# Choosing your server name
|
|
|
|
It is important to choose the name for your server before you install Synapse,
|
|
because it cannot be changed later.
|
|
|
|
The server name determines the "domain" part of user-ids for users on your
|
|
server: these will all be of the format `@user:my.domain.name`. It also
|
|
determines how other matrix servers will reach yours for federation.
|
|
|
|
For a test configuration, set this to the hostname of your server. For a more
|
|
production-ready setup, you will probably want to specify your domain
|
|
(`example.com`) rather than a matrix-specific hostname here (in the same way
|
|
that your email address is probably `user@example.com` rather than
|
|
`user@email.example.com`) - but doing so may require more advanced setup: see
|
|
[Setting up Federation](docs/federate.md).
|
|

# Installing Synapse
|
|
|
|
## Installing from source
|
|
|
|
(Prebuilt packages are available for some platforms - see [Prebuilt packages](#prebuilt-packages).)
|
|
|
|
System requirements:
|
|
|
|
- POSIX-compliant system (tested on Linux & OS X)
|
|
- Python 3.5, 3.6, or 3.7
|
|
- At least 1GB of free RAM if you want to join large public rooms like #matrix:matrix.org
|
|
|
|
Synapse is written in Python but some of the libraries it uses are written in
|
|
C. So before we can install Synapse itself we need a working C compiler and the
|
|
header files for Python C extensions. See [Platform-Specific
|
|
Instructions](#platform-specific-instructions) for information on installing
|
|
these on various platforms.
|
|
|
|
To install the Synapse homeserver run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir -p ~/synapse
|
|
virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env
|
|
source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
|
|
pip install --upgrade pip
|
|
pip install --upgrade setuptools
|
|
pip install matrix-synapse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will download Synapse from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/matrix-synapse)
|
|
and install it, along with the python libraries it uses, into a virtual environment
|
|
under `~/synapse/env`. Feel free to pick a different directory if you
|
|
prefer.
|
|
|
|
This Synapse installation can then be later upgraded by using pip again with the
|
|
update flag:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
|
|
pip install -U matrix-synapse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Before you can start Synapse, you will need to generate a configuration
|
|
file. To do this, run (in your virtualenv, as before)::
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd ~/synapse
|
|
python -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`.
|
|
|
|
This command will generate you a config file that you can then customise, but it will
|
|
also generate a set of keys for you. These keys will allow your Home Server to
|
|
identify itself to other Home Servers, so don't lose or delete them. It would be
|
|
wise to back them up somewhere safe. (If, for whatever reason, you do need to
|
|
change your Home Server's keys, you may find that other Home Servers have the
|
|
old key cached. If you update the signing key, you should change the name of the
|
|
key in the `<server name>.signing.key` file (the second word) to something
|
|
different. See the
|
|
[spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/latest.html#retrieving-server-keys)
|
|
for more information on key management.)
|
|
|
|
To actually run your new homeserver, pick a working directory for Synapse to
|
|
run (e.g. `~/synapse`), and::
|
|
|
|
cd ~/synapse
|
|
source env/bin/activate
|
|
synctl start
|
|

|
|
sudo pip install virtualenv
|
|
brew install pkg-config libffi

|
|
Installing prerequisites on openSUSE:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo zypper in -t pattern devel_basis
|
|
sudo zypper in python-pip python-setuptools sqlite3 python-virtualenv \
|
|
python-devel libffi-devel libopenssl-devel libjpeg62-devel
|
|
```
|

#### OpenBSD
|
|
|
|
Installing prerequisites on OpenBSD:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
doas pkg_add python libffi py-pip py-setuptools sqlite3 py-virtualenv \
|
|
libxslt jpeg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There is currently no port for OpenBSD. Additionally, OpenBSD's security
|
|
settings require a slightly more difficult installation process.
|
|
|
|
XXX: I suspect this is out of date.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
After this, you may proceed with the rest of the install directions.
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
|
|
If you wish to run or develop Synapse on Windows, the Windows Subsystem For
|
|
Linux provides a Linux environment on Windows 10 which is capable of using the
|
|
Debian, Fedora, or source installation methods. More information about WSL can
|
|
be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 for
|
|
Windows 10 and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server
|
|
for Windows Server.
