Also\\nnote the absence of merge commits, as well as the absence of commits called\\nthings like (to pick a few culprits): “pep8”, “fix broken\\ntest”, “oops”, “typo”, or “Who’s\\nthe president?”. There are a number of reasons why keeping a clean commit history is a good\\nthing: From time to time, after a change lands, it turns out to be necessary to\\nrevert it, or to backport it to a release branch. Those operations are much easier when the change is contained in a single commit. Similarly, it’s much easier to answer questions like “is the fix for /publicRooms on the release branch?” if that change consists of a single\\ncommit. Likewise: “what has changed on this branch in the last week?” is much\\nclearer without merges and “pep8” commits everywhere. Sometimes we need to figure out where a bug got introduced, or some\\nbehaviour changed. One way of doing that is with git bisect: pick an\\narbitrary commit between the known good point and the known bad point, and\\nsee how the code behaves.

How do we achieve it? The TL;DR is: when you come to merge a pull request, you probably want to\\n“squash and merge”: . (This applies whether you are merging your own PR, or that of another\\ncontributor.) “Squash and merge” 1 takes all of the changes in the\\nPR, and bundles them into a single commit. GitHub gives you the opportunity to\\nedit the commit message before you confirm, and normally you should do so,\\nbecause the default will be useless (again: * woops typo is not a useful\\nthing to keep in the historical record). The main problem with this approach comes when you have a series of pull\\nrequests which build on top of one another: as soon as you squash-merge the\\nfirst PR, you’ll end up with a stack of conflicts to resolve in all of the\\nothers. In general, it’s best to avoid this situation in the first place by\\ntrying not to have multiple related PRs in flight at the same time. Still,\\nsometimes that’s not possible and doing a regular merge is the lesser evil. Another occasion in which a regular merge makes more sense is a PR where you’ve\\ndeliberately created a series of commits each of which makes sense in its own\\nright. For example: a PR which gradually propagates a refactoring operation\\nthrough the codebase, or a\\nPR which is the culmination of several other\\nPRs. In this case the ability\\nto figure out when a particular change/bug was introduced could be very useful. Ultimately: this is not a hard-and-fast-rule. If in doubt, ask yourself “do\\neach of the commits I am about to merge make sense in their own right”, but\\nremember that we’re just doing our best to balance “keeping the commit history\\nclean” with other factors.","breadcrumbs":"Git Usage » Merges, squashes, rebases: wtf?","id":"1008","title":"Merges, squashes, rebases: wtf?"},"1009":{"body":"A lot of words have been\\nwritten in the past about git branching models (no really, a\\nlot). I tend to\\nthink the whole thing is overblown. Fundamentally, it’s not that\\ncomplicated. Here’s how we do it. Let’s start with a picture: It looks complicated, but it’s really not. There’s one basic rule: anyone is\\nfree to merge from any more-stable branch to any less-stable branch at any time 2. (The principle behind this is that if a\\nchange is good enough for the more-stable branch, then it’s also good enough go\\nput in a less-stable branch.) Meanwhile, merging (or squashing, as per the above) from a less-stable to a\\nmore-stable branch is a deliberate action in which you want to publish a change\\nor a set of changes to (some subset of) the world: for example, this happens\\nwhen a PR is landed, or as part of our release process. So, what counts as a more- or less-stable branch? A little reflection will show\\nthat our active branches are ordered thus, from more-stable to less-stable: master (tracks our last release). release-vX.Y (the branch where we prepare the next release) 3. PR branches which are targeting the release. develop (our “mainline” branch containing our bleeding-edge). regular PR branches. The corollary is: if you have a bugfix that needs to land in both release-vX.Y and develop, then you should base your PR on release-vX.Y, get it merged there, and then merge from release-vX.Y to develop. (If a fix lands in develop and we later need it in a\\nrelease-branch, we can of course cherry-pick it, but landing it in the release\\nbranch first helps reduce the chance of annoying conflicts.)

Given that there is no merge involved, I’m not convinced it’s the\\nmost intuitive name. ^ [2]: Well, anyone with commit access. ^ [3]: Very, very occasionally (I think this has happened once in\\nthe history of Synapse), we’ve had two releases in flight at once.

These are mainly used to\\nhelp avoid confusion if the Synapse codebase is rolled back after the database is\\nupdated. They work as follows: The Synapse codebase defines a constant synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION\\nwhich represents the expectations made about the database by that version. For\\nexample, as of Synapse v1.36, this is 59. The database stores a “compatibility version” in schema_compat_version.compat_version which defines the SCHEMA_VERSION of the\\noldest version of Synapse which will work with the database. On startup, if compat_version is found to be newer than SCHEMA_VERSION, Synapse will refuse to\\nstart. Synapse automatically updates this field from synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION. Whenever a backwards-incompatible change is made to the database format (normally\\nvia a delta file), synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION is also updated\\nso that administrators can not accidentally roll back to a too-old version of Synapse. Generally, the goal is to maintain compatibility with at least one or two previous\\nreleases of Synapse, so any substantial change tends to require multiple releases and a\\nbit of forward-planning to get right. As a worked example: we want to remove the room_stats_historical table. Here is how it\\nmight pan out. Replace any code that reads from room_stats_historical with alternative\\nimplementations, but keep writing to it in case of rollback to an earlier version.\\nAlso, increase synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION.

Again, we increase synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION, but\\nbecause we have not broken compatibility with v1.36, we do not yet update SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION. We now have: v1.37.0: SCHEMA_VERSION=60, SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION=59. Later (say in Synapse v1.38.0): we can remove the table altogether.

