# Contributing code to Synapse
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
|
||||
projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), 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
|
||||
[LICENSE](LICENSE)).
|
||||
|
||||
## How to contribute
|
||||
|
||||
The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
|
||||
project on github, and then [create a pull request](
|
||||
https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
|
||||
changes into our repo.
|
||||
|
||||
Some other points to follow:
|
||||
|
||||
* Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
|
||||
|
||||
* Please follow the [code style requirements](#code-style).
|
||||
|
||||
* Please include a [changelog entry](#changelog) with each PR.
|
||||
|
||||
* Please [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution.
|
||||
|
||||
* Please keep an eye on the pull request for feedback from the [continuous
|
||||
integration system](#continuous-integration-and-testing) and try to fix any
|
||||
errors that come up.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you need to [update your PR](#updating-your-pull-request), just add new
|
||||
commits to your branch rather than rebasing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Code style
|
||||
|
||||
Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
|
||||
it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
|
||||
file](docs/code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
|
||||
|
||||
Many of the conventions are enforced by scripts which are run as part of the
|
||||
[continuous integration system](#continuous-integration-and-testing). To help
|
||||
check if you have followed the code style, you can run `scripts-dev/lint.sh`
|
||||
locally. You'll need python 3.6 or later, and to install a number of tools:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Install the dependencies
|
||||
pip install -U black flake8 flake8-comprehensions isort
|
||||
|
||||
# Run the linter script
|
||||
./scripts-dev/lint.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note that the script does not just test/check, but also reformats code, so you
|
||||
may wish to ensure any new code is committed first**.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, this script checks all files and can take some time; if you alter
|
||||
only certain files, you might wish to specify paths as arguments to reduce the
|
||||
run-time:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Before pushing new changes, ensure they don't produce linting errors. Commit any
|
||||
files that were corrected.
|
||||
|
||||
Please ensure your changes match the cosmetic style of the existing project,
|
||||
and **never** mix cosmetic and functional changes in the same commit, as it
|
||||
makes it horribly hard to review otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changelog
|
||||
|
||||
All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
|
||||
entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
|
||||
|
||||
To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
|
||||
in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* `feature`
|
||||
* `bugfix`
|
||||
* `docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
|
||||
* `doc` (for updates to the documentation)
|
||||
* `removal` (also used for deprecations)
|
||||
* `misc` (for internal-only changes)
|
||||
|
||||
This file will become part of our [changelog](
|
||||
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
|
||||
contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
|
||||
|
||||
For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
|
||||
`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
|
||||
|
||||
> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
|
||||
> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
|
||||
|
||||
If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
|
||||
then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
|
||||
merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
|
||||
release.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
|
||||
|
||||
Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
|
||||
`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
|
||||
chicken-and-egg problem.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two options for solving this:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
|
||||
add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
|
||||
request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Look at the [list of all
|
||||
issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
|
||||
highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
|
||||
your number.
|
||||
|
||||
[This
|
||||
script](https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh)
|
||||
might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.
|
||||
|
||||
Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's *really* helpful for us when we come
|
||||
to put together a release!
|
||||
|
||||
### Debian changelog
|
||||
|
||||
Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in `debian`) are an
|
||||
exception to the rule that all changes require a `changelog.d` file.
|
||||
|
||||
In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
|
||||
next release. For this, run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
dch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
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.)
|
||||
|
||||
If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
|
||||
directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
|
||||
debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
|
||||
separate pull requests.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Sign off
|
||||
|
||||
In order to have a concrete record that your contribution is intentional
|
||||
and you agree to license it under the same terms as the project's license, we've adopted the
|
||||
same lightweight approach that the Linux Kernel
|
||||
[submitting patches process](
|
||||
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin>),
|
||||
[Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and many other
|
||||
projects use: the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin:
|
||||
http://developercertificate.org/). This is a simple declaration that you wrote
|
||||
the contribution or otherwise have the right to contribute it to Matrix:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Developer Certificate of Origin
|
||||
Version 1.1
|
||||
|
||||
Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
|
||||
660 York Street, Suite 102,
|
||||
San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
|
||||
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
|
||||
|
||||
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
|
||||
|
||||
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
|
||||
have the right to submit it under the open source license
|
||||
indicated in the file; or
|
||||
|
||||
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
|
||||
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
|
||||
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
|
||||
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
|
||||
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
|
||||
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
|
||||
in the file; or
|
||||
|
||||
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
|
||||
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
|
||||
it.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
|
||||
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
|
||||
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
|
||||
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
|
||||
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you agree to this for your contribution, then all that's needed is to
|
||||
include the line in your commit or pull request comment:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.example.org>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We accept contributions under a legally identifiable name, such as
|
||||
your name on government documentation or common-law names (names
|
||||
claimed by legitimate usage or repute). Unfortunately, we cannot
|
||||
accept anonymous contributions at this time.
