-
-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

-installations.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.4.0
-===================
-
-New custom templates
---------------------
-
-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.
-
-* ``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``
-
-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

 # Synapse Docker
 
-### Configuration
+FIXME: this is out-of-date as of
+https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5518. Contributions to bring it up
+to date would be welcome.
+
+### Automated configuration
+
+It is recommended that you use Docker Compose to run your containers, including
+this image and a Postgres server. A sample ``docker-compose.yml`` is provided,
+including example labels for reverse proxying and other artifacts.
+
+Read the section about environment variables and set at least mandatory variables,
+then run the server:
+
+```
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+If secrets are not specified in the environment variables, they will be generated
+as part of the startup. Please ensure these secrets are kept between launches of the
+Docker container, as their loss may require users to log in again.
+
+### Manual configuration
 
 A sample ``docker-compose.yml`` is provided, including example labels for
 reverse proxying and other artifacts. The docker-compose file is an example,
 please comment/uncomment sections that are not suitable for your usecase.
 
 Specify a ``SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH``, preferably to a persistent path,
-to use manual configuration.
-
-To generate a fresh `homeserver.yaml`, you can use the `generate` command.
-(See the [documentation](../../docker/README.md#generating-a-configuration-file)
-for more information.) You will need to specify appropriate values for at least the
-`SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME` and `SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS` environment variables. For example:
+to use manual configuration. To generate a fresh ``homeserver.yaml``, simply run:
 
 ```
-docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=yes synapse generate
+docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host synapse generate
 ```
 
-(This will also generate necessary signing keys.)
-
 Then, customize your configuration and run the server:
 
 ```

-## Setting ReCaptcha Keys
-
-The keys are a config option on the home server config. If they are not

-
-    recaptcha_public_key: YOUR_SITE_KEY
-    recaptcha_private_key: YOUR_SECRET_KEY
-
-In addition, you MUST enable captchas via:
-
-    enable_registration_captcha: true

-## Configuring IP used for auth
-
-The ReCaptcha API requires that the IP address of the user who solved the
-captcha is sent. If the client is connecting through a proxy or load balancer,
-it may be required to use the `X-Forwarded-For` (XFF) header instead of the origin
-IP address. This can be configured using the `x_forwarded` directive in the
-listeners section of the homeserver.yaml configuration file.

-Using an admin access_token
-###########################
-
-Many of the API calls listed in the documentation here will require to include an admin `access_token`.
-Finding your user's `access_token` is client-dependent, but will usually be shown in the client's settings.
-
-Once you have your `access_token`, to include it in a request, the best option is to add the token to a request header:
-
-``curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" <the_rest_of_your_API_request>``
-
-Fore more details, please refer to the complete `matrix spec documentation <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.5.0#using-access-tokens>`_.