It might be tempting to make version N + 2 redundant by moving the background update to N + 1 and delaying adding the NOT NULL constraint to N + 3, but that would mean the constraint would always be validated in the foreground in N + 3. Whereas if the N + 2 step is kept, the migration in N + 3 would be fast in the happy case.

Additionally, VALIDATE CONSTRAINT to make the check fully valid. -- you ideally want an index on `new_column` or e.g. `(new_column) WHERE new_column IS NULL` first, or perhaps you can find a way to skip this if the `NOT NULL` constraint has already been validated.\\nUPDATE mytable SET new_column = old_column * 100 WHERE new_column IS NULL; -- this is a no-op if it already ran as part of the background update\\nALTER TABLE mytable VALIDATE CONSTRAINT new_column_not_null; (SQLite) Recreate the table by precisely following the 12-step procedure for SQLite table schema changes.\\nDuring this table rewrite, you should recreate new_column as NOT NULL and populate any outstanding NULL values at the same time.\\nUnfortunately, you can’t drop old_column yet because it must be present for compatibility with the Postgres schema, as needed by portdb.\\n(Otherwise you could do this all in one go with SQLite!) Invariants: old_column is written to by Synapse (but no longer read by Synapse!). new_column is read by Synapse and written to by Synapse. Moreover, all rows have a non- NULL value in this field, as guaranteed by a schema constraint. Notes: We can’t drop old_column yet, or even stop writing to it, because that would break a rollback to the previous version of Synapse. Application code can now rely on new_column being populated. The remaining steps are only motivated by the wish to clean-up old columns.

Notes: We can’t drop old_column yet because that would break a rollback to the previous version of Synapse. TODO: It may be possible to relax this and drop the column straight away as long as the previous version of Synapse detected a rollback occurred and stopped attempting to write to the column.

To circumvent this problem, synapse code assumes that, wherever you have\\nan awaitable, you will want to await it. To that end, wherever\\nfunctions return awaitables, we adopt the following conventions: Rules for functions returning awaitables: If the awaitable is already complete, the function returns with the\\nsame logcontext it started with. If the awaitable is incomplete, the function clears the logcontext\\nbefore returning; when the awaitable completes, it restores the\\nlogcontext before running any callbacks.

When you’re fully joined to a room, to have U leave a room their homeserver\\nneeds to create a new leave event for U which will be accepted by other homeservers,\\nand send that event U out to the homeservers in the federation.

The only way to fail check 6 is if the receiving server’s current state of the\\nroom says that U is banned, has left, or has no membership event. But this is\\nfine: the receiving server already thinks that U isn’t in the room. Passes authorization rules based on the current state of the room,\\n> otherwise it is “soft failed”. For the second point (publishing the leave event), the best thing we can do is\\nto is publish to all HSes we know to be currently in the room. If they miss that\\nevent, they might send us traffic in the room that we don’t care about. This is\\na problem with leaving after a “full” join; we don’t seek to fix this with\\npartial joins. (With that said: there’s nothing machine-readable in the /send response. I don’t\\nthink we can deduce “destination has left the room” from a failure to /send an\\nevent into that room?) Can we still do this during a partial join? We can create leave events and can choose what gets included in our auth events,\\nso we can be sure that we pass check 4 on incoming events. For check 5, we might\\nhave an incorrect view of the state before an event.\\nThe only way we might erroneously think a leave is valid is if the partial state before the leave has U joined, invited or knocked, but the full state before the leave has U banned, left or not present, in which case the leave doesn’t make anything worse: other HSes already consider\\nus as not in the room, and will continue to do so after seeing the leave. The remaining obstacle is then: can we safely broadcast the leave event? We may\\nmiss servers or incorrectly think that a server is in the room. Or the\\ndestination server may be offline and miss the transaction containing our leave\\nevent.This should self-heal when they see an event whose prev_events descends\\nfrom our leave. Another option we considered was to use federation /send_leave to ask a\\nfully-joined server to send out the event on our behalf. But that introduces\\ncomplexity without much benefit. Besides, as Rich put it, sending out leaves is pretty best-effort currently so this is probably good enough as-is. Cleanup after the last leave TODO: what cleanup is necessary?

We could do this with an index\\nthat tracks all pairs (A, B) such that A is in the auth chain of B. However, this\\nwould be prohibitively large, scaling poorly as the room accumulates more state\\nevents. Instead, we break down the graph into chains. A chain is a subset of a DAG\\nwith the following property: for any pair of events E and F in the chain,\\nthe chain contains a path E -> F or a path F -> E. This forces a chain to be\\nlinear (without forks), e.g. E -> F -> G -> ... -> H. Each event in the chain\\nis given a sequence number local to that chain. The oldest event E in the\\nchain has sequence number 1. If E has a child F in the chain, then F has\\nsequence number 2. If E has a grandchild G in the chain, then G has\\nsequence number 3; and so on.

There are actually two potential implementations, one where we store links from\\neach chain to every other reachable chain (the transitive closure of the links\\ngraph), and one where we remove redundant links (the transitive reduction of the\\nlinks graph) e.g. if we have chains C3 -> C2 -> C1 then the link C3 -> C1\\nwould not be stored.

