginx</a>,
<a href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy_http.html">Apache</a>,
<a href="https://caddyserver.com/docs/quick-starts/reverse-proxy">Caddy</a>,
<a href="https://www.haproxy.org/">HAProxy</a> or
<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/relayd.8">relayd</a> in front of Synapse. One advantage
of doing so is that it means that you can expose the default https port
(443) to Matrix clients without needing to run Synapse with root
privileges.</p>
<p>You should configure your reverse proxy to forward requests to <code>/_matrix</code> or
<code>/_synapse/client</code> to Synapse, and have it set the <code>X-Forwarded-For</code> and
<code>X-Forwarded-Proto</code> request headers.</p>
<p>You should remember that Matrix clients and other Matrix servers do not
necessarily need to connect to your server via the same server name or
port. Indeed, clients will use port 443 by default, whereas servers default to
port 8448. Where these are different, we refer to the 'client port' and the
'federation port'. See <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/latest#resolving-server-names">the Matrix
specification</a>
for more details of the algorithm used for federation connections, and
<a href="delegate.html">Delegation</a> for instructions on setting up delegation.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: Your reverse proxy must not <code>canonicalise</code> or <code>normalise</code>
the requested URI in any way (for example, by decoding <code>%xx</code> escapes).
Beware that Apache <em>will</em> canonicalise URIs unless you specify
<code>nocanon</code>.</p>
<p>Let's assume that we expect clients to connect to our server at
<code>https://matrix.example.com</code>, and other servers to connect at
<code>https://example.com:8448</code>. The following sections detail the configuration of
the reverse proxy and the homeserver.</p>

<h2 id="synapse-administration-endpoints"><a class="header" href="#synapse-administration-endpoints">Synapse administration endpoints</a></h2>
<p>Endpoints for administering your Synapse instance are placed under

we do not recommend exposing them to the public internet without good reason.</p>

<p>This document explains how to enable VoIP relaying on your Home Server with
TURN.</p>
<p>The synapse Matrix Home Server supports integration with TURN server via the
<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-uberti-behave-turn-rest-00">TURN server REST API</a>. This
allows the Home Server to generate credentials that are valid for use on the
TURN server through the use of a secret shared between the Home Server and the
TURN server.</p>
<p>The following sections describe how to install <a href="https://github.com/coturn/coturn">coturn</a> (which implements the TURN REST API) and integrate it with synapse.</p>
<h2 id="requirements"><a class="header" href="#requirements">Requirements</a></h2>
<p>For TURN relaying with <code>coturn</code> to work, it must be hosted on a server/endpoint with a public IP.</p>
<p>Hosting TURN behind a NAT (even with appropriate port forwarding) is known to cause issues
and to often not work.</p>
<h2 id="coturn-setup"><a class="header" href="#coturn-setup"><code>coturn</code> setup</a></h2>
<h3 id="initial-installation"><a class="header" href="#initial-installation">Initial installation</a></h3>
<p>The TURN daemon <code>coturn</code> is available from a variety of sources such as native package managers, or installation from source.</p>
<h4 id="debian-installation"><a class="header" href="#debian-installation">Debian installation</a></h4>
<p>Just install the debian package:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">apt install coturn
</code></pre>
<p>This will install and start a systemd service called <code>coturn</code>.</p>
<h4 id="source-installation"><a class="header" href="#source-installation">Source installation</a></h4>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Download the <a href="https://github.com/coturn/coturn/releases/latest">latest release</a> from github. Unpack it and <code>cd</code> into the directory.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Configure it:</p>
<pre><code>./configure
</code></pre>
<p>You may need to install <code>libevent2</code>: if so, you should do so in
the way recommended by your operating system. You can ignore
warnings about lack of database support: a database is unnecessary
for this purpose.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Build and install it:</p>
<pre><code>make
make install
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="configuration"><a class="header" href="#configuration">Configuration</a></h3>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Create or edit the config file in <code>/etc/turnserver.conf</code>. The relevant
lines, with example values, are:</p>
<pre><code>use-auth-secret
static-auth-secret=[your secret key here]
realm=turn.myserver.org
</code></pre>
<p>See <code>turnserver.conf</code> for explanations of the options. One way to generate
the <code>static-auth-secret</code> is with <code>pwgen</code>:</p>
<pre><code>pwgen -s 64 1
</code></pre>
<p>A <code>realm</code> must be specified, but its value is somewhat arbitrary. (It is
sent to clients as part of the authentication flow.) It is conventional to
set it to be your server name.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You will most likely want to configure coturn to write logs somewhere. The
easiest way is normally to send them to the syslog:</p>
<pre><code>syslog
</code></pre>
<p>(in which case, the logs will be available via <code>journalctl -u coturn</code> on a
systemd system). Alternatively, coturn can be configured to write to a
logfile - check the example config file supplied with coturn.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Consider your security settings. TURN lets users request a relay which will
connect to arbitrary IP addresses and ports. The following configuration is
suggested as a minimum starting point:</p>
<pre><code># VoIP traffic is all UDP. There is no reason to let users connect to arbitrary TCP endpoints via the relay.
no-tcp-relay
# don't let the relay ever try to connect to private IP address ranges within your network (if any)
# given the turn server is likely behind your firewall, remember to include any privileged public IPs too.
denied-peer-ip=10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
denied-peer-ip=192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
denied-peer-ip=172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
# special case the turn server itself so that client->TURN->TURN->client flows work
allowed-peer-ip=10.0.0.1
# consider whether you want to limit the quota of relayed streams per user (or total) to avoid risk of DoS.
user-quota=12 # 4 streams per video call, so 12 streams = 3 simultaneous relayed calls per user.
total-quota=1200
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Also consider supporting TLS/DTLS. To do this, add the following settings
to <code>turnserver.conf</code>:</p>
<pre><code># TLS certificates, including intermediate certs.
# For Let's Encrypt certificates, use `fullchain.pem` here.
cert=/path/to/fullchain.pem
# TLS private key file
pkey=/path/to/privkey.pem
</code></pre>
<p>In this case, replace the <code>turn:</code> schemes in the <code>turn_uri</code> settings below
with <code>turns:</code>.</p>
<p>We recommend that you only try to set up TLS/DTLS once you have set up a
basic installation and got it working.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Ensure your firewall allows traffic into the TURN server on the ports
you've configured it to listen on (By default: 3478 and 5349 for TURN
traffic (remember to allow both TCP and UDP traffic), and ports 49152-65535
for the UDP relay.)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We do not recommend running a TURN server behind NAT, and are not aware of
anyone doing so successfully.</p>
<p>If you want to try it anyway, you will at least need to tell coturn its
external IP address:</p>
<pre><code>external-ip=192.88.99.1
</code></pre>
<p>... and your NAT gateway must forward all of the relayed ports directly
(eg, port 56789 on the external IP must be always be forwarded to port
56789 on the internal IP).</p>
<p>If you get this working, let us know!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>(Re)start the turn server:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If you used the Debian package (or have set up a systemd unit yourself):</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">systemctl restart coturn
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you installed from source:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">bin/turnserver -o
</code></pre>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="synapse-setup"><a class="header" href="#synapse-setup">Synapse setup</a></h2>
<p>Your home server configuration file needs the following extra keys:</p>
<ol>
<li>"<code>turn_uris</code>": This needs to be a yaml list of public-facing URIs
for your TURN server to be given out to your clients. Add separate
entries for each transport your TURN server supports.</li>
<li>"<code>turn_shared_secret</code>": This is the secret shared between your
Home server and your TURN server, so you should set it to the same
string you used in turnserver.conf.</li>
<li>"<code>turn_user_lifetime</code>": This is the amount of time credentials
generated by your Home Server are valid for (in milliseconds).
Shorter times offer less potential for abuse at the expense of
increased traffic between web clients and your home server to
refresh credentials. The TURN REST API specification recommends
one day (86400000).</li>
<li>"<code>turn_allow_guests</code>": Whether to allow guest users to use the
TURN server. This is enabled by default, as otherwise VoIP will
not work reliably for guests. However, it does introduce a
security risk as it lets guests connect to arbitrary endpoints
without having gone through a CAPTCHA or similar to register a
real account.</li>
</ol>
<p>As an example, here is the relevant section of the config file for <code>matrix.org</code>. The
<code>turn_uris</code> are appropriate for TURN servers listening on the default ports, with no TLS.</p>
<pre><code>turn_uris: [ "turn:turn.matrix.org?transport=udp", "turn:turn.matrix.org?transport=tcp" ]
turn_shared_secret: "n0t4ctuAllymatr1Xd0TorgSshar3d5ecret4obvIousreAsons"
turn_user_lifetime: 86400000
turn_allow_guests: True
</code></pre>
<p>After updating the homeserver configuration, you must restart synapse:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you use synctl:
<pre><code class="language-sh">cd /where/you/run/synapse
./synctl restart
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>If you use systemd:
<pre><code>systemctl restart matrix-synapse.service
</code></pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>... and then reload any clients (or wait an hour for them to refresh their
settings).</p>
<h2 id="troubleshooting-1"><a class="header" href="#troubleshooting-1">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
<p>The normal symptoms of a misconfigured TURN server are that calls between
devices on different networks ring, but get stuck at "call
connecting". Unfortunately, troubleshooting this can be tricky.</p>
<p>Here are a few things to try:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Check that your TURN server is not behind NAT. As above, we're not aware of
anyone who has successfully set this up.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Check that you have opened your firewall to allow TCP and UDP traffic to the
TURN ports (normally 3478 and 5479).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Check that you have opened your firewall to allow UDP traffic to the UDP
relay ports (49152-65535 by default).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Some WebRTC implementations (notably, that of Google Chrome) appear to get
confused by TURN servers which are reachable over IPv6 (this appears to be
an unexpected side-effect of its handling of multiple IP addresses as
defined by
<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-ip-handling-12"><code>draft-ietf-rtcweb-ip-handling</code></a>).</p>
<p>Try removing any AAAA records for your TURN server, so that it is only
reachable over IPv4.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Enable more verbose logging in coturn via the <code>verbose</code> setting:</p>
<pre><code>verbose
</code></pre>
<p>... and then see if there are any clues in its logs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you are using a browser-based client under Chrome, check
<code>chrome://webrtc-internals/</code> for insights into the internals of the
negotiation. On Firefox, check the "Connection Log" on <code>about:webrtc</code>.</p>
<p>(Understanding the output is beyond the scope of this document!)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You can test your Matrix homeserver TURN setup with https://test.voip.librepush.net/.
Note that this test is not fully reliable yet, so don't be discouraged if
the test fails.
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/voip-tester">Here</a> is the github repo of the
source of the tester, where you can file bug reports.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>There is a WebRTC test tool at
https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/trickle-ice/. To
use it, you will need a username/password for your TURN server. You can
either:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>look for the <code>GET /_matrix/client/r0/voip/turnServer</code> request made by a
matrix client to your homeserver in your browser's network inspector. In
the response you should see <code>username</code> and <code>password</code>. Or:</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use the following shell commands:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">secret=staticAuthSecretHere
u=$((`date +%s` + 3600)):test
p=$(echo -n $u | openssl dgst -hmac $secret -sha1 -binary | base64)
echo -e "username: $u\npassword: $p"
</code></pre>
<p>Or:</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Temporarily configure coturn to accept a static username/password. To do
this, comment out <code>use-auth-secret</code> and <code>static-auth-secret</code> and add the
following:</p>
<pre><code>lt-cred-mech
user=username:password
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: these settings will not take effect unless <code>use-auth-secret</code>
and <code>static-auth-secret</code> are disabled.</p>
<p>Restart coturn after changing the configuration file.</p>
<p>Remember to restore the original settings to go back to testing with
Matrix clients!</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If the TURN server is working correctly, you should see at least one <code>relay</code>
entry in the results.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="delegation"><a class="header" href="#delegation">Delegation</a></h1>
<p>By default, other homeservers will expect to be able to reach yours via
your <code>server_name</code>, on port 8448. For example, if you set your <code>server_name</code>
to <code>example.com</code> (so that your user names look like <code>@user:example.com</code>),
other servers will try to connect to yours at <code>https://example.com:8448/</code>.</p>
<p>Delegation is a Matrix feature allowing a homeserver admin to retain a
<code>server_name</code> of <code>example.com</code> so that user IDs, room aliases, etc continue
to look like <code>*:example.com</code>, whilst having federation traffic routed
to a different server and/or port (e.g. <code>synapse.example.com:443</code>).</p>
<h2 id="well-known-delegation"><a class="header" href="#well-known-delegation">.well-known delegation</a></h2>
<p>To use this method, you need to be able to alter the
<code>server_name</code> 's https server to serve the <code>/.well-known/matrix/server</code>
URL. Having an active server (with a valid TLS certificate) serving your
<code>server_name</code> domain is out of the scope of this documentation.</p>
<p>The URL <code>https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server</code> should
return a JSON structure containing the key <code>m.server</code> like so:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"m.server": "<synapse.server.name>[:<yourport>]"
}
</code></pre>
<p>In our example, this would mean that URL <code>https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server</code>
should return:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"m.server": "synapse.example.com:443"
}
</code></pre>
<p>Note, specifying a port is optional. If no port is specified, then it defaults
to 8448.</p>
<p>With .well-known delegation, federating servers will check for a valid TLS
certificate for the delegated hostname (in our example: <code>synapse.example.com</code>).</p>
<h2 id="srv-dns-record-delegation"><a class="header" href="#srv-dns-record-delegation">SRV DNS record delegation</a></h2>
<p>It is also possible to do delegation using a SRV DNS record. However, that is
considered an advanced topic since it's a bit complex to set up, and <code>.well-known</code>
delegation is already enough in most cases.</p>
<p>However, if you really need it, you can find some documentation on how such a
record should look like and how Synapse will use it in <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/latest#resolving-server-names">the Matrix
specification</a>.</p>
<h2 id="delegation-faq"><a class="header" href="#delegation-faq">Delegation FAQ</a></h2>
<h3 id="when-do-i-need-delegation"><a class="header" href="#when-do-i-need-delegation">When do I need delegation?</a></h3>
<p>If your homeserver's APIs are accessible on the default federation port (8448)
and the domain your <code>server_name</code> points to, you do not need any delegation.</p>
<p>For instance, if you registered <code>example.com</code> and pointed its DNS A record at a
fresh server, you could install Synapse on that host, giving it a <code>server_name</code>
of <code>example.com</code>, and once a reverse proxy has been set up to proxy all requests
sent to the port <code>8448</code> and serve TLS certificates for <code>example.com</code>, you
wouldn't need any delegation set up.</p>
<p><strong>However</strong>, if your homeserver's APIs aren't accessible on port 8448 and on the
domain <code>server_name</code> points to, you will need to let other servers know how to
find it using delegation.</p>
<h3 id="do-you-still-recommend-against-using-a-reverse-proxy-on-the-federation-port"><a class="header" href="#do-you-still-recommend-against-using-a-reverse-proxy-on-the-federation-port">Do you still recommend against using a reverse proxy on the federation port?</a></h3>
<p>We no longer actively recommend against using a reverse proxy. Many admins will
find it easier to direct federation traffic to a reverse proxy and manage their
own TLS certificates, and this is a supported configuration.</p>
<p>See <a href="reverse_proxy.html">the reverse proxy documentation</a> for information on setting up a
reverse proxy.</p>
<h3 id="do-i-still-need-to-give-my-tls-certificates-to-synapse-if-i-am-using-a-reverse-proxy"><a class="header" href="#do-i-still-need-to-give-my-tls-certificates-to-synapse-if-i-am-using-a-reverse-proxy">Do I still need to give my TLS certificates to Synapse if I am using a reverse proxy?</a></h3>
<p>This is no longer necessary. If you are using a reverse proxy for all of your
TLS traffic, then you can set <code>no_tls: True</code> in the Synapse config.</p>
<p>In that case, the only reason Synapse needs the certificate is to populate a legacy
<code>tls_fingerprints</code> field in the federation API. This is ignored by Synapse 0.99.0
and later, and the only time pre-0.99 Synapses will check it is when attempting to
fetch the server keys - and generally this is delegated via <code>matrix.org</code>, which
is running a modern version of Synapse.</p>

<p>No. There is nothing stopping you from using different certificates,
particularly if you are using a reverse proxy.</p>

<p>Before upgrading check if any special steps are required to upgrade from
the version you currently have installed to the current version of
Synapse. The extra instructions that may be required are listed later in
this document.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Check that your versions of Python and PostgreSQL are still
supported.</p>
<p>Synapse follows upstream lifecycles for <a href="https://endoflife.date/python">Python</a> and
<a href="https://endoflife.date/postgresql">PostgreSQL</a>, and removes support for versions
which are no longer maintained.</p>
<p>The website <a href="https://endoflife.date">https://endoflife.date</a> also offers convenient
summaries.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If Synapse was installed using <a href="setup/installation.html#prebuilt-packages">prebuilt
packages</a>, you will need to follow the
normal process for upgrading those packages.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If Synapse was installed from source, then:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Activate the virtualenv before upgrading. For example, if
Synapse is installed in a virtualenv in <code>~/synapse/env</code> then
run:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>If Synapse was installed using pip then upgrade to the latest
version by running:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">pip install --upgrade matrix-synapse
</code></pre>
<p>If Synapse was installed using git then upgrade to the latest
version by running:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">git pull
pip install --upgrade .
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restart Synapse:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">./synctl restart
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To check whether your update was successful, you can check the running
server version with:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash"># you may need to replace 'localhost:8008' if synapse is not configured
# to listen on port 8008.
curl http://localhost:8008/_synapse/admin/v1/server_version
</code></pre>
<h2 id="rolling-back-to-older-versions"><a class="header" href="#rolling-back-to-older-versions">Rolling back to older versions</a></h2>
<p>Rolling back to previous releases can be difficult, due to database
schema changes between releases. Where we have been able to test the
rollback process, this will be noted below.</p>
<p>In general, you will need to undo any changes made during the upgrade
process, for example:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>pip:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">source env/bin/activate
# replace `1.3.0` accordingly:
pip install matrix-synapse==1.3.0
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Debian:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash"># replace `1.3.0` and `stretch` accordingly:
wget https://packages.matrix.org/debian/pool/main/m/matrix-synapse-py3/matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb

<p>The current third-party rules module interface is deprecated in favour of the new generic

<h2 id="re-indexing-of-events-table-on-postgres-databases"><a class="header" href="#re-indexing-of-events-table-on-postgres-databases">Re-indexing of <code>events</code> table on Postgres databases</a></h2>
<p>This release includes a database schema update which requires re-indexing one of
the larger tables in the database, <code>events</code>. This could result in increased
disk I/O for several hours or days after upgrading while the migration
completes. Furthermore, because we have to keep the old indexes until the new
indexes are ready, it could result in a significant, temporary, increase in
disk space.</p>
<p>To get a rough idea of the disk space required, check the current size of one
of the indexes. For example, from a <code>psql</code> shell, run the following sql:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('events_order_room'));
</code></pre>
<p>We need to rebuild <strong>four</strong> indexes, so you will need to multiply this result
by four to give an estimate of the disk space required. For example, on one
particular server:</p>
<pre><code>synapse=# select pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('events_order_room'));
pg_size_pretty
----------------
288 MB
(1 row)
</code></pre>
<p>On this server, it would be wise to ensure that at least 1152MB are free.</p>
<p>The additional disk space will be freed once the migration completes.</p>
<p>SQLite databases are unaffected by this change.</p>

<p>When using Synapse with a reverse proxy (in particular, when using the

expects to receive an [X-Forwarded-Proto]{.title-ref} header on incoming
HTTP requests. If it is not set, Synapse will log a warning on each
received request.</p>
<p>To avoid the warning, administrators using a reverse proxy should ensure
that the reverse proxy sets [X-Forwarded-Proto]{.title-ref} header to
[https]{.title-ref} or [http]{.title-ref} to indicate the protocol used
by the client.</p>
<p>Synapse also requires the [Host]{.title-ref} header to be preserved.</p>
<p>See the <a href="../reverse_proxy.html">reverse proxy documentation</a>, where the
example configurations have been updated to show how to set these
headers.</p>

<p>This version changes the URI used for callbacks from OAuth2 and SAML2
identity providers:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If your server is configured for single sign-on via an OpenID
Connect or OAuth2 identity provider, you will need to add
<code>[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback</code> to the list
of permitted "redirect URIs" at the identity provider.</p>
<p>See the <a href="../openid.html">OpenID docs</a> for more information on setting
up OpenID Connect.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If your server is configured for single sign-on via a SAML2 identity
provider, you will need to add
<code>[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/authn_response</code> as a
permitted "ACS location" (also known as "allowed callback URLs")
at the identity provider.</p>
<p>The "Issuer" in the "AuthnRequest" to the SAML2 identity
provider is also updated to
<code>[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/metadata.xml</code>. If
your SAML2 identity provider uses this property to validate or
otherwise identify Synapse, its configuration will need to be
updated to use the new URL. Alternatively you could create a new,

<p>v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic
occurs, you may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse.
Because v1.26.0 also includes a new database schema version, reverting
that version is also required alongside the generic rollback
instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll back to v1.25.0 you need
to:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Stop the server</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Decrease the schema version in the database:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">UPDATE schema_version SET version = 58;

</li>
<li>
<p>Delete the ignored users & chain cover data:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ignored_users;
UPDATE rooms SET has_auth_chain_index = false;
</code></pre>
<p>For PostgreSQL run:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">TRUNCATE event_auth_chain_links;
TRUNCATE event_auth_chains;
</code></pre>
<p>For SQLite run:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;

<p>This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform

mapping provider to specify different algorithms, instead of the
<a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets">default
way</a>.</p>
<p>If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
([oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module]{.title-ref} is specified and
not equal to
[synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider]{.title-ref})
then you <em>must</em> ensure that [map_user_attributes]{.title-ref} of the
mapping provider performs some normalisation of the
[localpart]{.title-ref} returned. To match previous behaviour you can
use the [map_username_to_mxid_localpart]{.title-ref} function provided
by Synapse. An example is shown below:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart

<p>A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room
directory to be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly
from v1.2.1 or earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x.</p>
<p>This will <em>not</em> be a problem for Synapse installations which were:</p>
<p>: - created at v1.4.0 or later,
- upgraded via v1.3.x, or
- upgraded straight from v1.2.1 or earlier to v1.13.0 or later.</p>
<p>If completeness of the room directory is a concern, installations which
are affected can be repaired as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Run the following sql from a [psql]{.title-ref} or
[sqlite3]{.title-ref} console:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES

<p>v1.13.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic
occurs, you may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse.
Because v1.13.0 also includes a new database schema version, reverting
that version is also required alongside the generic rollback
instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll back to v1.12.4 you need
to:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Stop the server</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Decrease the schema version in the database:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">UPDATE schema_version SET version = 57;
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your
installation method in the "Rolling back to older versions"
section above.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v1120"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v1120">Upgrading to v1.12.0</a></h1>
<p>This version includes a database update which is run as part of the
upgrade, and which may take some time (several hours in the case of a
large server). Synapse will not respond to HTTP requests while this
update is taking place.</p>
<p>This is only likely to be a problem in the case of a server which is
participating in many rooms.</p>
<ol start="0">
<li>
<p>As with all upgrades, it is recommended that you have a recent
backup of your database which can be used for recovery in the event
of any problems.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>As an initial check to see if you will be affected, you can try
running the following query from the [psql]{.title-ref} or
[sqlite3]{.title-ref} console. It is safe to run it while Synapse is
still running.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">SELECT MAX(q.v) FROM (
SELECT (
SELECT ej.json AS v
FROM state_events se INNER JOIN event_json ej USING (event_id)
WHERE se.room_id=rooms.room_id AND se.type='m.room.create' AND se.state_key=''
LIMIT 1
) FROM rooms WHERE rooms.room_version IS NULL
) q;
</code></pre>
<p>This query will take about the same amount of time as the upgrade
process: ie, if it takes 5 minutes, then it is likely that Synapse
will be unresponsive for 5 minutes during the upgrade.</p>
<p>If you consider an outage of this duration to be acceptable, no
further action is necessary and you can simply start Synapse 1.12.0.</p>
<p>If you would prefer to reduce the downtime, continue with the steps
below.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The easiest workaround for this issue is to manually create a new
index before upgrading. On PostgreSQL, his can be done as follows:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index
ON state_events(room_id) WHERE type = 'm.room.create';
</code></pre>
<p>The above query may take some time, but is also safe to run while
Synapse is running.</p>
<p>We assume that no SQLite users have databases large enough to be
affected. If you <em>are</em> affected, you can run a similar query,
omitting the <code>CONCURRENTLY</code> keyword. Note however that this
operation may in itself cause Synapse to stop running for some time.
Synapse admins are reminded that <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/README.rst#using-postgresql">SQLite is not recommended for use
outside a test
environment</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once the index has been created, the <code>SELECT</code> query in step 1 above
should complete quickly. It is therefore safe to upgrade to Synapse
1.12.0.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once Synapse 1.12.0 has successfully started and is responding to
HTTP requests, the temporary index can be removed:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">DROP INDEX tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index;
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v1100"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v1100">Upgrading to v1.10.0</a></h1>

<h1 id="upgrading-to-v180"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v180">Upgrading to v1.8.0</a></h1>
<p>Specifying a <code>log_file</code> config option will now cause Synapse to refuse
to start, and should be replaced by with the <code>log_config</code> option.
Support for the <code>log_file</code> option was removed in v1.3.0 and has since
had no effect.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v170"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v170">Upgrading to v1.7.0</a></h1>
<p>In an attempt to configure Synapse in a privacy preserving way, the
default behaviours of <code>allow_public_rooms_without_auth</code> and
<code>allow_public_rooms_over_federation</code> have been inverted. This means that
by default, only authenticated users querying the Client/Server API will
be able to query the room directory, and relatedly that the server will
not share room directory information with other servers over federation.</p>
<p>If your installation does not explicitly set these settings one way or
the other and you want either setting to be <code>true</code> then it will
necessary to update your homeserver configuration file accordingly.</p>

<h2 id="3pid-verification-changes"><a class="header" href="#3pid-verification-changes">3pid verification changes</a></h2>
<p><strong>Note: As of this release, users will be unable to add phone numbers or
email addresses to their accounts, without changes to the Synapse
configuration. This includes adding an email address during
registration.</strong></p>
<p>It is possible for a user to associate an email address or phone number
with their account, for a number of reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>for use when logging in, as an alternative to the user id.</li>
<li>in the case of email, as an alternative contact to help with account
recovery.</li>
<li>in the case of email, to receive notifications of missed messages.</li>
</ul>
<p>Before an email address or phone number can be added to a user's
account, or before such an address is used to carry out a
password-reset, Synapse must confirm the operation with the owner of the
email address or phone number. It does this by sending an email or text
giving the user a link or token to confirm receipt. This process is
known as '3pid verification'. ('3pid', or 'threepid', stands for
third-party identifier, and we use it to refer to external identifiers
such as email addresses and phone numbers.)</p>
<p>Previous versions of Synapse delegated the task of 3pid verification to
an identity server by default. In most cases this server is <code>vector.im</code>
or <code>matrix.org</code>.</p>
<p>In Synapse 1.4.0, for security and privacy reasons, the homeserver will
no longer delegate this task to an identity server by default. Instead,
the server administrator will need to explicitly decide how they would
like the verification messages to be sent.</p>
<p>In the medium term, the <code>vector.im</code> and <code>matrix.org</code> identity servers
will disable support for delegated 3pid verification entirely. However,
in order to ease the transition, they will retain the capability for a
limited period. Delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday
2nd December 2019 (giving roughly 2 months notice). Disabling delegated
SMS verification will follow some time after that once SMS verification
support lands in Synapse.</p>
<p>Once delegated 3pid verification support has been disabled in the
<code>vector.im</code> and <code>matrix.org</code> identity servers, all Synapse versions that
depend on those instances will be unable to verify email and phone
numbers through them. There are no imminent plans to remove delegated
3pid verification from Sydent generally. (Sydent is the identity server
project that backs the <code>vector.im</code> and <code>matrix.org</code> instances).</p>
<h3 id="email-1"><a class="header" href="#email-1">Email</a></h3>
<p>Following upgrade, to continue verifying email (e.g. as part of the
registration process), admins can either:-</p>
<ul>
<li>Configure Synapse to use an email server.</li>
<li>Run or choose an identity server which allows delegated email
verification and delegate to it.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="configure-smtp-in-synapse"><a class="header" href="#configure-smtp-in-synapse">Configure SMTP in Synapse</a></h4>
<p>To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration
section headed <code>email</code>, and be sure to have at least the
<code>smtp_host, smtp_port</code> and <code>notif_from</code> fields filled out.</p>
<p>You may also need to set <code>smtp_user</code>, <code>smtp_pass</code>, and
<code>require_transport_security</code>.</p>
<p>See the <a href="docs/sample_config.yaml">sample configuration file</a> for more
details on these settings.</p>
<h4 id="delegate-email-to-an-identity-server"><a class="header" href="#delegate-email-to-an-identity-server">Delegate email to an identity server</a></h4>
<p>Some admins will wish to continue using email verification as part of
the registration process, but will not immediately have an appropriate
SMTP server at hand.</p>
<p>To this end, we will continue to support email verification delegation
via the <code>vector.im</code> and <code>matrix.org</code> identity servers for two months.
Support for delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd
December.</p>
<p>The <code>account_threepid_delegates</code> dictionary defines whether the
homeserver should delegate an external server (typically an <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1">identity
server</a>) to handle
sending confirmation messages via email and SMS.</p>
<p>So to delegate email verification, in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>, set
<code>account_threepid_delegates.email</code> to the base URL of an identity
server. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">account_threepid_delegates:
email: https://example.com # Delegate email sending to example.com
</code></pre>
<p>Note that <code>account_threepid_delegates.email</code> replaces the deprecated
<code>email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code>: if
<code>email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code> is set to <code>true</code>, and
<code>account_threepid_delegates.email</code> is not set, then the first entry in
<code>trusted_third_party_id_servers</code> will be used as the
<code>account_threepid_delegate</code> for email. This is to ensure compatibility
with existing Synapse installs that set up external server handling for
these tasks before v1.4.0. If
<code>email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code> is <code>true</code> and no
trusted identity server domains are configured, Synapse will report an
error and refuse to start.</p>
<p>If <code>email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code> is <code>false</code> or
absent and no <code>email</code> delegate is configured in
<code>account_threepid_delegates</code>, then Synapse will send email verification
messages itself, using the configured SMTP server (see above). that
type.</p>
<h3 id="phone-numbers"><a class="header" href="#phone-numbers">Phone numbers</a></h3>
<p>Synapse does not support phone-number verification itself, so the only
way to maintain the ability for users to add phone numbers to their
accounts will be by continuing to delegate phone number verification to
the <code>matrix.org</code> and <code>vector.im</code> identity servers (or another identity
server that supports SMS sending).</p>
<p>The <code>account_threepid_delegates</code> dictionary defines whether the
homeserver should delegate an external server (typically an <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1">identity
server</a>) to handle
sending confirmation messages via email and SMS.</p>
<p>So to delegate phone number verification, in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>, set
<code>account_threepid_delegates.msisdn</code> to the base URL of an identity
server. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">account_threepid_delegates:
msisdn: https://example.com # Delegate sms sending to example.com
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>matrix.org</code> and <code>vector.im</code> identity servers will continue to
support delegated phone number verification via SMS until such time as
it is possible for admins to configure their servers to perform phone
number verification directly. More details will follow in a future
release.</p>
<h2 id="rolling-back-to-v131"><a class="header" href="#rolling-back-to-v131">Rolling back to v1.3.1</a></h2>
<p>If you encounter problems with v1.4.0, it should be possible to roll
back to v1.3.1, subject to the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The 'room statistics' engine was heavily reworked in this release
(see <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5971">#5971</a>),
including significant changes to the database schema, which are not
easily reverted. This will cause the room statistics engine to stop
updating when you downgrade.</p>
<p>The room statistics are essentially unused in v1.3.1 (in future
versions of Synapse, they will be used to populate the room
directory), so there should be no loss of functionality. However,
the statistics engine will write errors to the logs, which can be
avoided by setting the following in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">stats:
enabled: false
</code></pre>
<p>Don't forget to re-enable it when you upgrade again, in preparation
for its use in the room directory!</p>