|
||||
|
||||
Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the `-s`
|
||||
flag to `git commit`, which uses the name and email set in your
|
||||
`user.name` and `user.email` git configs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Continuous integration and testing
|
||||
|
||||
[Buildkite](https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/synapse) will automatically
|
||||
run a series of checks and tests against any PR which is opened against the
|
||||
project; if your change breaks the build, this will be shown in GitHub, with
|
||||
links to the build results. If your build fails, please try to fix the errors
|
||||
and update your branch.
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests in a local development environment, you can use:
|
||||
|
||||
- ``tox -e py35`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``)
|
||||
for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.5.
|
||||
- ``tox -e py36`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.6.
|
||||
- ``tox -e py36-postgres`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.6
|
||||
(requires a running local PostgreSQL with access to create databases).
|
||||
- ``./test_postgresql.sh`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.5
|
||||
(requires Docker). Entirely self-contained, recommended if you don't want to
|
||||
set up PostgreSQL yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
Docker images are available for running the integration tests (SyTest) locally,
|
||||
see the [documentation in the SyTest repo](
|
||||
https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md) for more
|
||||
information.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating your pull request
|
||||
|
||||
If you decide to make changes to your pull request - perhaps to address issues
|
||||
raised in a review, or to fix problems highlighted by [continuous
|
||||
integration](#continuous-integration-and-testing) - just add new commits to your
|
||||
branch, and push to GitHub. The pull request will automatically be updated.
|
||||
|
||||
Please **avoid** rebasing your branch, especially once the PR has been
|
||||
reviewed: doing so makes it very difficult for a reviewer to see what has
|
||||
changed since a previous review.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes for maintainers on merging PRs etc
|
||||
|
||||
There are some notes for those with commit access to the project on how we
|
||||
manage git [here](docs/dev/git.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! Matrix is a very open and collaborative project as you might expect
|
||||
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!

Contributing code to Matrix
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone is welcome to contribute code to Matrix
|
||||
(https://github.com/matrix-org), 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 LICENSE).
|
||||
|
||||
How to contribute
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes to Matrix is to fork the
|
||||
relevant project on github, and then create a pull request to ask us to pull
|
||||
your changes into our repo
|
||||
(https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/)
|
||||
|
||||
**The single biggest thing you need to know is: please base your changes on
|
||||
the develop branch - /not/ master.**
|
||||
|
||||
We use the master branch to track the most recent release, so that folks who
|
||||
blindly clone the repo and automatically check out master get something that
|
||||
works. Develop is the unstable branch where all the development actually
|
||||
happens: the workflow is that contributors should fork the develop branch to
|
||||
make a 'feature' branch for a particular contribution, and then make a pull
|
||||
request to merge this back into the matrix.org 'official' develop branch. We
|
||||
use github's pull request workflow to review the contribution, and either ask
|
||||
you to make any refinements needed or merge it and make them ourselves. The
|
||||
changes will then land on master when we next do a release.
|
||||
|
||||
We use `Buildkite <https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/synapse>`_ for
|
||||
continuous integration. Buildkite builds need to be authorised by a
|
||||
maintainer. If your change breaks the build, this will be shown in GitHub, so
|
||||
please keep an eye on the pull request for feedback.
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests in a local development environment, you can use:
|
||||
|
||||
- ``tox -e py35`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``)
|
||||
for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.5.
|
||||
- ``tox -e py36`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.6.
|
||||
- ``tox -e py36-postgres`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.6
|
||||
(requires a running local PostgreSQL with access to create databases).
|
||||
- ``./test_postgresql.sh`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.5
|
||||
(requires Docker). Entirely self-contained, recommended if you don't want to
|
||||
set up PostgreSQL yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
Docker images are available for running the integration tests (SyTest) locally,
|
||||
see the `documentation in the SyTest repo
|
||||
<https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md>`_ for more
|
||||
information.
|
||||
|
||||
Code style
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
All Matrix projects have a well-defined code-style - and sometimes we've even
|
||||
got as far as documenting it... For instance, synapse's code style doc lives
|
||||
at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/code_style.md.