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. The message retention policies feature is disabled by default. You can read more about this feature here. This setting has the following sub-options: enabled (boolean): Enforce message retention policies Defaults to false. default_policy (object): Default message retention policy. If set, Synapse will apply it to rooms that lack the m.room.retention state event. This setting has the following sub-options: min_lifetime: Minimum message retention time of the default message retention policy. Synapse doesn’t take this option into account yet. Defaults to null. max_lifetime: Maximum message retention time of the default message retention policy. Defaults to null. allowed_lifetime_min: Retention policy limit. If set, and the state of a room contains a m.room.retention event in its state which contains a min_lifetime that’s beyond this bound, Synapse will cap the room’s policy to these limits when running purge jobs. Defaults to null. allowed_lifetime_max: Retention policy limit. If set, and the state of a room contains a m.room.retention event in its state which contains a max_lifetime that’s beyond this bound, Synapse will cap the room’s policy to these limits when running purge jobs. Defaults to null. purge_jobs (array|null): Server admins can define the settings of the background jobs purging the events whose lifetime has expired under the purge_jobs section. If no configuration is provided for this option, 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 whose 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). Defaults to null. Options for each entry include: shortest_max_lifetime: Apply job to rooms that have a max_lifetime higher than shortest_max_lifetime.

Important note: This is a supported option, but is not currently used in production by the Matrix.org Foundation. Proceed with caution and always make backups. databases is a dictionary of arbitrarily-named database entries. Each entry is equivalent to the value of the database homeserver config option (see above), with the addition of a data_stores key. data_stores is an array of strings that specifies the data store(s) (a defined label for a set of tables) that should be stored on the associated database backend entry. The currently defined values for data_stores are: \\"state\\": Database that relates to state groups will be stored in this database. Specifically, that means the following tables: state_groups state_group_edges state_groups_state And the following sequences: state_groups_seq_id \\"main\\": All other database tables and sequences. All databases will end up with additional tables used for tracking database schema migrations and any pending background updates. Synapse will create these automatically on startup when checking for and/or performing database schema migrations. To migrate an existing database configuration (e.g. all tables on a single database) to a different configuration (e.g. the “main” data store on one database, and “state” on another), do the following: Take a backup of your existing database. Things can and do go wrong and database corruption is no joke! Ensure all pending database migrations have been applied and background updates have run. The simplest way to do this is to use the update_synapse_database script supplied with your Synapse installation. update_synapse_database --database-config homeserver.yaml --run-background-updates Copy over the necessary tables and sequences from one database to the other. Tables relating to database migrations, schemas, schema versions and background updates should not be copied. As an example, say that you’d like to split out the “state” data store from an existing database which currently contains all data stores. Simply copy the tables and sequences defined above for the “state” datastore from the existing database to the secondary database. As noted above, additional tables will be created in the secondary database when Synapse is started. Modify/create the databases option in your homeserver.yaml to match the desired database configuration. Start Synapse. Check that it starts up successfully and that things generally seem to be working. Drop the old tables that were copied in step 3.

Check that you have opened your firewall to allow UDP traffic to the UDP\\nrelay ports (49152-65535 by default). Try disabling TLS/DTLS listeners and enable only its (unencrypted)\\nTCP/UDP listeners. (This will only leave signaling traffic unencrypted;\\nvoice & video WebRTC traffic is always encrypted.) Some WebRTC implementations (notably, that of Google Chrome) appear to get\\nconfused by TURN servers which are reachable over IPv6 (this appears to be\\nan unexpected side-effect of its handling of multiple IP addresses as\\ndefined by draft-ietf-rtcweb-ip-handling). Try removing any AAAA records for your TURN server, so that it is only\\nreachable over IPv4. If your TURN server is behind NAT: double-check that your NAT gateway is correctly forwarding all TURN\\nports (normally 3478 & 5349 for TCP & UDP TURN traffic, and 49152-65535 for the UDP\\nrelay) to the NAT-internal address of your TURN server. If advertising\\nboth IPv4 and IPv6 external addresses via the external-ip option, ensure\\nthat the NAT is forwarding both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic to the IPv4 and IPv6\\ninternal addresses of your TURN server. When in doubt, remove AAAA records\\nfor your TURN server and specify only an IPv4 address as your external-ip. ensure that your TURN server uses the NAT gateway as its default route. Enable more verbose logging, in coturn via the verbose setting: verbose or with eturnal with the shell command eturnalctl loglevel debug or in the configuration file (the service needs to reload for it to become effective): ## Logging configuration: log_level: debug … and then see if there are any clues in its logs.

Use the values provided in the example if you are using the built-in user_mapping_provider, or provide your own config values for a custom class if you are using one. This section will be passed as a Python dictionary to the module’s parse_config method. The built-in provider takes the following two options: mxid_source_attribute: The SAML attribute (after mapping via the attribute maps) to use to derive the Matrix ID from. It is “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_mapping: The mapping system to use for mapping the saml attribute onto a matrix ID. Options include: hexencode (which maps unpermitted characters to =xx) and 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. grandfathered_mxid_source_attribute (string): 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.

Typically it should be “uid”, but if the attribute maps are changed, it may be necessary to change it. Defaults to \\"uid\\". attribute_requirements (array): 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 in the example. All of the listed attributes must match for the login to be permitted. Values can be specified in a one_of list to allow multiple values for an attribute. Options for each entry include: attribute (string): SAML attribute for which to allow logins. value (string): Value the SAML attribute must match. one_of (array): List of values the SAML attribute must all match. idp_entityid (string|null): If the metadata XML contains multiple IdP entities then the idp_entityid option must be set to the entity to redirect users to.