<p>Synapse v1.1.0 has a minimum Python requirement of Python 3.5. Python
3.6 or Python 3.7 are recommended as they have improved internal string

<p>If you use current versions of the Matrix.org-distributed Debian
packages or Docker images, action is not required.</p>

<h2 id="validation-of-tls-certificates"><a class="header" href="#validation-of-tls-certificates">Validation of TLS certificates</a></h2>
<p>Synapse v1.0 is the first release to enforce validation of TLS
certificates for the federation API. It is therefore essential that your
certificates are correctly configured. See the
<a href="../MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.html">FAQ</a> for more information.</p>
<p>Note, v1.0 installations will also no longer be able to federate with
servers that have not correctly configured their certificates.</p>
<p>In rare cases, it may be desirable to disable certificate checking: for
example, it might be essential to be able to federate with a given
legacy server in a closed federation. This can be done in one of two
ways:-</p>
<ul>
<li>Configure the global switch <code>federation_verify_certificates</code> to
<code>false</code>.</li>
<li>Configure a whitelist of server domains to trust via
<code>federation_certificate_verification_whitelist</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>See the <a href="docs/sample_config.yaml">sample configuration file</a> for more
details on these settings.</p>
<h2 id="email-2"><a class="header" href="#email-2">Email</a></h2>
<p>When a user requests a password reset, Synapse will send an email to the
user to confirm the request.</p>
<p>Previous versions of Synapse delegated the job of sending this email to
an identity server. If the identity server was somehow malicious or
became compromised, it would be theoretically possible to hijack an
account through this means.</p>
<p>Therefore, by default, Synapse v1.0 will send the confirmation email
itself. If Synapse is not configured with an SMTP server, password reset
via email will be disabled.</p>
<p>To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration
section headed <code>email</code>, and be sure to have at least the <code>smtp_host</code>,
<code>smtp_port</code> and <code>notif_from</code> fields filled out. You may also need to set
<code>smtp_user</code>, <code>smtp_pass</code>, and <code>require_transport_security</code>.</p>
<p>If you are absolutely certain that you wish to continue using an
identity server for password resets, set
<code>trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code> to <code>true</code>.</p>
<p>See the <a href="docs/sample_config.yaml">sample configuration file</a> for more
details on these settings.</p>
<h2 id="new-email-templates"><a class="header" href="#new-email-templates">New email templates</a></h2>
<p>Some new templates have been added to the default template directory for the purpose of
the homeserver sending its own password reset emails. If you have configured a
custom <code>template_dir</code> in your Synapse config, these files will need to be added.</p>
<p><code>password_reset.html</code> and <code>password_reset.txt</code> are HTML and plain text
templates respectively that contain the contents of what will be emailed
to the user upon attempting to reset their password via email.
<code>password_reset_success.html</code> and <code>password_reset_failure.html</code> are HTML

<p>Please be aware that, before Synapse v1.0 is released around March 2019,
you will need to replace any self-signed certificates with those
verified by a root CA. Information on how to do so can be found at <a href="../ACME.html">the
ACME docs</a>.</p>
<p>For more information on configuring TLS certificates see the
<a href="../MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.html">FAQ</a>.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0340"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0340">Upgrading to v0.34.0</a></h1>
<ol>
<li>
<p>This release is the first to fully support Python 3. Synapse will
now run on Python versions 3.5, or 3.6 (as well as 2.7). We
recommend switching to Python 3, as it has been shown to give
performance improvements.</p>
<p>For users who have installed Synapse into a virtualenv, we recommend
doing this by creating a new virtualenv. For example:</p>
<pre><code>virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env3
source ~/synapse/env3/bin/activate
pip install matrix-synapse
</code></pre>
<p>You can then start synapse as normal, having activated the new
virtualenv:</p>
<pre><code>cd ~/synapse
source env3/bin/activate
synctl start
</code></pre>
<p>Users who have installed from distribution packages should see the
relevant package documentation. See below for notes on Debian
packages.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>When upgrading to Python 3, you <strong>must</strong> make sure that your log
files are configured as UTF-8, by adding <code>encoding: utf8</code> to the
<code>RotatingFileHandler</code> configuration (if you have one) in your
<code><server>.log.config</code> file. For example, if your <code>log.config</code>
file contains:</p>
<pre><code>handlers:
file:
class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
formatter: precise
filename: homeserver.log
maxBytes: 104857600
backupCount: 10
filters: [context]
console:
class: logging.StreamHandler
formatter: precise
filters: [context]
</code></pre>
<p>Then you should update this to be:</p>
<pre><code>handlers:
file:
class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
formatter: precise
filename: homeserver.log
maxBytes: 104857600
backupCount: 10
filters: [context]
encoding: utf8
console:
class: logging.StreamHandler
formatter: precise
filters: [context]
</code></pre>
<p>There is no need to revert this change if downgrading to
Python 2.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>We are also making available Debian packages which will run Synapse
on Python 3. You can switch to these packages with
<code>apt-get install matrix-synapse-py3</code>, however, please read
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v0.34.0/debian/NEWS">debian/NEWS</a>
before doing so. The existing <code>matrix-synapse</code> packages will
continue to use Python 2 for the time being.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>This release removes the <code>riot.im</code> from the default list of trusted
identity servers.</p>
<p>If <code>riot.im</code> is in your homeserver's list of
<code>trusted_third_party_id_servers</code>, you should remove it. It was added
in case a hypothetical future identity server was put there. If you
don't remove it, users may be unable to deactivate their accounts.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>This release no longer installs the (unmaintained) Matrix Console
web client as part of the default installation. It is possible to
re-enable it by installing it separately and setting the
<code>web_client_location</code> config option, but please consider switching
to another client.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0337"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0337">Upgrading to v0.33.7</a></h1>
<p>This release removes the example email notification templates from
<code>res/templates</code> (they are now internal to the python package). This
should only affect you if you (a) deploy your Synapse instance from a
git checkout or a github snapshot URL, and (b) have email notifications
enabled.</p>
<p>If you have email notifications enabled, you should ensure that
<code>email.template_dir</code> is either configured to point at a directory where
you have installed customised templates, or leave it unset to use the
default templates.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0273"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0273">Upgrading to v0.27.3</a></h1>
<p>This release expands the anonymous usage stats sent if the opt-in
<code>report_stats</code> configuration is set to <code>true</code>. We now capture RSS memory
and cpu use at a very coarse level. This requires administrators to
install the optional <code>psutil</code> python module.</p>
<p>We would appreciate it if you could assist by ensuring this module is
available and <code>report_stats</code> is enabled. This will let us see if
performance changes to synapse are having an impact to the general
community.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0150"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0150">Upgrading to v0.15.0</a></h1>
<p>If you want to use the new URL previewing API
(<code>/_matrix/media/r0/preview_url</code>) then you have to explicitly enable it
in the config and update your dependencies dependencies. See README.rst
for details.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0110"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0110">Upgrading to v0.11.0</a></h1>
<p>This release includes the option to send anonymous usage stats to
matrix.org, and requires that administrators explictly opt in or out by
setting the <code>report_stats</code> option to either <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>.</p>
<p>We would really appreciate it if you could help our project out by
reporting anonymized usage statistics from your homeserver. Only very
basic aggregate data (e.g. number of users) will be reported, but it
helps us to track the growth of the Matrix community, and helps us to
make Matrix a success, as well as to convince other networks that they
should peer with us.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v090"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v090">Upgrading to v0.9.0</a></h1>
<p>Application services have had a breaking API change in this version.</p>
<p>They can no longer register themselves with a home server using the AS
HTTP API. This decision was made because a compromised application
service with free reign to register any regex in effect grants full
read/write access to the home server if a regex of <code>.*</code> is used. An
attack where a compromised AS re-registers itself with <code>.*</code> was deemed
too big of a security risk to ignore, and so the ability to register
with the HS remotely has been removed.</p>
<p>It has been replaced by specifying a list of application service
registrations in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>:</p>
<pre><code>app_service_config_files: ["registration-01.yaml", "registration-02.yaml"]
</code></pre>
<p>Where <code>registration-01.yaml</code> looks like:</p>
<pre><code>url: <String> # e.g. "https://my.application.service.com"
as_token: <String>
hs_token: <String>
sender_localpart: <String> # This is a new field which denotes the user_id localpart when using the AS token
namespaces:
users:
- exclusive: <Boolean>
regex: <String> # e.g. "@prefix_.*"
aliases:
- exclusive: <Boolean>
regex: <String>
rooms:
- exclusive: <Boolean>
regex: <String>
</code></pre>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v080"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v080">Upgrading to v0.8.0</a></h1>
<p>Servers which use captchas will need to add their public key to:</p>
<pre><code>static/client/register/register_config.js
window.matrixRegistrationConfig = {
recaptcha_public_key: "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
};
</code></pre>
<p>This is required in order to support registration fallback (typically
used on mobile devices).</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v070"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v070">Upgrading to v0.7.0</a></h1>
<p>New dependencies are:</p>
<ul>
<li>pydenticon</li>
<li>simplejson</li>
<li>syutil</li>
<li>matrix-angular-sdk</li>
</ul>
<p>To pull in these dependencies in a virtual env, run:</p>
<pre><code>python synapse/python_dependencies.py | xargs -n 1 pip install
</code></pre>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v060"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v060">Upgrading to v0.6.0</a></h1>
<p>To pull in new dependencies, run:</p>
<pre><code>python setup.py develop --user
</code></pre>
<p>This update includes a change to the database schema. To upgrade you
first need to upgrade the database by running:</p>
<pre><code>python scripts/upgrade_db_to_v0.6.0.py <db> <server_name> <signing_key>
</code></pre>
<p>Where [<db>]{.title-ref} is the location of the database,
[<server_name>]{.title-ref} is the server name as specified in the
synapse configuration, and [<signing_key>]{.title-ref} is the location
of the signing key as specified in the synapse configuration.</p>
<p>This may take some time to complete. Failures of signatures and content
hashes can safely be ignored.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v051"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v051">Upgrading to v0.5.1</a></h1>
<p>Depending on precisely when you installed v0.5.0 you may have ended up
with a stale release of the reference matrix webclient installed as a
python module. To uninstall it and ensure you are depending on the
latest module, please run:</p>
<pre><code>$ pip uninstall syweb
</code></pre>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v050"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v050">Upgrading to v0.5.0</a></h1>
<p>The webclient has been split out into a seperate repository/pacakage in
this release. Before you restart your homeserver you will need to pull
in the webclient package by running:</p>
<pre><code>python setup.py develop --user
</code></pre>
<p>This release completely changes the database schema and so requires
upgrading it before starting the new version of the homeserver.</p>
<p>The script "database-prepare-for-0.5.0.sh" should be used to upgrade
the database. This will save all user information, such as logins and
profiles, but will otherwise purge the database. This includes messages,
which rooms the home server was a member of and room alias mappings.</p>
<p>If you would like to keep your history, please take a copy of your
database file and ask for help in #matrix:matrix.org. The upgrade
process is, unfortunately, non trivial and requires human intervention
to resolve any resulting conflicts during the upgrade process.</p>
<p>Before running the command the homeserver should be first completely
shutdown. To run it, simply specify the location of the database, e.g.:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>./scripts/database-prepare-for-0.5.0.sh "homeserver.db"</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Once this has successfully completed it will be safe to restart the
homeserver. You may notice that the homeserver takes a few seconds
longer to restart than usual as it reinitializes the database.</p>
<p>On startup of the new version, users can either rejoin remote rooms
using room aliases or by being reinvited. Alternatively, if any other
homeserver sends a message to a room that the homeserver was previously
in the local HS will automatically rejoin the room.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v040"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v040">Upgrading to v0.4.0</a></h1>
<p>This release needs an updated syutil version. Run:</p>
<pre><code>python setup.py develop
</code></pre>
<p>You will also need to upgrade your configuration as the signing key
format has changed. Run:</p>
<pre><code>python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path <CONFIG> --generate-config
</code></pre>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v030"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v030">Upgrading to v0.3.0</a></h1>
<p>This registration API now closely matches the login API. This introduces
a bit more backwards and forwards between the HS and the client, but
this improves the overall flexibility of the API. You can now GET on
/register to retrieve a list of valid registration flows. Upon choosing
one, they are submitted in the same way as login, e.g:</p>
<pre><code>{
type: m.login.password,
user: foo,
password: bar
}
</code></pre>
<p>The default HS supports 2 flows, with and without Identity Server email
authentication. Enabling captcha on the HS will add in an extra step to
all flows: <code>m.login.recaptcha</code> which must be completed before you can
transition to the next stage. There is a new login type:
<code>m.login.email.identity</code> which contains the <code>threepidCreds</code> key which
were previously sent in the original register request. For more
information on this, see the specification.</p>
<h2 id="web-client"><a class="header" href="#web-client">Web Client</a></h2>
<p>The VoIP specification has changed between v0.2.0 and v0.3.0. Users
should refresh any browser tabs to get the latest web client code. Users
on v0.2.0 of the web client will not be able to call those on v0.3.0 and
vice versa.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v020"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v020">Upgrading to v0.2.0</a></h1>
<p>The home server now requires setting up of SSL config before it can run.
To automatically generate default config use:</p>
<pre><code>$ python synapse/app/homeserver.py \
--server-name machine.my.domain.name \
--bind-port 8448 \
--config-path homeserver.config \
--generate-config
</code></pre>
<p>This config can be edited if desired, for example to specify a different
SSL certificate to use. Once done you can run the home server using:</p>
<pre><code>$ python synapse/app/homeserver.py --config-path homeserver.config
</code></pre>
<p>See the README.rst for more information.</p>
<p>Also note that some config options have been renamed, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>"host" to "server-name"</li>
<li>"database" to "database-path"</li>
<li>"port" to "bind-port" and "unsecure-port"</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v001"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v001">Upgrading to v0.0.1</a></h1>
<p>This release completely changes the database schema and so requires
upgrading it before starting the new version of the homeserver.</p>
<p>The script "database-prepare-for-0.0.1.sh" should be used to upgrade
the database. This will save all user information, such as logins and
profiles, but will otherwise purge the database. This includes messages,
which rooms the home server was a member of and room alias mappings.</p>
<p>Before running the command the homeserver should be first completely
shutdown. To run it, simply specify the location of the database, e.g.:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>./scripts/database-prepare-for-0.0.1.sh "homeserver.db"</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Once this has successfully completed it will be safe to restart the
homeserver. You may notice that the homeserver takes a few seconds
longer to restart than usual as it reinitializes the database.</p>
<p>On startup of the new version, users can either rejoin remote rooms
using room aliases or by being reinvited. Alternatively, if any other

<p>This document was originally written to guide server admins through the upgrade
path towards Synapse 1.0. Specifically,
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md">MSC1711</a>
required that all servers present valid TLS certificates on their federation
API. Admins were encouraged to achieve compliance from version 0.99.0 (released
in February 2019) ahead of version 1.0 (released June 2019) enforcing the
certificate checks.</p>
<p>Much of what follows is now outdated since most admins will have already
upgraded, however it may be of use to those with old installs returning to the
project.</p>
<p>If you are setting up a server from scratch you almost certainly should look at
the <a href="setup/installation.html">installation guide</a> instead.</p>
<h2 id="introduction-1"><a class="header" href="#introduction-1">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>The goal of Synapse 0.99.0 is to act as a stepping stone to Synapse 1.0.0. It
supports the r0.1 release of the server to server specification, but is
compatible with both the legacy Matrix federation behaviour (pre-r0.1) as well
as post-r0.1 behaviour, in order to allow for a smooth upgrade across the
federation.</p>
<p>The most important thing to know is that Synapse 1.0.0 will require a valid TLS
certificate on federation endpoints. Self signed certificates will not be
sufficient.</p>
<p>Synapse 0.99.0 makes it easy to configure TLS certificates and will
interoperate with both >= 1.0.0 servers as well as existing servers yet to
upgrade.</p>
<p><strong>It is critical that all admins upgrade to 0.99.0 and configure a valid TLS
certificate.</strong> Admins will have 1 month to do so, after which 1.0.0 will be
released and those servers without a valid certificate will not longer be able
to federate with >= 1.0.0 servers.</p>
<p>Full details on how to carry out this configuration change is given
<a href="MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.html#configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100">below</a>. A
timeline and some frequently asked questions are also given below.</p>

<h2 id="timeline"><a class="header" href="#timeline">Timeline</a></h2>
<p><strong>5th Feb 2019 - Synapse 0.99.0 is released.</strong></p>
<p>All server admins are encouraged to upgrade.</p>
<p>0.99.0:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>provides support for ACME to make setting up Let's Encrypt certs easy, as
well as .well-known support.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>does not enforce that a valid CA cert is present on the federation API, but
rather makes it easy to set one up.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>provides support for .well-known</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Admins should upgrade and configure a valid CA cert. Homeservers that require a
.well-known entry (see below), should retain their SRV record and use it
alongside their .well-known record.</p>
<p><strong>10th June 2019 - Synapse 1.0.0 is released</strong></p>
<p>1.0.0 is scheduled for release on 10th June. In
accordance with the the <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/r0.1.0.html">S2S spec</a>
1.0.0 will enforce certificate validity. This means that any homeserver without a
valid certificate after this point will no longer be able to federate with
1.0.0 servers.</p>
<h2 id="configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100"><a class="header" href="#configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100">Configuring certificates for compatibility with Synapse 1.0.0</a></h2>
<h3 id="if-you-do-not-currently-have-an-srv-record"><a class="header" href="#if-you-do-not-currently-have-an-srv-record">If you do not currently have an SRV record</a></h3>
<p>In this case, your <code>server_name</code> points to the host where your Synapse is
running. There is no need to create a <code>.well-known</code> URI or an SRV record, but
you will need to give Synapse a valid, signed, certificate.</p>
<h3 id="if-you-do-have-an-srv-record-currently"><a class="header" href="#if-you-do-have-an-srv-record-currently">If you do have an SRV record currently</a></h3>
<p>If you are using an SRV record, your matrix domain (<code>server_name</code>) may not
point to the same host that your Synapse is running on (the 'target
domain'). (If it does, you can follow the recommendation above; otherwise, read
on.)</p>
<p>Let's assume that your <code>server_name</code> is <code>example.com</code>, and your Synapse is
hosted at a target domain of <code>customer.example.net</code>. Currently you should have
an SRV record which looks like:</p>
<pre><code>_matrix._tcp.example.com. IN SRV 10 5 8000 customer.example.net.
</code></pre>
<p>In this situation, you have three choices for how to proceed:</p>
<h4 id="option-1-give-synapse-a-certificate-for-your-matrix-domain"><a class="header" href="#option-1-give-synapse-a-certificate-for-your-matrix-domain">Option 1: give Synapse a certificate for your matrix domain</a></h4>
<p>Synapse 1.0 will expect your server to present a TLS certificate for your
<code>server_name</code> (<code>example.com</code> in the above example). You can achieve this by acquiring a
certificate for the <code>server_name</code> yourself (for example, using <code>certbot</code>), and giving it
and the key to Synapse via <code>tls_certificate_path</code> and <code>tls_private_key_path</code>.</p>
<h4 id="option-2-run-synapse-behind-a-reverse-proxy"><a class="header" href="#option-2-run-synapse-behind-a-reverse-proxy">Option 2: run Synapse behind a reverse proxy</a></h4>
<p>If you have an existing reverse proxy set up with correct TLS certificates for
your domain, you can simply route all traffic through the reverse proxy by
updating the SRV record appropriately (or removing it, if the proxy listens on
8448).</p>
<p>See <a href="reverse_proxy.html">the reverse proxy documentation</a> for information on setting up a
reverse proxy.</p>
<h4 id="option-3-add-a-well-known-file-to-delegate-your-matrix-traffic"><a class="header" href="#option-3-add-a-well-known-file-to-delegate-your-matrix-traffic">Option 3: add a .well-known file to delegate your matrix traffic</a></h4>
<p>This will allow you to keep Synapse on a separate domain, without having to
give it a certificate for the matrix domain.</p>
<p>You can do this with a <code>.well-known</code> file as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Keep the SRV record in place - it is needed for backwards compatibility
with Synapse 0.34 and earlier.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Give Synapse a certificate corresponding to the target domain
(<code>customer.example.net</code> in the above example). You can do this by acquire a
certificate for the target domain and giving it to Synapse via <code>tls_certificate_path</code>
and <code>tls_private_key_path</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restart Synapse to ensure the new certificate is loaded.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Arrange for a <code>.well-known</code> file at
<code>https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server</code> with contents:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{"m.server": "<target server name>"}
</code></pre>
<p>where the target server name is resolved as usual (i.e. SRV lookup, falling
back to talking to port 8448).</p>
<p>In the above example, where synapse is listening on port 8000,
<code>https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server</code> should have <code>m.server</code> set to one of:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><code>customer.example.net</code> ─ with a SRV record on
<code>_matrix._tcp.customer.example.com</code> pointing to port 8000, or:</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>customer.example.net</code> ─ updating synapse to listen on the default port
8448, or:</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>customer.example.net:8000</code> ─ ensuring that if there is a reverse proxy
on <code>customer.example.net:8000</code> it correctly handles HTTP requests with
Host header set to <code>customer.example.net:8000</code>.</p>

<p>If your homeserver listens on the default federation port (8448), and your
<code>server_name</code> points to the host that your homeserver runs on, you do not need an
SRV record or <code>.well-known/matrix/server</code> URI.</p>
<p>For instance, if you registered <code>example.com</code> and pointed its DNS A record at a
fresh Upcloud VPS or similar, you could install Synapse 0.99 on that host,
giving it a server_name of <code>example.com</code>, and it would automatically generate a
valid TLS certificate for you via Let's Encrypt and no SRV record or
<code>.well-known</code> URI would be needed.</p>
<p>This is the common case, although you can add an SRV record or
<code>.well-known/matrix/server</code> URI for completeness if you wish.</p>
<p><strong>However</strong>, if your server does not listen on port 8448, or if your <code>server_name</code>
does not point to the host that your homeserver runs on, you will need to let
other servers know how to find it.</p>
<p>In this case, you should see <a href="MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.html#if-you-do-have-an-srv-record-currently">"If you do have an SRV record
currently"</a> above.</p>
<h3 id="can-i-still-use-an-srv-record"><a class="header" href="#can-i-still-use-an-srv-record">Can I still use an SRV record?</a></h3>
<p>Firstly, if you didn't need an SRV record before (because your server is
listening on port 8448 of your server_name), you certainly don't need one now:
the defaults are still the same.</p>
<p>If you previously had an SRV record, you can keep using it provided you are
able to give Synapse a TLS certificate corresponding to your server name. For
example, suppose you had the following SRV record, which directs matrix traffic
for example.com to matrix.example.com:443:</p>
<pre><code>_matrix._tcp.example.com. IN SRV 10 5 443 matrix.example.com
</code></pre>
<p>In this case, Synapse must be given a certificate for example.com - or be
configured to acquire one from Let's Encrypt.</p>
<p>If you are unable to give Synapse a certificate for your server_name, you will
also need to use a .well-known URI instead. However, see also "I have created a
.well-known URI. Do I still need an SRV record?".</p>
<h3 id="i-have-created-a-well-known-uri-do-i-still-need-an-srv-record"><a class="header" href="#i-have-created-a-well-known-uri-do-i-still-need-an-srv-record">I have created a .well-known URI. Do I still need an SRV record?</a></h3>
<p>As of Synapse 0.99, Synapse will first check for the existence of a <code>.well-known</code>
URI and follow any delegation it suggests. It will only then check for the
existence of an SRV record.</p>
<p>That means that the SRV record will often be redundant. However, you should
remember that there may still be older versions of Synapse in the federation
which do not understand <code>.well-known</code> URIs, so if you removed your SRV record you
would no longer be able to federate with them.</p>
<p>It is therefore best to leave the SRV record in place for now. Synapse 0.34 and
earlier will follow the SRV record (and not care about the invalid
certificate). Synapse 0.99 and later will follow the .well-known URI, with the
correct certificate chain.</p>

<p>We have always wanted Matrix servers to be as easy to set up as possible, and
so back when we started federation in 2014 we didn't want admins to have to go
through the cumbersome process of buying a valid TLS certificate to run a
server. This was before Let's Encrypt came along and made getting a free and
valid TLS certificate straightforward. So instead, we adopted a system based on
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_(SSL)">Perspectives</a>: an approach
where you check a set of "notary servers" (in practice, homeservers) to vouch
for the validity of a certificate rather than having it signed by a CA. As long
as enough different notaries agree on the certificate's validity, then it is
trusted.</p>
<p>However, in practice this has never worked properly. Most people only use the
default notary server (matrix.org), leading to inadvertent centralisation which
we want to eliminate. Meanwhile, we never implemented the full consensus
algorithm to query the servers participating in a room to determine consensus
on whether a given certificate is valid. This is fiddly to get right
(especially in face of sybil attacks), and we found ourselves questioning
whether it was worth the effort to finish the work and commit to maintaining a
secure certificate validation system as opposed to focusing on core Matrix
development.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Let's Encrypt came along in 2016, and put the final nail in the
coffin of the Perspectives project (which was already pretty dead). So, the
Spec Core Team decided that a better approach would be to mandate valid TLS
certificates for federation alongside the rest of the Web. More details can be
found in
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md#background-the-failure-of-the-perspectives-approach">MSC1711</a>.</p>
<p>This results in a breaking change, which is disruptive, but absolutely critical
for the security model. However, the existence of Let's Encrypt as a trivial
way to replace the old self-signed certificates with valid CA-signed ones helps
smooth things over massively, especially as Synapse can now automate Let's
Encrypt certificate generation if needed.</p>
<h3 id="can-i-manage-my-own-certificates-rather-than-having-synapse-renew-certificates-itself"><a class="header" href="#can-i-manage-my-own-certificates-rather-than-having-synapse-renew-certificates-itself">Can I manage my own certificates rather than having Synapse renew certificates itself?</a></h3>
<p>Yes, you are welcome to manage your certificates yourself. Synapse will only
attempt to obtain certificates from Let's Encrypt if you configure it to do
so.The only requirement is that there is a valid TLS cert present for
federation end points.</p>
<h3 id="do-you-still-recommend-against-using-a-reverse-proxy-on-the-federation-port-1"><a class="header" href="#do-you-still-recommend-against-using-a-reverse-proxy-on-the-federation-port-1">Do you still recommend against using a reverse proxy on the federation port?</a></h3>
<p>We no longer actively recommend against using a reverse proxy. Many admins will
find it easier to direct federation traffic to a reverse proxy and manage their
own TLS certificates, and this is a supported configuration.</p>
<p>See <a href="reverse_proxy.html">the reverse proxy documentation</a> for information on setting up a
reverse proxy.</p>
<h3 id="do-i-still-need-to-give-my-tls-certificates-to-synapse-if-i-am-using-a-reverse-proxy-1"><a class="header" href="#do-i-still-need-to-give-my-tls-certificates-to-synapse-if-i-am-using-a-reverse-proxy-1">Do I still need to give my TLS certificates to Synapse if I am using a reverse proxy?</a></h3>
<p>Practically speaking, this is no longer necessary.</p>
<p>If you are using a reverse proxy for all of your TLS traffic, then you can set
<code>no_tls: True</code>. In that case, the only reason Synapse needs the certificate is
to populate a legacy 'tls_fingerprints' field in the federation API. This is
ignored by Synapse 0.99.0 and later, and the only time pre-0.99 Synapses will
check it is when attempting to fetch the server keys - and generally this is
delegated via <code>matrix.org</code>, which is on 0.99.0.</p>
<p>However, there is a bug in Synapse 0.99.0
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4554">4554</a> which prevents
Synapse from starting if you do not give it a TLS certificate. To work around
this, you can give it any TLS certificate at all. This will be fixed soon.</p>
<h3 id="do-i-need-the-same-certificate-for-the-client-and-federation-port-1"><a class="header" href="#do-i-need-the-same-certificate-for-the-client-and-federation-port-1">Do I need the same certificate for the client and federation port?</a></h3>
<p>No. There is nothing stopping you from using different certificates,
particularly if you are using a reverse proxy. However, Synapse will use the
same certificate on any ports where TLS is configured.</p>
<h3 id="how-do-i-tell-synapse-to-reload-my-keyscertificates-after-i-replace-them"><a class="header" href="#how-do-i-tell-synapse-to-reload-my-keyscertificates-after-i-replace-them">How do I tell Synapse to reload my keys/certificates after I replace them?</a></h3>
<p>Synapse will reload the keys and certificates when it receives a SIGHUP - for
example <code>kill -HUP $(cat homeserver.pid)</code>. Alternatively, simply restart
Synapse, though this will result in downtime while it restarts.</p>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="setting-up-federation"><a class="header" href="#setting-up-federation">Setting up federation</a></h1>
<p>Federation is the process by which users on different servers can participate
in the same room. For this to work, those other servers must be able to contact
yours to send messages.</p>
<p>The <code>server_name</code> configured in the Synapse configuration file (often
<code>homeserver.yaml</code>) defines how resources (users, rooms, etc.) will be
identified (eg: <code>@user:example.com</code>, <code>#room:example.com</code>). By default,
it is also the domain that other servers will use to try to reach your
server (via port 8448). This is easy to set up and will work provided
you set the <code>server_name</code> to match your machine's public DNS hostname.</p>
<p>For this default configuration to work, you will need to listen for TLS
connections on port 8448. The preferred way to do that is by using a
reverse proxy: see <a href="reverse_proxy.html">the reverse proxy documentation</a> for instructions
on how to correctly set one up.</p>
<p>In some cases you might not want to run Synapse on the machine that has
the <code>server_name</code> as its public DNS hostname, or you might want federation
traffic to use a different port than 8448. For example, you might want to
have your user names look like <code>@user:example.com</code>, but you want to run
Synapse on <code>synapse.example.com</code> on port 443. This can be done using
delegation, which allows an admin to control where federation traffic should
be sent. See <a href="delegate.html">the delegation documentation</a> for instructions on how to set this up.</p>
<p>Once federation has been configured, you should be able to join a room over
federation. A good place to start is <code>#synapse:matrix.org</code> - a room for
Synapse admins.</p>
<h2 id="troubleshooting-2"><a class="header" href="#troubleshooting-2">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
<p>You can use the <a href="https://matrix.org/federationtester">federation tester</a>
to check if your homeserver is configured correctly. Alternatively try the
<a href="https://matrix.org/federationtester/api/report?server_name=DOMAIN">JSON API used by the federation tester</a>.
Note that you'll have to modify this URL to replace <code>DOMAIN</code> with your
<code>server_name</code>. Hitting the API directly provides extra detail.</p>
<p>The typical failure mode for federation is that when the server tries to join
a room, it is rejected with "401: Unauthorized". Generally this means that other
servers in the room could not access yours. (Joining a room over federation is
a complicated dance which requires connections in both directions).</p>
<p>Another common problem is that people on other servers can't join rooms that
you invite them to. This can be caused by an incorrectly-configured reverse
proxy: see <a href="reverse_proxy.html">the reverse proxy documentation</a> for instructions on how
to correctly configure a reverse proxy.</p>
<h3 id="known-issues"><a class="header" href="#known-issues">Known issues</a></h3>
<p><strong>HTTP <code>308 Permanent Redirect</code> redirects are not followed</strong>: Due to missing features
in the HTTP library used by Synapse, 308 redirects are currently not followed by
federating servers, which can cause <code>M_UNKNOWN</code> or <code>401 Unauthorized</code> errors. This
may affect users who are redirecting apex-to-www (e.g. <code>example.com</code> -> <code>www.example.com</code>),
and especially users of the Kubernetes <em>Nginx Ingress</em> module, which uses 308 redirect
codes by default. For those Kubernetes users, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/52617528/5096871">this Stackoverflow post</a>
might be helpful. For other users, switching to a <code>301 Moved Permanently</code> code may be
an option. 308 redirect codes will be supported properly in a future
release of Synapse.</p>

# Monthly Active User Blocking
#
# Used in cases where the admin or server owner wants to limit to the
# number of monthly active users.
#
# 'limit_usage_by_mau' disables/enables monthly active user blocking. When
# enabled and a limit is reached the server returns a 'ResourceLimitError'
# with error type Codes.RESOURCE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
#
# 'max_mau_value' is the hard limit of monthly active users above which
# the server will start blocking user actions.
#
# 'mau_trial_days' is a means to add a grace period for active users. It
# means that users must be active for this number of days before they
# can be considered active and guards against the case where lots of users
# sign up in a short space of time never to return after their initial
# session.
#
# 'mau_limit_alerting' is a means of limiting client side alerting
# should the mau limit be reached. This is useful for small instances
# where the admin has 5 mau seats (say) for 5 specific people and no
# interest increasing the mau limit further. Defaults to True, which
# means that alerting is enabled
#
#limit_usage_by_mau: false
#max_mau_value: 50
#mau_trial_days: 2
#mau_limit_alerting: false
# If enabled, the metrics for the number of monthly active users will
# be populated, however no one will be limited. If limit_usage_by_mau
# is true, this is implied to be true.
#
#mau_stats_only: false

# Defaults to 'true'.
#
#allow_per_room_profiles: false
# How long to keep redacted events in unredacted form in the database. After

#
# Defaults to `7d`. Set to `null` to disable.
#
#redaction_retention_period: 28d
# How long to track users' last seen time and IPs in the database.
#
# Defaults to `28d`. Set to `null` to disable clearing out of old rows.