|
||||
|
||||
Please ensure your changes match the cosmetic style of the existing project,
|
||||
and **never** mix cosmetic and functional changes in the same commit, as it
|
||||
makes it horribly hard to review otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
Changelog
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
|
||||
entry. These are managed by Towncrier
|
||||
(https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
|
||||
|
||||
To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the ``changelog.d`` file named
|
||||
in the format of ``PRnumber.type``. The type can be one of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``feature``.
|
||||
* ``bugfix``.
|
||||
* ``docker`` (for updates to the Docker image).
|
||||
* ``doc`` (for updates to the documentation).
|
||||
* ``removal`` (also used for deprecations).
|
||||
* ``misc`` (for internal-only changes).
|
||||
|
||||
The content of the file is your changelog entry, which should be a short
|
||||
description of your change in the same style as the rest of our `changelog
|
||||
<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md>`_. The file can
|
||||
contain Markdown formatting, and should end with a full stop ('.') for
|
||||
consistency.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
|
||||
contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
|
||||
|
||||
For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
|
||||
``changelog.d/1234.bugfix``, and contain content like "The security levels of
|
||||
Florbs are now validated when recieved over federation. Contributed by Jane
|
||||
Matrix.".
|
||||
|
||||
Debian changelog
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in ``debian``) are an
|
||||
exception.
|
||||
|
||||
In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
|
||||
next release. For this, run the following command::
|
||||
|
||||
dch
|
||||
|
||||
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.)
|
||||
|
||||
If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
|
||||
directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
|
||||
debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
|
||||
separate pull requests.)
|
||||
|
||||
Attribution
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone who contributes anything to Matrix is welcome to be listed in the
|
||||
AUTHORS.rst file for the project in question. Please feel free to include a
|
||||
change to AUTHORS.rst in your pull request to list yourself and a short
|
||||
description of the area(s) you've worked on. Also, we sometimes have swag to
|
||||
give away to contributors - if you feel that Matrix-branded apparel is missing
|
||||
from your life, please mail us your shipping address to matrix at matrix.org and
|
||||
we'll try to fix it :)

Installing prerequisites on OpenBSD:
|
||||
A port of Synapse is available under `net/synapse`. The filesystem
|
||||
underlying the homeserver directory (defaults to `/var/synapse`) has to be
|
||||
mounted with `wxallowed` (cf. `mount(8)`), so creating a separate filesystem
|
||||
and mounting it to `/var/synapse` should be taken into consideration.
|
||||
|
||||
To be able to build Synapse's dependency on python the `WRKOBJDIR`
|
||||
(cf. `bsd.port.mk(5)`) for building python, too, needs to be on a filesystem
|
||||
mounted with `wxallowed` (cf. `mount(8)`).
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a `WRKOBJDIR` for building python under `/usr/local` (which on a
|
||||
default OpenBSD installation is mounted with `wxallowed`):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
doas pkg_add python libffi py-pip py-setuptools sqlite3 py-virtualenv \
|
||||
libxslt jpeg
|
||||
doas mkdir /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There is currently no port for OpenBSD. Additionally, OpenBSD's security
|
||||
settings require a slightly more difficult installation process.
|
||||
Assuming `PORTS_PRIVSEP=Yes` (cf. `bsd.port.mk(5)`) and `SUDO=doas` are
|
||||
configured in `/etc/mk.conf`:
|
||||
|
||||
XXX: I suspect this is out of date.
|
||||
```
|
||||
doas chown _pbuild:_pbuild /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a new directory in `/usr/local` called `_synapse`. Also, create a
|
||||
new user called `_synapse` and set that directory as the new user's home.
|
||||
This is required because, by default, OpenBSD only allows binaries which need
|
||||
write and execute permissions on the same memory space to be run from
|
||||
`/usr/local`.
|
||||
2. `su` to the new `_synapse` user and change to their home directory.
|
||||
3. Create a new virtualenv: `virtualenv -p python2.7 ~/.synapse`
|
||||
4. Source the virtualenv configuration located at
|
||||
`/usr/local/_synapse/.synapse/bin/activate`. This is done in `ksh` by
|
||||
using the `.` command, rather than `bash`'s `source`.
|
||||
5. Optionally, use `pip` to install `lxml`, which Synapse needs to parse
|
||||
webpages for their titles.
|
||||
6. Use `pip` to install this repository: `pip install matrix-synapse`
|
||||
7. Optionally, change `_synapse`'s shell to `/bin/false` to reduce the
|
||||
chance of a compromised Synapse server being used to take over your box.