Options for each entry include: idp_id (string): 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 (string): A user-facing name for this identity provider, which is used to offer the user a choice of login mechanisms. idp_icon (string): 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:///. (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 (string): 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 (boolean): Set to false to disable the use of the OIDC discovery mechanism to discover endpoints. Defaults to true. issuer (string): Required. The OIDC issuer. Used to validate tokens and (if discovery is enabled) to discover the provider’s endpoints. client_id (string): Required. OAuth2 client id to use. client_secret (string|null): OAuth2 client secret to use. May be omitted if client_secret_jwt_key is given, or if client_auth_method is none. Must be omitted if client_secret_path is specified. client_secret_path (string|null): Path to the OAuth2 client secret to use. With that it’s not necessary to leak secrets into the config file itself. Mutually exclusive with client_secret. Can be omitted if client_secret_jwt_key is specified. Added in Synapse 1.91.0. client_secret_jwt_key (object|null): Alternative to client_secret: details of a key used to create a JSON Web Token to be used as an OAuth2 client secret. This setting has the following sub-options: key (string|null): A pem-encoded signing key. Must be a suitable key for the algorithm specified. Required unless key_file is given. key_file (string|null): Path to the file containing a pem-encoded signing key. Required unless key is given. jwt_header (object): Dictionary giving properties to include in the JWT header. Must include the key alg. This setting has the following sub-options: alg (string): Algorithm used to sign the JWT, such as ES256, using the JWA identifiers in RFC7518. jwt_payload (object): Optional dictionary giving properties to include in the JWT payload. Normally this should include an iss key. client_auth_method (string|null): Auth method to use when exchanging the token. Valid values are client_secret_basic (default), client_secret_post and none. pkce_method (string|null): Whether to use proof key for code exchange when requesting and exchanging the token. Valid values are: auto, always, or never. Defaults to auto, which uses PKCE if supported during metadata discovery. Set to always to force enable PKCE or never to force disable PKCE. id_token_signing_alg_values_supported (array): List of the JWS signing algorithms ( alg values) that are supported for signing the id_token. This is not required if discovery is disabled. We default to supporting RS256 in the downstream usage if no algorithms are configured here or in the discovery document. According to the spec, the algorithm \\"RS256\\" MUST be included. The absolute rigid approach would be to reject this provider as non-compliant if it’s not included but we simply allow whatever and see what happens (you’re the one that configured the value and cooperating with the identity provider). The alg value \\"none\\" MAY be supported but can only be used if the Authorization Endpoint does not include id_token in the response_type (ex. /authorize?response_type=code where none can apply, /authorize?response_type=code%20id_token where none can’t apply) (such as when using the Authorization Code Flow). scopes (array|null): List of scopes to request. This should normally include the “openid” scope. Defaults to [\\"openid\\"]. authorization_endpoint (string): The OAuth2 authorization endpoint. Required if provider discovery is disabled. token_endpoint (string): The OAuth2 token endpoint. Required if provider discovery is disabled. userinfo_endpoint (string): The OIDC userinfo endpoint. Required if discovery is disabled and the “openid” scope is not requested. jwks_uri (string): URI where to fetch the JWKS. Required if discovery is disabled and the “openid” scope is used. skip_verification (boolean): 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 (string|null): Whether to fetch the user profile from the userinfo endpoint, or to rely on the data returned in the id_token from the token_endpoint. Valid values are: auto or userinfo_endpoint. Defaults to auto, which uses the userinfo endpoint if openid is not included in scopes. Set to userinfo_endpoint to always use the userinfo endpoint. redirect_uri (string|null): An optional string, that if set will override the redirect_uri parameter sent in the requests to the authorization and token endpoints. Useful if you want to redirect the client to another endpoint as part of the OIDC login. Be aware that the client must then call Synapse’s OIDC callback URL ( /_synapse/client/oidc/callback) manually afterwards. Must be a valid URL including scheme and path. additional_authorization_parameters (object): String to string dictionary that will be passed as additional parameters to the authorization grant URL. passthrough_authorization_parameters (array): List of parameters that will be passed through from the redirect endpoint to the authorization grant URL. allow_existing_users (boolean): 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. enable_registration (boolean): Set to false to disable automatic registration of new users. This allows the OIDC SSO flow to be limited to sign in only, rather than automatically registering users that have a valid SSO login but do not have a pre-registered account. Defaults to true. user_mapping_provider (object): Configuration for how attributes returned from a OIDC provider are mapped onto a matrix user. 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. This setting has the following sub-options: module (string): The class name of a custom mapping module. Default is synapse.handlers.oidc.JinjaOidcMappingProvider. See OpenID Mapping Providers for information on implementing a custom mapping provider. config (object): 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_template: Jinja2 template for a unique identifier for the user. Defaults to {{ user.sub }}, which OpenID Connect compliant providers should provide. This replaces and overrides subject_claim. subject_claim: name of the claim containing a unique identifier for the user. Defaults to sub, which OpenID Connect compliant providers should provide. Deprecated in Synapse v1.75.0. picture_template: Jinja2 template for an url for the user’s profile picture. Defaults to {{ user.picture }}, which OpenID Connect compliant providers should provide and has to refer to a direct image file such as PNG, JPEG, or GIF image file. This replaces and overrides picture_claim. Currently only supported in monolithic (single-process) server configurations where the media repository runs within the Synapse process. picture_claim: name of the claim containing an url for the user’s profile picture. Defaults to “picture”, which OpenID Connect compliant providers should provide and has to refer to a direct image file such as PNG, JPEG, or GIF image file. Currently only supported in monolithic (single-process) server configurations where the media repository runs within the Synapse process. Deprecated in Synapse v1.75.0. 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 the documentation for the sso_auth_account_details.html template). This template can use the localpart_from_email filter. confirm_localpart: Whether to prompt the user to validate (or change) the generated localpart (see the documentation for the “sso_auth_account_details.html” template), instead of registering the account right away. 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. backchannel_logout_enabled (boolean): Set to true to process OIDC Back-Channel Logout notifications. Those notifications are expected to be received on /_synapse/client/oidc/backchannel_logout. Defaults to false. backchannel_logout_ignore_sub (boolean): By default, the OIDC Back-Channel Logout feature checks that the sub claim matches the subject claim received during login. This check can be disabled by setting this to true. Defaults to false. You might want to disable this if the subject_claim returned by the mapping provider is not sub.