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
|
|
## Prebuilt packages
|
|
|
|
As an alternative to installing from source, prebuilt packages are available
|
|
for a number of platforms.
|
|
|
|
### Docker images and Ansible playbooks
|
|
|
|
There is an offical synapse image available at
|
|
https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse which can be used with
|
|
the docker-compose file available at [contrib/docker](contrib/docker). Further information on
|
|
this including configuration options is available in the README on
|
|
hub.docker.com.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, Andreas Peters (previously Silvio Fricke) has contributed a
|
|
Dockerfile to automate a synapse server in a single Docker image, at
|
|
https://hub.docker.com/r/avhost/docker-matrix/tags/
|
|
|
|
Slavi Pantaleev has created an Ansible playbook,
|
|
which installs the offical Docker image of Matrix Synapse
|
|
along with many other Matrix-related services (Postgres database, riot-web, coturn, mxisd, SSL support, etc.).
|
|
For more details, see
|
|
https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
#### Matrix.org packages
|
|
|
|
Matrix.org provides Debian/Ubuntu packages of the latest stable version of
|
|
Synapse via https://packages.matrix.org/debian/. They are available for Debian
|
|
9 (Stretch), Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial), and later. To use them:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install -y lsb-release wget apt-transport-https
|
|
sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.matrix.org/debian/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg
|
|
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.matrix.org/debian/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" |
|
|
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install matrix-synapse-py3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note**: if you followed a previous version of these instructions which
|
|
recommended using `apt-key add` to add an old key from
|
|
`https://matrix.org/packages/debian/`, you should note that this key has been
|
|
revoked. You should remove the old key with `sudo apt-key remove
|
|
C35EB17E1EAE708E6603A9B3AD0592FE47F0DF61`, and follow the above instructions to
|
|
update your configuration.
|
|
|
|
The fingerprint of the repository signing key (as shown by `gpg
|
|
/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg`) is
|
|
`AAF9AE843A7584B5A3E4CD2BCF45A512DE2DA058`.
|
|
|
|
#### Downstream Debian/Ubuntu packages
|
|
|
|
For `buster` and `sid`, Synapse is available in the Debian repositories and
|
|
it should be possible to install it with simply:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install matrix-synapse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There is also a version of `matrix-synapse` in `stretch-backports`. Please see
|
|
the [Debian documentation on
|
|
backports](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/) for information on how
|
|
to use them.
|
|
|
|
We do not recommend using the packages in downstream Ubuntu at this time, as
|
|
they are old and suffer from known security vulnerabilities.
|
|
|
|
### Fedora
|
|
|
|
Synapse is in the Fedora repositories as `matrix-synapse`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo dnf install matrix-synapse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Oleg Girko provides Fedora RPMs at
|
|
https://obs.infoserver.lv/project/monitor/matrix-synapse
|
|
|
|
### OpenSUSE
|
|
|
|
Synapse is in the OpenSUSE repositories as `matrix-synapse`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo zypper install matrix-synapse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
|
|
|
|
Unofficial package are built for SLES 15 in the openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15 repository at
|
|
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Backports:/SLE-15/standard/
|
|
|
|
### ArchLinux
|
|
|
|
The quickest way to get up and running with ArchLinux is probably with the community package
|
|
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/matrix-synapse/, which should pull in most of
|
|
the necessary dependencies.
|
|
|
|
pip may be outdated (6.0.7-1 and needs to be upgraded to 6.0.8-1 ):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you encounter an error with lib bcrypt causing an Wrong ELF Class:
|
|
ELFCLASS32 (x64 Systems), you may need to reinstall py-bcrypt to correctly
|
|
compile it under the right architecture. (This should not be needed if
|
|
installing under virtualenv):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo pip uninstall py-bcrypt
|
|
sudo pip install py-bcrypt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Void Linux
|
|
|
|
Synapse can be found in the void repositories as 'synapse':
|
|
|
|
xbps-install -Su
|
|
xbps-install -S synapse
|
|
|
|
### FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
Synapse can be installed via FreeBSD Ports or Packages contributed by Brendan Molloy from:
|
|
|
|
- Ports: `cd /usr/ports/net-im/py-matrix-synapse && make install clean`
|
|
- Packages: `pkg install py27-matrix-synapse`
|
|
|
|
|
|
### NixOS
|
|
|
|
Robin Lambertz has packaged Synapse for NixOS at:
|
|
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/misc/matrix-synapse.nix
|
|
|
|
# Setting up Synapse
|
|
|
|
Once you have installed synapse as above, you will need to configure it.