|
||||
Setting the `WRKOBJDIR` for building python:
|
||||
|
||||
After this, you may proceed with the rest of the install directions.
|
||||
```
|
||||
echo WRKOBJDIR_lang/python/3.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed \\nWRKOBJDIR_lang/python/2.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed >> /etc/mk.conf

### Troubleshooting Installation
|
||||
|
||||
XXX a bunch of this is no longer relevant.
|
||||
|
||||
Synapse requires pip 8 or later, so if your OS provides too old a version you
|
||||
may need to manually upgrade it::
|
||||
|
||||
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
|
||||
|
||||
Installing may fail with `Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pymacaroons-pynacl (from matrix-synapse==0.12.0)`.
|
||||
You can fix this by manually upgrading pip and virtualenv::
|
||||
|
||||
sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv
|
||||
|
||||
You can next rerun `virtualenv -p python3 synapse` to update the virtual env.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing may fail during installing virtualenv with `InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.`
|
||||
You can fix this by manually installing ndg-httpsclient::
|
||||
|
||||
pip install --upgrade ndg-httpsclient
|
||||
|
||||
Installing may fail with `mock requires setuptools>=17.1. Aborting installation`.
|
||||
You can fix this by upgrading setuptools::
|
||||
|
||||
pip install --upgrade setuptools
|
||||
|
||||
If pip crashes mid-installation for reason (e.g. lost terminal), pip may
|
||||
refuse to run until you remove the temporary installation directory it
|
||||
created. To reset the installation::
|
||||
|
||||
rm -rf /tmp/pip_install_matrix
|
||||
|
||||
pip seems to leak *lots* 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.::

||||

pip install twisted

Rolling back to older versions
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, you will need to undo any changes made during the upgrade process,
|
||||
for example:
|
||||
|
||||
* pip:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
source env/bin/activate
|
||||
# replace `1.3.0` accordingly:
|
||||
pip install matrix-synapse==1.3.0
|
||||
|
||||
* Debian:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: 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
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading to v1.14.0
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
This version includes a database update which is run as part of the upgrade,
|
||||
and which may take a couple of minutes in the case of a large server. Synapse
|
||||
will not respond to HTTP requests while this update is taking place.
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading to v1.13.0
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
Incorrect database migration in old synapse versions
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
This will *not* be a problem for Synapse installations which were:
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
|
||||
If completeness of the room directory is a concern, installations which are
|
||||
affected can be repaired as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run the following sql from a `psql` or `sqlite3` console:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sql
|
||||
|
||||
INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES
|
||||
('populate_stats_process_rooms', '{}', 'current_state_events_membership');
|
||||
|
||||
INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES
|
||||
('populate_stats_process_users', '{}', 'populate_stats_process_rooms');
|
||||
|
||||
2. Restart synapse.
|
||||
|
||||
New Single Sign-on HTML Templates
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
New templates (``sso_auth_confirm.html``, ``sso_auth_success.html``, and
|
||||
``sso_account_deactivated.html``) were added to Synapse. If your Synapse is
|
||||
configured to use SSO and a custom ``sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir``
|
||||
configuration then these templates will need to be copied from
|
||||
`synapse/res/templates <synapse/res/templates>`_ into that directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Synapse SSO Plugins Method Deprecation
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Plugins using the ``complete_sso_login`` method of
|
||||
``synapse.module_api.ModuleApi`` should update to using the async/await
|
||||
version ``complete_sso_login_async`` which includes additional checks. The
|
||||
non-async version is considered deprecated.
|
||||
|
||||
Rolling back to v1.12.4 after a failed upgrade
|
||||
----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Stop the server
|
||||
2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sql
|
||||
|
||||
UPDATE schema_version SET version = 57;
|
||||
|
||||
3. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
|
||||
in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading to v1.12.0
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
This is only likely to be a problem in the case of a server which is
|
||||
participating in many rooms.
|
||||
|
||||
0. 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.
|
||||
|
||||
1. As an initial check to see if you will be affected, you can try running the
|
||||
following query from the `psql` or `sqlite3` console. It is safe to run it
|
||||
while Synapse is still running.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: 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;
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
If you would prefer to reduce the downtime, continue with the steps below.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The easiest workaround for this issue is to manually
|
||||
create a new index before upgrading. On PostgreSQL, his can be done as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sql
|
||||
|
||||
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index
|
||||
ON state_events(room_id) WHERE type = 'm.room.create';
|
||||
|
||||
The above query may take some time, but is also safe to run while Synapse is
|
||||
running.