Note that the patterns match against fully qualified IDs, e.g. against @alice:example.com, #room:example.com and !abcdefghijk:example.com instead of alice, room and abcedgghijk. Each rule is a YAML object containing four fields, each of which is an optional string. Changed in Synapse 1.126.0: The default was changed to deny publishing to the room list by default Defaults to null. Options for each entry include: user_id (string|null): Glob pattern that matches against the user publishing the room. alias (string|null): Glob pattern that matches against one of published room’s aliases. If the room has no aliases, the alias match fails unless alias is unspecified or *. If the room has exactly one alias, the alias match succeeds if the alias pattern matches that alias. If the room has two or more aliases, the alias match succeeds if the pattern matches at least one of the aliases. room_id (string|null): Glob pattern that matches against the room ID of the room being published. action (string): Either allow or deny.

It uses the (indentation-sensitive!) YAML\\nformat. The file contains further explanations. Here are some hints how to configure eturnal on your host machine\\nor when using e.g. Docker.\\nYou may also further deep dive into the reference documentation. eturnal runs out of the box with the default configuration. To enable TURN and\\nto integrate it with your homeserver, some aspects in eturnal’s default configuration file\\nmust be edited: Homeserver’s turn_shared_secret\\nand eturnal’s shared secret for authentication Both need to have the same value. Uncomment and adjust this line in eturnal’s\\nconfiguration file: secret: \\"long-and-cryptic\\" # Shared secret, CHANGE THIS. One way to generate a secret is with pwgen: pwgen -s 64 1 Public IP address If your TURN server is behind NAT, the NAT gateway must have an external,\\npublicly-reachable IP address. eturnal tries to autodetect the public IP address,\\nhowever, it may also be configured by uncommenting and adjusting this line, so eturnal advertises that address to connecting clients: relay_ipv4_addr: \\"203.0.113.4\\" # The server\'s public IPv4 address. If your NAT gateway is reachable over both IPv4 and IPv6, you may\\nconfigure eturnal to advertise each available address: relay_ipv4_addr: \\"203.0.113.4\\" # The server\'s public IPv4 address.\\nrelay_ipv6_addr: \\"2001:db8::4\\" # The server\'s public IPv6 address (optional). When advertising an external IPv6 address, ensure that the firewall and\\nnetwork settings of the system running your TURN server are configured to\\naccept IPv6 traffic, and that the TURN server is listening on the local\\nIPv6 address that is mapped by NAT to the external IPv6 address. Logging If eturnal was started by systemd, log files are written into the /var/log/eturnal directory by default. In order to log to the journal\\ninstead, the log_dir option can be set to stdout in the configuration file. Security considerations Consider your security settings. TURN lets users request a relay which will\\nconnect to arbitrary IP addresses and ports. The following configuration is\\nsuggested as a minimum starting point, see also the official documentation: ## Reject TURN relaying from/to the following addresses/networks:\\nblacklist: # This is the default blacklist. - \\"127.0.0.0/8\\" # IPv4 loopback. - \\"::1\\" # IPv6 loopback. - recommended # Expands to a number of networks recommended to be # blocked, but includes private networks. Those # would have to be \'whitelist\'ed if eturnal serves # local clients/peers within such networks. To whitelist IP addresses or specific (private) networks, you need to add a\\nwhitelist part into the configuration file, e.g.: whitelist: - \\"192.168.0.0/16\\" - \\"203.0.113.113\\" - \\"2001:db8::/64\\" The more specific, the better. TURNS (TURN via TLS/DTLS) Also consider supporting TLS/DTLS. To do this, adjust the following settings\\nin the eturnal.yml configuration file (TLS parts should not be commented anymore): listen: - ip: \\"::\\" port: 3478 transport: udp - ip: \\"::\\" port: 3478 transport: tcp - ip: \\"::\\" port: 5349 transport: tls ## TLS certificate/key files (must be readable by \'eturnal\' user!):\\ntls_crt_file: /etc/eturnal/tls/crt.pem\\ntls_key_file: /etc/eturnal/tls/key.pem In this case, replace the turn: schemes in homeserver’s turn_uris settings\\nwith turns:. More is described here. We recommend that you only try to set up TLS/DTLS once you have set up a\\nbasic installation and got it working. NB: If your TLS certificate was provided by Let’s Encrypt, TLS/DTLS will\\nnot work with any Matrix client that uses Chromium’s WebRTC library. This\\ncurrently includes Element Android & iOS; for more details, see their respective issues as well as the underlying WebRTC issue.\\nConsider using a ZeroSSL certificate for your TURN server as a working alternative. Firewall Ensure your firewall allows traffic into the TURN server on the ports\\nyou’ve configured it to listen on (By default: 3478 and 5349 for TURN\\ntraffic (remember to allow both TCP and UDP traffic), and ports 49152-65535\\nfor the UDP relay.)