|
|
|
|
## TLS certificates
|
|
|
|
The default configuration exposes a single HTTP port: http://localhost:8008. It
|
|
is suitable for local testing, but for any practical use, you will either need
|
|
to enable a reverse proxy, or configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port.
|
|
|
|
For information on using a reverse proxy, see
|
|
[docs/reverse_proxy.md](docs/reverse_proxy.md).
|
|
|
|
To configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port, you will need to edit
|
|
`homeserver.yaml`, as follows:
|
|
|
|
* First, under the `listeners` section, uncomment the configuration for the
|
|
TLS-enabled listener. (Remove the hash sign (`#`) at the start of
|
|
each line). The relevant lines are like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
- port: 8448
|
|
type: http
|
|
tls: true
|
|
resources:
|
|
- names: [client, federation]
|
|
```
|
|
* You will also need to uncomment the `tls_certificate_path` and
|
|
`tls_private_key_path` lines under the `TLS` section. You can either
|
|
point these settings at an existing certificate and key, or you can
|
|
enable Synapse's built-in ACME (Let's Encrypt) support. Instructions
|
|
for having Synapse automatically provision and renew federation
|
|
certificates through ACME can be found at [ACME.md](docs/ACME.md). If you
|
|
are using your own certificate, be sure to use a `.pem` file that includes
|
|
the full certificate chain including any intermediate certificates (for
|
|
instance, if using certbot, use `fullchain.pem` as your certificate, not
|
|
`cert.pem`).
|
|
|
|
For a more detailed guide to configuring your server for federation, see
|
|
[federate.md](docs/federate.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Email
|
|
|
|
It is desirable for Synapse to have the capability to send email. For example,
|
|
this is required to support the 'password reset' feature.
|
|
|
|
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``.
|
|
|
|
If Synapse is not configured with an SMTP server, password reset via email will
|
|
be disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
## Registering a user
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to create a new user is to do so from a client like [Riot](https://riot.im).
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can do so from the command line if you have installed via pip.
|
|
|
|
This can be done as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
|
|
$ synctl start # if not already running
|
|
$ register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008
|
|
New user localpart: erikj
|
|
Password:
|
|
Confirm password:
|
|
Make admin [no]:
|
|
Success!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This process uses a setting `registration_shared_secret` in
|
|
`homeserver.yaml`, which is shared between Synapse itself and the
|
|
`register_new_matrix_user` script. It doesn't matter what it is (a random
|
|
value is generated by `--generate-config`), but it should be kept secret, as
|
|
anyone with knowledge of it can register users, including admin accounts,
|
|
on your server even if `enable_registration` is `false`.
|
|
|
|
## Setting up a TURN server
|
|
|
|
For reliable VoIP calls to be routed via this homeserver, you MUST configure
|
|
a TURN server. See [docs/turn-howto.md](docs/turn-howto.md) for details.
|
|
|
|
## URL previews
|
|
|
|
Synapse includes support for previewing URLs, which is disabled by default. To
|
|
turn it on you must enable the `url_preview_enabled: True` config parameter
|
|
and explicitly specify the IP ranges that Synapse is not allowed to spider for
|
|
previewing in the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist` configuration parameter.
|
|
This is critical from a security perspective to stop arbitrary Matrix users
|
|
spidering 'internal' URLs on your network. At the very least we recommend that
|
|
your loopback and RFC1918 IP addresses are blacklisted.
|
|
|
|
This also requires the optional lxml and netaddr python dependencies to be
|
|
installed. This in turn requires the libxml2 library to be available - on
|
|
Debian/Ubuntu this means `apt-get install libxml2-dev`, or equivalent for
|
|
your OS.
|