|
||||
|
||||
We assume that no SQLite users have databases large enough to be
|
||||
affected. If you *are* affected, you can run a similar query, omitting the
|
||||
``CONCURRENTLY`` keyword. Note however that this operation may in itself cause
|
||||
Synapse to stop running for some time. Synapse admins are reminded that
|
||||
`SQLite is not recommended for use outside a test
|
||||
environment <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/README.rst#using-postgresql>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Once the index has been created, the ``SELECT`` query in step 1 above should
|
||||
complete quickly. It is therefore safe to upgrade to Synapse 1.12.0.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Once Synapse 1.12.0 has successfully started and is responding to HTTP
|
||||
requests, the temporary index can be removed:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sql
|
||||
|
||||
DROP INDEX tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index;
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading to v1.10.0
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
Synapse will now log a warning on start up if used with a PostgreSQL database
|
||||
that has a non-recommended locale set.
|
||||
|
||||
See `docs/postgres.md <docs/postgres.md>`_ for details.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading to v1.8.0
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Specifying a ``log_file`` config option will now cause Synapse to refuse to
|
||||
start, and should be replaced by with the ``log_config`` option. Support for
|
||||
the ``log_file`` option was removed in v1.3.0 and has since had no effect.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading to v1.7.0
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
In an attempt to configure Synapse in a privacy preserving way, the default
|
||||
behaviours of ``allow_public_rooms_without_auth`` and
|
||||
``allow_public_rooms_over_federation`` 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.
|
||||
|
||||
If your installation does not explicitly set these settings one way or the other
|
||||
and you want either setting to be ``true`` then it will necessary to update
|
||||
your homeserver configuration file accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
<https://matrix.org/blog/2019/11/09/avoiding-unwelcome-visitors-on-private-matrix-servers>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading to v1.5.0
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
This release includes a database migration which may take several minutes to
|
||||
complete if there are a large number (more than a million or so) of entries in
|
||||
the ``devices`` table. This is only likely to a be a problem on very large
|
||||
installations.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading to v1.4.0
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Config options
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
New custom templates
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
**Note: Registration by email address or phone number will not work in this release unless
|
||||
some config options are changed from their defaults.**
|
||||
If you have configured a custom template directory with the
|
||||
``email.template_dir`` option, be aware that there are new templates regarding
|
||||
registration and threepid management (see below) that must be included.
|
||||
|
||||
This is due to Synapse v1.4.0 now defaulting to sending registration and password reset tokens
|
||||
itself. This is for security reasons as well as putting less reliance on identity servers.
|
||||
However, currently Synapse only supports sending emails, and does not have support for
|
||||
phone-based password reset or account registration. If Synapse is configured to handle these on
|
||||
its own, phone-based password resets and registration will be disabled. For Synapse to send
|
||||
emails, the ``email`` block of the config must be filled out. If not, then password resets and
|
||||
registration via email will be disabled entirely.
|
||||
* ``registration.html`` and ``registration.txt``
|
||||
* ``registration_success.html`` and ``registration_failure.html``
|
||||
* ``add_threepid.html`` and ``add_threepid.txt``
|
||||
* ``add_threepid_failure.html`` and ``add_threepid_success.html``
|
||||
|
||||
This release also deprecates the ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` option and
|
||||
replaces it with the ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary. This option defines whether the
|
||||
homeserver should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
|
||||
<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending password reset or
|
||||
registration messages via email and SMS.
|
||||
|
||||
If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is set to ``true``, and
|
||||
``account_threepid_delegates.email`` is not set, then the first entry in
|
||||
``trusted_third_party_id_servers`` will be used as the account threepid delegate 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 ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets``
|
||||
is ``true`` and no trusted identity server domains are configured, Synapse will throw an error.
|
||||
|
||||
If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is ``false`` or absent and a threepid
|
||||
type in ``account_threepid_delegates`` is not set to a domain, then Synapse will attempt to
|
||||
send password reset and registration messages for that type.
|
||||
|
||||
Email templates
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you have configured a custom template directory with the ``email.template_dir`` option, be
|
||||
aware that there are new templates regarding registration. ``registration.html`` and
|
||||
``registration.txt`` have been added and contain the content that is sent to a client upon
|
||||
registering via an email address.