Message retention policies exist at a room level,\\nfollow the semantics described in MSC1763,\\nand allow server and room admins to configure how long messages should\\nbe kept in a homeserver’s database before being purged from it. Please note that, as this feature isn’t part of the Matrix\\nspecification yet, the use of m.room.retention events for per-room\\nretention policies is to be considered as experimental. However, the use\\nof a default message retention policy is considered a stable feature\\nin Synapse. A message retention policy is mainly defined by its max_lifetime\\nparameter, which defines how long a message can be kept around after\\nit was sent to the room. If a room doesn’t have a message retention\\npolicy, and there’s no default one for a given server, then no message\\nsent in that room is ever purged on that server. MSC1763 also specifies semantics for a min_lifetime parameter which\\ndefines the amount of time after which an event can get purged (after\\nit was sent to the room), but Synapse doesn’t currently support it\\nbeyond registering it. Both max_lifetime and min_lifetime are optional parameters. Note that message retention policies don’t apply to state events. Once an event reaches its expiry date (defined as the time it was sent\\nplus the value for max_lifetime in the room), two things happen: Synapse stops serving the event to clients via any endpoint. The message gets picked up by the next purge job (see the “Purge jobs”\\nsection) and is removed from Synapse’s database. Since purge jobs don’t run continuously, this means that an event might\\nstay in a server’s database for longer than the value for max_lifetime\\nin the room would allow, though hidden from clients. Similarly, if a server (with support for message retention policies\\nenabled) receives from another server an event that should have been\\npurged according to its room’s policy, then the receiving server will\\nprocess and store that event until it’s picked up by the next purge job,\\nthough it will always hide it from clients. Synapse requires at least one message in each room, so it will never\\ndelete the last message in a room. It will, however, hide it from\\nclients.","breadcrumbs":"Configuration » Message Retention Policies » Message retention policies","id":"662","title":"Message retention policies"},"663":{"body":"Support for this feature can be enabled and configured by adding the retention option in the Synapse configuration file (see configuration manual).

If\\nno configuration for purge jobs is configured by the server admin,\\nSynapse will use a default configuration, which is described here in the configuration manual. Some server admins might want a finer control on when events are removed\\ndepending on an event’s room’s policy. This can be done by setting the purge_jobs sub-section in the retention section of the configuration\\nfile. An example of such configuration could be: purge_jobs: - longest_max_lifetime: 3d interval: 12h - shortest_max_lifetime: 3d longest_max_lifetime: 1w interval: 1d - shortest_max_lifetime: 1w interval: 2d In this example, we define three jobs: one that runs twice a day (every 12 hours) and purges events in rooms\\nwhich policy’s max_lifetime is lower or equal to 3 days. one that runs once a day and purges events in rooms which policy’s max_lifetime is between 3 days and a week. one that runs once every 2 days and purges events in rooms which\\npolicy’s max_lifetime is greater than a week. Note that this example is tailored to show different configurations and\\nfeatures slightly more jobs than is probably necessary (in practice, a\\nserver admin would probably consider it better to replace the two last\\njobs with one that runs once a day and handles rooms which\\npolicy’s max_lifetime is greater than 3 days). Keep in mind, when configuring these jobs, that a purge job can become\\nquite heavy on the server if it targets many rooms, therefore prefer\\nhaving jobs with a low interval that target a limited set of rooms. Also\\nmake sure to include a job with no minimum and one with no maximum to\\nmake sure your configuration handles every policy. As previously mentioned in this documentation, while a purge job that\\nruns e.g. every day means that an expired event might stay in the\\ndatabase for up to a day after its expiry, Synapse hides expired events\\nfrom clients as soon as they expire, so the event is not visible to\\nlocal users between its expiry date and the moment it gets purged from\\nthe server’s database.","breadcrumbs":"Configuration » Message Retention Policies » Purge jobs","id":"665","title":"Purge jobs"},"666":{"body":"Server admins can set limits on the values of max_lifetime to use when\\npurging old events in a room.

When installing with Debian packages, you might prefer to place files in /etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/ to override your configuration without editing\\nthe main configuration file at /etc/matrix-synapse/homeserver.yaml.\\nBy doing that, you won’t be asked if you want to replace your configuration\\nfile when you upgrade the Debian package to a later version. Downstream Debian packages Andrej Shadura maintains a matrix-synapse package in\\nthe Debian repositories.\\nFor forky (14) and sid (rolling release), it can be installed simply with: sudo apt install matrix-synapse The downstream Debian matrix-synapse package is not available for trixie (13) and older.

The main process is somewhat special in this respect: it does not normally\\nneed its own configuration file and can take all of its configuration from the\\nshared configuration file.","breadcrumbs":"Configuration » Workers » Setting up workers","id":"752","title":"Setting up workers"},"753":{"body":"Normally, only a few changes are needed to make an existing configuration\\nfile suitable for use with workers: First, you need to enable an “HTTP replication listener”\\nfor the main process Secondly, you need to enable redis-based replication You will need to add an instance_map\\nwith the main process defined, as well as the relevant connection information from\\nit’s HTTP replication listener (defined in step 1 above).