#user_ips_max_age: 14d
# Message retention policy at the server level.
#
# Room admins and mods can define a retention period for their rooms using the
# 'm.room.retention' state event, and server admins can cap this period by setting
# the 'allowed_lifetime_min' and 'allowed_lifetime_max' config options.
#
# If this feature is enabled, Synapse will regularly look for and purge events
# which are older than the room's maximum retention period. Synapse will also
# filter events received over federation so that events that should have been
# purged are ignored and not stored again.
#
retention:
# The message retention policies feature is disabled by default. Uncomment the
# following line to enable it.
#
#enabled: true
# Default retention policy. If set, Synapse will apply it to rooms that lack the
# 'm.room.retention' state event. Currently, the value of 'min_lifetime' doesn't
# matter much because Synapse doesn't take it into account yet.
#
#default_policy:
# min_lifetime: 1d
# max_lifetime: 1y
# Retention policy limits. If set, and the state of a room contains a
# 'm.room.retention' event in its state which contains a 'min_lifetime' or a
# 'max_lifetime' that's out of these bounds, Synapse will cap the room's policy
# to these limits when running purge jobs.
#
#allowed_lifetime_min: 1d
#allowed_lifetime_max: 1y
# Server admins can define the settings of the background jobs purging the
# events which lifetime has expired under the 'purge_jobs' section.
#
# If no configuration is provided, a single job will be set up to delete expired
# events in every room daily.
#
# Each job's configuration defines which range of message lifetimes the job
# takes care of. For example, if 'shortest_max_lifetime' is '2d' and
# 'longest_max_lifetime' is '3d', the job will handle purging expired events in
# rooms whose state defines a 'max_lifetime' that's both higher than 2 days, and
# lower than or equal to 3 days. Both the minimum and the maximum value of a
# range are optional, e.g. a job with no 'shortest_max_lifetime' and a
# 'longest_max_lifetime' of '3d' will handle every room with a retention policy
# which 'max_lifetime' is lower than or equal to three days.
#
# The rationale for this per-job configuration is that some rooms might have a
# retention policy with a low 'max_lifetime', where history needs to be purged
# of outdated messages on a more frequent basis than for the rest of the rooms
# (e.g. every 12h), but not want that purge to be performed by a job that's
# iterating over every room it knows, which could be heavy on the server.
#
# If any purge job is configured, it is strongly recommended to have at least
# a single job with neither 'shortest_max_lifetime' nor 'longest_max_lifetime'
# set, or one job without 'shortest_max_lifetime' and one job without
# 'longest_max_lifetime' set. Otherwise some rooms might be ignored, even if
# 'allowed_lifetime_min' and 'allowed_lifetime_max' are set, because capping a
# room's policy to these values is done after the policies are retrieved from
# Synapse's database (which is done using the range specified in a purge job's
# configuration).
#
#purge_jobs:
# - longest_max_lifetime: 3d
# interval: 12h
# - shortest_max_lifetime: 3d
# interval: 1d
# Inhibits the /requestToken endpoints from returning an error that might leak
# information about whether an e-mail address is in use or not on this
# homeserver.
# Note that for some endpoints the error situation is the e-mail already being
# used, and for others the error is entering the e-mail being unused.
# If this option is enabled, instead of returning an error, these endpoints will
# act as if no error happened and return a fake session ID ('sid') to clients.

# This parameter is optionally provided by clients while requesting
# validation of an email or phone number, and maps to a link that
# users will be automatically redirected to after validation
# succeeds. Clients can make use this parameter to aid the validation
# process.
#
# The whitelist is applied whether the homeserver or an
# identity server is handling validation.
#
# The default value is no whitelist functionality; all domains are
# allowed. Setting this value to an empty list will instead disallow
# all domains.

## TLS ##
# PEM-encoded X509 certificate for TLS.
# This certificate, as of Synapse 1.0, will need to be a valid and verifiable
# certificate, signed by a recognised Certificate Authority.
#
# Be sure to use a `.pem` file that includes the full certificate chain including
# any intermediate certificates (for instance, if using certbot, use
# `fullchain.pem` as your certificate, not `cert.pem`).
#
#tls_certificate_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.tls.crt"
# PEM-encoded private key for TLS
#
#tls_private_key_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.tls.key"
# Whether to verify TLS server certificates for outbound federation requests.
#
# Defaults to `true`. To disable certificate verification, uncomment the
# following line.
#
#federation_verify_certificates: false
# The minimum TLS version that will be used for outbound federation requests.
#
# Defaults to `1`. Configurable to `1`, `1.1`, `1.2`, or `1.3`. Note
# that setting this value higher than `1.2` will prevent federation to most
# of the public Matrix network: only configure it to `1.3` if you have an
# entirely private federation setup and you can ensure TLS 1.3 support.
#
#federation_client_minimum_tls_version: 1.2
# Skip federation certificate verification on the following whitelist
# of domains.
#
# This setting should only be used in very specific cases, such as
# federation over Tor hidden services and similar. For private networks
# of homeservers, you likely want to use a private CA instead.
#
# Only effective if federation_verify_certicates is `true`.
#
#federation_certificate_verification_whitelist:
# - lon.example.com
# - *.domain.com
# - *.onion
# List of custom certificate authorities for federation traffic.
#
# This setting should only normally be used within a private network of
# homeservers.
#
# Note that this list will replace those that are provided by your
# operating environment. Certificates must be in PEM format.
#
#federation_custom_ca_list:
# - myCA1.pem
# - myCA2.pem
# - myCA3.pem
## Federation ##
# Restrict federation to the following whitelist of domains.
# N.B. we recommend also firewalling your federation listener to limit
# inbound federation traffic as early as possible, rather than relying
# purely on this application-layer restriction. If not specified, the
# default is to whitelist everything.
#
#federation_domain_whitelist:
# - lon.example.com
# - nyc.example.com
# - syd.example.com
# Report prometheus metrics on the age of PDUs being sent to and received from
# the following domains. This can be used to give an idea of "delay" on inbound
# and outbound federation, though be aware that any delay can be due to problems
# at either end or with the intermediate network.
#
# By default, no domains are monitored in this way.
#
#federation_metrics_domains:
# - matrix.org
# - example.com
# Uncomment to disable profile lookup over federation. By default, the
# Federation API allows other homeservers to obtain profile data of any user

#
#allow_profile_lookup_over_federation: false
# Uncomment to disable device display name lookup over federation. By default, the
# Federation API allows other homeservers to obtain device display names of any user
# on this homeserver. Defaults to 'true'.
#
#allow_device_name_lookup_over_federation: false
## Caching ##
# Caching can be configured through the following options.
#
# A cache 'factor' is a multiplier that can be applied to each of
# Synapse's caches in order to increase or decrease the maximum
# number of entries that can be stored.
# The number of events to cache in memory. Not affected by
# caches.global_factor.
#
#event_cache_size: 10K
caches:
# Controls the global cache factor, which is the default cache factor
# for all caches if a specific factor for that cache is not otherwise
# set.
#
# This can also be set by the "SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR" environment
# variable. Setting by environment variable takes priority over
# setting through the config file.
#
# Defaults to 0.5, which will half the size of all caches.
#
#global_factor: 1.0
# A dictionary of cache name to cache factor for that individual
# cache. Overrides the global cache factor for a given cache.
#
# These can also be set through environment variables comprised
# of "SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR_" + the name of the cache in capital
# letters and underscores. Setting by environment variable
# takes priority over setting through the config file.
# Ex. SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR_GET_USERS_WHO_SHARE_ROOM_WITH_USER=2.0
#
# Some caches have '*' and other characters that are not
# alphanumeric or underscores. These caches can be named with or
# without the special characters stripped. For example, to specify
# the cache factor for `*stateGroupCache*` via an environment
# variable would be `SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR_STATEGROUPCACHE=2.0`.
#
per_cache_factors:
#get_users_who_share_room_with_user: 2.0
# Controls how long an entry can be in a cache without having been
# accessed before being evicted. Defaults to None, which means
# entries are never evicted based on time.
#
#expiry_time: 30m
## Database ##
# The 'database' setting defines the database that synapse uses to store all of
# its data.
#
# 'name' gives the database engine to use: either 'sqlite3' (for SQLite) or
# 'psycopg2' (for PostgreSQL).
#
# 'args' gives options which are passed through to the database engine,
# except for options starting 'cp_', which are used to configure the Twisted
# connection pool. For a reference to valid arguments, see:
# * for sqlite: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.connect
# * for postgres: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-PARAMKEYWORDS

## Logging ##
# A yaml python logging config file as described by
# https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/logging.config.html#configuration-dictionary-schema
#
log_config: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.log.config"
## Ratelimiting ##
# Ratelimiting settings for client actions (registration, login, messaging).
#
# Each ratelimiting configuration is made of two parameters:
# - per_second: number of requests a client can send per second.
# - burst_count: number of requests a client can send before being throttled.
#
# Synapse currently uses the following configurations:
# - one for messages that ratelimits sending based on the account the client
# is using
# - one for registration that ratelimits registration requests based on the
# client's IP address.
# - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the client's IP
# address.
# - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the account the
# client is attempting to log into.
# - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the account the
# client is attempting to log into, based on the amount of failed login
# attempts for this account.
# - one for ratelimiting redactions by room admins. If this is not explicitly
# set then it uses the same ratelimiting as per rc_message. This is useful
# to allow room admins to deal with abuse quickly.
# - two for ratelimiting number of rooms a user can join, "local" for when
# users are joining rooms the server is already in (this is cheap) vs
# "remote" for when users are trying to join rooms not on the server (which
# can be more expensive)
# - one for ratelimiting how often a user or IP can attempt to validate a 3PID.
# - two for ratelimiting how often invites can be sent in a room or to a
# specific user.
#
# The defaults are as shown below.
#
#rc_message:
# per_second: 0.2
# burst_count: 10
#
#rc_registration:

# Ratelimiting settings for incoming federation
#
# The rc_federation configuration is made up of the following settings:
# - window_size: window size in milliseconds
# - sleep_limit: number of federation requests from a single server in
# a window before the server will delay processing the request.
# - sleep_delay: duration in milliseconds to delay processing events
# from remote servers by if they go over the sleep limit.
# - reject_limit: maximum number of concurrent federation requests
# allowed from a single server
# - concurrent: number of federation requests to concurrently process
# from a single server
#
# The defaults are as shown below.
#
#rc_federation:
# window_size: 1000
# sleep_limit: 10
# sleep_delay: 500
# reject_limit: 50
# concurrent: 3
# Target outgoing federation transaction frequency for sending read-receipts,

#
# If we end up trying to send out more read-receipts, they will get buffered up
# into fewer transactions.

## Media Store ##
# Enable the media store service in the Synapse master. Uncomment the
# following if you are using a separate media store worker.
#
#enable_media_repo: false
# Directory where uploaded images and attachments are stored.

#
#max_upload_size: 50M
# Maximum number of pixels that will be thumbnailed
#
#max_image_pixels: 32M
# Whether to generate new thumbnails on the fly to precisely match

# Is the preview URL API enabled?
#
# 'false' by default: uncomment the following to enable it (and specify a
# url_preview_ip_range_blacklist blacklist).
#
#url_preview_enabled: true
# List of IP address CIDR ranges that the URL preview spider is denied
# from accessing. There are no defaults: you must explicitly
# specify a list for URL previewing to work. You should specify any
# internal services in your network that you do not want synapse to try
# to connect to, otherwise anyone in any Matrix room could cause your
# synapse to issue arbitrary GET requests to your internal services,
# causing serious security issues.
#
# (0.0.0.0 and :: are always blacklisted, whether or not they are explicitly
# listed here, since they correspond to unroutable addresses.)
#
# This must be specified if url_preview_enabled is set. It is recommended that
# you uncomment the following list as a starting point.
#
#url_preview_ip_range_blacklist:
# - '127.0.0.0/8'
# - '10.0.0.0/8'
# - '172.16.0.0/12'

# - 'ff00::/8'
# - 'fec0::/10'
# List of IP address CIDR ranges that the URL preview spider is allowed
# to access even if they are specified in url_preview_ip_range_blacklist.
# This is useful for specifying exceptions to wide-ranging blacklisted
# target IP ranges - e.g. for enabling URL previews for a specific private
# website only visible in your network.
#
#url_preview_ip_range_whitelist:
# - '192.168.1.1'
# Optional list of URL matches that the URL preview spider is
# denied from accessing. You should use url_preview_ip_range_blacklist
# in preference to this, otherwise someone could define a public DNS
# entry that points to a private IP address and circumvent the blacklist.
# This is more useful if you know there is an entire shape of URL that
# you know that will never want synapse to try to spider.
#
# Each list entry is a dictionary of url component attributes as returned
# by urlparse.urlsplit as applied to the absolute form of the URL. See
# https://docs.python.org/2/library/urlparse.html#urlparse.urlsplit
# The values of the dictionary are treated as an filename match pattern
# applied to that component of URLs, unless they start with a ^ in which
# case they are treated as a regular expression match. If all the
# specified component matches for a given list item succeed, the URL is
# blacklisted.

# The largest allowed URL preview spidering size in bytes
#
#max_spider_size: 10M
# A list of values for the Accept-Language HTTP header used when
# downloading webpages during URL preview generation. This allows
# Synapse to specify the preferred languages that URL previews should
# be in when communicating with remote servers.
#
# Each value is a IETF language tag; a 2-3 letter identifier for a
# language, optionally followed by subtags separated by '-', specifying
# a country or region variant.
#
# Multiple values can be provided, and a weight can be added to each by
# using quality value syntax (;q=). '*' translates to any language.
#
# Defaults to "en".
#
# Example:
#
# url_preview_accept_language:
# - en-UK

# How long generated TURN credentials last
#
#turn_user_lifetime: 1h
# Whether guests should be allowed to use the TURN server.
# This defaults to True, otherwise VoIP will be unreliable for guests.
# However, it does introduce a slight security risk as it allows users to

# reset passwords for accounts!
#
# Be aware that if `email` is not set, and SMTP options have not been
# configured in the email config block, registration and user password resets via
# email will be globally disabled.
#
# Additionally, if `msisdn` is not set, registration and password resets via msisdn
# will be disabled regardless, and users will not be able to associate an msisdn
# identifier to their account. This is due to Synapse currently not supporting
# any method of sending SMS messages on its own.
#
# To enable using an identity server for operations regarding a particular third-party
# identifier type, set the value to the URL of that identity server as shown in the
# examples below.
#
# Servers handling the these requests must answer the `/requestToken` endpoints defined

#
# By default, any room aliases included in this list will be created
# as a publicly joinable room when the first user registers for the
# homeserver. This behaviour can be customised with the settings below.
# If the room already exists, make certain it is a publicly joinable
# room. The join rule of the room must be set to 'public'.
#
#auto_join_rooms:
# - "#example:example.com"
# Where auto_join_rooms are specified, setting this flag ensures that the
# the rooms exist by creating them when the first user on the

#
# By default the auto-created rooms are publicly joinable from any federated
# server. Use the autocreate_auto_join_rooms_federated and
# autocreate_auto_join_room_preset settings below to customise this behaviour.
#
# Setting to false means that if the rooms are not manually created,

#
#autocreate_auto_join_rooms: false
# Whether the auto_join_rooms that are auto-created are available via

#
#autocreate_auto_join_rooms_federated: false
# The room preset to use when auto-creating one of auto_join_rooms. Only has an

#
# This can be one of "public_chat", "private_chat", or "trusted_private_chat".
# If a value of "private_chat" or "trusted_private_chat" is used then

## API Configuration ##
# Controls for the state that is shared with users who receive an invite
# to a room
#
room_prejoin_state:
# By default, the following state event types are shared with users who

#
# - m.room.join_rules

#
# Uncomment the following to disable these defaults (so that only the event

#
#disable_default_event_types: true
# Additional state event types to share with users when they are invited
# to a room.
#
# By default, this list is empty (so only the default event types are shared).
#
#additional_event_types:
# - org.example.custom.event.type
# A list of application service config files to use
#
#app_service_config_files:
# - app_service_1.yaml
# - app_service_2.yaml
# Uncomment to enable tracking of application service IP addresses. Implicitly
# enables MAU tracking for application service users.
#
#track_appservice_user_ips: true
# a secret which is used to sign access tokens. If none is specified,
# the registration_shared_secret is used, if one is given; otherwise,
# a secret key is derived from the signing key.
#
#macaroon_secret_key: <PRIVATE STRING>
# a secret which is used to calculate HMACs for form values, to stop
# falsification of values. Must be specified for the User Consent
# forms to work.
#
#form_secret: <PRIVATE STRING>
## Signing Keys ##
# Path to the signing key to sign messages with
#
signing_key_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.signing.key"
# The keys that the server used to sign messages with but won't use
# to sign new messages.
#
old_signing_keys:
# For each key, `key` should be the base64-encoded public key, and
# `expired_ts`should be the time (in milliseconds since the unix epoch) that
# it was last used.
#
# It is possible to build an entry from an old signing.key file using the
# `export_signing_key` script which is provided with synapse.
#
# For example:
#
#"ed25519:id": { key: "base64string", expired_ts: 123456789123 }
# How long key response published by this server is valid for.
# Used to set the valid_until_ts in /key/v2 APIs.
# Determines how quickly servers will query to check which keys
# are still valid.
#
#key_refresh_interval: 1d
# The trusted servers to download signing keys from.
#
# When we need to fetch a signing key, each server is tried in parallel.
#
# Normally, the connection to the key server is validated via TLS certificates.
# Additional security can be provided by configuring a `verify key`, which
# will make synapse check that the response is signed by that key.
#
# This setting supercedes an older setting named `perspectives`. The old format
# is still supported for backwards-compatibility, but it is deprecated.
#
# 'trusted_key_servers' defaults to matrix.org, but using it will generate a
# warning on start-up. To suppress this warning, set
# 'suppress_key_server_warning' to true.
#
# Options for each entry in the list include:
#
# server_name: the name of the server. required.
#
# verify_keys: an optional map from key id to base64-encoded public key.
# If specified, we will check that the response is signed by at least
# one of the given keys.
#
# accept_keys_insecurely: a boolean. Normally, if `verify_keys` is unset,
# and federation_verify_certificates is not `true`, synapse will refuse
# to start, because this would allow anyone who can spoof DNS responses
# to masquerade as the trusted key server. If you know what you are doing
# and are sure that your network environment provides a secure connection
# to the key server, you can set this to `true` to override this
# behaviour.
#
# An example configuration might look like:
#
#trusted_key_servers:
# - server_name: "my_trusted_server.example.com"
# verify_keys:
# "ed25519:auto": "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmopqr"
# - server_name: "my_other_trusted_server.example.com"
#
trusted_key_servers:
- server_name: "matrix.org"
# Uncomment the following to disable the warning that is emitted when the
# trusted_key_servers include 'matrix.org'. See above.
#
#suppress_key_server_warning: true
# The signing keys to use when acting as a trusted key server. If not specified
# defaults to the server signing key.
#
# Can contain multiple keys, one per line.
#
#key_server_signing_keys_path: "key_server_signing_keys.key"
## Single sign-on integration ##
# The following settings can be used to make Synapse use a single sign-on
# provider for authentication, instead of its internal password database.
#
# You will probably also want to set the following options to `false` to
# disable the regular login/registration flows:
# * enable_registration
# * password_config.enabled
#
# You will also want to investigate the settings under the "sso" configuration
# section below.
# Enable SAML2 for registration and login. Uses pysaml2.
#
# At least one of `sp_config` or `config_path` must be set in this section to
# enable SAML login.
#
# Once SAML support is enabled, a metadata file will be exposed at
# https://<server>:<port>/_synapse/client/saml2/metadata.xml, which you may be able to
# use to configure your SAML IdP with. Alternatively, you can manually configure
# the IdP to use an ACS location of
# https://<server>:<port>/_synapse/client/saml2/authn_response.
#
saml2_config:
# `sp_config` is the configuration for the pysaml2 Service Provider.
# See pysaml2 docs for format of config.
#
# Default values will be used for the 'entityid' and 'service' settings,
# so it is not normally necessary to specify them unless you need to
# override them.
#
sp_config:
# Point this to the IdP's metadata. You must provide either a local
# file via the `local` attribute or (preferably) a URL via the
# `remote` attribute.
#
#metadata:
# local: ["saml2/idp.xml"]
# remote:
# - url: https://our_idp/metadata.xml
# Allowed clock difference in seconds between the homeserver and IdP.
#
# Uncomment the below to increase the accepted time difference from 0 to 3 seconds.
#
#accepted_time_diff: 3
# By default, the user has to go to our login page first. If you'd like
# to allow IdP-initiated login, set 'allow_unsolicited: true' in a
# 'service.sp' section:
#
#service:
# sp:
# allow_unsolicited: true
# The examples below are just used to generate our metadata xml, and you
# may well not need them, depending on your setup. Alternatively you
# may need a whole lot more detail - see the pysaml2 docs!

# The lifetime of a SAML session. This defines how long a user has to
# complete the authentication process, if allow_unsolicited is unset.
# The default is 15 minutes.
#
#saml_session_lifetime: 5m
# An external module can be provided here as a custom solution to
# mapping attributes returned from a saml provider onto a matrix user.
#
user_mapping_provider:
# The custom module's class. Uncomment to use a custom module.
#
#module: mapping_provider.SamlMappingProvider
# Custom configuration values for the module. Below options are
# intended for the built-in provider, they should be changed if
# using a custom module. This section will be passed as a Python
# dictionary to the module's `parse_config` method.
#
config:
# The SAML attribute (after mapping via the attribute maps) to use
# to derive the Matrix ID from. 'uid' by default.
#
# Note: This used to be configured by the
# saml2_config.mxid_source_attribute option. If that is still
# defined, its value will be used instead.
#
#mxid_source_attribute: displayName
# The mapping system to use for mapping the saml attribute onto a
# matrix ID.
#
# Options include:
# * 'hexencode' (which maps unpermitted characters to '=xx')
# * 'dotreplace' (which replaces unpermitted characters with
# '.').
# The default is 'hexencode'.
#
# Note: This used to be configured by the
# saml2_config.mxid_mapping option. If that is still defined, its
# value will be used instead.
#
#mxid_mapping: dotreplace
# In previous versions of synapse, the mapping from SAML attribute to
# MXID was always calculated dynamically rather than stored in a
# table. For backwards- compatibility, we will look for user_ids
# matching such a pattern before creating a new account.
#
# This setting controls the SAML attribute which will be used for this
# backwards-compatibility lookup. Typically it should be 'uid', but if
# the attribute maps are changed, it may be necessary to change it.
#
# The default is 'uid'.
#
#grandfathered_mxid_source_attribute: upn
# It is possible to configure Synapse to only allow logins if SAML attributes
# match particular values. The requirements can be listed under
# `attribute_requirements` as shown below. All of the listed attributes must
# match for the login to be permitted.
#
#attribute_requirements:
# - attribute: userGroup
# value: "staff"
# - attribute: department
# value: "sales"
# If the metadata XML contains multiple IdP entities then the `idp_entityid`
# option must be set to the entity to redirect users to.
#
# Most deployments only have a single IdP entity and so should omit this
# option.
#
#idp_entityid: 'https://our_idp/entityid'
# List of OpenID Connect (OIDC) / OAuth 2.0 identity providers, for registration
# and login.
#
# Options for each entry include:
#
# idp_id: a unique identifier for this identity provider. Used internally
# by Synapse; should be a single word such as 'github'.
#
# Note that, if this is changed, users authenticating via that provider
# will no longer be recognised as the same user!
#
# (Use "oidc" here if you are migrating from an old "oidc_config"
# configuration.)
#
# idp_name: A user-facing name for this identity provider, which is used to
# offer the user a choice of login mechanisms.
#
# idp_icon: An optional icon for this identity provider, which is presented
# by clients and Synapse's own IdP picker page. If given, must be an
# MXC URI of the format mxc://<server-name>/<media-id>. (An easy way to
# obtain such an MXC URI is to upload an image to an (unencrypted) room
# and then copy the "url" from the source of the event.)
#
# idp_brand: An optional brand for this identity provider, allowing clients
# to style the login flow according to the identity provider in question.
# See the spec for possible options here.
#
# discover: set to 'false' to disable the use of the OIDC discovery mechanism
# to discover endpoints. Defaults to true.
#
# issuer: Required. The OIDC issuer. Used to validate tokens and (if discovery
# is enabled) to discover the provider's endpoints.
#
# client_id: Required. oauth2 client id to use.
#
# client_secret: oauth2 client secret to use. May be omitted if
# client_secret_jwt_key is given, or if client_auth_method is 'none'.
#
# client_secret_jwt_key: Alternative to client_secret: details of a key used
# to create a JSON Web Token to be used as an OAuth2 client secret. If
# given, must be a dictionary with the following properties:
#
# key: a pem-encoded signing key. Must be a suitable key for the
# algorithm specified. Required unless 'key_file' is given.
#
# key_file: the path to file containing a pem-encoded signing key file.
# Required unless 'key' is given.
#
# jwt_header: a dictionary giving properties to include in the JWT
# header. Must include the key 'alg', giving the algorithm used to
# sign the JWT, such as "ES256", using the JWA identifiers in
# RFC7518.
#
# jwt_payload: an optional dictionary giving properties to include in
# the JWT payload. Normally this should include an 'iss' key.
#
# client_auth_method: auth method to use when exchanging the token. Valid
# values are 'client_secret_basic' (default), 'client_secret_post' and
# 'none'.
#
# scopes: list of scopes to request. This should normally include the "openid"
# scope. Defaults to ["openid"].
#
# authorization_endpoint: the oauth2 authorization endpoint. Required if
# provider discovery is disabled.
#
# token_endpoint: the oauth2 token endpoint. Required if provider discovery is
# disabled.
#
# userinfo_endpoint: the OIDC userinfo endpoint. Required if discovery is
# disabled and the 'openid' scope is not requested.
#
# jwks_uri: URI where to fetch the JWKS. Required if discovery is disabled and
# the 'openid' scope is used.
#
# skip_verification: set to 'true' to skip metadata verification. Use this if
# you are connecting to a provider that is not OpenID Connect compliant.
# Defaults to false. Avoid this in production.
#
# user_profile_method: Whether to fetch the user profile from the userinfo
# endpoint. Valid values are: 'auto' or 'userinfo_endpoint'.
#
# Defaults to 'auto', which fetches the userinfo endpoint if 'openid' is
# included in 'scopes'. Set to 'userinfo_endpoint' to always fetch the
# userinfo endpoint.
#
# allow_existing_users: set to 'true' to allow a user logging in via OIDC to
# match a pre-existing account instead of failing. This could be used if
# switching from password logins to OIDC. Defaults to false.
#
# user_mapping_provider: Configuration for how attributes returned from a OIDC
# provider are mapped onto a matrix user. This setting has the following
# sub-properties:
#
# module: The class name of a custom mapping module. Default is
# 'synapse.handlers.oidc.JinjaOidcMappingProvider'.
# See https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/sso_mapping_providers.html#openid-mapping-providers
# for information on implementing a custom mapping provider.
#
# config: Configuration for the mapping provider module. This section will
# be passed as a Python dictionary to the user mapping provider
# module's `parse_config` method.
#
# For the default provider, the following settings are available:
#
# subject_claim: name of the claim containing a unique identifier
# for the user. Defaults to 'sub', which OpenID Connect
# compliant providers should provide.
#
# localpart_template: Jinja2 template for the localpart of the MXID.
# If this is not set, the user will be prompted to choose their
# own username (see 'sso_auth_account_details.html' in the 'sso'
# section of this file).
#
# display_name_template: Jinja2 template for the display name to set
# on first login. If unset, no displayname will be set.
#
# email_template: Jinja2 template for the email address of the user.
# If unset, no email address will be added to the account.
#
# extra_attributes: a map of Jinja2 templates for extra attributes
# to send back to the client during login.
# Note that these are non-standard and clients will ignore them
# without modifications.
#
# When rendering, the Jinja2 templates are given a 'user' variable,
# which is set to the claims returned by the UserInfo Endpoint and/or
# in the ID Token.
#
# It is possible to configure Synapse to only allow logins if certain attributes
# match particular values in the OIDC userinfo. The requirements can be listed under
# `attribute_requirements` as shown below. All of the listed attributes must
# match for the login to be permitted. Additional attributes can be added to
# userinfo by expanding the `scopes` section of the OIDC config to retrieve
# additional information from the OIDC provider.
#
# If the OIDC claim is a list, then the attribute must match any value in the list.
# Otherwise, it must exactly match the value of the claim. Using the example
# below, the `family_name` claim MUST be "Stephensson", but the `groups`
# claim MUST contain "admin".
#
# attribute_requirements:
# - attribute: family_name
# value: "Stephensson"
# - attribute: groups
# value: "admin"
#
# See https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/openid.html
# for information on how to configure these options.
#
# For backwards compatibility, it is also possible to configure a single OIDC
# provider via an 'oidc_config' setting. This is now deprecated and admins are
# advised to migrate to the 'oidc_providers' format. (When doing that migration,
# use 'oidc' for the idp_id to ensure that existing users continue to be
# recognised.)

