The `http_proxy` and `HTTPS_PROXY` env vars can be set to a `host[:port]` value which should point to a proxy.
The address of the proxy should be excluded from IP blacklists such as the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist`.
The proxy will then be used for
* push
* url previews
* phone-home stats
* recaptcha validation
* CAS auth validation
It will *not* be used for:
* Application Services
* Identity servers
* Outbound federation
* In worker configurations, connections from workers to masters
Fixes#4198.
Sends password reset emails from the homeserver instead of proxying to the identity server. This is now the default behaviour for security reasons. If you wish to continue proxying password reset requests to the identity server you must now enable the email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets option.
This PR is a culmination of 3 smaller PRs which have each been separately reviewed:
* #5308
* #5345
* #5368
* Better logging for errors on startup
* Fix "TypeError: '>' not supported" when starting without an existing
certificate
* Fix a bug where an existing certificate would be reprovisoned every day
I wanted to bring listen_tcp into line with listen_ssl in terms of returning a
list of ports, and wanted to check that was a safe thing to do - hence the
logging in `refresh_certificate`.
Also, pull the 'Synapse now listening' message up to homeserver.py, because it
was being duplicated everywhere else.
This allows the OpenID userinfo endpoint to be active even if the
federation resource is not active. The OpenID userinfo endpoint
is called by integration managers to verify user actions using the
client API OpenID access token. Without this verification, the
integration manager cannot know that the access token is valid.
The OpenID userinfo endpoint will be loaded in the case that either
"federation" or "openid" resource is defined. The new "openid"
resource is defaulted to active in default configuration.

For all the homeserver classes, only the FrontendProxyServer passes
its reactor when doing the http listen. Looking at previous PR's looks
like this was introduced to make it possible to write a test, otherwise
when you try to run a test with the test homeserver it tries to
do a real bind to a port. Passing the reactor that the homeserver
is instantiated with should probably be the right thing to do anyway?

This is largely a precursor for the removal of the bundled webclient. The idea
is to present a page at / which reassures people that something is working, and
to give them some links for next steps.
The welcome page lives at `/_matrix/static/`, so is enabled alongside the other
`static` resources (which, in practice, means the client API is enabled). We'll
redirect to it from `/` if we have nothing better to display there.
It would be nice to have a way to disable it (in the same way that you might
disable the nginx welcome page), but I can't really think of a good way to do
that without a load of ickiness.
It's based on the work done by @krombel for #2601.