Note that a HTTP listener\\nwith client and federation resources must be configured in the worker_listeners\\noption in the worker config. Load balancing It is possible to run multiple instances of this worker app, with incoming requests\\nbeing load-balanced between them by the reverse-proxy. However, different endpoints\\nhave different characteristics and so admins\\nmay wish to run multiple groups of workers handling different endpoints so that\\nload balancing can be done in different ways. For /sync and /initialSync requests it will be more efficient if all\\nrequests from a particular user are routed to a single instance. This can\\nbe done in reverse proxy by extracting username part from the users access token. Admins may additionally wish to separate out /sync\\nrequests that have a since query parameter from those that don’t (and /initialSync), as requests that don’t are known as “initial sync” that happens\\nwhen a user logs in on a new device and can be very resource intensive, so\\nisolating these requests will stop them from interfering with other users ongoing\\nsyncs. Example nginx configuration snippet that handles the cases above. This is just an\\nexample and probably requires some changes according to your particular setup: # Choose sync worker based on the existence of \\"since\\" query parameter\\nmap $arg_since $sync { default synapse_sync; \'\' synapse_initial_sync;\\n} # Extract username from access token passed as URL parameter\\nmap $arg_access_token $accesstoken_from_urlparam { # Defaults to just passing back the whole accesstoken default $arg_access_token; # Try to extract username part from accesstoken URL parameter \\"~syt_(?.*?)_.*\\" $username;\\n} # Extract username from access token passed as authorization header\\nmap $http_authorization $mxid_localpart { # Defaults to just passing back the whole accesstoken default $http_authorization; # Try to extract username part from accesstoken header \\"~Bearer syt_(?.*?)_.*\\" $username; # if no authorization-header exist, try mapper for URL parameter \\"access_token\\" \\"\\" $accesstoken_from_urlparam;\\n} upstream synapse_initial_sync { # Use the username mapper result for hash key hash $mxid_localpart consistent; server 127.0.0.1:8016; server 127.0.0.1:8036;\\n} upstream synapse_sync { # Use the username mapper result for hash key hash $mxid_localpart consistent; server 127.0.0.1:8013; server 127.0.0.1:8037; server 127.0.0.1:8038; server 127.0.0.1:8039;\\n} # Sync initial/normal\\nlocation ~ ^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3)/sync$ { proxy_pass http://$sync;\\n} # Normal sync\\nlocation ~ ^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|v3)/events$ { proxy_pass http://synapse_sync;\\n} # Initial_sync\\nlocation ~ ^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|v3)/initialSync$ { proxy_pass http://synapse_initial_sync;\\n}\\nlocation ~ ^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|v3)/rooms/[^/]+/initialSync$ { proxy_pass http://synapse_initial_sync;\\n} Federation and client requests can be balanced via simple round robin. The inbound federation transaction request ^/_matrix/federation/v1/send/\\nshould be balanced by source IP so that transactions from the same remote server\\ngo to the same process. Registration/login requests can be handled separately purely to help ensure that\\nunexpected load doesn’t affect new logins and sign ups. Finally, event sending requests can be balanced by the room ID in the URI (or\\nthe full URI, or even just round robin), the room ID is the path component after /rooms/. If there is a large bridge connected that is sending or may send lots\\nof events, then a dedicated set of workers can be provisioned to limit the\\neffects of bursts of events from that bridge on events sent by normal users. Stream writers Additionally, the writing of specific streams (such as events) can be moved off\\nof the main process to a particular worker. To enable this, the worker must have: An HTTP replication listener configured, Have a worker_name\\nand be listed in the instance_map\\nconfig. Have the main process declared on the instance_map as well. Note: The same worker can handle multiple streams, but unless otherwise documented,\\neach stream can only have a single writer. For example, to move event persistence off to a dedicated worker, the shared\\nconfiguration would include: instance_map: main: host: localhost port: 8030 event_persister1: host: localhost port: 8034 stream_writers: events: event_persister1 An example for a stream writer instance: worker_app: synapse.app.generic_worker\\nworker_name: event_persister1 worker_listeners: - type: http port: 8034 resources: - names: [replication] # Enable listener if this stream writer handles endpoints for the `typing` or # `to_device` streams. Uses a different port to the `replication` listener to # avoid exposing the `replication` listener publicly. # #- type: http # port: 8035 # x_forwarded: true # resources: # - names: [client] worker_log_config: /etc/matrix-synapse/event-persister-log.yaml Some of the streams have associated endpoints which, for maximum efficiency, should\\nbe routed to the workers handling that stream. See below for the currently supported\\nstreams and the endpoints associated with them: The events stream The events stream experimentally supports having multiple writer workers, where load\\nis sharded between them by room ID. Each writer is called an event persister. They are\\nresponsible for receiving new events, linking them to those already in the room DAG, persisting them to the DB, and finally updating the events stream. Because load is sharded in this way, you must restart all worker instances when\\nadding or removing event persisters. An event_persister should not be mistaken for an event_creator.\\nAn event_creator listens for requests from clients to create new events and does\\nso. It will then pass those events over HTTP replication to any configured event\\npersisters (or the main process if none are configured). Note that event_creators and event_persisters are implemented using the same synapse.app.generic_worker. An example stream_writers\\nconfiguration with multiple writers: stream_writers: events: - event_persister1 - event_persister2 The typing stream The following endpoints should be routed directly to the worker configured as\\nthe stream writer for the typing stream: ^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|v3|unstable)/rooms/.*/typing The to_device stream The following endpoints should be routed directly to the worker configured as\\nthe stream writer for the to_device stream: ^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3|unstable)/sendToDevice/ The account_data stream The following endpoints should be routed directly to the worker configured as\\nthe stream writer for the account_data stream: ^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3|unstable)/.*/tags\\n^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3|unstable)/.*/account_data The receipts stream The receipts stream supports multiple writers.

The following endpoints\\nmust be routed directly to one of the workers configured as stream writer for the quarantined_media_changes stream (which must also be able to run the media\\nrepository, as these endpoints are only registered on media-capable workers): ^/_synapse/admin/v1/quarantine_media/.*$\\n^/_synapse/admin/v1/room/.*/media/quarantine$\\n^/_synapse/admin/v1/user/.*/media/quarantine$\\n^/_synapse/admin/v1/media/quarantine/.*$\\n^/_synapse/admin/v1/media/unquarantine/.*$ Restrict outbound federation traffic to a specific set of workers The outbound_federation_restricted_to\\nconfiguration is useful to make sure outbound federation traffic only goes through a\\nspecified subset of workers. This allows you to set more strict access controls (like a\\nfirewall) for all workers and only allow the federation_sender’s to contact the\\noutside world. instance_map: main: host: localhost port: 8030 federation_sender1: host: localhost port: 8034 outbound_federation_restricted_to: - federation_sender1 worker_replication_secret: \\"secret_secret\\" Background tasks There is also support for moving background tasks to a separate\\nworker. Background tasks are run periodically or started via replication. Exactly\\nwhich tasks are configured to run depends on your Synapse configuration (e.g. if\\nstats is enabled). This worker doesn’t handle any REST endpoints itself. To enable this, the worker must have a unique worker_name\\nand can be configured to run background tasks. For example, to move background tasks\\nto a dedicated worker, the shared configuration would include: run_background_tasks_on: background_worker You might also wish to investigate the update_user_directory_from_worker and media_instance_running_background_jobs settings. An example for a dedicated background worker instance: worker_app: synapse.app.generic_worker\\nworker_name: background_worker worker_log_config: /etc/matrix-synapse/background-worker-log.yaml Updating the User Directory You can designate one generic worker to update the user directory.