#
#server_url: "https://cas-server.com"
# The attribute of the CAS response to use as the display name.
#
# If unset, no displayname will be set.

sso:
# A list of client URLs which are whitelisted so that the user does not

# whose URL starts with an entry in the following list will not be subject
# to an additional confirmation step after the SSO login is completed.
#
# WARNING: An entry such as "https://my.client" is insecure, because it
# will also match "https://my.client.evil.site", exposing your users to
# phishing attacks from evil.site. To avoid this, include a slash after the
# hostname: "https://my.client/".
#
# If public_baseurl is set, then the login fallback page (used by clients

# 'template_dir' gives the location of the templates for the HTML forms.
# This directory should contain one subdirectory per language (eg, 'en', 'fr'),
# and each language directory should contain the policy document (named as
# '<version>.html') and a success page (success.html).
#
# 'version' specifies the 'current' version of the policy document. It defines
# the version to be served by the consent resource if there is no 'v'
# parameter.
#
# 'server_notice_content', if enabled, will send a user a "Server Notice"
# asking them to consent to the privacy policy. The 'server_notices' section
# must also be configured for this to work. Notices will *not* be sent to
# guest users unless 'send_server_notice_to_guests' is set to true.
#
# 'block_events_error', if set, will block any attempts to send events
# until the user consents to the privacy policy. The value of the setting is
# used as the text of the error.
#
# 'require_at_registration', if enabled, will add a step to the registration
# process, similar to how captcha works. Users will be required to accept the
# policy before their account is created.

# If no rules match the request is denied. An empty list means no one
# can create aliases.
#
# Options for the rules include:
#
# user_id: Matches against the creator of the alias
# alias: Matches against the alias being created
# room_id: Matches against the room ID the alias is being pointed at
# action: Whether to "allow" or "deny" the request if the rule matches
#
# The default is:
#

# room_id: "*"
# action: allow
# The `room_list_publication_rules` option controls who can publish and
# which rooms can be published in the public room list.
#
# The format of this option is the same as that for
# `alias_creation_rules`.
#
# If the room has one or more aliases associated with it, only one of
# the aliases needs to match the alias rule. If there are no aliases
# then only rules with `alias: *` match.
#
# If no rules match the request is denied. An empty list means no one

<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="structured-logging"><a class="header" href="#structured-logging">Structured Logging</a></h1>
<p>A structured logging system can be useful when your logs are destined for a
machine to parse and process. By maintaining its machine-readable characteristics,
it enables more efficient searching and aggregations when consumed by software
such as the "ELK stack".</p>
<p>Synapse's structured logging system is configured via the file that Synapse's
<code>log_config</code> config option points to. The file should include a formatter which
uses the <code>synapse.logging.TerseJsonFormatter</code> class included with Synapse and a
handler which uses the above formatter.</p>
<p>There is also a <code>synapse.logging.JsonFormatter</code> option which does not include
a timestamp in the resulting JSON. This is useful if the log ingester adds its
own timestamp.</p>
<p>A structured logging configuration looks similar to the following:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">version: 1
formatters:
structured:
class: synapse.logging.TerseJsonFormatter
handlers:
file:
class: logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler
formatter: structured
filename: /path/to/my/logs/homeserver.log
when: midnight
backupCount: 3 # Does not include the current log file.
encoding: utf8
loggers:
synapse:
level: INFO
handlers: [remote]
synapse.storage.SQL:
level: WARNING
</code></pre>
<p>The above logging config will set Synapse as 'INFO' logging level by default,
with the SQL layer at 'WARNING', and will log to a file, stored as JSON.</p>
<p>It is also possible to figure Synapse to log to a remote endpoint by using the
<code>synapse.logging.RemoteHandler</code> class included with Synapse. It takes the
following arguments:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>host</code>: Hostname or IP address of the log aggregator.</li>
<li><code>port</code>: Numerical port to contact on the host.</li>
<li><code>maximum_buffer</code>: (Optional, defaults to 1000) The maximum buffer size to allow.</li>
</ul>
<p>A remote structured logging configuration looks similar to the following:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">version: 1
formatters:
structured:
class: synapse.logging.TerseJsonFormatter
handlers:
remote:
class: synapse.logging.RemoteHandler
formatter: structured
host: 10.1.2.3
port: 9999
loggers:
synapse:
level: INFO
handlers: [remote]
synapse.storage.SQL:
level: WARNING
</code></pre>
<p>The above logging config will set Synapse as 'INFO' logging level by default,
with the SQL layer at 'WARNING', and will log JSON formatted messages to a
remote endpoint at 10.1.2.3:9999.</p>
<h2 id="upgrading-from-legacy-structured-logging-configuration"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-from-legacy-structured-logging-configuration">Upgrading from legacy structured logging configuration</a></h2>
<p>Versions of Synapse prior to v1.23.0 included a custom structured logging
configuration which is deprecated. It used a <code>structured: true</code> flag and
configured <code>drains</code> instead of <code>handlers</code> and <code>formatters</code>.</p>
<p>Synapse currently automatically converts the old configuration to the new
configuration, but this will be removed in a future version of Synapse. The
following reference can be used to update your configuration. Based on the drain
<code>type</code>, we can pick a new handler:</p>
<ol>
<li>For a type of <code>console</code>, <code>console_json</code>, or <code>console_json_terse</code>: a handler
with a class of <code>logging.StreamHandler</code> and a <code>stream</code> of <code>ext://sys.stdout</code>
or <code>ext://sys.stderr</code> should be used.</li>
<li>For a type of <code>file</code> or <code>file_json</code>: a handler of <code>logging.FileHandler</code> with
a location of the file path should be used.</li>
<li>For a type of <code>network_json_terse</code>: a handler of <code>synapse.logging.RemoteHandler</code>
with the host and port should be used.</li>
</ol>
<p>Then based on the drain <code>type</code> we can pick a new formatter:</p>
<ol>
<li>For a type of <code>console</code> or <code>file</code> no formatter is necessary.</li>
<li>For a type of <code>console_json</code> or <code>file_json</code>: a formatter of
<code>synapse.logging.JsonFormatter</code> should be used.</li>
<li>For a type of <code>console_json_terse</code> or <code>network_json_terse</code>: a formatter of
<code>synapse.logging.TerseJsonFormatter</code> should be used.</li>
</ol>
<p>For each new handler and formatter they should be added to the logging configuration
and then assigned to either a logger or the root logger.</p>
<p>An example legacy configuration:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">structured: true
loggers:
synapse:
level: INFO
synapse.storage.SQL:
level: WARNING
drains:
console:
type: console
location: stdout
file:
type: file_json
location: homeserver.log
</code></pre>
<p>Would be converted into a new configuration:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">version: 1
formatters:
json:
class: synapse.logging.JsonFormatter
handlers:
console:
class: logging.StreamHandler
location: ext://sys.stdout
file:
class: logging.FileHandler
formatter: json
filename: homeserver.log
loggers:
synapse:
level: INFO
handlers: [console, file]
synapse.storage.SQL:
level: WARNING
</code></pre>
<p>The new logging configuration is a bit more verbose, but significantly more
flexible. It allows for configuration that were not previously possible, such as
sending plain logs over the network, or using different handlers for different
modules.</p>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="user-authentication"><a class="header" href="#user-authentication">User Authentication</a></h1>
<p>Synapse supports multiple methods of authenticating users, either out-of-the-box or through custom pluggable
authentication modules.</p>
<p>Included in Synapse is support for authenticating users via:</p>
<ul>
<li>A username and password.</li>
<li>An email address and password.</li>
<li>Single Sign-On through the SAML, Open ID Connect or CAS protocols.</li>
<li>JSON Web Tokens.</li>
<li>An administrator's shared secret.</li>
</ul>
<p>Synapse can additionally be extended to support custom authentication schemes through optional "password auth provider"
modules.</p>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="configuring-synapse-to-authenticate-against-an-openid-connect-provider"><a class="header" href="#configuring-synapse-to-authenticate-against-an-openid-connect-provider">Configuring Synapse to authenticate against an OpenID Connect provider</a></h1>
<p>Synapse can be configured to use an OpenID Connect Provider (OP) for
authentication, instead of its own local password database.</p>
<p>Any OP should work with Synapse, as long as it supports the authorization code
flow. There are a few options for that:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>start a local OP. Synapse has been tested with <a href="https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/">Hydra</a> and
<a href="https://github.com/dexidp/dex">Dex</a>. Note that for an OP to work, it should be served under a
secure (HTTPS) origin. A certificate signed with a self-signed, locally
trusted CA should work. In that case, start Synapse with a <code>SSL_CERT_FILE</code>
environment variable set to the path of the CA.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>set up a SaaS OP, like <a href="https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/openid-connect">Google</a>, <a href="https://auth0.com/">Auth0</a> or
<a href="https://www.okta.com/">Okta</a>. Synapse has been tested with Auth0 and Google.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>It may also be possible to use other OAuth2 providers which provide the
<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1">authorization code grant type</a>,
such as <a href="https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps">Github</a>.</p>
<h2 id="preparing-synapse"><a class="header" href="#preparing-synapse">Preparing Synapse</a></h2>
<p>The OpenID integration in Synapse uses the
<a href="https://pypi.org/project/Authlib/"><code>authlib</code></a> library, which must be installed
as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The relevant libraries are included in the Docker images and Debian packages
provided by <code>matrix.org</code> so no further action is needed.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you installed Synapse into a virtualenv, run <code>/path/to/env/bin/pip install matrix-synapse[oidc]</code> to install the necessary dependencies.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For other installation mechanisms, see the documentation provided by the
maintainer.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To enable the OpenID integration, you should then add a section to the <code>oidc_providers</code>
setting in your configuration file (or uncomment one of the existing examples).
See <a href="./sample_config.yaml">sample_config.yaml</a> for some sample settings, as well as
the text below for example configurations for specific providers.</p>
<h2 id="sample-configs"><a class="header" href="#sample-configs">Sample configs</a></h2>
<p>Here are a few configs for providers that should work with Synapse.</p>

<p>Go to <em>Certificates & secrets</em> and register a new client secret. Make note of your
Directory (tenant) ID as it will be used in the Azure links.

<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="sso-mapping-providers"><a class="header" href="#sso-mapping-providers">SSO Mapping Providers</a></h1>
<p>A mapping provider is a Python class (loaded via a Python module) that
works out how to map attributes of a SSO response to Matrix-specific
user attributes. Details such as user ID localpart, displayname, and even avatar
URLs are all things that can be mapped from talking to a SSO service.</p>
<p>As an example, a SSO service may return the email address
"john.smith@example.com" for a user, whereas Synapse will need to figure out how
to turn that into a displayname when creating a Matrix user for this individual.
It may choose <code>John Smith</code>, or <code>Smith, John [Example.com]</code> or any number of
variations. As each Synapse configuration may want something different, this is
where SAML mapping providers come into play.</p>
<p>SSO mapping providers are currently supported for OpenID and SAML SSO
configurations. Please see the details below for how to implement your own.</p>
<p>It is up to the mapping provider whether the user should be assigned a predefined
Matrix ID based on the SSO attributes, or if the user should be allowed to
choose their own username.</p>
<p>In the first case - where users are automatically allocated a Matrix ID - it is
the responsibility of the mapping provider to normalise the SSO attributes and
map them to a valid Matrix ID. The <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#user-identifiers">specification for Matrix
IDs</a> has some
information about what is considered valid.</p>
<p>If the mapping provider does not assign a Matrix ID, then Synapse will
automatically serve an HTML page allowing the user to pick their own username.</p>
<p>External mapping providers are provided to Synapse in the form of an external
Python module. You can retrieve this module from <a href="https://pypi.org">PyPI</a> or elsewhere,
but it must be importable via Synapse (e.g. it must be in the same virtualenv
as Synapse). The Synapse config is then modified to point to the mapping provider
(and optionally provide additional configuration for it).</p>
<h2 id="openid-mapping-providers"><a class="header" href="#openid-mapping-providers">OpenID Mapping Providers</a></h2>
<p>The OpenID mapping provider can be customized by editing the
<code>oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module</code> config option.</p>
<p><code>oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.config</code> allows you to provide custom
configuration options to the module. Check with the module's documentation for
what options it provides (if any). The options listed by default are for the
user mapping provider built in to Synapse. If using a custom module, you should
comment these options out and use those specified by the module instead.</p>
<h3 id="building-a-custom-openid-mapping-provider"><a class="header" href="#building-a-custom-openid-mapping-provider">Building a Custom OpenID Mapping Provider</a></h3>
<p>A custom mapping provider must specify the following methods:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>__init__(self, parsed_config)</code>
<ul>
<li>Arguments:
<ul>
<li><code>parsed_config</code> - A configuration object that is the return value of the

Runs on homeserver startup. Providers should extract and validate
any option values they need here.</li>
</ul>
</li>

</ul>
</li>
<li>This method must return a string, which is the unique, immutable identifier

<li><code>token</code> - A dictionary which includes information necessary to make
further requests to the OpenID provider.</li>
<li><code>failures</code> - An <code>int</code> that represents the amount of times the returned
mxid localpart mapping has failed. This should be used
to create a deduplicated mxid localpart which should be
returned instead. For example, if this method returns
<code>john.doe</code> as the value of <code>localpart</code> in the returned
dict, and that is already taken on the homeserver, this
method will be called again with the same parameters but
with failures=1. The method should then return a different

<li><code>localpart</code>: A string, used to generate the Matrix ID. If this is
<code>None</code>, the user is prompted to pick their own username. This is only used
during a user's first login. Once a localpart has been associated with a

</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Returns a dictionary that is suitable to be serialized to JSON. This

<p>This method must return a dictionary, which will then be used by Synapse
to build a new user. The following keys are allowed:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>mxid_localpart</code> - A string, the mxid localpart of the new user. If this is
<code>None</code>, the user is prompted to pick their own username. This is only used
during a user's first login. Once a localpart has been associated with a
remote user ID (see <code>get_remote_user_id</code>) it cannot be updated.</li>
<li><code>displayname</code> - The displayname of the new user. If not provided, will default to

<p>Alternatively it can raise a <code>synapse.api.errors.RedirectException</code> to
redirect the user to another page. This is useful to prompt the user for

<p>Password auth providers offer a way for server administrators to
integrate their Synapse installation with an existing authentication
system.</p>
<p>A password auth provider is a Python class which is dynamically loaded
into Synapse, and provides a number of methods by which it can integrate
with the authentication system.</p>
<p>This document serves as a reference for those looking to implement their
own password auth providers. Additionally, here is a list of known
password auth provider module implementations:</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<h2 id="required-methods"><a class="header" href="#required-methods">Required methods</a></h2>
<p>Password auth provider classes must provide the following methods:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>parse_config(config)</code>
This method is passed the <code>config</code> object for this module from the
homeserver configuration file.</p>
<p>It should perform any appropriate sanity checks on the provided
configuration, and return an object which is then passed into
<code>__init__</code>.</p>
<p>This method should have the <code>@staticmethod</code> decoration.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>__init__(self, config, account_handler)</code></p>
<p>The constructor is passed the config object returned by
<code>parse_config</code>, and a <code>synapse.module_api.ModuleApi</code> object which
allows the password provider to check if accounts exist and/or create
new ones.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="optional-methods"><a class="header" href="#optional-methods">Optional methods</a></h2>
<p>Password auth provider classes may optionally provide the following methods:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>get_db_schema_files(self)</code></p>
<p>This method, if implemented, should return an Iterable of
<code>(name, stream)</code> pairs of database schema files. Each file is applied
in turn at initialisation, and a record is then made in the database
so that it is not re-applied on the next start.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>get_supported_login_types(self)</code></p>
<p>This method, if implemented, should return a <code>dict</code> mapping from a
login type identifier (such as <code>m.login.password</code>) to an iterable
giving the fields which must be provided by the user in the submission
to <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#post-matrix-client-r0-login">the <code>/login</code> API</a>.
These fields are passed in the <code>login_dict</code> dictionary to <code>check_auth</code>.</p>
<p>For example, if a password auth provider wants to implement a custom
login type of <code>com.example.custom_login</code>, where the client is expected
to pass the fields <code>secret1</code> and <code>secret2</code>, the provider should
implement this method and return the following dict:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">{"com.example.custom_login": ("secret1", "secret2")}
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>check_auth(self, username, login_type, login_dict)</code></p>
<p>This method does the real work. If implemented, it
will be called for each login attempt where the login type matches one
of the keys returned by <code>get_supported_login_types</code>.</p>
<p>It is passed the (possibly unqualified) <code>user</code> field provided by the client,
the login type, and a dictionary of login secrets passed by the
client.</p>
<p>The method should return an <code>Awaitable</code> object, which resolves
to the canonical <code>@localpart:domain</code> user ID if authentication is
successful, and <code>None</code> if not.</p>
<p>Alternatively, the <code>Awaitable</code> can resolve to a <code>(str, func)</code> tuple, in
which case the second field is a callback which will be called with
the result from the <code>/login</code> call (including <code>access_token</code>,
<code>device_id</code>, etc.)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>check_3pid_auth(self, medium, address, password)</code></p>
<p>This method, if implemented, is called when a user attempts to
register or log in with a third party identifier, such as email. It is
passed the medium (ex. "email"), an address (ex.
"<a href="mailto:jdoe@example.com">jdoe@example.com</a>") and the user's password.</p>
<p>The method should return an <code>Awaitable</code> object, which resolves
to a <code>str</code> containing the user's (canonical) User id if
authentication was successful, and <code>None</code> if not.</p>
<p>As with <code>check_auth</code>, the <code>Awaitable</code> may alternatively resolve to a
<code>(user_id, callback)</code> tuple.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>check_password(self, user_id, password)</code></p>
<p>This method provides a simpler interface than
<code>get_supported_login_types</code> and <code>check_auth</code> for password auth
providers that just want to provide a mechanism for validating
<code>m.login.password</code> logins.</p>
<p>If implemented, it will be called to check logins with an
<code>m.login.password</code> login type. It is passed a qualified
<code>@localpart:domain</code> user id, and the password provided by the user.</p>
<p>The method should return an <code>Awaitable</code> object, which resolves
to <code>True</code> if authentication is successful, and <code>False</code> if not.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>on_logged_out(self, user_id, device_id, access_token)</code></p>
<p>This method, if implemented, is called when a user logs out. It is
passed the qualified user ID, the ID of the deactivated device (if
any: access tokens are occasionally created without an associated
device ID), and the (now deactivated) access token.</p>
<p>It may return an <code>Awaitable</code> object; the logout request will
wait for the <code>Awaitable</code> to complete, but the result is ignored.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="jwt-login-type"><a class="header" href="#jwt-login-type">JWT Login Type</a></h1>
<p>Synapse comes with a non-standard login type to support
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_Web_Token">JSON Web Tokens</a>. In general the
documentation for
<a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#login">the login endpoint</a>
is still valid (and the mechanism works similarly to the
<a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#token-based">token based login</a>).</p>
<p>To log in using a JSON Web Token, clients should submit a <code>/login</code> request as
follows:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"type": "org.matrix.login.jwt",
"token": "<jwt>"
}
</code></pre>
<p>Note that the login type of <code>m.login.jwt</code> is supported, but is deprecated. This
will be removed in a future version of Synapse.</p>
<p>The <code>token</code> field should include the JSON web token with the following claims:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <code>sub</code> (subject) claim is required and should encode the local part of the
user ID.</li>
<li>The expiration time (<code>exp</code>), not before time (<code>nbf</code>), and issued at (<code>iat</code>)
claims are optional, but validated if present.</li>
<li>The issuer (<code>iss</code>) claim is optional, but required and validated if configured.</li>
<li>The audience (<code>aud</code>) claim is optional, but required and validated if configured.
Providing the audience claim when not configured will cause validation to fail.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the case that the token is not valid, the homeserver must respond with
<code>403 Forbidden</code> and an error code of <code>M_FORBIDDEN</code>.</p>
<p>As with other login types, there are additional fields (e.g. <code>device_id</code> and
<code>initial_device_display_name</code>) which can be included in the above request.</p>
<h2 id="preparing-synapse-1"><a class="header" href="#preparing-synapse-1">Preparing Synapse</a></h2>
<p>The JSON Web Token integration in Synapse uses the
<a href="https://pypi.org/project/pyjwt/"><code>PyJWT</code></a> library, which must be installed
as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The relevant libraries are included in the Docker images and Debian packages
provided by <code>matrix.org</code> so no further action is needed.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you installed Synapse into a virtualenv, run <code>/path/to/env/bin/pip install synapse[pyjwt]</code> to install the necessary dependencies.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For other installation mechanisms, see the documentation provided by the
maintainer.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To enable the JSON web token integration, you should then add an <code>jwt_config</code> section
to your configuration file (or uncomment the <code>enabled: true</code> line in the
existing section). See <a href="./sample_config.yaml">sample_config.yaml</a> for some
sample settings.</p>

<p>The reCAPTCHA API requires that the IP address of the user who solved the
CAPTCHA is sent. If the client is connecting through a proxy or load balancer,
it may be required to use the <code>X-Forwarded-For</code> (XFF) header instead of the origin
IP address. This can be configured using the <code>x_forwarded</code> directive in the
listeners section of the <code>homeserver.yaml</code> configuration file.</p>

<p>The registration of new application services depends on the homeserver used.
In synapse, you need to create a new configuration file for your AS and add it
to the list specified under the <code>app_service_config_files</code> config
option in your synapse config.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">app_service_config_files:
- /home/matrix/.synapse/<your-AS>.yaml
</code></pre>
<p>The format of the AS configuration file is as follows:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">url: <base url of AS>
as_token: <token AS will add to requests to HS>
hs_token: <token HS will add to requests to AS>
sender_localpart: <localpart of AS user>

- exclusive: <bool>
regex: <regex>
group_id: <group>

</code></pre>
<p><code>exclusive</code>: If enabled, only this application service is allowed to register users in its namespace(s).
<code>group_id</code>: All users of this application service are dynamically joined to this group. This is useful for e.g user organisation or flairs.</p>

<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="server-notices"><a class="header" href="#server-notices">Server Notices</a></h1>
<p>'Server Notices' are a new feature introduced in Synapse 0.30. They provide a
channel whereby server administrators can send messages to users on the server.</p>
<p>They are used as part of communication of the server polices (see
<a href="consent_tracking.html">Consent Tracking</a>), however the intention is that
they may also find a use for features such as "Message of the day".</p>
<p>This is a feature specific to Synapse, but it uses standard Matrix
communication mechanisms, so should work with any Matrix client.</p>
<h2 id="user-experience"><a class="header" href="#user-experience">User experience</a></h2>
<p>When the user is first sent a server notice, they will get an invitation to a
room (typically called 'Server Notices', though this is configurable in
<code>homeserver.yaml</code>). They will be <strong>unable to reject</strong> this invitation -
attempts to do so will receive an error.</p>
<p>Once they accept the invitation, they will see the notice message in the room
history; it will appear to have come from the 'server notices user' (see
below).</p>
<p>The user is prevented from sending any messages in this room by the power
levels.</p>
<p>Having joined the room, the user can leave the room if they want. Subsequent
server notices will then cause a new room to be created.</p>
<h2 id="synapse-configuration"><a class="header" href="#synapse-configuration">Synapse configuration</a></h2>
<p>Server notices come from a specific user id on the server. Server
administrators are free to choose the user id - something like <code>server</code> is
suggested, meaning the notices will come from
<code>@server:<your_server_name></code>. Once the Server Notices user is configured, that
user id becomes a special, privileged user, so administrators should ensure
that <strong>it is not already allocated</strong>.</p>
<p>In order to support server notices, it is necessary to add some configuration
to the <code>homeserver.yaml</code> file. In particular, you should add a <code>server_notices</code>
section, which should look like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">server_notices:
system_mxid_localpart: server
system_mxid_display_name: "Server Notices"
system_mxid_avatar_url: "mxc://server.com/oumMVlgDnLYFaPVkExemNVVZ"
room_name: "Server Notices"
</code></pre>
<p>The only compulsory setting is <code>system_mxid_localpart</code>, which defines the user
id of the Server Notices user, as above. <code>room_name</code> defines the name of the
room which will be created.</p>
<p><code>system_mxid_display_name</code> and <code>system_mxid_avatar_url</code> can be used to set the
displayname and avatar of the Server Notices user.</p>
<h2 id="sending-notices"><a class="header" href="#sending-notices">Sending notices</a></h2>
<p>To send server notices to users you can use the
<a href="admin_api/server_notices.html">admin_api</a>.</p>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="support-in-synapse-for-tracking-agreement-to-server-terms-and-conditions"><a class="header" href="#support-in-synapse-for-tracking-agreement-to-server-terms-and-conditions">Support in Synapse for tracking agreement to server terms and conditions</a></h1>
<p>Synapse 0.30 introduces support for tracking whether users have agreed to the
terms and conditions set by the administrator of a server - and blocking access
to the server until they have.</p>
<p>There are several parts to this functionality; each requires some specific
configuration in <code>homeserver.yaml</code> to be enabled.</p>
<p>Note that various parts of the configuation and this document refer to the
"privacy policy": agreement with a privacy policy is one particular use of this
feature, but of course adminstrators can specify other terms and conditions
unrelated to "privacy" per se.</p>
<h2 id="collecting-policy-agreement-from-a-user"><a class="header" href="#collecting-policy-agreement-from-a-user">Collecting policy agreement from a user</a></h2>
<p>Synapse can be configured to serve the user a simple policy form with an
"accept" button. Clicking "Accept" records the user's acceptance in the
database and shows a success page.</p>
<p>To enable this, first create templates for the policy and success pages.
These should be stored on the local filesystem.</p>
<p>These templates use the <a href="http://jinja.pocoo.org">Jinja2</a> templating language,
and <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/privacy_policy_templates/">docs/privacy_policy_templates</a>
gives examples of the sort of thing that can be done.</p>
<p>Note that the templates must be stored under a name giving the language of the
template - currently this must always be <code>en</code> (for "English");
internationalisation support is intended for the future.</p>
<p>The template for the policy itself should be versioned and named according to
the version: for example <code>1.0.html</code>. The version of the policy which the user
has agreed to is stored in the database.</p>
<p>Once the templates are in place, make the following changes to <code>homeserver.yaml</code>:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Add a <code>user_consent</code> section, which should look like:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">user_consent:
template_dir: privacy_policy_templates
version: 1.0
</code></pre>
<p><code>template_dir</code> points to the directory containing the policy
templates. <code>version</code> defines the version of the policy which will be served
to the user. In the example above, Synapse will serve
<code>privacy_policy_templates/en/1.0.html</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Add a <code>form_secret</code> setting at the top level:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">form_secret: "<unique secret>"
</code></pre>
<p>This should be set to an arbitrary secret string (try <code>pwgen -y 30</code> to
generate suitable secrets).</p>
<p>More on what this is used for below.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Add <code>consent</code> wherever the <code>client</code> resource is currently enabled in the
<code>listeners</code> configuration. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">listeners:
- port: 8008
resources:
- names:
- client
- consent
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Finally, ensure that <code>jinja2</code> is installed. If you are using a virtualenv, this
should be a matter of <code>pip install Jinja2</code>. On debian, try <code>apt-get install python-jinja2</code>.</p>
<p>Once this is complete, and the server has been restarted, try visiting
<code>https://<server>/_matrix/consent</code>. If correctly configured, this should give
an error "Missing string query parameter 'u'". It is now possible to manually
construct URIs where users can give their consent.</p>
<h3 id="enabling-consent-tracking-at-registration"><a class="header" href="#enabling-consent-tracking-at-registration">Enabling consent tracking at registration</a></h3>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Add the following to your configuration:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">user_consent:
require_at_registration: true
policy_name: "Privacy Policy" # or whatever you'd like to call the policy
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>In your consent templates, make use of the <code>public_version</code> variable to
see if an unauthenticated user is viewing the page. This is typically
wrapped around the form that would be used to actually agree to the document:</p>
<pre><code>{% if not public_version %}
<!-- The variables used here are only provided when the 'u' param is given to the homeserver -->
<form method="post" action="consent">
<input type="hidden" name="v" value="{{version}}"/>
<input type="hidden" name="u" value="{{user}}"/>
<input type="hidden" name="h" value="{{userhmac}}"/>
<input type="submit" value="Sure thing!"/>
</form>
{% endif %}
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restart Synapse to apply the changes.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Visiting <code>https://<server>/_matrix/consent</code> should now give you a view of the privacy
document. This is what users will be able to see when registering for accounts.</p>
<h3 id="constructing-the-consent-uri"><a class="header" href="#constructing-the-consent-uri">Constructing the consent URI</a></h3>
<p>It may be useful to manually construct the "consent URI" for a given user - for
instance, in order to send them an email asking them to consent. To do this,
take the base <code>https://<server>/_matrix/consent</code> URL and add the following
query parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>u</code>: the user id of the user. This can either be a full MXID
(<code>@user:server.com</code>) or just the localpart (<code>user</code>).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>h</code>: hex-encoded HMAC-SHA256 of <code>u</code> using the <code>form_secret</code> as a key. It is
possible to calculate this on the commandline with something like:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">echo -n '<user>' | openssl sha256 -hmac '<form_secret>'
</code></pre>
<p>This should result in a URI which looks something like:
<code>https://<server>/_matrix/consent?u=<user>&h=68a152465a4d...</code>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that not providing a <code>u</code> parameter will be interpreted as wanting to view
the document from an unauthenticated perspective, such as prior to registration.
Therefore, the <code>h</code> parameter is not required in this scenario. To enable this
behaviour, set <code>require_at_registration</code> to <code>true</code> in your <code>user_consent</code> config.</p>

<p>It is possible to configure Synapse to send a <a href="server_notices.html">server

version of the policy. To do so:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>ensure that the consent resource is configured, as in the previous section</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>ensure that server notices are configured, as in <a href="server_notices.html">the server notice documentation</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Add <code>server_notice_content</code> under <code>user_consent</code> in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>. For
example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">user_consent:
server_notice_content:
msgtype: m.text
body: >-
Please give your consent to the privacy policy at %(consent_uri)s.
</code></pre>
<p>Synapse automatically replaces the placeholder <code>%(consent_uri)s</code> with the
consent uri for that user.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>ensure that <code>public_baseurl</code> is set in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>, and gives the base
URI that clients use to connect to the server. (It is used to construct
<code>consent_uri</code> in the server notice.)</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>Synapse can be configured to block any attempts to join rooms or send messages
until the user has given their agreement to the policy. (Joining the server
notices room is exempted from this).</p>
<p>To enable this, add <code>block_events_error</code> under <code>user_consent</code>. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">user_consent:

</code></pre>
<p>Synapse automatically replaces the placeholder <code>%(consent_uri)s</code> with the

<p>Options are:</p>

<li>Have an AS which listens for URLs, downloads them, and inserts an event that describes their metadata.</li>

<ul>
<li>Pros:
<ul>
<li>Decouples the implementation entirely from Synapse.</li>
<li>Uses existing Matrix events & content repo to store the metadata.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Cons:
<ul>
<li>Which AS should provide this service for a room, and why should you trust it?</li>
<li>Doesn't work well with E2E; you'd have to cut the AS into every room</li>
<li>the AS would end up subscribing to every room anyway.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ol start="2">
<li>Have a generic preview API (nothing to do with Matrix) that provides a previewing service:</li>

<li>Pros:

<li>Simple and flexible; can be used by any clients at any point</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Cons:
<ul>
<li>If each HS provides one of these independently, all the HSes in a room may needlessly DoS the target URI</li>
<li>We need somewhere to store the URL metadata rather than just using Matrix itself</li>
<li>We can't piggyback on matrix to distribute the metadata between HSes.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ol start="3">
<li>Make the synapse of the sending user responsible for spidering the URL and inserting an event asynchronously which describes the metadata.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Pros:
<ul>
<li>Works transparently for all clients</li>
<li>Piggy-backs nicely on using Matrix for distributing the metadata.</li>
<li>No confusion as to which AS</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Cons:
<ul>
<li>Doesn't work with E2E</li>
<li>We might want to decouple the implementation of the spider from the HS, given spider behaviour can be quite complicated and evolve much more rapidly than the HS. It's more like a bot than a core part of the server.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ol start="4">
<li>Make the sending client use the preview API and insert the event itself when successful.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Pros:
<ul>
<li>Works well with E2E</li>
<li>No custom server functionality</li>
<li>Lets the client customise the preview that they send (like on FB)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Cons:
<ul>
<li>Entirely specific to the sending client, whereas it'd be nice if /any/ URL was correctly previewed if clients support it.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ol start="5">
<li>Have the option of specifying a shared (centralised) previewing service used by a room, to avoid all the different HSes in the room DoSing the target.</li>
</ol>
<p>Best solution is probably a combination of both 2 and 4.</p>
<ul>
<li>Sending clients do their best to create and send a preview at the point of sending the message, perhaps delaying the message until the preview is computed? (This also lets the user validate the preview before sending)</li>
<li>Receiving clients have the option of going and creating their own preview if one doesn't arrive soon enough (or if the original sender didn't create one)</li>
</ul>
<p>This is a bit magical though in that the preview could come from two entirely different sources - the sending HS or your local one. However, this can always be exposed to users: "Generate your own URL previews if none are available?"</p>
<p>This is tantamount also to senders calculating their own thumbnails for sending in advance of the main content - we are trusting the sender not to lie about the content in the thumbnail. Whereas currently thumbnails are calculated by the receiving homeserver to avoid this attack.</p>
<p>However, this kind of phishing attack does exist whether we let senders pick their thumbnails or not, in that a malicious sender can send normal text messages around the attachment claiming it to be legitimate. We could rely on (future) reputation/abuse management to punish users who phish (be it with bogus metadata or bogus descriptions). Bogus metadata is particularly bad though, especially if it's avoidable.</p>
<p>As a first cut, let's do #2 and have the receiver hit the API to calculate its own previews (as it does currently for image thumbnails). We can then extend/optimise this to option 4 as a special extra if needed.</p>

<p>The user directory is currently maintained based on the 'visible' users

<p>The directory info is stored in various tables, which can (typically after

solution to fix it is to execute the SQL <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/storage/schema/main/delta/53/user_dir_populate.sql">here</a>

<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="message-retention-policies"><a class="header" href="#message-retention-policies">Message retention policies</a></h1>
<p>Synapse admins can enable support for message retention policies on
their homeserver. Message retention policies exist at a room level,
follow the semantics described in
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/matthew/msc1763/proposals/1763-configurable-retention-periods.md">MSC1763</a>,
and allow server and room admins to configure how long messages should
be kept in a homeserver's database before being purged from it.
<strong>Please note that, as this feature isn't part of the Matrix
specification yet, this implementation is to be considered as
experimental.</strong> </p>
<p>A message retention policy is mainly defined by its <code>max_lifetime</code>
parameter, which defines how long a message can be kept around after
it was sent to the room. If a room doesn't have a message retention
policy, and there's no default one for a given server, then no message
sent in that room is ever purged on that server.</p>
<p>MSC1763 also specifies semantics for a <code>min_lifetime</code> parameter which
defines the amount of time after which an event <em>can</em> get purged (after
it was sent to the room), but Synapse doesn't currently support it
beyond registering it.</p>
<p>Both <code>max_lifetime</code> and <code>min_lifetime</code> are optional parameters.</p>
<p>Note that message retention policies don't apply to state events.</p>
<p>Once an event reaches its expiry date (defined as the time it was sent
plus the value for <code>max_lifetime</code> in the room), two things happen:</p>
<ul>
<li>Synapse stops serving the event to clients via any endpoint.</li>
<li>The message gets picked up by the next purge job (see the "Purge jobs"
section) and is removed from Synapse's database.</li>
</ul>
<p>Since purge jobs don't run continuously, this means that an event might
stay in a server's database for longer than the value for <code>max_lifetime</code>
in the room would allow, though hidden from clients.</p>
<p>Similarly, if a server (with support for message retention policies
enabled) receives from another server an event that should have been
purged according to its room's policy, then the receiving server will
process and store that event until it's picked up by the next purge job,
though it will always hide it from clients.</p>
<p>Synapse requires at least one message in each room, so it will never
delete the last message in a room. It will, however, hide it from
clients.</p>
<h2 id="server-configuration"><a class="header" href="#server-configuration">Server configuration</a></h2>
<p>Support for this feature can be enabled and configured in the
<code>retention</code> section of the Synapse configuration file (see the
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.36.0/docs/sample_config.yaml#L451-L518">sample file</a>).</p>
<p>To enable support for message retention policies, set the setting
<code>enabled</code> in this section to <code>true</code>.</p>
<h3 id="default-policy"><a class="header" href="#default-policy">Default policy</a></h3>
<p>A default message retention policy is a policy defined in Synapse's
configuration that is used by Synapse for every room that doesn't have a
message retention policy configured in its state. This allows server
admins to ensure that messages are never kept indefinitely in a server's
database. </p>
<p>A default policy can be defined as such, in the <code>retention</code> section of
the configuration file:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> default_policy:
min_lifetime: 1d
max_lifetime: 1y
</code></pre>
<p>Here, <code>min_lifetime</code> and <code>max_lifetime</code> have the same meaning and level
of support as previously described. They can be expressed either as a
duration (using the units <code>s</code> (seconds), <code>m</code> (minutes), <code>h</code> (hours),
<code>d</code> (days), <code>w</code> (weeks) and <code>y</code> (years)) or as a number of milliseconds.</p>
<h3 id="purge-jobs"><a class="header" href="#purge-jobs">Purge jobs</a></h3>
<p>Purge jobs are the jobs that Synapse runs in the background to purge
expired events from the database. They are only run if support for
message retention policies is enabled in the server's configuration. If
no configuration for purge jobs is configured by the server admin,
Synapse will use a default configuration, which is described in the
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.36.0/docs/sample_config.yaml#L451-L518">sample configuration file</a>.</p>
<p>Some server admins might want a finer control on when events are removed
depending on an event's room's policy. This can be done by setting the
<code>purge_jobs</code> sub-section in the <code>retention</code> section of the configuration
file. An example of such configuration could be:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> purge_jobs:
- longest_max_lifetime: 3d
interval: 12h
- shortest_max_lifetime: 3d
longest_max_lifetime: 1w
interval: 1d
- shortest_max_lifetime: 1w
interval: 2d
</code></pre>
<p>In this example, we define three jobs:</p>
<ul>
<li>one that runs twice a day (every 12 hours) and purges events in rooms
which policy's <code>max_lifetime</code> is lower or equal to 3 days.</li>
<li>one that runs once a day and purges events in rooms which policy's
<code>max_lifetime</code> is between 3 days and a week.</li>
<li>one that runs once every 2 days and purges events in rooms which
policy's <code>max_lifetime</code> is greater than a week.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that this example is tailored to show different configurations and
features slightly more jobs than it's probably necessary (in practice, a
server admin would probably consider it better to replace the two last
jobs with one that runs once a day and handles rooms which which
policy's <code>max_lifetime</code> is greater than 3 days).</p>
<p>Keep in mind, when configuring these jobs, that a purge job can become
quite heavy on the server if it targets many rooms, therefore prefer
having jobs with a low interval that target a limited set of rooms. Also
make sure to include a job with no minimum and one with no maximum to
make sure your configuration handles every policy.</p>
<p>As previously mentioned in this documentation, while a purge job that
runs e.g. every day means that an expired event might stay in the
database for up to a day after its expiry, Synapse hides expired events
from clients as soon as they expire, so the event is not visible to
local users between its expiry date and the moment it gets purged from
the server's database.</p>
<h3 id="lifetime-limits"><a class="header" href="#lifetime-limits">Lifetime limits</a></h3>
<p>Server admins can set limits on the values of <code>max_lifetime</code> to use when
purging old events in a room. These limits can be defined as such in the
<code>retention</code> section of the configuration file:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> allowed_lifetime_min: 1d
allowed_lifetime_max: 1y
</code></pre>
<p>The limits are considered when running purge jobs. If necessary, the
effective value of <code>max_lifetime</code> will be brought between
<code>allowed_lifetime_min</code> and <code>allowed_lifetime_max</code> (inclusive).
This means that, if the value of <code>max_lifetime</code> defined in the room's state
is lower than <code>allowed_lifetime_min</code>, the value of <code>allowed_lifetime_min</code>
will be used instead. Likewise, if the value of <code>max_lifetime</code> is higher
than <code>allowed_lifetime_max</code>, the value of <code>allowed_lifetime_max</code> will be
used instead.</p>
<p>In the example above, we ensure Synapse never deletes events that are less
than one day old, and that it always deletes events that are over a year
old.</p>
<p>If a default policy is set, and its <code>max_lifetime</code> value is lower than
<code>allowed_lifetime_min</code> or higher than <code>allowed_lifetime_max</code>, the same
process applies.</p>
<p>Both parameters are optional; if one is omitted Synapse won't use it to
adjust the effective value of <code>max_lifetime</code>.</p>
<p>Like other settings in this section, these parameters can be expressed
either as a duration or as a number of milliseconds.</p>
<h2 id="room-configuration"><a class="header" href="#room-configuration">Room configuration</a></h2>
<p>To configure a room's message retention policy, a room's admin or
moderator needs to send a state event in that room with the type
<code>m.room.retention</code> and the following content:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"max_lifetime": ...
}
</code></pre>
<p>In this event's content, the <code>max_lifetime</code> parameter has the same
meaning as previously described, and needs to be expressed in
milliseconds. The event's content can also include a <code>min_lifetime</code>
parameter, which has the same meaning and limited support as previously
described.</p>
<p>Note that over every server in the room, only the ones with support for
message retention policies will actually remove expired events. This
support is currently not enabled by default in Synapse.</p>
<h2 id="note-on-reclaiming-disk-space"><a class="header" href="#note-on-reclaiming-disk-space">Note on reclaiming disk space</a></h2>
<p>While purge jobs actually delete data from the database, the disk space
used by the database might not decrease immediately on the database's
host. However, even though the database engine won't free up the disk
space, it will start writing new data into where the purged data was.</p>
<p>If you want to reclaim the freed disk space anyway and return it to the
operating system, the server admin needs to run <code>VACUUM FULL;</code> (or
<code>VACUUM;</code> for SQLite databases) on Synapse's database (see the related
<a href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-vacuum.html">PostgreSQL documentation</a>).</p>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="modules"><a class="header" href="#modules">Modules</a></h1>
<p>Synapse supports extending its functionality by configuring external modules.</p>
<h2 id="using-modules"><a class="header" href="#using-modules">Using modules</a></h2>
<p>To use a module on Synapse, add it to the <code>modules</code> section of the configuration file:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">modules:
- module: my_super_module.MySuperClass
config:
do_thing: true
- module: my_other_super_module.SomeClass
config: {}
</code></pre>
<p>Each module is defined by a path to a Python class as well as a configuration. This
information for a given module should be available in the module's own documentation.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: When using third-party modules, you effectively allow someone else to run
custom code on your Synapse homeserver. Server admins are encouraged to verify the
provenance of the modules they use on their homeserver and make sure the modules aren't
running malicious code on their instance.</p>
<p>Also note that we are currently in the process of migrating module interfaces to this
system. While some interfaces might be compatible with it, others still require
configuring modules in another part of Synapse's configuration file. Currently, only the
spam checker interface is compatible with this new system.</p>
<h2 id="writing-a-module"><a class="header" href="#writing-a-module">Writing a module</a></h2>
<p>A module is a Python class that uses Synapse's module API to interact with the
homeserver. It can register callbacks that Synapse will call on specific operations, as
well as web resources to attach to Synapse's web server.</p>
<p>When instantiated, a module is given its parsed configuration as well as an instance of
the <code>synapse.module_api.ModuleApi</code> class. The configuration is a dictionary, and is
either the output of the module's <code>parse_config</code> static method (see below), or the
configuration associated with the module in Synapse's configuration file.</p>
<p>See the documentation for the <code>ModuleApi</code> class
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/module_api/__init__.py">here</a>.</p>
<h3 id="handling-the-modules-configuration"><a class="header" href="#handling-the-modules-configuration">Handling the module's configuration</a></h3>
<p>A module can implement the following static method:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">@staticmethod
def parse_config(config: dict) -> dict
</code></pre>
<p>This method is given a dictionary resulting from parsing the YAML configuration for the
module. It may modify it (for example by parsing durations expressed as strings (e.g.
"5d") into milliseconds, etc.), and return the modified dictionary. It may also verify
that the configuration is correct, and raise an instance of
<code>synapse.module_api.errors.ConfigError</code> if not.</p>
<h3 id="registering-a-web-resource"><a class="header" href="#registering-a-web-resource">Registering a web resource</a></h3>
<p>Modules can register web resources onto Synapse's web server using the following module
API method:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">def ModuleApi.register_web_resource(path: str, resource: IResource) -> None
</code></pre>
<p>The path is the full absolute path to register the resource at. For example, if you
register a resource for the path <code>/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello</code>, Synapse
will serve it at <code>http(s)://[HS_URL]/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello</code>. Note
that Synapse does not allow registering resources for several sub-paths in the <code>/_matrix</code>
namespace (such as anything under <code>/_matrix/client</code> for example). It is strongly
recommended that modules register their web resources under the <code>/_synapse/client</code>
namespace.</p>
<p>The provided resource is a Python class that implements Twisted's <a href="https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.IResource.html">IResource</a>
interface (such as <a href="https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.Resource.html">Resource</a>).</p>
<p>Only one resource can be registered for a given path. If several modules attempt to
register a resource for the same path, the module that appears first in Synapse's
configuration file takes priority.</p>
<p>Modules <strong>must</strong> register their web resources in their <code>__init__</code> method.</p>
<h3 id="registering-a-callback"><a class="header" href="#registering-a-callback">Registering a callback</a></h3>
<p>Modules can use Synapse's module API to register callbacks. Callbacks are functions that
Synapse will call when performing specific actions. Callbacks must be asynchronous, and
are split in categories. A single module may implement callbacks from multiple categories,
and is under no obligation to implement all callbacks from the categories it registers
callbacks for.</p>
<p>Modules can register callbacks using one of the module API's <code>register_[...]_callbacks</code>
methods. The callback functions are passed to these methods as keyword arguments, with
the callback name as the argument name and the function as its value. This is demonstrated
in the example below. A <code>register_[...]_callbacks</code> method exists for each module type
documented in this section.</p>
<h4 id="spam-checker-callbacks"><a class="header" href="#spam-checker-callbacks">Spam checker callbacks</a></h4>
<p>Spam checker callbacks allow module developers to implement spam mitigation actions for
Synapse instances. Spam checker callbacks can be registered using the module API's
<code>register_spam_checker_callbacks</code> method.</p>
<p>The available spam checker callbacks are:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_event_for_spam(event: "synapse.events.EventBase") -> Union[bool, str]
</code></pre>
<p>Called when receiving an event from a client or via federation. The module can return
either a <code>bool</code> to indicate whether the event must be rejected because of spam, or a <code>str</code>
to indicate the event must be rejected because of spam and to give a rejection reason to
forward to clients.</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_invite(inviter: str, invitee: str, room_id: str) -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when processing an invitation. The module must return a <code>bool</code> indicating whether
the inviter can invite the invitee to the given room. Both inviter and invitee are
represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. <code>@alice:example.com</code>).</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_create_room(user: str) -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when processing a room creation request. The module must return a <code>bool</code> indicating
whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed to create a room.</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_create_room_alias(user: str, room_alias: "synapse.types.RoomAlias") -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when trying to associate an alias with an existing room. The module must return a
<code>bool</code> indicating whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed
to set the given alias.</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_publish_room(user: str, room_id: str) -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when trying to publish a room to the homeserver's public rooms directory. The
module must return a <code>bool</code> indicating whether the given user (represented by their
Matrix user ID) is allowed to publish the given room.</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_username_for_spam(user_profile: Dict[str, str]) -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when computing search results in the user directory. The module must return a
<code>bool</code> indicating whether the given user profile can appear in search results. The profile
is represented as a dictionary with the following keys:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>user_id</code>: The Matrix ID for this user.</li>
<li><code>display_name</code>: The user's display name.</li>
<li><code>avatar_url</code>: The <code>mxc://</code> URL to the user's avatar.</li>
</ul>
<p>The module is given a copy of the original dictionary, so modifying it from within the
module cannot modify a user's profile when included in user directory search results.</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_registration_for_spam(
email_threepid: Optional[dict],
username: Optional[str],
request_info: Collection[Tuple[str, str]],
auth_provider_id: Optional[str] = None,
) -> "synapse.spam_checker_api.RegistrationBehaviour"
</code></pre>
<p>Called when registering a new user. The module must return a <code>RegistrationBehaviour</code>
indicating whether the registration can go through or must be denied, or whether the user
may be allowed to register but will be shadow banned.</p>
<p>The arguments passed to this callback are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>email_threepid</code>: The email address used for registering, if any.</li>
<li><code>username</code>: The username the user would like to register. Can be <code>None</code>, meaning that
Synapse will generate one later.</li>
<li><code>request_info</code>: A collection of tuples, which first item is a user agent, and which
second item is an IP address. These user agents and IP addresses are the ones that were
used during the registration process.</li>
<li><code>auth_provider_id</code>: The identifier of the SSO authentication provider, if any.</li>
</ul>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_media_file_for_spam(
file_wrapper: "synapse.rest.media.v1.media_storage.ReadableFileWrapper",
file_info: "synapse.rest.media.v1._base.FileInfo",
) -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when storing a local or remote file. The module must return a boolean indicating
whether the given file can be stored in the homeserver's media store.</p>
<h4 id="account-validity-callbacks"><a class="header" href="#account-validity-callbacks">Account validity callbacks</a></h4>
<p>Account validity callbacks allow module developers to add extra steps to verify the
validity on an account, i.e. see if a user can be granted access to their account on the
Synapse instance. Account validity callbacks can be registered using the module API's
<code>register_account_validity_callbacks</code> method.</p>
<p>The available account validity callbacks are:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def is_user_expired(user: str) -> Optional[bool]
</code></pre>
<p>Called when processing any authenticated request (except for logout requests). The module
can return a <code>bool</code> to indicate whether the user has expired and should be locked out of
their account, or <code>None</code> if the module wasn't able to figure it out. The user is
represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. <code>@alice:example.com</code>).</p>
<p>If the module returns <code>True</code>, the current request will be denied with the error code
<code>ORG_MATRIX_EXPIRED_ACCOUNT</code> and the HTTP status code 403. Note that this doesn't
invalidate the user's access token.</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def on_user_registration(user: str) -> None
</code></pre>
<p>Called after successfully registering a user, in case the module needs to perform extra
operations to keep track of them. (e.g. add them to a database table). The user is
represented by their Matrix user ID.</p>
<h4 id="third-party-rules-callbacks"><a class="header" href="#third-party-rules-callbacks">Third party rules callbacks</a></h4>
<p>Third party rules callbacks allow module developers to add extra checks to verify the
validity of incoming events. Third party event rules callbacks can be registered using
the module API's <code>register_third_party_rules_callbacks</code> method.</p>
<p>The available third party rules callbacks are:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_event_allowed(
event: "synapse.events.EventBase",
state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
) -> Tuple[bool, Optional[dict]]
</code></pre>
<p><strong><span style="color:red">
This callback is very experimental and can and will break without notice. Module developers
are encouraged to implement <code>check_event_for_spam</code> from the spam checker category instead.
</span></strong></p>
<p>Called when processing any incoming event, with the event and a <code>StateMap</code>
representing the current state of the room the event is being sent into. A <code>StateMap</code> is
a dictionary that maps tuples containing an event type and a state key to the
corresponding state event. For example retrieving the room's <code>m.room.create</code> event from
the <code>state_events</code> argument would look like this: <code>state_events.get(("m.room.create", ""))</code>.
The module must return a boolean indicating whether the event can be allowed.</p>
<p>Note that this callback function processes incoming events coming via federation
traffic (on top of client traffic). This means denying an event might cause the local
copy of the room's history to diverge from that of remote servers. This may cause
federation issues in the room. It is strongly recommended to only deny events using this
callback function if the sender is a local user, or in a private federation in which all
servers are using the same module, with the same configuration.</p>
<p>If the boolean returned by the module is <code>True</code>, it may also tell Synapse to replace the
event with new data by returning the new event's data as a dictionary. In order to do
that, it is recommended the module calls <code>event.get_dict()</code> to get the current event as a
dictionary, and modify the returned dictionary accordingly.</p>
<p>Note that replacing the event only works for events sent by local users, not for events
received over federation.</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def on_create_room(
requester: "synapse.types.Requester",
request_content: dict,
is_requester_admin: bool,
) -> None
</code></pre>
<p>Called when processing a room creation request, with the <code>Requester</code> object for the user
performing the request, a dictionary representing the room creation request's JSON body
(see <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#post-matrix-client-r0-createroom">the spec</a>
for a list of possible parameters), and a boolean indicating whether the user performing
the request is a server admin.</p>
<p>Modules can modify the <code>request_content</code> (by e.g. adding events to its <code>initial_state</code>),
or deny the room's creation by raising a <code>module_api.errors.SynapseError</code>.</p>
<h3 id="porting-an-existing-module-that-uses-the-old-interface"><a class="header" href="#porting-an-existing-module-that-uses-the-old-interface">Porting an existing module that uses the old interface</a></h3>
<p>In order to port a module that uses Synapse's old module interface, its author needs to:</p>
<ul>
<li>ensure the module's callbacks are all asynchronous.</li>
<li>register their callbacks using one or more of the <code>register_[...]_callbacks</code> methods
from the <code>ModuleApi</code> class in the module's <code>__init__</code> method (see <a href="modules.html#registering-a-callback">this section</a>
for more info).</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, if the module is packaged with an additional web resource, the module
should register this resource in its <code>__init__</code> method using the <code>register_web_resource</code>
method from the <code>ModuleApi</code> class (see <a href="modules.html#registering-a-web-resource">this section</a> for
more info).</p>
<p>The module's author should also update any example in the module's configuration to only
use the new <code>modules</code> section in Synapse's configuration file (see <a href="modules.html#using-modules">this section</a>

<p>The spam checking behavior is implemented as a Python class, which must be
able to be imported by the running Synapse.</p>
<h2 id="python-spam-checker-class"><a class="header" href="#python-spam-checker-class">Python spam checker class</a></h2>
<p>The Python class is instantiated with two objects:</p>

<li>An instance of <code>synapse.module_api.ModuleApi</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>It then implements methods which return a boolean to alter behavior in Synapse.
All the methods must be defined.</p>
<p>There's a generic method for checking every event (<code>check_event_for_spam</code>), as

<p>Synapse supports configuring a module that can specify additional users
(local or remote) to should receive certain presence updates from local
users.</p>
<p>Note that routing presence via Application Service transactions is not
currently supported.</p>
<p>The presence routing module is implemented as a Python class, which will

</code></pre>
<p><strong>Required.</strong> An asynchronous method that is passed a single Matrix User ID. This
method is expected to return the users that the passed in user may be interested in the
presence of. Returned users may be local or remote. The presence routed as a result of
what this method returns is sent in addition to the updates already sent between users
that share a room together. Presence updates are deduplicated.</p>
<p>This method should return a python set of Matrix User IDs, or the object
<code>synapse.events.presence_router.PresenceRouter.ALL_USERS</code> to indicate that the passed
user should receive presence information for <em>all</em> known users.</p>
<p>For clarity, if the user <code>@alice:example.org</code> is passed to this method, and the Set
<code>{"@bob:example.com", "@charlie:somewhere.org"}</code> is returned, this signifies that Alice
should receive presence updates sent by Bob and Charlie, regardless of whether these
users share a room.</p>

<p>Both of these methods are effectively two different sides of the same coin. The logic
regarding which users should receive updates for other users should be the same
between them.</p>

or local users, and is used to either direct local presence to remote users, or to
wake up the sync streams of local users to collect remote presence.</p>
<p>In contrast, <code>get_interested_users</code> is used to determine the users that presence should
be fetched for when a local user is syncing. This presence is then retrieved, before
being fed through <code>get_users_for_states</code> once again, with only the syncing user's
routing information pulled from the resulting dictionary.</p>

<p>For small instances it recommended to run Synapse in the default monolith mode.
For larger instances where performance is a concern it can be helpful to split
out functionality into multiple separate python processes. These processes are
called 'workers', and are (eventually) intended to scale horizontally
independently.</p>
<p>Synapse's worker support is under active development and subject to change as
we attempt to rapidly scale ever larger Synapse instances. However we are
documenting it here to help admins needing a highly scalable Synapse instance
similar to the one running <code>matrix.org</code>.</p>
<p>All processes continue to share the same database instance, and as such,
workers only work with PostgreSQL-based Synapse deployments. SQLite should only
be used for demo purposes and any admin considering workers should already be
running PostgreSQL.</p>
<p>See also <a href="https://matrix.org/blog/2020/11/03/how-we-fixed-synapses-scalability">Matrix.org blog post</a>
for a higher level overview.</p>
<h2 id="main-processworker-communication"><a class="header" href="#main-processworker-communication">Main process/worker communication</a></h2>
<p>The processes communicate with each other via a Synapse-specific protocol called
'replication' (analogous to MySQL- or Postgres-style database replication) which
feeds streams of newly written data between processes so they can be kept in
sync with the database state.</p>
<p>When configured to do so, Synapse uses a
<a href="https://redis.io/topics/pubsub">Redis pub/sub channel</a> to send the replication
stream between all configured Synapse processes. Additionally, processes may
make HTTP requests to each other, primarily for operations which need to wait
for a reply ─ such as sending an event.</p>
<p>Redis support was added in v1.13.0 with it becoming the recommended method in
v1.18.0. It replaced the old direct TCP connections (which is deprecated as of
v1.18.0) to the main process. With Redis, rather than all the workers connecting
to the main process, all the workers and the main process connect to Redis,
which relays replication commands between processes. This can give a significant
cpu saving on the main process and will be a prerequisite for upcoming
performance improvements.</p>
<p>If Redis support is enabled Synapse will use it as a shared cache, as well as a
pub/sub mechanism.</p>
<p>See the <a href="workers.html#architectural-diagram">Architectural diagram</a> section at the end for
a visualisation of what this looks like.</p>
<h2 id="setting-up-workers"><a class="header" href="#setting-up-workers">Setting up workers</a></h2>
<p>A Redis server is required to manage the communication between the processes.
The Redis server should be installed following the normal procedure for your
distribution (e.g. <code>apt install redis-server</code> on Debian). It is safe to use an
existing Redis deployment if you have one.</p>
<p>Once installed, check that Redis is running and accessible from the host running
Synapse, for example by executing <code>echo PING | nc -q1 localhost 6379</code> and seeing
a response of <code>+PONG</code>.</p>
<p>The appropriate dependencies must also be installed for Synapse. If using a
virtualenv, these can be installed with:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">pip install "matrix-synapse[redis]"
</code></pre>
<p>Note that these dependencies are included when synapse is installed with <code>pip install matrix-synapse[all]</code>. They are also included in the debian packages from
<code>matrix.org</code> and in the docker images at
https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/.</p>
<p>To make effective use of the workers, you will need to configure an HTTP
reverse-proxy such as nginx or haproxy, which will direct incoming requests to
the correct worker, or to the main synapse instance. See
<a href="reverse_proxy.html">the reverse proxy documentation</a> for information on setting up a reverse
proxy.</p>
<p>When using workers, each worker process has its own configuration file which
contains settings specific to that worker, such as the HTTP listener that it
provides (if any), logging configuration, etc.</p>
<p>Normally, the worker processes are configured to read from a shared
configuration file as well as the worker-specific configuration files. This
makes it easier to keep common configuration settings synchronised across all
the processes.</p>
<p>The main process is somewhat special in this respect: it does not normally
need its own configuration file and can take all of its configuration from the
shared configuration file.</p>
<h3 id="shared-configuration"><a class="header" href="#shared-configuration">Shared configuration</a></h3>
<p>Normally, only a couple of changes are needed to make an existing configuration
file suitable for use with workers. First, you need to enable an "HTTP replication
listener" for the main process; and secondly, you need to enable redis-based
replication. Optionally, a shared secret can be used to authenticate HTTP
traffic between workers. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"># extend the existing `listeners` section. This defines the ports that the
# main process will listen on.
listeners:
# The HTTP replication port
- port: 9093
bind_address: '127.0.0.1'
type: http
resources:
- names: [replication]
# Add a random shared secret to authenticate traffic.
worker_replication_secret: ""
redis:
enabled: true
</code></pre>
<p>See the sample config for the full documentation of each option.</p>
<p>Under <strong>no circumstances</strong> should the replication listener be exposed to the
public internet; it has no authentication and is unencrypted.</p>
<h3 id="worker-configuration"><a class="header" href="#worker-configuration">Worker configuration</a></h3>
<p>In the config file for each worker, you must specify the type of worker
application (<code>worker_app</code>), and you should specify a unique name for the worker
(<code>worker_name</code>). The currently available worker applications are listed below.
You must also specify the HTTP replication endpoint that it should talk to on
the main synapse process. <code>worker_replication_host</code> should specify the host of
the main synapse and <code>worker_replication_http_port</code> should point to the HTTP
replication port. If the worker will handle HTTP requests then the
<code>worker_listeners</code> option should be set with a <code>http</code> listener, in the same way
as the <code>listeners</code> option in the shared config.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">worker_app: synapse.app.generic_worker
worker_name: worker1
# The replication listener on the main synapse process.
worker_replication_host: 127.0.0.1
worker_replication_http_port: 9093
worker_listeners:
- type: http
port: 8083
resources:
- names:
- client
- federation
worker_log_config: /home/matrix/synapse/config/worker1_log_config.yaml
</code></pre>
<p>...is a full configuration for a generic worker instance, which will expose a
plain HTTP endpoint on port 8083 separately serving various endpoints, e.g.
<code>/sync</code>, which are listed below.</p>
<p>Obviously you should configure your reverse-proxy to route the relevant
endpoints to the worker (<code>localhost:8083</code> in the above example).</p>
<h3 id="running-synapse-with-workers"><a class="header" href="#running-synapse-with-workers">Running Synapse with workers</a></h3>
<p>Finally, you need to start your worker processes. This can be done with either
<code>synctl</code> or your distribution's preferred service manager such as <code>systemd</code>. We
recommend the use of <code>systemd</code> where available: for information on setting up
<code>systemd</code> to start synapse workers, see
<a href="systemd-with-workers">Systemd with Workers</a>. To use <code>synctl</code>, see
<a href="synctl_workers.html">Using synctl with Workers</a>.</p>

</code></pre>
<p>Additionally, the following REST endpoints can be handled for GET requests:</p>
<pre><code>^/_matrix/federation/v1/groups/
</code></pre>
<p>Pagination requests can also be handled, but all requests for a given
room must be routed to the same instance. Additionally, care must be taken to
ensure that the purge history admin API is not used while pagination requests
for the room are in flight:</p>
<pre><code>^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|unstable)/rooms/.*/messages$
</code></pre>
<p>Additionally, the following endpoints should be included if Synapse is configured
to use SSO (you only need to include the ones for whichever SSO provider you're
using):</p>
<pre><code># for all SSO providers
^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|unstable)/login/sso/redirect

