Features

TODO: Describe what all this means.

Phase 1:

Ban users
ACL servers
Update lists with new bans/ACLs

Pantalaimon support
No-op mode (for verifying behaviour)
Redact messages on ban (optionally)
More useful spam in management room
Command to import ACLs, etc from rooms
Vet rooms on startup option
Command to actually unban users (instead of leaving them stuck)
Support multiple lists

Phase 3:

Synapse antispam module
Room upgrade handling (both protected+list rooms)
Support community-defined scopes? (ie: no hardcoded config)
Riot hooks (independent of mjolnir?)

Docker (preferred)

Mjolnir is on Docker Hub as matrixdotorg/mjolnir but can be built yourself with docker build -t mjolnir ..

git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir.git
cd mjolnir

# Copy and edit the config. It is not recommended to change the data path.
mkdir -p /etc/mjolnir
cp config/default.yaml /etc/mjolnir/production.yaml
nano /etc/mjolnir/production.yaml

docker run --rm -it -v /etc/mjolnir:/data matrixdotorg/mjolnir:latest

Build it

This bot requires yarn and Node 10.

git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir.git
cd mjolnir

yarn install
yarn build

# Copy and edit the config. It *is* recommended to change the data path.
cp config/default.yaml config/development.yaml
nano config/development.yaml

node lib/index.js

Synapse Antispam Module

First, install the module to your Synapse python environment:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir.git#egg=mjolnir&subdirectory=synapse_antispam

Note: Where your python environment is depends on your installation method. Visit #synapse:matrix.org if you're not sure.

Then add the following to your homeserver.yaml:

spam_checker:
  module: mjolnir.AntiSpam
  config:
    # Prevent servers/users in the ban lists from inviting users on this
    # server to rooms. Default true.
    block_invites: true
    # Flag messages sent by servers/users in the ban lists as spam. Currently
    # this means that spammy messages will appear as empty to users. Default
    # false.
    block_messages: false
    # The room IDs of the ban lists to honour. Unlike other parts of Mjolnir,
    # this list cannot be room aliases or permalinks. This server is expected
    # to already be joined to the room - Mjolnir will not automatically join
    # these rooms.
    ban_lists:
      - "!roomid:example.org"

Be sure to change the configuration to match your setup. Your server is expected to already be participating in the ban lists - if it is not, you will need to have a user on your homeserver join. The antispam module will not join the rooms for you.

If you change the configuration, you will need to restart Synapse. You'll also need to restart Synapse to install the plugin.

Development

TODO. It's a TypeScript project with a linter.