|
||||
|
||||
``registration_success.html`` and ``registration_failure.html`` are also new HTML templates
|
||||
that will be shown to the user when they click the link in their registration emai , either
|
||||
showing them a success or failure page (assuming a redirect URL is not configured).
|
||||
|
||||
Synapse will expect these files to exist inside the configured template directory. To view the
|
||||
default templates, see `synapse/res/templates
|
||||
Synapse will expect these files to exist inside the configured template
|
||||
directory, and **will fail to start** if they are absent.
|
||||
To view the default templates, see `synapse/res/templates
|
||||
<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/synapse/res/templates>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
3pid verification changes
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
**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.**
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible for a user to associate an email address or phone number
|
||||
with their account, for a number of reasons:
|
||||
|
||||
* for use when logging in, as an alternative to the user id.
|
||||
* in the case of email, as an alternative contact to help with account recovery.
|
||||
* in the case of email, to receive notifications of missed messages.
|
||||
|
||||
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.)
|
||||
|
||||
Previous versions of Synapse delegated the task of 3pid verification to an
|
||||
identity server by default. In most cases this server is ``vector.im`` or
|
||||
``matrix.org``.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
In the medium term, the ``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Once delegated 3pid verification support has been disabled in the ``vector.im`` and
|
||||
``matrix.org`` 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 ``vector.im`` and
|
||||
``matrix.org`` instances).
|
||||
|
||||
Email
|
||||
~~~~~
|
||||
Following upgrade, to continue verifying email (e.g. as part of the
|
||||
registration process), admins can either:-
|
||||
|
||||
* Configure Synapse to use an email server.
|
||||
* Run or choose an identity server which allows delegated email verification
|
||||
and delegate to it.
|
||||
|
||||
Configure SMTP in Synapse
|
||||
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
||||
|
||||
To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
|
||||
headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host, smtp_port``
|
||||
and ``notif_from`` fields filled out.
|
||||
|
||||
You may also need to set ``smtp_user``, ``smtp_pass``, and
|
||||
``require_transport_security``.
|
||||
|
||||
See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_ for more details
|
||||
on these settings.
|
||||
|
||||
Delegate email to an identity server
|
||||
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
To this end, we will continue to support email verification delegation via the
|
||||
``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` identity servers for two months. Support for
|
||||
delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
|
||||
should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
|
||||
<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
|
||||
confirmation messages via email and SMS.
|
||||
|
||||
So to delegate email verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
|
||||
``account_threepid_delegates.email`` to the base URL of an identity server. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
account_threepid_delegates:
|
||||
email: https://example.com # Delegate email sending to example.com
|
||||
|
||||
Note that ``account_threepid_delegates.email`` replaces the deprecated
|
||||
``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets``: if
|
||||
``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is set to ``true``, and
|
||||
``account_threepid_delegates.email`` is not set, then the first entry in
|
||||
``trusted_third_party_id_servers`` will be used as the
|
||||
``account_threepid_delegate`` 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 ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is
|
||||
``true`` and no trusted identity server domains are configured, Synapse will
|
||||
report an error and refuse to start.
|
||||
|
||||
If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is ``false`` or absent
|
||||
and no ``email`` delegate is configured in ``account_threepid_delegates``,
|
||||
then Synapse will send email verification messages itself, using the configured
|
||||
SMTP server (see above).
|
||||
that type.
|
||||
|
||||
Phone numbers
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
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 ``matrix.org`` and
|
||||
``vector.im`` identity servers (or another identity server that supports SMS
|
||||
sending).
|
||||
|
||||
The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
|
||||
should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
|
||||
<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
|
||||
confirmation messages via email and SMS.
|
||||
|
||||
So to delegate phone number verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
|
||||
``account_threepid_delegates.msisdn`` to the base URL of an identity
|
||||
server. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
account_threepid_delegates:
|
||||
msisdn: https://example.com # Delegate sms sending to example.com
|
||||
|
||||
The ``matrix.org`` and ``vector.im`` 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Rolling back to v1.3.1
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you encounter problems with v1.4.0, it should be possible to roll back to
|
||||
v1.3.1, subject to the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* The 'room statistics' engine was heavily reworked in this release (see
|
||||
`#5971 <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5971>`_), 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.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
`homeserver.yaml`:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
stats:
|
||||
enabled: false
|
||||
|
||||
Don't forget to re-enable it when you upgrade again, in preparation for its
|
||||
use in the room directory!
|
||||
|
||||