</code></pre>
<p>Ensure that all SSO logins go to a single process.
For multiple workers not handling the SSO endpoints properly, see
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7530">#7530</a> and
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9427">#9427</a>.</p>
<p>Note that a HTTP listener with <code>client</code> and <code>federation</code> resources must be
configured in the <code>worker_listeners</code> option in the worker config.</p>
<h4 id="load-balancing"><a class="header" href="#load-balancing">Load balancing</a></h4>
<p>It is possible to run multiple instances of this worker app, with incoming requests
being load-balanced between them by the reverse-proxy. However, different endpoints
have different characteristics and so admins
may wish to run multiple groups of workers handling different endpoints so that
load balancing can be done in different ways.</p>
<p>For <code>/sync</code> and <code>/initialSync</code> requests it will be more efficient if all
requests from a particular user are routed to a single instance. Extracting a
user ID from the access token or <code>Authorization</code> header is currently left as an
exercise for the reader. Admins may additionally wish to separate out <code>/sync</code>
requests that have a <code>since</code> query parameter from those that don't (and
<code>/initialSync</code>), as requests that don't are known as "initial sync" that happens
when a user logs in on a new device and can be <em>very</em> resource intensive, so
isolating these requests will stop them from interfering with other users ongoing
syncs.</p>
<p>Federation and client requests can be balanced via simple round robin.</p>
<p>The inbound federation transaction request <code>^/_matrix/federation/v1/send/</code>
should be balanced by source IP so that transactions from the same remote server
go to the same process.</p>
<p>Registration/login requests can be handled separately purely to help ensure that
unexpected load doesn't affect new logins and sign ups.</p>
<p>Finally, event sending requests can be balanced by the room ID in the URI (or
the full URI, or even just round robin), the room ID is the path component after
<code>/rooms/</code>. If there is a large bridge connected that is sending or may send lots
of events, then a dedicated set of workers can be provisioned to limit the
effects of bursts of events from that bridge on events sent by normal users.</p>
<h4 id="stream-writers"><a class="header" href="#stream-writers">Stream writers</a></h4>
<p>Additionally, there is <em>experimental</em> support for moving writing of specific
streams (such as events) off of the main process to a particular worker. (This
is only supported with Redis-based replication.)</p>
<p>Currently supported streams are <code>events</code> and <code>typing</code>.</p>
<p>To enable this, the worker must have a HTTP replication listener configured,
have a <code>worker_name</code> and be listed in the <code>instance_map</code> config. For example to
move event persistence off to a dedicated worker, the shared configuration would
include:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">instance_map:
event_persister1:
host: localhost
port: 8034
stream_writers:
events: event_persister1
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>events</code> stream also experimentally supports having multiple writers, where
work is sharded between them by room ID. Note that you <em>must</em> restart all worker
instances when adding or removing event persisters. An example <code>stream_writers</code>
configuration with multiple writers:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">stream_writers:
events:
- event_persister1
- event_persister2
</code></pre>
<h4 id="background-tasks"><a class="header" href="#background-tasks">Background tasks</a></h4>
<p>There is also <em>experimental</em> support for moving background tasks to a separate
worker. Background tasks are run periodically or started via replication. Exactly
which tasks are configured to run depends on your Synapse configuration (e.g. if
stats is enabled).</p>
<p>To enable this, the worker must have a <code>worker_name</code> and can be configured to run
background tasks. For example, to move background tasks to a dedicated worker,
the shared configuration would include:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">run_background_tasks_on: background_worker
</code></pre>
<p>You might also wish to investigate the <code>update_user_directory</code> and
<code>media_instance_running_background_jobs</code> settings.</p>
<h3 id="synapseapppusher"><a class="header" href="#synapseapppusher"><code>synapse.app.pusher</code></a></h3>
<p>Handles sending push notifications to sygnal and email. Doesn't handle any
REST endpoints itself, but you should set <code>start_pushers: False</code> in the
shared configuration file to stop the main synapse sending push notifications.</p>
<p>To run multiple instances at once the <code>pusher_instances</code> option should list all
pusher instances by their worker name, e.g.:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">pusher_instances:
- pusher_worker1
- pusher_worker2
</code></pre>
<h3 id="synapseappappservice"><a class="header" href="#synapseappappservice"><code>synapse.app.appservice</code></a></h3>
<p>Handles sending output traffic to Application Services. Doesn't handle any
REST endpoints itself, but you should set <code>notify_appservices: False</code> in the
shared configuration file to stop the main synapse sending appservice notifications.</p>
<p>Note this worker cannot be load-balanced: only one instance should be active.</p>
<h3 id="synapseappfederation_sender"><a class="header" href="#synapseappfederation_sender"><code>synapse.app.federation_sender</code></a></h3>
<p>Handles sending federation traffic to other servers. Doesn't handle any
REST endpoints itself, but you should set <code>send_federation: False</code> in the
shared configuration file to stop the main synapse sending this traffic.</p>
<p>If running multiple federation senders then you must list each
instance in the <code>federation_sender_instances</code> option by their <code>worker_name</code>.
All instances must be stopped and started when adding or removing instances.
For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">federation_sender_instances:
- federation_sender1
- federation_sender2
</code></pre>
<h3 id="synapseappmedia_repository"><a class="header" href="#synapseappmedia_repository"><code>synapse.app.media_repository</code></a></h3>
<p>Handles the media repository. It can handle all endpoints starting with:</p>
<pre><code>/_matrix/media/
</code></pre>
<p>... and the following regular expressions matching media-specific administration APIs:</p>
<pre><code>^/_synapse/admin/v1/purge_media_cache$
^/_synapse/admin/v1/room/.*/media.*$
^/_synapse/admin/v1/user/.*/media.*$
^/_synapse/admin/v1/media/.*$
^/_synapse/admin/v1/quarantine_media/.*$
</code></pre>
<p>You should also set <code>enable_media_repo: False</code> in the shared configuration
file to stop the main synapse running background jobs related to managing the
media repository.</p>
<p>In the <code>media_repository</code> worker configuration file, configure the http listener to
expose the <code>media</code> resource. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> worker_listeners:
- type: http
port: 8085
resources:
- names:
- media
</code></pre>
<p>Note that if running multiple media repositories they must be on the same server
and you must configure a single instance to run the background tasks, e.g.:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> media_instance_running_background_jobs: "media-repository-1"
</code></pre>
<p>Note that if a reverse proxy is used , then <code>/_matrix/media/</code> must be routed for both inbound client and federation requests (if they are handled separately).</p>
<h3 id="synapseappuser_dir"><a class="header" href="#synapseappuser_dir"><code>synapse.app.user_dir</code></a></h3>
<p>Handles searches in the user directory. It can handle REST endpoints matching
the following regular expressions:</p>
<pre><code>^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|unstable)/user_directory/search$
</code></pre>
<p>When using this worker you must also set <code>update_user_directory: False</code> in the
shared configuration file to stop the main synapse running background
jobs related to updating the user directory.</p>
<h3 id="synapseappfrontend_proxy"><a class="header" href="#synapseappfrontend_proxy"><code>synapse.app.frontend_proxy</code></a></h3>
<p>Proxies some frequently-requested client endpoints to add caching and remove
load from the main synapse. It can handle REST endpoints matching the following
regular expressions:</p>
<pre><code>^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|unstable)/keys/upload
</code></pre>
<p>If <code>use_presence</code> is False in the homeserver config, it can also handle REST
endpoints matching the following regular expressions:</p>
<pre><code>^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|unstable)/presence/[^/]+/status
</code></pre>
<p>This "stub" presence handler will pass through <code>GET</code> request but make the
<code>PUT</code> effectively a no-op.</p>
<p>It will proxy any requests it cannot handle to the main synapse instance. It
must therefore be configured with the location of the main instance, via
the <code>worker_main_http_uri</code> setting in the <code>frontend_proxy</code> worker configuration
file. For example:</p>
<pre><code>worker_main_http_uri: http://127.0.0.1:8008
</code></pre>
<h3 id="historical-apps"><a class="header" href="#historical-apps">Historical apps</a></h3>
<p><em>Note:</em> Historically there used to be more apps, however they have been
amalgamated into a single <code>synapse.app.generic_worker</code> app. The remaining apps
are ones that do specific processing unrelated to requests, e.g. the <code>pusher</code>
that handles sending out push notifications for new events. The intention is for
all these to be folded into the <code>generic_worker</code> app and to use config to define
which processes handle the various proccessing such as push notifications.</p>
<h2 id="migration-from-old-config"><a class="header" href="#migration-from-old-config">Migration from old config</a></h2>
<p>There are two main independent changes that have been made: introducing Redis
support and merging apps into <code>synapse.app.generic_worker</code>. Both these changes
are backwards compatible and so no changes to the config are required, however
server admins are encouraged to plan to migrate to Redis as the old style direct
TCP replication config is deprecated.</p>
<p>To migrate to Redis add the <code>redis</code> config as above, and optionally remove the
TCP <code>replication</code> listener from master and <code>worker_replication_port</code> from worker
config.</p>
<p>To migrate apps to use <code>synapse.app.generic_worker</code> simply update the
<code>worker_app</code> option in the worker configs, and where worker are started (e.g.
in systemd service files, but not required for synctl).</p>

<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h3 id="using-synctl-with-workers"><a class="header" href="#using-synctl-with-workers">Using synctl with workers</a></h3>
<p>If you want to use <code>synctl</code> to manage your synapse processes, you will need to
create an an additional configuration file for the main synapse process. That
configuration should look like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver
</code></pre>
<p>Additionally, each worker app must be configured with the name of a "pid file",
to which it will write its process ID when it starts. For example, for a
synchrotron, you might write:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">worker_pid_file: /home/matrix/synapse/worker1.pid
</code></pre>
<p>Finally, to actually run your worker-based synapse, you must pass synctl the <code>-a</code>
commandline option to tell it to operate on all the worker configurations found
in the given directory, e.g.:</p>
<pre><code>synctl -a $CONFIG/workers start
</code></pre>
<p>Currently one should always restart all workers when restarting or upgrading
synapse, unless you explicitly know it's safe not to. For instance, restarting
synapse without restarting all the synchrotrons may result in broken typing
notifications.</p>
<p>To manipulate a specific worker, you pass the -w option to synctl:</p>
<pre><code>synctl -w $CONFIG/workers/worker1.yaml restart
</code></pre>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="setting-up-synapse-with-workers-and-systemd"><a class="header" href="#setting-up-synapse-with-workers-and-systemd">Setting up Synapse with Workers and Systemd</a></h1>
<p>This is a setup for managing synapse with systemd, including support for
managing workers. It provides a <code>matrix-synapse</code> service for the master, as
well as a <code>matrix-synapse-worker@</code> service template for any workers you
require. Additionally, to group the required services, it sets up a
<code>matrix-synapse.target</code>.</p>
<p>See the folder <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/systemd-with-workers/system/">system</a>
for the systemd unit files.</p>
<p>The folder <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/systemd-with-workers/workers/">workers</a>
contains an example configuration for the <code>federation_reader</code> worker.</p>
<h2 id="synapse-configuration-files"><a class="header" href="#synapse-configuration-files">Synapse configuration files</a></h2>
<p>See <a href="systemd-with-workers/../workers.html">the worker documentation</a> for information on how to set up the
configuration files and reverse-proxy correctly.
Below is a sample <code>federation_reader</code> worker configuration file.</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">worker_app: synapse.app.federation_reader
worker_name: federation_reader1
worker_replication_host: 127.0.0.1
worker_replication_http_port: 9093
worker_listeners:
- type: http
port: 8011
resources:
- names: [federation]
worker_log_config: /etc/matrix-synapse/federation-reader-log.yaml
</code></pre>
<p>Systemd manages daemonization itself, so ensure that none of the configuration
files set either <code>daemonize</code> or <code>worker_daemonize</code>.</p>
<p>The config files of all workers are expected to be located in
<code>/etc/matrix-synapse/workers</code>. If you want to use a different location, edit
the provided <code>*.service</code> files accordingly.</p>
<p>There is no need for a separate configuration file for the master process.</p>
<h2 id="set-up"><a class="header" href="#set-up">Set up</a></h2>
<ol>
<li>Adjust synapse configuration files as above.</li>
<li>Copy the <code>*.service</code> and <code>*.target</code> files in <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/systemd-with-workers/system/">system</a>
to <code>/etc/systemd/system</code>.</li>
<li>Run <code>systemctl daemon-reload</code> to tell systemd to load the new unit files.</li>
<li>Run <code>systemctl enable matrix-synapse.service</code>. This will configure the
synapse master process to be started as part of the <code>matrix-synapse.target</code>
target.</li>
<li>For each worker process to be enabled, run <code>systemctl enable matrix-synapse-worker@<worker_name>.service</code>. For each <code><worker_name></code>, there
should be a corresponding configuration file.
<code>/etc/matrix-synapse/workers/<worker_name>.yaml</code>.</li>
<li>Start all the synapse processes with <code>systemctl start matrix-synapse.target</code>.</li>
<li>Tell systemd to start synapse on boot with <code>systemctl enable matrix-synapse.target</code>.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="usage"><a class="header" href="#usage">Usage</a></h2>
<p>Once the services are correctly set up, you can use the following commands
to manage your synapse installation:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh"># Restart Synapse master and all workers
systemctl restart matrix-synapse.target
# Stop Synapse and all workers
systemctl stop matrix-synapse.target
# Restart the master alone
systemctl start matrix-synapse.service
# Restart a specific worker (eg. federation_reader); the master is
# unaffected by this.
systemctl restart matrix-synapse-worker@federation_reader.service
# Add a new worker (assuming all configs are set up already)
systemctl enable matrix-synapse-worker@federation_writer.service
systemctl restart matrix-synapse.target
</code></pre>
<h2 id="hardening"><a class="header" href="#hardening">Hardening</a></h2>
<p><strong>Optional:</strong> If further hardening is desired, the file
<code>override-hardened.conf</code> may be copied from
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/contrib/systemd/">contrib/systemd/override-hardened.conf</a>
in this repository to the location
<code>/etc/systemd/system/matrix-synapse.service.d/override-hardened.conf</code> (the
directory may have to be created). It enables certain sandboxing features in
systemd to further secure the synapse service. You may read the comments to
understand what the override file is doing. The same file will need to be copied to
<code>/etc/systemd/system/matrix-synapse-worker@.service.d/override-hardened-worker.conf</code>
(this directory may also have to be created) in order to apply the same
hardening options to any worker processes.</p>
<p>Once these files have been copied to their appropriate locations, simply reload
systemd's manager config files and restart all Synapse services to apply the hardening options. They will automatically
be applied at every restart as long as the override files are present at the
specified locations.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">systemctl daemon-reload
# Restart services
systemctl restart matrix-synapse.target
</code></pre>
<p>In order to see their effect, you may run <code>systemd-analyze security matrix-synapse.service</code> before and after applying the hardening options to see
the changes being applied at a glance.</p>

<h2 id="authenticate-as-a-server-admin"><a class="header" href="#authenticate-as-a-server-admin">Authenticate as a server admin</a></h2>
<p>Many of the API calls in the admin api will require an <code>access_token</code> for a
server admin. (Note that a server admin is distinct from a room admin.)</p>
<p>A user can be marked as a server admin by updating the database directly, e.g.:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">UPDATE users SET admin = 1 WHERE name = '@foo:bar.com';
</code></pre>
<p>A new server admin user can also be created using the <code>register_new_matrix_user</code>
command. This is a script that is located in the <code>scripts/</code> directory, or possibly
already on your <code>$PATH</code> depending on how Synapse was installed.</p>
<p>Finding your user's <code>access_token</code> is client-dependent, but will usually be shown in the client's settings.</p>
<h2 id="making-an-admin-api-request"><a class="header" href="#making-an-admin-api-request">Making an Admin API request</a></h2>
<p>Once you have your <code>access_token</code>, you will need to authenticate each request to an Admin API endpoint by
providing the token as either a query parameter or a request header. To add it as a request header in cURL:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" <the_rest_of_your_API_request>
</code></pre>

which otherwise defaults to now + validity period.</p>
<p><code>enable_renewal_emails</code> is also an optional parameter and enables/disables
sending renewal emails to the user. Defaults to true.</p>
<p>The API returns with the new expiration date for this account, as a timestamp in

being deleted.</p>
<p>The API is:</p>
<pre><code>POST /_synapse/admin/v1/delete_group/<group_id>

<h1 id="purge-remote-media-api"><a class="header" href="#purge-remote-media-api">Purge Remote Media API</a></h1>
<p>The purge remote media API allows server admins to purge old cached remote media.</p>
<p>The API is:</p>
<pre><code>POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_media_cache?before_ts=<unix_timestamp_in_ms>
{}
</code></pre>
<p>URL Parameters</p>
<ul>

</code></pre>
<p>The following fields are returned in the JSON response body:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>deleted</code>: integer - The number of media items successfully deleted</li>
</ul>
<p>To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an <code>access_token</code> for a
server admin: see <a href="admin_api/../usage/administration/admin_api">Admin API</a>.</p>
<p>If the user re-requests purged remote media, synapse will re-request the media
from the originating server.</p>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="purge-history-api"><a class="header" href="#purge-history-api">Purge History API</a></h1>
<p>The purge history API allows server admins to purge historic events from their
database, reclaiming disk space.</p>
<p>Depending on the amount of history being purged a call to the API may take
several minutes or longer. During this period users will not be able to
paginate further back in the room from the point being purged from.</p>
<p>Note that Synapse requires at least one message in each room, so it will never
delete the last message in a room.</p>
<p>The API is:</p>
<pre><code>POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_history/<room_id>[/<event_id>]
</code></pre>
<p>To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an <code>access_token</code> for a
server admin: <a href="admin_api/../usage/administration/admin_api">Admin API</a></p>
<p>By default, events sent by local users are not deleted, as they may represent
the only copies of this content in existence. (Events sent by remote users are
deleted.)</p>
<p>Room state data (such as joins, leaves, topic) is always preserved.</p>
<p>To delete local message events as well, set <code>delete_local_events</code> in the body:</p>
<pre><code>{
"delete_local_events": true
}
</code></pre>
<p>The caller must specify the point in the room to purge up to. This can be
specified by including an event_id in the URI, or by setting a
<code>purge_up_to_event_id</code> or <code>purge_up_to_ts</code> in the request body. If an event
id is given, that event (and others at the same graph depth) will be retained.
If <code>purge_up_to_ts</code> is given, it should be a timestamp since the unix epoch,
in milliseconds.</p>
<p>The API starts the purge running, and returns immediately with a JSON body with
a purge id:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"purge_id": "<opaque id>"
}
</code></pre>
<h2 id="purge-status-query"><a class="header" href="#purge-status-query">Purge status query</a></h2>
<p>It is possible to poll for updates on recent purges with a second API;</p>
<pre><code>GET /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_history_status/<purge_id>
</code></pre>
<p>Again, you will need to authenticate by providing an <code>access_token</code> for a
server admin.</p>
<p>This API returns a JSON body like the following:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"status": "active"
}
</code></pre>
<p>The status will be one of <code>active</code>, <code>complete</code>, or <code>failed</code>.</p>
<h2 id="reclaim-disk-space-postgres"><a class="header" href="#reclaim-disk-space-postgres">Reclaim disk space (Postgres)</a></h2>

<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="deprecated-purge-room-api"><a class="header" href="#deprecated-purge-room-api">Deprecated: Purge room API</a></h1>
<p><strong>The old Purge room API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
See the new <a href="admin_api/rooms.html#delete-room-api">Delete Room API</a> for more details.</strong></p>
<p>This API will remove all trace of a room from your database.</p>
<p>All local users must have left the room before it can be removed.</p>
<p>The API is:</p>
<pre><code>POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_room
{
"room_id": "!room:id"
}
</code></pre>
<p>You must authenticate using the access token of an admin user.</p>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="shared-secret-registration"><a class="header" href="#shared-secret-registration">Shared-Secret Registration</a></h1>
<p>This API allows for the creation of users in an administrative and
non-interactive way. This is generally used for bootstrapping a Synapse
instance with administrator accounts.</p>
<p>To authenticate yourself to the server, you will need both the shared secret
(<code>registration_shared_secret</code> in the homeserver configuration), and a
one-time nonce. If the registration shared secret is not configured, this API
is not enabled.</p>
<p>To fetch the nonce, you need to request one from the API:</p>
<pre><code>> GET /_synapse/admin/v1/register
< {"nonce": "thisisanonce"}
</code></pre>
<p>Once you have the nonce, you can make a <code>POST</code> to the same URL with a JSON
body containing the nonce, username, password, whether they are an admin
(optional, False by default), and a HMAC digest of the content. Also you can
set the displayname (optional, <code>username</code> by default).</p>
<p>As an example:</p>
<pre><code>> POST /_synapse/admin/v1/register
> {
"nonce": "thisisanonce",
"username": "pepper_roni",
"displayname": "Pepper Roni",
"password": "pizza",
"admin": true,
"mac": "mac_digest_here"
}
< {
"access_token": "token_here",
"user_id": "@pepper_roni:localhost",
"home_server": "test",
"device_id": "device_id_here"
}
</code></pre>
<p>The MAC is the hex digest output of the HMAC-SHA1 algorithm, with the key being
the shared secret and the content being the nonce, user, password, either the
string "admin" or "notadmin", and optionally the user_type
each separated by NULs. For an example of generation in Python:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">import hmac, hashlib
def generate_mac(nonce, user, password, admin=False, user_type=None):
mac = hmac.new(
key=shared_secret,
digestmod=hashlib.sha1,
)
mac.update(nonce.encode('utf8'))
mac.update(b"\x00")
mac.update(user.encode('utf8'))
mac.update(b"\x00")
mac.update(password.encode('utf8'))
mac.update(b"\x00")
mac.update(b"admin" if admin else b"notadmin")
if user_type:
mac.update(b"\x00")
mac.update(user_type.encode('utf8'))
return mac.hexdigest()

<h1 id="delete-room-api"><a class="header" href="#delete-room-api">Delete Room API</a></h1>
<p>The Delete Room admin API allows server admins to remove rooms from server
and block these rooms.</p>
<p>Shuts down a room. Moves all local users and room aliases automatically to a
new room if <code>new_room_user_id</code> is set. Otherwise local users only
leave the room without any information.</p>
<p>The new room will be created with the user specified by the <code>new_room_user_id</code> parameter
as room administrator and will contain a message explaining what happened. Users invited
to the new room will have power level <code>-10</code> by default, and thus be unable to speak.</p>
<p>If <code>block</code> is <code>True</code> it prevents new joins to the old room.</p>
<p>This API will remove all trace of the old room from your database after removing
all local users. If <code>purge</code> is <code>true</code> (the default), all traces of the old room will
be removed from your database after removing all local users. If you do not want
this to happen, set <code>purge</code> to <code>false</code>.
Depending on the amount of history being purged a call to the API may take
several minutes or longer.</p>
<p>The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.</p>
<p>The API is:</p>
<pre><code>DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>
</code></pre>
<p>with a body of:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"new_room_user_id": "@someuser:example.com",
"room_name": "Content Violation Notification",
"message": "Bad Room has been shutdown due to content violations on this server. Please review our Terms of Service.",
"block": true,
"purge": true
}
</code></pre>
<p>To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an <code>access_token</code> for a
server admin: see <a href="admin_api/../usage/administration/admin_api">Admin API</a>.</p>
<p>A response body like the following is returned:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{

<p><strong>Parameters</strong></p>
<p>The following parameters should be set in the URL:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>room_id</code> - The ID of the room.</li>
</ul>
<p>The following JSON body parameters are available:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>new_room_user_id</code> - Optional. If set, a new room will be created with this user ID
as the creator and admin, and all users in the old room will be moved into that
room. If not set, no new room will be created and the users will just be removed
from the old room. The user ID must be on the local server, but does not necessarily
have to belong to a registered user.</li>
<li><code>room_name</code> - Optional. A string representing the name of the room that new users will be
invited to. Defaults to <code>Content Violation Notification</code></li>
<li><code>message</code> - Optional. A string containing the first message that will be sent as
<code>new_room_user_id</code> in the new room. Ideally this will clearly convey why the
original room was shut down. Defaults to <code>Sharing illegal content on this server is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked.</code></li>
<li><code>block</code> - Optional. If set to <code>true</code>, this room will be added to a blocking list, preventing
future attempts to join the room. Defaults to <code>false</code>.</li>
<li><code>purge</code> - Optional. If set to <code>true</code>, it will remove all traces of the room from your database.
Defaults to <code>true</code>.</li>
<li><code>force_purge</code> - Optional, and ignored unless <code>purge</code> is <code>true</code>. If set to <code>true</code>, it
will force a purge to go ahead even if there are local users still in the room. Do not
use this unless a regular <code>purge</code> operation fails, as it could leave those users'
clients in a confused state.</li>
</ul>
<p>The JSON body must not be empty. The body must be at least <code>{}</code>.</p>
<p><strong>Response</strong></p>
<p>The following fields are returned in the JSON response body:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>kicked_users</code> - An array of users (<code>user_id</code>) that were kicked.</li>
<li><code>failed_to_kick_users</code> - An array of users (<code>user_id</code>) that that were not kicked.</li>

<p><em>Note</em>: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room shutdowns being performed at the database level,
the structure can and does change without notice.</p>
<p>First, it's important to understand that a room shutdown is very destructive. Undoing a shutdown is not as simple as pretending it
never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
to recover at all:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.</li>
<li>If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.</li>
<li>The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different server.</li>
</ul>
<p>With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:</p>
<ol>
<li>For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.</li>
<li>In the database, run <code>DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';</code>
<ul>
<li>For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: <code>BEGIN; DELETE ...;</code>, verify you got 1 result, then <code>COMMIT;</code>.</li>
<li>The room ID is the same one supplied to the shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Restart Synapse.</li>
</ol>
<p>You will have to manually handle, if you so choose, the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.</li>
<li>Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).</li>
<li>Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.</li>

<p><strong>Parameters</strong></p>
<p>The following parameters should be set in the URL:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>user_id</code> - Is optional and filters to only return users with user IDs
that contain this value. This parameter is ignored when using the <code>name</code> parameter.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>name</code> - Is optional and filters to only return users with user ID localparts
<strong>or</strong> displaynames that contain this value.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>guests</code> - string representing a bool - Is optional and if <code>false</code> will <strong>exclude</strong> guest users.
Defaults to <code>true</code> to include guest users.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>deactivated</code> - string representing a bool - Is optional and if <code>true</code> will <strong>include</strong> deactivated users.
Defaults to <code>false</code> to exclude deactivated users.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>limit</code> - string representing a positive integer - Is optional but is used for pagination,
denoting the maximum number of items to return in this call. Defaults to <code>100</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>from</code> - string representing a positive integer - Is optional but used for pagination,
denoting the offset in the returned results. This should be treated as an opaque value and
not explicitly set to anything other than the return value of <code>next_token</code> from a previous call.
Defaults to <code>0</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>order_by</code> - The method by which to sort the returned list of users.
If the ordered field has duplicates, the second order is always by ascending <code>name</code>,
which guarantees a stable ordering. Valid values are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>name</code> - Users are ordered alphabetically by <code>name</code>. This is the default.</li>
<li><code>is_guest</code> - Users are ordered by <code>is_guest</code> status.</li>
<li><code>admin</code> - Users are ordered by <code>admin</code> status.</li>

</ul>
<p>Caution. The database only has indexes on the columns <code>name</code> and <code>creation_ts</code>.
This means that if a different sort order is used (<code>is_guest</code>, <code>admin</code>,
<code>user_type</code>, <code>deactivated</code>, <code>shadow_banned</code>, <code>avatar_url</code> or <code>displayname</code>),
this can cause a large load on the database, especially for large environments.</p>

<h2 id="shadow-banning-users"><a class="header" href="#shadow-banning-users">Shadow-banning users</a></h2>
<p>Shadow-banning is a useful tool for moderating malicious or egregiously abusive users.
A shadow-banned users receives successful responses to their client-server API requests,
but the events are not propagated into rooms. This can be an effective tool as it
(hopefully) takes longer for the user to realise they are being moderated before
pivoting to another account.</p>
<p>Shadow-banning a user should be used as a tool of last resort and may lead to confusing
or broken behaviour for the client. A shadow-banned user will not receive any
notification and it is generally more appropriate to ban or kick abusive users.
A shadow-banned user will be unable to contact anyone on the server.</p>
<p>The API is:</p>
<pre><code>POST /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>/shadow_ban

<p>This API returns the running Synapse version and the Python version
on which Synapse is being run. This is useful when a Synapse instance
is behind a proxy that does not forward the 'Server' header (which also
contains Synapse version information).</p>
<p>The api is:</p>
<pre><code>GET /_synapse/admin/v1/server_version
</code></pre>
<p>It returns a JSON body like the following:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
"server_version": "0.99.2rc1 (b=develop, abcdef123)",
"python_version": "3.6.8"
}
</code></pre>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="using-the-synapse-manhole"><a class="header" href="#using-the-synapse-manhole">Using the synapse manhole</a></h1>
<p>The "manhole" allows server administrators to access a Python shell on a running
Synapse installation. This is a very powerful mechanism for administration and
debugging.</p>
<p><strong><em>Security Warning</em></strong></p>
<p>Note that this will give administrative access to synapse to <strong>all users</strong> with
shell access to the server. It should therefore <strong>not</strong> be enabled in
environments where untrusted users have shell access.</p>
<hr />
<p>To enable it, first uncomment the <code>manhole</code> listener configuration in
<code>homeserver.yaml</code>. The configuration is slightly different if you're using docker.</p>
<h4 id="docker-config"><a class="header" href="#docker-config">Docker config</a></h4>
<p>If you are using Docker, set <code>bind_addresses</code> to <code>['0.0.0.0']</code> as shown:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">listeners:
- port: 9000
bind_addresses: ['0.0.0.0']
type: manhole
</code></pre>
<p>When using <code>docker run</code> to start the server, you will then need to change the command to the following to include the
<code>manhole</code> port forwarding. The <code>-p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000</code> below is important: it
ensures that access to the <code>manhole</code> is only possible for local users.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">docker run -d --name synapse \
--mount type=volume,src=synapse-data,dst=/data \
-p 8008:8008 \
-p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000 \
matrixdotorg/synapse:latest
</code></pre>
<h4 id="native-config"><a class="header" href="#native-config">Native config</a></h4>
<p>If you are not using docker, set <code>bind_addresses</code> to <code>['::1', '127.0.0.1']</code> as shown.
The <code>bind_addresses</code> in the example below is important: it ensures that access to the
<code>manhole</code> is only possible for local users).</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">listeners:
- port: 9000
bind_addresses: ['::1', '127.0.0.1']
type: manhole
</code></pre>
<h4 id="accessing-synapse-manhole"><a class="header" href="#accessing-synapse-manhole">Accessing synapse manhole</a></h4>
<p>Then restart synapse, and point an ssh client at port 9000 on localhost, using
the username <code>matrix</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">ssh -p9000 matrix@localhost
</code></pre>
<p>The password is <code>rabbithole</code>.</p>
<p>This gives a Python REPL in which <code>hs</code> gives access to the
<code>synapse.server.HomeServer</code> object - which in turn gives access to many other
parts of the process.</p>
<p>Note that any call which returns a coroutine will need to be wrapped in <code>ensureDeferred</code>.</p>
<p>As a simple example, retrieving an event from the database:</p>
<pre><code class="language-pycon">>>> from twisted.internet import defer