User directory updates allow REST endpoints matching the following regular\\nexpressions to work: ^/_matrix/client/(r0|v3|unstable)/user_directory/search$ The above endpoints can be routed to any worker, though you may choose to route\\nit to the chosen user directory worker.

When following this route please make sure that the Platform-specific prerequisites are already installed. System requirements: POSIX-compliant system (tested on Linux & OS X) Python 3.10 or later, up to Python 3.13. At least 1GB of free RAM if you want to join large public rooms like #matrix:matrix.org If building on an uncommon architecture for which pre-built wheels are\\nunavailable, you will need to have a recent Rust compiler installed. The easiest\\nway of installing the latest version is to use rustup. To install the Synapse homeserver run: mkdir -p ~/synapse\\nvirtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env\\nsource ~/synapse/env/bin/activate\\npip install --upgrade pip\\npip install --upgrade setuptools\\npip install matrix-synapse If you want to use a logging configuration that references systemd.journal.JournalHandler (for example contrib/systemd/log_config.yaml),\\nyou must install systemd-python separately in the same environment.\\nSynapse no longer provides a matrix-synapse[systemd] extra. This will download Synapse from PyPI\\nand install it, along with the python libraries it uses, into a virtual environment\\nunder ~/synapse/env. Feel free to pick a different directory if you\\nprefer. This Synapse installation can then be later upgraded by using pip again with the\\nupdate flag: source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate\\npip install -U matrix-synapse Before you can start Synapse, you will need to generate a configuration\\nfile. To do this, run (in your virtualenv, as before): cd ~/synapse\\npython -m synapse.app.homeserver \\\\ --server-name my.domain.name \\\\ --config-path homeserver.yaml \\\\ --generate-config \\\\ --report-stats=[yes|no] … substituting an appropriate value for --server-name and choosing whether\\nor not to report usage statistics (hostname, Synapse version, uptime, total\\nusers, etc.) to the developers via the --report-stats argument. This command will generate you a config file that you can then customise, but it will\\nalso generate a set of keys for you. These keys will allow your homeserver to\\nidentify itself to other homeservers, so don’t lose or delete them. It would be\\nwise to back them up somewhere safe. (If, for whatever reason, you do need to\\nchange your homeserver’s keys, you may find that other homeservers have the\\nold key cached. If you update the signing key, you should change the name of the\\nkey in the .signing.key file (the second word) to something\\ndifferent. See the spec for more information on key management). To actually run your new homeserver, pick a working directory for Synapse to\\nrun (e.g. ~/synapse), and: cd ~/synapse\\nsource env/bin/activate\\nsynctl start Platform-specific prerequisites Synapse is written in Python but some of the libraries it uses are written in\\nC. So before we can install Synapse itself we need a working C compiler and the\\nheader files for Python C extensions.

Defaults to 0. limit - Maximum amount of rooms to return. Defaults to 100. order_by - The method in which to sort the returned list of rooms. Valid values are: alphabetical - Same as name. This is deprecated. size - Same as joined_members. This is deprecated. name - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by room name. This is the default. canonical_alias - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by main alias address of the room. joined_members - Rooms are ordered by the number of members. Largest to smallest. joined_local_members - Rooms are ordered by the number of local members. Largest to smallest. version - Rooms are ordered by room version. Largest to smallest. creator - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by creator of the room. encryption - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by the end-to-end encryption algorithm. federatable - Rooms are ordered by whether the room is federatable. public - Rooms are ordered by visibility in room list. join_rules - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by join rules of the room. guest_access - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by guest access option of the room. history_visibility - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by visibility of history of the room. state_events - Rooms are ordered by number of state events.

If true, only public rooms are queried. If false, public rooms are excluded from\\nthe query. When the flag is absent (the default), both public and non-public rooms are included in the search results. empty_rooms - Optional flag to filter empty rooms. A room is empty if joined_members is zero. If true, only empty rooms are queried. If false, empty rooms are excluded from\\nthe query. When the flag is absent (the default), both empty and non-empty rooms are included in the search results. Defaults to no filtering. Response The following fields are possible in the JSON response body: rooms - An array of objects, each containing information about a room.

Is null if encryption is not active. federatable - Whether users on other servers can join this room. public - Whether the room is visible in room directory. join_rules - The type of rules used for users wishing to join this room. One of: [“public”, “knock”, “invite”, “private”]. guest_access - Whether guests can join the room. One of: [“can_join”, “forbidden”]. history_visibility - Who can see the room history. One of: [“invited”, “joined”, “shared”, “world_readable”]. state_events - Total number of state_events of a room. Complexity of the room. room_type - The type of the room taken from the room’s creation event; for example “m.space” if the room is a space.

In the database, run DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = \'!example:example.org\'; For caution: it’s recommended to run this in a transaction: BEGIN; DELETE ...;, verify you got 1 result, then COMMIT;.