<ol>
<li>
<p>Install Prometheus:</p>
<p>Follow instructions at
<a href="http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/">http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Enable Synapse metrics:</p>
<p>There are two methods of enabling metrics in Synapse.</p>
<p>The first serves the metrics as a part of the usual web server and
can be enabled by adding the "metrics" resource to the existing
listener as such:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> resources:
- names:
- client
- metrics
</code></pre>
<p>This provides a simple way of adding metrics to your Synapse
installation, and serves under <code>/_synapse/metrics</code>. If you do not
wish your metrics be publicly exposed, you will need to either
filter it out at your load balancer, or use the second method.</p>
<p>The second method runs the metrics server on a different port, in a
different thread to Synapse. This can make it more resilient to
heavy load meaning metrics cannot be retrieved, and can be exposed
to just internal networks easier. The served metrics are available
over HTTP only, and will be available at <code>/_synapse/metrics</code>.</p>
<p>Add a new listener to homeserver.yaml:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> listeners:
- type: metrics
port: 9000
bind_addresses:
- '0.0.0.0'
</code></pre>
<p>For both options, you will need to ensure that <code>enable_metrics</code> is
set to <code>True</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restart Synapse.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Add a Prometheus target for Synapse.</p>
<p>It needs to set the <code>metrics_path</code> to a non-default value (under
<code>scrape_configs</code>):</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> - job_name: "synapse"
scrape_interval: 15s
metrics_path: "/_synapse/metrics"
static_configs:
- targets: ["my.server.here:port"]
</code></pre>
<p>where <code>my.server.here</code> is the IP address of Synapse, and <code>port</code> is
the listener port configured with the <code>metrics</code> resource.</p>
<p>If your prometheus is older than 1.5.2, you will need to replace
<code>static_configs</code> in the above with <code>target_groups</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restart Prometheus.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Consider using the <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/contrib/grafana/">grafana dashboard</a>
and required <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/contrib/prometheus/">recording rules</a> </p>
</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="monitoring-workers"><a class="header" href="#monitoring-workers">Monitoring workers</a></h2>
<p>To monitor a Synapse installation using <a href="workers.html">workers</a>,
every worker needs to be monitored independently, in addition to
the main homeserver process. This is because workers don't send
their metrics to the main homeserver process, but expose them
directly (if they are configured to do so).</p>
<p>To allow collecting metrics from a worker, you need to add a
<code>metrics</code> listener to its configuration, by adding the following
under <code>worker_listeners</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> - type: metrics
bind_address: ''
port: 9101
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>bind_address</code> and <code>port</code> parameters should be set so that
the resulting listener can be reached by prometheus, and they
don't clash with an existing worker.
With this example, the worker's metrics would then be available
on <code>http://127.0.0.1:9101</code>.</p>
<p>Example Prometheus target for Synapse with workers:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml"> - job_name: "synapse"
scrape_interval: 15s
metrics_path: "/_synapse/metrics"
static_configs:
- targets: ["my.server.here:port"]
labels:
instance: "my.server"
job: "master"
index: 1
- targets: ["my.workerserver.here:port"]
labels:
instance: "my.server"
job: "generic_worker"
index: 1
- targets: ["my.workerserver.here:port"]
labels:
instance: "my.server"
job: "generic_worker"
index: 2
- targets: ["my.workerserver.here:port"]
labels:
instance: "my.server"
job: "media_repository"
index: 1
</code></pre>
<p>Labels (<code>instance</code>, <code>job</code>, <code>index</code>) can be defined as anything.
The labels are used to group graphs in grafana.</p>

<p>The duplicated metrics deprecated in Synapse 0.27.0 have been removed.</p>
<p>All time duration-based metrics have been changed to be seconds. This

<p>Synapse 0.27.0 begins the process of rationalising the duplicate
<code>*:count</code> metrics reported for the resource tracking for code blocks and
HTTP requests.</p>
<p>At the same time, the corresponding <code>*:total</code> metrics are being renamed,
as the <code>:total</code> suffix no longer makes sense in the absence of a
corresponding <code>:count</code> metric.</p>
<p>To enable a graceful migration path, this release just adds new names
for the metrics being renamed. A future release will remove the old
ones.</p>
<p>The following table shows the new metrics, and the old metrics which
they are replacing.</p>

<p>MMMM / NNNN can be greater than IIII if there are multiple slow database queries

the same data, but only the first request will report time/transactions in
<code>KKKK</code>/<code>LLLL</code>/<code>MMMM</code>/<code>NNNN</code>/<code>OOOO</code> - the others will be awaiting the first query to return a
response and will simultaneously return with the first request, but with very
small processing times.</p>

<h1 id="1-who-can-contribute-to-synapse"><a class="header" href="#1-who-can-contribute-to-synapse">1. Who can contribute to Synapse?</a></h1>
<p>Everyone is welcome to contribute code to <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org">matrix.org
projects</a>, provided that they are willing to
license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
<a href="development/LICENSE">LICENSE</a>).</p>
<h1 id="2-what-do-i-need"><a class="header" href="#2-what-do-i-need">2. What do I need?</a></h1>
<p>The code of Synapse is written in Python 3. To do pretty much anything, you'll need <a href="https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download">a recent version of Python 3</a>.</p>
<p>The source code of Synapse is hosted on GitHub. You will also need <a href="https://github.com/git-guides/install-git">a recent version of git</a>.</p>
<p>For some tests, you will need <a href="https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/">a recent version of Docker</a>.</p>
<h1 id="3-get-the-source"><a class="header" href="#3-get-the-source">3. Get the source.</a></h1>
<p>The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
project on GitHub, and then <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/">create a pull request</a> to ask us to pull your
changes into our repo.</p>
<p>Please base your changes on the <code>develop</code> branch.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME/synapse.git
git checkout develop
</code></pre>
<p>If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you
can find many good git tutorials on the web.</p>

<p>Once you have installed Python 3 and added the source, please open a terminal and
setup a <em>virtualenv</em>, as follows:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">cd path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository
python3 -m venv ./env
source ./env/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[all,lint,mypy,test]"
pip install tox

<p>Synapse's code style is documented <a href="development/docs/code_style.html">here</a>. Please follow
it, including the conventions for the <a href="development/docs/code_style.html#configuration-file-format">sample configuration
file</a>.</p>
<p>There is a growing amount of documentation located in the <a href="development/docs">docs</a>
directory. This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
Synapse. <a href="development/docs/dev">docs/dev</a> exists primarily to house documentation for
Synapse developers. <a href="development/docs/admin_api">docs/admin_api</a> houses documentation
regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
service developers.</p>
<p>If you add new files added to either of these folders, please use <a href="https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/">GitHub-Flavoured
Markdown</a>.</p>
<p>Some documentation also exists in <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki">Synapse's GitHub

<p>While you're developing and before submitting a patch, you'll
want to test your code.</p>
<h2 id="run-the-linters"><a class="header" href="#run-the-linters">Run the linters.</a></h2>
<p>The linters look at your code and do two things:</p>
<ul>
<li>ensure that your code follows the coding style adopted by the project;</li>
<li>catch a number of errors in your code.</li>
</ul>
<p>They're pretty fast, don't hesitate!</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">source ./env/bin/activate
./scripts-dev/lint.sh
</code></pre>
<p>Note that this script <em>will modify your files</em> to fix styling errors.
Make sure that you have saved all your files.</p>
<p>If you wish to restrict the linters to only the files changed since the last commit
(much faster!), you can instead run:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">source ./env/bin/activate
./scripts-dev/lint.sh -d
</code></pre>
<p>Or if you know exactly which files you wish to lint, you can instead run:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">source ./env/bin/activate
./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
</code></pre>
<h2 id="run-the-unit-tests"><a class="header" href="#run-the-unit-tests">Run the unit tests.</a></h2>
<p>The unit tests run parts of Synapse, including your changes, to see if anything
was broken. They are slower than the linters but will typically catch more errors.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">source ./env/bin/activate
trial tests
</code></pre>
<p>If you wish to only run <em>some</em> unit tests, you may specify
another module instead of <code>tests</code> - or a test class or a method:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">source ./env/bin/activate
trial tests.rest.admin.test_room tests.handlers.test_admin.ExfiltrateData.test_invite
</code></pre>
<p>If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs (the default log level is <code>ERROR</code>):</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">less _trial_temp/test.log
</code></pre>
<p>To increase the log level for the tests, set <code>SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG trial tests
</code></pre>
<h2 id="run-the-integration-tests"><a class="header" href="#run-the-integration-tests">Run the integration tests.</a></h2>
<p>The integration tests are a more comprehensive suite of tests. They
run a full version of Synapse, including your changes, to check if
anything was broken. They are slower than the unit tests but will
typically catch more errors.</p>
<p>The following command will let you run the integration test with the most common
configuration:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository\:/src:ro -v /path/to/where/you/want/logs\:/logs matrixdotorg/sytest-synapse:py37
</code></pre>
<p>This configuration should generally cover your needs. For more details about other configurations, see <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md">documentation in the SyTest repo</a>.</p>
<h1 id="9-submit-your-patch"><a class="header" href="#9-submit-your-patch">9. Submit your patch.</a></h1>
<p>Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.</p>
<p>To prepare a Pull Request, please:</p>
<ol>
<li>verify that <a href="development/contributing_guide.html#test-test-test">all the tests pass</a>, including the coding style;</li>
<li><a href="development/contributing_guide.html#sign-off">sign off</a> your contribution;</li>
<li><code>git push</code> your commit to your fork of Synapse;</li>
<li>on GitHub, <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request">create the Pull Request</a>;</li>
<li>add a <a href="development/contributing_guide.html#changelog">changelog entry</a> and push it to your Pull Request;</li>
<li>for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization <code>matrix-org</code>, on GitHub, please request a review from <code>matrix.org / Synapse Core</code>.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="changelog"><a class="header" href="#changelog">Changelog</a></h2>
<p>All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
entry. These are managed by <a href="https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier">Towncrier</a>.</p>
<p>To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the <code>changelog.d</code> directory named
in the format of <code>PRnumber.type</code>. The type can be one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>feature</code></li>
<li><code>bugfix</code></li>
<li><code>docker</code> (for updates to the Docker image)</li>
<li><code>doc</code> (for updates to the documentation)</li>
<li><code>removal</code> (also used for deprecations)</li>
<li><code>misc</code> (for internal-only changes)</li>
</ul>
<p>This file will become part of our <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md">changelog</a> at the next
release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
consistency.</p>
<p>Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!</p>
<p>For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
<code>changelog.d/1234.bugfix</code>, and contain content like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
via the <code>/federation/florb</code> endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
then the content for each <code>changelog.d</code> file should be the same. Towncrier will
merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
release.</p>
<h3 id="how-do-i-know-what-to-call-the-changelog-file-before-i-create-the-pr"><a class="header" href="#how-do-i-know-what-to-call-the-changelog-file-before-i-create-the-pr">How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?</a></h3>
<p>Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
<code>1234.bugfix</code> or <code>5678.bugfix</code> until you create the PR, which leads to a
chicken-and-egg problem.</p>
<p>There are two options for solving this:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and <em>then</em>
add the changelog file to your branch (see <a href="development/contributing_guide.html#updating-your-pull-request">Updating your pull
request</a>), or:</p>
</li>
<li>

<h3 id="debian-changelog"><a class="header" href="#debian-changelog">Debian changelog</a></h3>
<p>Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in <code>debian</code>) are an
exception to the rule that all changes require a <code>changelog.d</code> file.</p>
<p>In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
next release. For this, run the following command:</p>
<pre><code>dch
</code></pre>
<p>This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
corrected for the release.)</p>
<p>If your change affects both the debian packaging <em>and</em> files outside the debian
directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment <em>and</em> an entry in the
debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
separate pull requests.)</p>

given our obsession with open communication. If we're going to successfully
matrix together all the fragmented communication technologies out there we are
reliant on contributions and collaboration from the community to do so. So
please get involved - and we hope you have as much fun hacking on Matrix as we
do!</p>

<h2 id="formatting-tools"><a class="header" href="#formatting-tools">Formatting tools</a></h2>
<p>The Synapse codebase uses a number of code formatting tools in order to
quickly and automatically check for formatting (and sometimes logical)
errors in code.</p>
<p>The necessary tools are detailed below.</p>
<p>First install them with:</p>
<pre><code>pip install -e ".[lint,mypy]"
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>black</strong></p>
<p>The Synapse codebase uses <a href="https://pypi.org/project/black/">black</a>
as an opinionated code formatter, ensuring all comitted code is
properly formatted.</p>
<p>Have <code>black</code> auto-format your code (it shouldn't change any
functionality) with:</p>
<pre><code>black . --exclude="\.tox|build|env"
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>flake8</strong></p>
<p><code>flake8</code> is a code checking tool. We require code to pass <code>flake8</code>
before being merged into the codebase.</p>
<p>Check all application and test code with:</p>
<pre><code>flake8 synapse tests
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>isort</strong></p>
<p><code>isort</code> ensures imports are nicely formatted, and can suggest and
auto-fix issues such as double-importing.</p>
<p>Auto-fix imports with:</p>
<pre><code>isort -rc synapse tests
</code></pre>
<p><code>-rc</code> means to recursively search the given directories.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>It's worth noting that modern IDEs and text editors can run these tools
automatically on save. It may be worth looking into whether this
functionality is supported in your editor for a more convenient
development workflow. It is not, however, recommended to run <code>flake8</code> on
save as it takes a while and is very resource intensive.</p>
<h2 id="general-rules"><a class="header" href="#general-rules">General rules</a></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Naming</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Use camel case for class and type names</li>
<li>Use underscores for functions and variables.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Docstrings</strong>: should follow the <a href="https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#38-comments-and-docstrings">google code
style</a>.
See the
<a href="http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_google.html">examples</a>
in the sphinx documentation.</li>
<li><strong>Imports</strong>:
<ul>
<li>
<p>Imports should be sorted by <code>isort</code> as described above.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Prefer to import classes and functions rather than packages or
modules.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>from synapse.types import UserID
...
user_id = UserID(local, server)
</code></pre>
<p>is preferred over:</p>
<pre><code>from synapse import types
...
user_id = types.UserID(local, server)
</code></pre>
<p>(or any other variant).</p>
<p>This goes against the advice in the Google style guide, but it
means that errors in the name are caught early (at import time).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Avoid wildcard imports (<code>from synapse.types import *</code>) and
relative imports (<code>from .types import UserID</code>).</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="configuration-file-format"><a class="header" href="#configuration-file-format">Configuration file format</a></h2>
<p>The <a href="./sample_config.yaml">sample configuration file</a> acts as a
reference to Synapse's configuration options for server administrators.
Remember that many readers will be unfamiliar with YAML and server
administration in general, so that it is important that the file be as
easy to understand as possible, which includes following a consistent
format.</p>
<p>Some guidelines follow:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Sections should be separated with a heading consisting of a single
line prefixed and suffixed with <code>##</code>. There should be <strong>two</strong> blank
lines before the section header, and <strong>one</strong> after.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Each option should be listed in the file with the following format:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>A comment describing the setting. Each line of this comment
should be prefixed with a hash (<code>#</code>) and a space.</p>
<p>The comment should describe the default behaviour (ie, what
happens if the setting is omitted), as well as what the effect
will be if the setting is changed.</p>
<p>Often, the comment end with something like "uncomment the
following to <do action>".</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A line consisting of only <code>#</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A commented-out example setting, prefixed with only <code>#</code>.</p>
<p>For boolean (on/off) options, convention is that this example
should be the <em>opposite</em> to the default (so the comment will end
with "Uncomment the following to enable [or disable]
<feature>." For other options, the example should give some
non-default value which is likely to be useful to the reader.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>There should be a blank line between each option.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Where several settings are grouped into a single dict, <em>avoid</em> the
convention where the whole block is commented out, resulting in
comment lines starting <code># #</code>, as this is hard to read and confusing
to edit. Instead, leave the top-level config option uncommented, and
follow the conventions above for sub-options. Ensure that your code
correctly handles the top-level option being set to <code>None</code> (as it
will be if no sub-options are enabled).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Lines should be wrapped at 80 characters.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use two-space indents.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>true</code> and <code>false</code> are spelt thus (as opposed to <code>True</code>, etc.)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use single quotes (<code>'</code>) rather than double-quotes (<code>"</code>) or backticks
(<code>`</code>) to refer to configuration options.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>## Frobnication ##
# The frobnicator will ensure that all requests are fully frobnicated.
# To enable it, uncomment the following.
#
#frobnicator_enabled: true
# By default, the frobnicator will frobnicate with the default frobber.
# The following will make it use an alternative frobber.
#
#frobincator_frobber: special_frobber
# Settings for the frobber
#
frobber:
# frobbing speed. Defaults to 1.
#
#speed: 10
# frobbing distance. Defaults to 1000.
#
#distance: 100
</code></pre>
<p>Note that the sample configuration is generated from the synapse code
and is maintained by a script, <code>scripts-dev/generate_sample_config</code>.
Making sure that the output from this script matches the desired format
is left as an exercise for the reader!</p>

<h2 id="on-keeping-the-commit-history-clean"><a class="header" href="#on-keeping-the-commit-history-clean">On keeping the commit history clean</a></h2>
<p>In an ideal world, our git commit history would be a linear progression of
commits each of which contains a single change building on what came
before. Here, by way of an arbitrary example, is the top of <code>git log --graph b2dba0607</code>:</p>
<img src="development/img/git/clean.png" alt="clean git graph" width="500px">
<p>Note how the commit comment explains clearly what is changing and why. Also
note the <em>absence</em> of merge commits, as well as the absence of commits called
things like (to pick a few culprits):
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/84691da6c">“pep8”</a>, <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/474810d9d">“fix broken
test”</a>,
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/c9d72e457">“oops”</a>,
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/836358823">“typo”</a>, or <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/707374d5d">“Who's
the president?”</a>.</p>
<p>There are a number of reasons why keeping a clean commit history is a good
thing:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>From time to time, after a change lands, it turns out to be necessary to
revert it, or to backport it to a release branch. Those operations are
<em>much</em> easier when the change is contained in a single commit.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Similarly, it's much easier to answer questions like “is the fix for
<code>/publicRooms</code> on the release branch?” if that change consists of a single
commit.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Likewise: “what has changed on this branch in the last week?” is much
clearer without merges and “pep8” commits everywhere.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Sometimes we need to figure out where a bug got introduced, or some
behaviour changed. One way of doing that is with <code>git bisect</code>: pick an
arbitrary commit between the known good point and the known bad point, and
see how the code behaves. However, that strategy fails if the commit you
chose is the middle of someone's epic branch in which they broke the world
before putting it back together again.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>One counterargument is that it is sometimes useful to see how a PR evolved as
it went through review cycles. This is true, but that information is always
available via the GitHub UI (or via the little-known <a href="https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/checking-out-pull-requests-locally">refs/pull
namespace</a>).</p>
<p>Of course, in reality, things are more complicated than that. We have release
branches as well as <code>develop</code> and <code>master</code>, and we deliberately merge changes
between them. Bugs often slip through and have to be fixed later. That's all
fine: this not a cast-iron rule which must be obeyed, but an ideal to aim
towards.</p>
<h2 id="merges-squashes-rebases-wtf"><a class="header" href="#merges-squashes-rebases-wtf">Merges, squashes, rebases: wtf?</a></h2>
<p>Ok, so that's what we'd like to achieve. How do we achieve it?</p>
<p>The TL;DR is: when you come to merge a pull request, you <em>probably</em> want to
“squash and merge”:</p>
<p><img src="development/img/git/squash.png" alt="squash and merge" />.</p>
<p>(This applies whether you are merging your own PR, or that of another
contributor.)</p>
<p>“Squash and merge”<sup id="a1"><a href="development/git.html#f1">1</a></sup> takes all of the changes in the
PR, and bundles them into a single commit. GitHub gives you the opportunity to
edit the commit message before you confirm, and normally you should do so,
because the default will be useless (again: <code>* woops typo</code> is not a useful
thing to keep in the historical record).</p>
<p>The main problem with this approach comes when you have a series of pull
requests which build on top of one another: as soon as you squash-merge the
first PR, you'll end up with a stack of conflicts to resolve in all of the
others. In general, it's best to avoid this situation in the first place by
trying not to have multiple related PRs in flight at the same time. Still,
sometimes that's not possible and doing a regular merge is the lesser evil.</p>
<p>Another occasion in which a regular merge makes more sense is a PR where you've
deliberately created a series of commits each of which makes sense in its own
right. For example: <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6837">a PR which gradually propagates a refactoring operation
through the codebase</a>, or <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5987">a
PR which is the culmination of several other
PRs</a>. In this case the ability
to figure out when a particular change/bug was introduced could be very useful.</p>
<p>Ultimately: <strong>this is not a hard-and-fast-rule</strong>. If in doubt, ask yourself “do
each of the commits I am about to merge make sense in their own right”, but
remember that we're just doing our best to balance “keeping the commit history
clean” with other factors.</p>
<h2 id="git-branching-model"><a class="header" href="#git-branching-model">Git branching model</a></h2>
<p>A <a href="https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/">lot</a>
<a href="http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html">of</a>
<a href="https://www.endoflineblog.com/gitflow-considered-harmful">words</a> have been
written in the past about git branching models (no really, <a href="https://martinfowler.com/articles/branching-patterns.html">a
lot</a>). I tend to
think the whole thing is overblown. Fundamentally, it's not that
complicated. Here's how we do it.</p>
<p>Let's start with a picture:</p>
<p><img src="development/img/git/branches.jpg" alt="branching model" /></p>
<p>It looks complicated, but it's really not. There's one basic rule: <em>anyone</em> is
free to merge from <em>any</em> more-stable branch to <em>any</em> less-stable branch at
<em>any</em> time<sup id="a2"><a href="development/git.html#f2">2</a></sup>. (The principle behind this is that if a
change is good enough for the more-stable branch, then it's also good enough go
put in a less-stable branch.)</p>
<p>Meanwhile, merging (or squashing, as per the above) from a less-stable to a
more-stable branch is a deliberate action in which you want to publish a change
or a set of changes to (some subset of) the world: for example, this happens
when a PR is landed, or as part of our release process.</p>
<p>So, what counts as a more- or less-stable branch? A little reflection will show
that our active branches are ordered thus, from more-stable to less-stable:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>master</code> (tracks our last release).</li>
<li><code>release-vX.Y</code> (the branch where we prepare the next release)<sup
id="a3"><a href="development/git.html#f3">3</a></sup>.</li>
<li>PR branches which are targeting the release.</li>
<li><code>develop</code> (our "mainline" branch containing our bleeding-edge).</li>
<li>regular PR branches.</li>
</ul>
<p>The corollary is: if you have a bugfix that needs to land in both
<code>release-vX.Y</code> <em>and</em> <code>develop</code>, then you should base your PR on
<code>release-vX.Y</code>, get it merged there, and then merge from <code>release-vX.Y</code> to
<code>develop</code>. (If a fix lands in <code>develop</code> and we later need it in a
release-branch, we can of course cherry-pick it, but landing it in the release
branch first helps reduce the chance of annoying conflicts.)</p>
<hr />
<p><b id="f1">[1]</b>: “Squash and merge” is GitHub's term for this

<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="opentracing"><a class="header" href="#opentracing">OpenTracing</a></h1>
<h2 id="background"><a class="header" href="#background">Background</a></h2>
<p>OpenTracing is a semi-standard being adopted by a number of distributed
tracing platforms. It is a common api for facilitating vendor-agnostic
tracing instrumentation. That is, we can use the OpenTracing api and
select one of a number of tracer implementations to do the heavy lifting
in the background. Our current selected implementation is Jaeger.</p>
<p>OpenTracing is a tool which gives an insight into the causal
relationship of work done in and between servers. The servers each track
events and report them to a centralised server - in Synapse's case:
Jaeger. The basic unit used to represent events is the span. The span
roughly represents a single piece of work that was done and the time at
which it occurred. A span can have child spans, meaning that the work of
the child had to be completed for the parent span to complete, or it can
have follow-on spans which represent work that is undertaken as a result
of the parent but is not depended on by the parent to in order to
finish.</p>
<p>Since this is undertaken in a distributed environment a request to
another server, such as an RPC or a simple GET, can be considered a span
(a unit or work) for the local server. This causal link is what
OpenTracing aims to capture and visualise. In order to do this metadata
about the local server's span, i.e the 'span context', needs to be
included with the request to the remote.</p>
<p>It is up to the remote server to decide what it does with the spans it
creates. This is called the sampling policy and it can be configured
through Jaeger's settings.</p>
<p>For OpenTracing concepts see
<a href="https://opentracing.io/docs/overview/what-is-tracing/">https://opentracing.io/docs/overview/what-is-tracing/</a>.</p>
<p>For more information about Jaeger's implementation see

<h2 id="setting-up-opentracing"><a class="header" href="#setting-up-opentracing">Setting up OpenTracing</a></h2>
<p>To receive OpenTracing spans, start up a Jaeger server. This can be done
using docker like so:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">docker run -d --name jaeger \
-p 6831:6831/udp \
-p 6832:6832/udp \
-p 5778:5778 \
-p 16686:16686 \
-p 14268:14268 \
jaegertracing/all-in-one:1
</code></pre>
<p>Latest documentation is probably at
https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/latest/getting-started.</p>
<h2 id="enable-opentracing-in-synapse"><a class="header" href="#enable-opentracing-in-synapse">Enable OpenTracing in Synapse</a></h2>
<p>OpenTracing is not enabled by default. It must be enabled in the
homeserver config by uncommenting the config options under <code>opentracing</code>
as shown in the <a href="./sample_config.yaml">sample config</a>. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">opentracing:
enabled: true
homeserver_whitelist:
- "mytrustedhomeserver.org"
- "*.myotherhomeservers.com"
</code></pre>
<h2 id="homeserver-whitelisting"><a class="header" href="#homeserver-whitelisting">Homeserver whitelisting</a></h2>
<p>The homeserver whitelist is configured using regular expressions. A list
of regular expressions can be given and their union will be compared
when propagating any spans contexts to another homeserver.</p>
<p>Though it's mostly safe to send and receive span contexts to and from
untrusted users since span contexts are usually opaque ids it can lead
to two problems, namely:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the span context is marked as sampled by the sending homeserver
the receiver will sample it. Therefore two homeservers with wildly
different sampling policies could incur higher sampling counts than
intended.</li>
<li>Sending servers can attach arbitrary data to spans, known as
'baggage'. For safety this has been disabled in Synapse but that
doesn't prevent another server sending you baggage which will be
logged to OpenTracing's logs.</li>
</ul>

<p>Synapse's database schema is stored in the <code>synapse.storage.schema</code> module.</p>
<h2 id="logical-databases"><a class="header" href="#logical-databases">Logical databases</a></h2>
<p>Synapse supports splitting its datastore across multiple physical databases (which can
be useful for large installations), and the schema files are therefore split according
to the logical database they apply to.</p>
<p>At the time of writing, the following "logical" databases are supported:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>state</code> - used to store Matrix room state (more specifically, <code>state_groups</code>,
their relationships and contents).</li>
<li><code>main</code> - stores everything else.</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, the <code>common</code> directory contains schema files for tables which must be
present on <em>all</em> physical databases.</p>
<h2 id="synapse-schema-versions"><a class="header" href="#synapse-schema-versions">Synapse schema versions</a></h2>
<p>Synapse manages its database schema via "schema versions". These are mainly used to
help avoid confusion if the Synapse codebase is rolled back after the database is
updated. They work as follows:</p>

<p>The Synapse codebase defines a constant <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code>
which represents the expectations made about the database by that version. For
example, as of Synapse v1.36, this is <code>59</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The database stores a "compatibility version" in
<code>schema_compat_version.compat_version</code> which defines the <code>SCHEMA_VERSION</code> of the
oldest version of Synapse which will work with the database. On startup, if
<code>compat_version</code> is found to be newer than <code>SCHEMA_VERSION</code>, Synapse will refuse to
start.</p>
<p>Synapse automatically updates this field from
<code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Whenever a backwards-incompatible change is made to the database format (normally
via a <code>delta</code> file), <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code> is also updated
so that administrators can not accidentally roll back to a too-old version of Synapse.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Generally, the goal is to maintain compatibility with at least one or two previous
releases of Synapse, so any substantial change tends to require multiple releases and a
bit of forward-planning to get right.</p>
<p>As a worked example: we want to remove the <code>room_stats_historical</code> table. Here is how it
might pan out.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Replace any code that <em>reads</em> from <code>room_stats_historical</code> with alternative
implementations, but keep writing to it in case of rollback to an earlier version.
Also, increase <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code>. In this
instance, there is no existing code which reads from <code>room_stats_historical</code>, so
our starting point is:</p>
<p>v1.36.0: <code>SCHEMA_VERSION=59</code>, <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION=59</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Next (say in Synapse v1.37.0): remove the code that <em>writes</em> to
<code>room_stats_historical</code>, but don’t yet remove the table in case of rollback to
v1.36.0. Again, we increase <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code>, but
because we have not broken compatibility with v1.36, we do not yet update
<code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code>. We now have:</p>
<p>v1.37.0: <code>SCHEMA_VERSION=60</code>, <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION=59</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Later (say in Synapse v1.38.0): we can remove the table altogether. This will
break compatibility with v1.36.0, so we must update <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code> accordingly.
There is no need to update <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code>, since there is no
change to the Synapse codebase here. So we end up with:</p>
<p>v1.38.0: <code>SCHEMA_VERSION=60</code>, <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION=60</code>.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>If in doubt about whether to update <code>SCHEMA_VERSION</code> or not, it is generally best to
lean towards doing so.</p>
<h2 id="full-schema-dumps"><a class="header" href="#full-schema-dumps">Full schema dumps</a></h2>
<p>In the <code>full_schemas</code> directories, only the most recently-numbered snapshot is used
(<code>54</code> at the time of writing). Older snapshots (eg, <code>16</code>) are present for historical
reference only.</p>
<h3 id="building-full-schema-dumps"><a class="header" href="#building-full-schema-dumps">Building full schema dumps</a></h3>
<p>If you want to recreate these schemas, they need to be made from a database that
has had all background updates run.</p>
<p>To do so, use <code>scripts-dev/make_full_schema.sh</code>. This will produce new
<code>full.sql.postgres</code> and <code>full.sql.sqlite</code> files.</p>
<p>Ensure postgres is installed, then run:</p>
<pre><code>./scripts-dev/make_full_schema.sh -p postgres_username -o output_dir/
</code></pre>
<p>NB at the time of writing, this script predates the split into separate <code>state</code>/<code>main</code>
databases so will require updates to handle that correctly.</p>
<h2 id="boolean-columns"><a class="header" href="#boolean-columns">Boolean columns</a></h2>
<p>Boolean columns require special treatment, since SQLite treats booleans the
same as integers.</p>
<p>There are three separate aspects to this:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Any new boolean column must be added to the <code>BOOLEAN_COLUMNS</code> list in
<code>scripts/synapse_port_db</code>. This tells the port script to cast the integer
value from SQLite to a boolean before writing the value to the postgres
database.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Before SQLite 3.23, <code>TRUE</code> and <code>FALSE</code> were not recognised as constants by
SQLite, and the <code>IS [NOT] TRUE</code>/<code>IS [NOT] FALSE</code> operators were not
supported. This makes it necessary to avoid using <code>TRUE</code> and <code>FALSE</code>
constants in SQL commands.</p>
<p>For example, to insert a <code>TRUE</code> value into the database, write:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">txn.execute("INSERT INTO tbl(col) VALUES (?)", (True, ))
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Default values for new boolean columns present a particular
difficulty. Generally it is best to create separate schema files for
Postgres and SQLite. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql"># in 00delta.sql.postgres:
ALTER TABLE tbl ADD COLUMN col BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="language-sql"># in 00delta.sql.sqlite:
ALTER TABLE tbl ADD COLUMN col BOOLEAN DEFAULT 0;
</code></pre>
<p>Note that there is a particularly insidious failure mode here: the Postgres
flavour will be accepted by SQLite 3.22, but will give a column whose
default value is the <strong>string</strong> <code>"FALSE"</code> - which, when cast back to a boolean
in Python, evaluates to <code>True</code>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="log-contexts"><a class="header" href="#log-contexts">Log Contexts</a></h1>
<p>To help track the processing of individual requests, synapse uses a
'<code>log context</code>' to track which request it is handling at any given
moment. This is done via a thread-local variable; a <code>logging.Filter</code> is
then used to fish the information back out of the thread-local variable
and add it to each log record.</p>
<p>Logcontexts are also used for CPU and database accounting, so that we
can track which requests were responsible for high CPU use or database
activity.</p>
<p>The <code>synapse.logging.context</code> module provides a facilities for managing
the current log context (as well as providing the <code>LoggingContextFilter</code>
class).</p>
<p>Asynchronous functions make the whole thing complicated, so this document describes
how it all works, and how to write code which follows the rules.</p>
<p>In this document, "awaitable" refers to any object which can be <code>await</code>ed. In the context of
Synapse, that normally means either a coroutine or a Twisted
<a href="https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.internet.defer.Deferred.html"><code>Deferred</code></a>.</p>
<h2 id="logcontexts-without-asynchronous-code"><a class="header" href="#logcontexts-without-asynchronous-code">Logcontexts without asynchronous code</a></h2>
<p>In the absence of any asynchronous voodoo, things are simple enough. As with
any code of this nature, the rule is that our function should leave
things as it found them:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">from synapse.logging import context # omitted from future snippets
def handle_request(request_id):
request_context = context.LoggingContext()
calling_context = context.set_current_context(request_context)
try:
request_context.request = request_id
do_request_handling()
logger.debug("finished")
finally:
context.set_current_context(calling_context)
def do_request_handling():
logger.debug("phew") # this will be logged against request_id
</code></pre>
<p>LoggingContext implements the context management methods, so the above
can be written much more succinctly as:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">def handle_request(request_id):
with context.LoggingContext() as request_context:
request_context.request = request_id
do_request_handling()
logger.debug("finished")
def do_request_handling():
logger.debug("phew")
</code></pre>
<h2 id="using-logcontexts-with-awaitables"><a class="header" href="#using-logcontexts-with-awaitables">Using logcontexts with awaitables</a></h2>
<p>Awaitables break the linear flow of code so that there is no longer a single entry point
where we should set the logcontext and a single exit point where we should remove it.</p>
<p>Consider the example above, where <code>do_request_handling</code> needs to do some
blocking operation, and returns an awaitable:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def handle_request(request_id):
with context.LoggingContext() as request_context:
request_context.request = request_id
await do_request_handling()
logger.debug("finished")
</code></pre>
<p>In the above flow:</p>
<ul>
<li>The logcontext is set</li>
<li><code>do_request_handling</code> is called, and returns an awaitable</li>
<li><code>handle_request</code> awaits the awaitable</li>
<li>Execution of <code>handle_request</code> is suspended</li>
</ul>
<p>So we have stopped processing the request (and will probably go on to
start processing the next), without clearing the logcontext.</p>
<p>To circumvent this problem, synapse code assumes that, wherever you have
an awaitable, you will want to <code>await</code> it. To that end, whereever
functions return awaitables, we adopt the following conventions:</p>
<p><strong>Rules for functions returning awaitables:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>If the awaitable is already complete, the function returns with the
same logcontext it started with.</li>
<li>If the awaitable is incomplete, the function clears the logcontext
before returning; when the awaitable completes, it restores the
logcontext before running any callbacks.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>That sounds complicated, but actually it means a lot of code (including
the example above) "just works". There are two cases:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If <code>do_request_handling</code> returns a completed awaitable, then the
logcontext will still be in place. In this case, execution will
continue immediately after the <code>await</code>; the "finished" line will
be logged against the right context, and the <code>with</code> block restores
the original context before we return to the caller.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the returned awaitable is incomplete, <code>do_request_handling</code> clears
the logcontext before returning. The logcontext is therefore clear
when <code>handle_request</code> <code>await</code>s the awaitable.</p>
<p>Once <code>do_request_handling</code>'s awaitable completes, it will reinstate
the logcontext, before running the second half of <code>handle_request</code>,
so again the "finished" line will be logged against the right context,
and the <code>with</code> block restores the original context.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>As an aside, it's worth noting that <code>handle_request</code> follows our rules</p>
<ul>
<li>though that only matters if the caller has its own logcontext which it
cares about.</li>
</ul>
<p>The following sections describe pitfalls and helpful patterns when
implementing these rules.</p>
<h2 id="always-await-your-awaitables"><a class="header" href="#always-await-your-awaitables">Always await your awaitables</a></h2>
<p>Whenever you get an awaitable back from a function, you should <code>await</code> on
it as soon as possible. Do not pass go; do not do any logging; do not
call any other functions.</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def fun():
logger.debug("starting")
await do_some_stuff() # just like this
coro = more_stuff()
result = await coro # also fine, of course
return result
</code></pre>
<p>Provided this pattern is followed all the way back up to the callchain
to where the logcontext was set, this will make things work out ok:
provided <code>do_some_stuff</code> and <code>more_stuff</code> follow the rules above, then
so will <code>fun</code>.</p>
<p>It's all too easy to forget to <code>await</code>: for instance if we forgot that
<code>do_some_stuff</code> returned an awaitable, we might plough on regardless. This
leads to a mess; it will probably work itself out eventually, but not
before a load of stuff has been logged against the wrong context.
(Normally, other things will break, more obviously, if you forget to
<code>await</code>, so this tends not to be a major problem in practice.)</p>
<p>Of course sometimes you need to do something a bit fancier with your
awaitable - not all code follows the linear A-then-B-then-C pattern.
Notes on implementing more complex patterns are in later sections.</p>
<h2 id="where-you-create-a-new-awaitable-make-it-follow-the-rules"><a class="header" href="#where-you-create-a-new-awaitable-make-it-follow-the-rules">Where you create a new awaitable, make it follow the rules</a></h2>
<p>Most of the time, an awaitable comes from another synapse function.
Sometimes, though, we need to make up a new awaitable, or we get an awaitable
back from external code. We need to make it follow our rules.</p>
<p>The easy way to do it is by using <code>context.make_deferred_yieldable</code>. Suppose we want to implement
<code>sleep</code>, which returns a deferred which will run its callbacks after a
given number of seconds. That might look like:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python"># not a logcontext-rules-compliant function
def get_sleep_deferred(seconds):
d = defer.Deferred()
reactor.callLater(seconds, d.callback, None)
return d
</code></pre>
<p>That doesn't follow the rules, but we can fix it by calling it through
<code>context.make_deferred_yieldable</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def sleep(seconds):
return await context.make_deferred_yieldable(get_sleep_deferred(seconds))
</code></pre>
<h2 id="fire-and-forget"><a class="header" href="#fire-and-forget">Fire-and-forget</a></h2>
<p>Sometimes you want to fire off a chain of execution, but not wait for
its result. That might look a bit like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def do_request_handling():
await foreground_operation()
# *don't* do this
background_operation()
logger.debug("Request handling complete")
async def background_operation():
await first_background_step()
logger.debug("Completed first step")
await second_background_step()
logger.debug("Completed second step")
</code></pre>
<p>The above code does a couple of steps in the background after
<code>do_request_handling</code> has finished. The log lines are still logged
against the <code>request_context</code> logcontext, which may or may not be
desirable. There are two big problems with the above, however. The first
problem is that, if <code>background_operation</code> returns an incomplete
awaitable, it will expect its caller to <code>await</code> immediately, so will have
cleared the logcontext. In this example, that means that 'Request
handling complete' will be logged without any context.</p>
<p>The second problem, which is potentially even worse, is that when the
awaitable returned by <code>background_operation</code> completes, it will restore
the original logcontext. There is nothing waiting on that awaitable, so
the logcontext will leak into the reactor and possibly get attached to
some arbitrary future operation.</p>
<p>There are two potential solutions to this.</p>
<p>One option is to surround the call to <code>background_operation</code> with a
<code>PreserveLoggingContext</code> call. That will reset the logcontext before
starting <code>background_operation</code> (so the context restored when the
deferred completes will be the empty logcontext), and will restore the
current logcontext before continuing the foreground process:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def do_request_handling():
await foreground_operation()
# start background_operation off in the empty logcontext, to
# avoid leaking the current context into the reactor.
with PreserveLoggingContext():
background_operation()
# this will now be logged against the request context
logger.debug("Request handling complete")
</code></pre>
<p>Obviously that option means that the operations done in
<code>background_operation</code> would be not be logged against a logcontext
(though that might be fixed by setting a different logcontext via a
<code>with LoggingContext(...)</code> in <code>background_operation</code>).</p>
<p>The second option is to use <code>context.run_in_background</code>, which wraps a
function so that it doesn't reset the logcontext even when it returns
an incomplete awaitable, and adds a callback to the returned awaitable to
reset the logcontext. In other words, it turns a function that follows
the Synapse rules about logcontexts and awaitables into one which behaves
more like an external function --- the opposite operation to that
described in the previous section. It can be used like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def do_request_handling():
await foreground_operation()
context.run_in_background(background_operation)
# this will now be logged against the request context
logger.debug("Request handling complete")
</code></pre>
<h2 id="passing-synapse-deferreds-into-third-party-functions"><a class="header" href="#passing-synapse-deferreds-into-third-party-functions">Passing synapse deferreds into third-party functions</a></h2>
<p>A typical example of this is where we want to collect together two or
more awaitables via <code>defer.gatherResults</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">a1 = operation1()
a2 = operation2()
a3 = defer.gatherResults([a1, a2])
</code></pre>
<p>This is really a variation of the fire-and-forget problem above, in that
we are firing off <code>a1</code> and <code>a2</code> without awaiting on them. The difference
is that we now have third-party code attached to their callbacks. Anyway
either technique given in the <a href="log_contexts.html#fire-and-forget">Fire-and-forget</a>
section will work.</p>
<p>Of course, the new awaitable returned by <code>gather</code> needs to be
wrapped in order to make it follow the logcontext rules before we can
yield it, as described in <a href="log_contexts.html#where-you-create-a-new-awaitable-make-it-follow-the-rules">Where you create a new awaitable, make it
follow the
rules</a>.</p>
<p>So, option one: reset the logcontext before starting the operations to
be gathered:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def do_request_handling():
with PreserveLoggingContext():
a1 = operation1()
a2 = operation2()
result = await defer.gatherResults([a1, a2])
</code></pre>
<p>In this case particularly, though, option two, of using
<code>context.run_in_background</code> almost certainly makes more sense, so that
<code>operation1</code> and <code>operation2</code> are both logged against the original
logcontext. This looks like:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def do_request_handling():
a1 = context.run_in_background(operation1)
a2 = context.run_in_background(operation2)
result = await make_deferred_yieldable(defer.gatherResults([a1, a2]))
</code></pre>
<h2 id="a-note-on-garbage-collection-of-awaitable-chains"><a class="header" href="#a-note-on-garbage-collection-of-awaitable-chains">A note on garbage-collection of awaitable chains</a></h2>
<p>It turns out that our logcontext rules do not play nicely with awaitable
chains which get orphaned and garbage-collected.</p>
<p>Imagine we have some code that looks like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">listener_queue = []
def on_something_interesting():
for d in listener_queue:
d.callback("foo")
async def await_something_interesting():
new_awaitable = defer.Deferred()
listener_queue.append(new_awaitable)
with PreserveLoggingContext():
await new_awaitable
</code></pre>
<p>Obviously, the idea here is that we have a bunch of things which are
waiting for an event. (It's just an example of the problem here, but a
relatively common one.)</p>
<p>Now let's imagine two further things happen. First of all, whatever was
waiting for the interesting thing goes away. (Perhaps the request times
out, or something <em>even more</em> interesting happens.)</p>
<p>Secondly, let's suppose that we decide that the interesting thing is
never going to happen, and we reset the listener queue:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">def reset_listener_queue():
listener_queue.clear()
</code></pre>
<p>So, both ends of the awaitable chain have now dropped their references,
and the awaitable chain is now orphaned, and will be garbage-collected at
some point. Note that <code>await_something_interesting</code> is a coroutine,
which Python implements as a generator function. When Python
garbage-collects generator functions, it gives them a chance to
clean up by making the <code>async</code> (or <code>yield</code>) raise a <code>GeneratorExit</code>
exception. In our case, that means that the <code>__exit__</code> handler of
<code>PreserveLoggingContext</code> will carefully restore the request context, but
there is now nothing waiting for its return, so the request context is
never cleared.</p>
<p>To reiterate, this problem only arises when <em>both</em> ends of a awaitable
chain are dropped. Dropping the the reference to an awaitable you're
supposed to be awaiting is bad practice, so this doesn't
actually happen too much. Unfortunately, when it does happen, it will
lead to leaked logcontexts which are incredibly hard to track down.</p>

<h2 id="motivation"><a class="header" href="#motivation">Motivation</a></h2>
<p>We'd like to be able to split some of the work that synapse does into
multiple python processes. In theory multiple synapse processes could
share a single postgresql database and we'd scale up by running more
synapse processes. However much of synapse assumes that only one process
is interacting with the database, both for assigning unique identifiers
when inserting into tables, notifying components about new updates, and
for invalidating its caches.</p>
<p>So running multiple copies of the current code isn't an option. One way
to run multiple processes would be to have a single writer process and
multiple reader processes connected to the same database. In order to do
this we'd need a way for the reader process to invalidate its in-memory
caches when an update happens on the writer. One way to do this is for
the writer to present an append-only log of updates which the readers
can consume to invalidate their caches and to push updates to listening
clients or pushers.</p>
<p>Synapse already stores much of its data as an append-only log so that it
can correctly respond to <code>/sync</code> requests so the amount of code changes
needed to expose the append-only log to the readers should be fairly
minimal.</p>

<h2 id="motivation-1"><a class="header" href="#motivation-1">Motivation</a></h2>
<p>Previously the workers used an HTTP long poll mechanism to get updates
from the master, which had the problem of causing a lot of duplicate
work on the server. This TCP protocol replaces those APIs with the aim
of increased efficiency.</p>
<h2 id="overview-3"><a class="header" href="#overview-3">Overview</a></h2>
<p>The protocol is based on fire and forget, line based commands. An
example flow would be (where '>' indicates master to worker and
'<' worker to master flows):</p>
<pre><code>> SERVER example.com
< REPLICATE
> POSITION events master 53 53
> RDATA events master 54 ["$foo1:bar.com", ...]
> RDATA events master 55 ["$foo4:bar.com", ...]
</code></pre>
<p>The example shows the server accepting a new connection and sending its identity
with the <code>SERVER</code> command, followed by the client server to respond with the
position of all streams. The server then periodically sends <code>RDATA</code> commands
which have the format <code>RDATA <stream_name> <instance_name> <token> <row></code>, where
the format of <code><row></code> is defined by the individual streams. The
<code><instance_name></code> is the name of the Synapse process that generated the data
(usually "master").</p>
<p>Error reporting happens by either the client or server sending an ERROR
command, and usually the connection will be closed.</p>
<p>Since the protocol is a simple line based, its possible to manually
connect to the server using a tool like netcat. A few things should be
noted when manually using the protocol:</p>
<ul>
<li>The federation stream is only available if federation sending has
been disabled on the main process.</li>
<li>The server will only time connections out that have sent a <code>PING</code>
command. If a ping is sent then the connection will be closed if no
further commands are receieved within 15s. Both the client and
server protocol implementations will send an initial PING on
connection and ensure at least one command every 5s is sent (not
necessarily <code>PING</code>).</li>
<li><code>RDATA</code> commands <em>usually</em> include a numeric token, however if the
stream has multiple rows to replicate per token the server will send
multiple <code>RDATA</code> commands, with all but the last having a token of
<code>batch</code>. See the documentation on <code>commands.RdataCommand</code> for
further details.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="architecture-1"><a class="header" href="#architecture-1">Architecture</a></h2>
<p>The basic structure of the protocol is line based, where the initial
word of each line specifies the command. The rest of the line is parsed
based on the command. For example, the RDATA command is defined as:</p>
<pre><code>RDATA <stream_name> <instance_name> <token> <row_json>
</code></pre>
<p>(Note that <row_json> may contains spaces, but cannot contain
newlines.)</p>
<p>Blank lines are ignored.</p>
<h3 id="keep-alives"><a class="header" href="#keep-alives">Keep alives</a></h3>
<p>Both sides are expected to send at least one command every 5s or so, and
should send a <code>PING</code> command if necessary. If either side do not receive
a command within e.g. 15s then the connection should be closed.</p>
<p>Because the server may be connected to manually using e.g. netcat, the
timeouts aren't enabled until an initial <code>PING</code> command is seen. Both
the client and server implementations below send a <code>PING</code> command
immediately on connection to ensure the timeouts are enabled.</p>
<p>This ensures that both sides can quickly realize if the tcp connection
has gone and handle the situation appropriately.</p>
<h3 id="start-up"><a class="header" href="#start-up">Start up</a></h3>
<p>When a new connection is made, the server:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sends a <code>SERVER</code> command, which includes the identity of the server,
allowing the client to detect if its connected to the expected
server</li>
<li>Sends a <code>PING</code> command as above, to enable the client to time out
connections promptly.</li>
</ul>
<p>The client:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sends a <code>NAME</code> command, allowing the server to associate a human
friendly name with the connection. This is optional.</li>
<li>Sends a <code>PING</code> as above</li>
<li>Sends a <code>REPLICATE</code> to get the current position of all streams.</li>
<li>On receipt of a <code>SERVER</code> command, checks that the server name
matches the expected server name.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="error-handling"><a class="header" href="#error-handling">Error handling</a></h3>
<p>If either side detects an error it can send an <code>ERROR</code> command and close
the connection.</p>
<p>If the client side loses the connection to the server it should
reconnect, following the steps above.</p>
<h3 id="congestion"><a class="header" href="#congestion">Congestion</a></h3>
<p>If the server sends messages faster than the client can consume them the
server will first buffer a (fairly large) number of commands and then
disconnect the client. This ensures that we don't queue up an unbounded
number of commands in memory and gives us a potential oppurtunity to
squawk loudly. When/if the client recovers it can reconnect to the
server and ask for missed messages.</p>
<h3 id="reliability"><a class="header" href="#reliability">Reliability</a></h3>
<p>In general the replication stream should be considered an unreliable
transport since e.g. commands are not resent if the connection
disappears.</p>
<p>The exception to that are the replication streams, i.e. RDATA commands,
since these include tokens which can be used to restart the stream on
connection errors.</p>
<p>The client should keep track of the token in the last RDATA command
received for each stream so that on reconneciton it can start streaming
from the correct place. Note: not all RDATA have valid tokens due to
batching. See <code>RdataCommand</code> for more details.</p>

<p>An example iteraction is shown below. Each line is prefixed with '>'
or '<' to indicate which side is sending, these are <em>not</em> included on
the wire:</p>
<pre><code>* connection established *

< PING 1490197675618
> ERROR server stopping
* connection closed by server *
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>POSITION</code> command sent by the server is used to set the clients
position without needing to send data with the <code>RDATA</code> command.</p>
<p>An example of a batched set of <code>RDATA</code> is:</p>
<pre><code>> RDATA caches master batch ["get_user_by_id",["@test:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
> RDATA caches master batch ["get_user_by_id",["@test2:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
> RDATA caches master batch ["get_user_by_id",["@test3:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
> RDATA caches master 54 ["get_user_by_id",["@test4:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
</code></pre>
<p>In this case the client shouldn't advance their caches token until it
sees the the last <code>RDATA</code>.</p>

<p>The POSITION command includes the source of the stream. Currently all streams

<h3 id="cache-invalidation-stream"><a class="header" href="#cache-invalidation-stream">Cache Invalidation Stream</a></h3>
<p>The cache invalidation stream is used to inform workers when they need
to invalidate any of their caches in the data store. This is done by
streaming all cache invalidations done on master down to the workers,
assuming that any caches on the workers also exist on the master.</p>
<p>Each individual cache invalidation results in a row being sent down
replication, which includes the cache name (the name of the function)
and they key to invalidate. For example:</p>
<pre><code>> RDATA caches master 550953771 ["get_user_by_id", ["@bob:example.com"], 1550574873251]
</code></pre>
<p>Alternatively, an entire cache can be invalidated by sending down a <code>null</code>
instead of the key. For example:</p>
<pre><code>> RDATA caches master 550953772 ["get_user_by_id", null, 1550574873252]
</code></pre>
<p>However, there are times when a number of caches need to be invalidated
at the same time with the same key. To reduce traffic we batch those
invalidations into a single poke by defining a special cache name that
workers understand to mean to expand to invalidate the correct caches.</p>
<p>Currently the special cache names are declared in
<code>synapse/storage/_base.py</code> and are:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>cs_cache_fake</code> ─ invalidates caches that depend on the current
state</li>
</ol>

<p>https://capriza.github.io/samling/samling.html (https://github.com/capriza/samling) is a great
resource for being able to tinker with the SAML options within Synapse without needing to
deploy and configure a complicated software stack.</p>
<p>To make Synapse (and therefore Riot) use it:</p>
<ol>
<li>Use the samling.html URL above or deploy your own and visit the IdP Metadata tab.</li>
<li>Copy the XML to your clipboard.</li>
<li>On your Synapse server, create a new file <code>samling.xml</code> next to your <code>homeserver.yaml</code> with
the XML from step 2 as the contents.</li>
<li>Edit your <code>homeserver.yaml</code> to include:
<pre><code class="language-yaml">saml2_config:
sp_config:
allow_unknown_attributes: true # Works around a bug with AVA Hashes: https://github.com/IdentityPython/pysaml2/issues/388
metadata:
local: ["samling.xml"]
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>Ensure that your <code>homeserver.yaml</code> has a setting for <code>public_baseurl</code>:
<pre><code class="language-yaml">public_baseurl: http://localhost:8080/
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>Run <code>apt-get install xmlsec1</code> and <code>pip install --upgrade --force 'pysaml2>=4.5.0'</code> to ensure
the dependencies are installed and ready to go.</li>
<li>Restart Synapse.</li>
</ol>
<p>Then in Riot:</p>
<ol>
<li>Visit the login page with a Riot pointing at your homeserver.</li>
<li>Click the Single Sign-On button.</li>
<li>On the samling page, enter a Name Identifier and add a SAML Attribute for <code>uid=your_localpart</code>.
The response must also be signed.</li>
<li>Click "Next".</li>
<li>Click "Post Response" (change nothing).</li>
<li>You should be logged in.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you try and repeat this process, you may be automatically logged in using the information you
gave previously. To fix this, open your developer console (<code>F12</code> or <code>Ctrl+Shift+I</code>) while on the
samling page and clear the site data. In Chrome, this will be a button on the Application tab.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://github.com/jbittel/django-mama-cas">django-mama-cas</a> project is an
easy to run CAS implementation built on top of Django.</p>
<h2 id="prerequisites"><a class="header" href="#prerequisites">Prerequisites</a></h2>
<ol>
<li>Create a new virtualenv: <code>python3 -m venv <your virtualenv></code></li>
<li>Activate your virtualenv: <code>source /path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/activate</code></li>
<li>Install Django and django-mama-cas:
<pre><code>python -m pip install "django<3" "django-mama-cas==2.4.0"
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>Create a Django project in the current directory:
<pre><code>django-admin startproject cas_test .
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>Follow the <a href="https://django-mama-cas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#configuring">install directions</a> for django-mama-cas</li>
<li>Setup the SQLite database: <code>python manage.py migrate</code></li>
<li>Create a user:
<pre><code>python manage.py createsuperuser
</code></pre>
<ol>
<li>Use whatever you want as the username and password.</li>
<li>Leave the other fields blank.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Use the built-in Django test server to serve the CAS endpoints on port 8000:
<pre><code>python manage.py runserver
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
<p>You should now have a Django project configured to serve CAS authentication with
a single user created.</p>

<ol>
<li>Modify your <code>homeserver.yaml</code> to enable CAS and point it to your locally
running Django test server:
<pre><code class="language-yaml">cas_config:
enabled: true
server_url: "http://localhost:8000"
service_url: "http://localhost:8081"
#displayname_attribute: name
#required_attributes:

</code></pre>
</li>
<li>Restart Synapse.</li>
</ol>
<p>Note that the above configuration assumes the homeserver is running on port 8081
and that the CAS server is on port 8000, both on localhost.</p>
<h2 id="testing-the-configuration"><a class="header" href="#testing-the-configuration">Testing the configuration</a></h2>
<p>Then in Element:</p>
<ol>
<li>Visit the login page with a Element pointing at your homeserver.</li>
<li>Click the Single Sign-On button.</li>
<li>Login using the credentials created with <code>createsuperuser</code>.</li>
<li>You should be logged in.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you want to repeat this process you'll need to manually logout first:</p>
<ol>
<li>http://localhost:8000/admin/</li>
<li>Click "logout" in the top right.</li>

<div id="chapter_begin" style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="auth-chain-difference-algorithm"><a class="header" href="#auth-chain-difference-algorithm">Auth Chain Difference Algorithm</a></h1>
<p>The auth chain difference algorithm is used by V2 state resolution, where a
naive implementation can be a significant source of CPU and DB usage.</p>
<h3 id="definitions"><a class="header" href="#definitions">Definitions</a></h3>
<p>A <em>state set</em> is a set of state events; e.g. the input of a state resolution
algorithm is a collection of state sets.</p>
<p>The <em>auth chain</em> of a set of events are all the events' auth events and <em>their</em>
auth events, recursively (i.e. the events reachable by walking the graph induced
by an event's auth events links).</p>
<p>The <em>auth chain difference</em> of a collection of state sets is the union minus the
intersection of the sets of auth chains corresponding to the state sets, i.e an
event is in the auth chain difference if it is reachable by walking the auth
event graph from at least one of the state sets but not from <em>all</em> of the state
sets.</p>
<h2 id="breadth-first-walk-algorithm"><a class="header" href="#breadth-first-walk-algorithm">Breadth First Walk Algorithm</a></h2>
<p>A way of calculating the auth chain difference without calculating the full auth
chains for each state set is to do a parallel breadth first walk (ordered by
depth) of each state set's auth chain. By tracking which events are reachable
from each state set we can finish early if every pending event is reachable from
every state set.</p>
<p>This can work well for state sets that have a small auth chain difference, but
can be very inefficient for larger differences. However, this algorithm is still
used if we don't have a chain cover index for the room (e.g. because we're in
the process of indexing it).</p>
<h2 id="chain-cover-index"><a class="header" href="#chain-cover-index">Chain Cover Index</a></h2>
<p>Synapse computes auth chain differences by pre-computing a "chain cover" index
for the auth chain in a room, allowing efficient reachability queries like "is
event A in the auth chain of event B". This is done by assigning every event a
<em>chain ID</em> and <em>sequence number</em> (e.g. <code>(5,3)</code>), and having a map of <em>links</em>
between chains (e.g. <code>(5,3) -> (2,4)</code>) such that A is reachable by B (i.e. <code>A</code>
is in the auth chain of <code>B</code>) if and only if either:</p>
<ol>
<li>A and B have the same chain ID and <code>A</code>'s sequence number is less than <code>B</code>'s
sequence number; or</li>
<li>there is a link <code>L</code> between <code>B</code>'s chain ID and <code>A</code>'s chain ID such that
<code>L.start_seq_no</code> <= <code>B.seq_no</code> and <code>A.seq_no</code> <= <code>L.end_seq_no</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>There are actually two potential implementations, one where we store links from
each chain to every other reachable chain (the transitive closure of the links
graph), and one where we remove redundant links (the transitive reduction of the
links graph) e.g. if we have chains <code>C3 -> C2 -> C1</code> then the link <code>C3 -> C1</code>
would not be stored. Synapse uses the former implementations so that it doesn't
need to recurse to test reachability between chains.</p>
<h3 id="example-6"><a class="header" href="#example-6">Example</a></h3>
<p>An example auth graph would look like the following, where chains have been
formed based on type/state_key and are denoted by colour and are labelled with
<code>(chain ID, sequence number)</code>. Links are denoted by the arrows (links in grey
are those that would be remove in the second implementation described above).</p>
<p><img src="auth_chain_diff.dot.png" alt="Example" /></p>
<p>Note that we don't include all links between events and their auth events, as
most of those links would be redundant. For example, all events point to the
create event, but each chain only needs the one link from it's base to the
create event.</p>
<h2 id="using-the-index"><a class="header" href="#using-the-index">Using the Index</a></h2>
<p>This index can be used to calculate the auth chain difference of the state sets
by looking at the chain ID and sequence numbers reachable from each state set:</p>
<ol>
<li>For every state set lookup the chain ID/sequence numbers of each state event</li>
<li>Use the index to find all chains and the maximum sequence number reachable
from each state set.</li>
<li>The auth chain difference is then all events in each chain that have sequence
numbers between the maximum sequence number reachable from <em>any</em> state set and
the minimum reachable by <em>all</em> state sets (if any).</li>
</ol>
<p>Note that steps 2 is effectively calculating the auth chain for each state set
(in terms of chain IDs and sequence numbers), and step 3 is calculating the
difference between the union and intersection of the auth chains.</p>
<h3 id="worked-example"><a class="header" href="#worked-example">Worked Example</a></h3>
<p>For example, given the above graph, we can calculate the difference between
state sets consisting of:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>S1</code>: Alice's invite <code>(4,1)</code> and Bob's second join <code>(2,2)</code>; and</li>
<li><code>S2</code>: Alice's second join <code>(4,3)</code> and Bob's first join <code>(2,1)</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Using the index we see that the following auth chains are reachable from each
state set:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>S1</code>: <code>(1,1)</code>, <code>(2,2)</code>, <code>(3,1)</code> & <code>(4,1)</code></li>
<li><code>S2</code>: <code>(1,1)</code>, <code>(2,1)</code>, <code>(3,2)</code> & <code>(4,3)</code></li>
</ol>
<p>And so, for each the ranges that are in the auth chain difference:</p>
<ol>
<li>Chain 1: None, (since everything can reach the create event).</li>
<li>Chain 2: The range <code>(1, 2]</code> (i.e. just <code>2</code>), as <code>1</code> is reachable by all state
sets and the maximum reachable is <code>2</code> (corresponding to Bob's second join).</li>
<li>Chain 3: Similarly the range <code>(1, 2]</code> (corresponding to the second power
level).</li>
<li>Chain 4: The range <code>(1, 3]</code> (corresponding to both of Alice's joins).</li>
</ol>
<p>So the final result is: Bob's second join <code>(2,2)</code>, the second power level
<code>(3,2)</code> and both of Alice's joins <code>(4,2)</code> & <code>(4,3)</code>.</p>

It caches attachment content and thumbnails for media uploaded by remote users.</p>
<h2 id="storage"><a class="header" href="#storage">Storage</a></h2>
<p>Each item of media is assigned a <code>media_id</code> when it is uploaded.

<p>Content is stored on the filesystem under a <code>"local_content"</code> directory.</p>
<p>Thumbnails are stored under a <code>"local_thumbnails"</code> directory.</p>
<p>The item with <code>media_id</code> <code>"aabbccccccccdddddddddddd"</code> is stored under

<h2 id="policy"><a class="header" href="#policy">Policy</a></h2>
<p>Synapse follows the upstream support life cycles for Python and PostgreSQL,
i.e. when a version reaches End of Life Synapse will withdraw support for that
version in future releases.</p>
<p>Details on the upstream support life cycles for Python and PostgreSQL are
documented at https://endoflife.date/python and
https://endoflife.date/postgresql.</p>
<h2 id="context"><a class="header" href="#context">Context</a></h2>
<p>It is important for system admins to have a clear understanding of the platform
requirements of Synapse and its deprecation policies so that they can
effectively plan upgrading their infrastructure ahead of time. This is
especially important in contexts where upgrading the infrastructure requires
auditing and approval from a security team, or where otherwise upgrading is a
long process.</p>
<p>By following the upstream support life cycles Synapse can ensure that its
dependencies continue to get security patches, while not requiring system admins
to constantly update their platform dependencies to the latest versions.</p>
