+Synapse offers two database engines:

+ * [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/)
+
+Almost all installations should opt to use PostgreSQL. Advantages include:

+* significant performance improvements due to the superior threading and

+* allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware
+
+For information on how to install and use PostgreSQL, please see

-## Setting up Synapse
+# Setting up Synapse
 
 Once you have installed synapse as above, you will need to configure it.
 
-### Using PostgreSQL
-
-By default Synapse uses [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/) and in doing so trades performance for convenience.
-SQLite is only recommended in Synapse for testing purposes or for servers with
-very light workloads.
-
-Almost all installations should opt to use [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org). Advantages include:
-
-- significant performance improvements due to the superior threading and
-  caching model, smarter query optimiser
-- allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware
-
-For information on how to install and use PostgreSQL in Synapse, please see
-[docs/postgres.md](docs/postgres.md)

-Upgrading to v1.26.0
-====================
-
-Rolling back to v1.25.0 after a failed upgrade
-----------------------------------------------
-
-v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
-may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.26.0 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 v1.25.0 you need to:
-
-1. Stop the server
-2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      UPDATE schema_version SET version = 58;
-
-3. Delete the ignored users & chain cover data:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ignored_users;
-      UPDATE rooms SET has_auth_chain_index = false;
-
-   For PostgreSQL run:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      TRUNCATE event_auth_chain_links;
-      TRUNCATE event_auth_chains;
-
-   For SQLite run:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;
-      DELETE FROM event_auth_chains;
-
-4. Mark the deltas as not run (so they will re-run on upgrade).
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/01ignored_user.py";
-      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/06chain_cover_index.sql";
-
-5. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
-   in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
-
-Upgrading to v1.25.0
-====================
-
-Last release supporting Python 3.5
-----------------------------------
-
-This is the last release of Synapse which guarantees support with Python 3.5,
-which passed its upstream End of Life date several months ago.
-
-We will attempt to maintain support through March 2021, but without guarantees.
-
-In the future, Synapse will follow upstream schedules for ending support of
-older versions of Python and PostgreSQL. Please upgrade to at least Python 3.6
-and PostgreSQL 9.6 as soon as possible.
-
-Blacklisting IP ranges
-----------------------
-
-Synapse v1.25.0 includes new settings, ``ip_range_blacklist`` and
-``ip_range_whitelist``, for controlling outgoing requests from Synapse for federation,
-identity servers, push, and for checking key validity for third-party invite events.
-The previous setting, ``federation_ip_range_blacklist``, is deprecated. The new
-``ip_range_blacklist`` defaults to private IP ranges if it is not defined.
-
-If you have never customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` it is recommended
-that you remove that setting.
-
-If you have customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` you should update the
-setting name to ``ip_range_blacklist``.
-
-If you have a custom push server that is reached via private IP space you may
-need to customise ``ip_range_blacklist`` or ``ip_range_whitelist``.
-
-Upgrading to v1.24.0
-====================
-
-Custom OpenID Connect mapping provider breaking change
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform normalisation
-of the localpart of the Matrix ID. This allows for the mapping provider to
-specify different algorithms, instead of the [default way](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets).
-
-If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
-(`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module` is specified and not equal to
-`synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider`) then you *must* ensure
-that `map_user_attributes` of the mapping provider performs some normalisation
-of the `localpart` returned. To match previous behaviour you can use the
-`map_username_to_mxid_localpart` function provided by Synapse. An example is
-shown below:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-  from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart
-
-  class MyMappingProvider:
-      def map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token):
-          # ... your custom logic ...
-          sso_user_id = ...
-          localpart = map_username_to_mxid_localpart(sso_user_id)
-
-          return {"localpart": localpart}
-
-Removal historical Synapse Admin API 
-------------------------------------
-
-Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under:
-
-* ``/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/unstable/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/r0/admin``
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The endpoints with ``/_matrix/client/*`` prefixes have been removed as of v1.24.0.
-The Admin API is now only accessible under:
-
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The only exception is the `/admin/whois` endpoint, which is
-`also available via the client-server API <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-admin-whois-userid>`_.
-
-The deprecation of the old endpoints was announced with Synapse 1.20.0 (released
-on 2020-09-22) and makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external
-access to the Admin API endpoints.
-
-Upgrading to v1.23.0
-====================
-
-Structured logging configuration breaking changes
--------------------------------------------------
-
-This release deprecates use of the ``structured: true`` logging configuration for
-structured logging. If your logging configuration contains ``structured: true``
-then it should be modified based on the `structured logging documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/structured_logging.md>`_.
-
-The ``structured`` and ``drains`` logging options are now deprecated and should
-be replaced by standard logging configuration of ``handlers`` and ``formatters``.
-
-A future will release of Synapse will make using ``structured: true`` an error.
-
-Upgrading to v1.22.0
-====================
-
-ThirdPartyEventRules breaking changes
--------------------------------------
-
-This release introduces a backwards-incompatible change to modules making use of
-``ThirdPartyEventRules`` in Synapse. If you make use of a module defined under the
-``third_party_event_rules`` config option, please make sure it is updated to handle
-the below change:
-
-The ``http_client`` argument is no longer passed to modules as they are initialised. Instead,
-modules are expected to make use of the ``http_client`` property on the ``ModuleApi`` class.
-Modules are now passed a ``module_api`` argument during initialisation, which is an instance of
-``ModuleApi``. ``ModuleApi`` instances have a ``http_client`` property which acts the same as
-the ``http_client`` argument previously passed to ``ThirdPartyEventRules`` modules.
-
-Upgrading to v1.21.0
-====================
-
-Forwarding ``/_synapse/client`` through your reverse proxy
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-The `reverse proxy documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_ has been updated
-to include reverse proxy directives for ``/_synapse/client/*`` endpoints. As the user password
-reset flow now uses endpoints under this prefix, **you must update your reverse proxy
-configurations for user password reset to work**.
-
-Additionally, note that the `Synapse worker documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/workers.md>`_ has been updated to
- state that the ``/_synapse/client/password_reset/email/submit_token`` endpoint can be handled
-by all workers. If you make use of Synapse's worker feature, please update your reverse proxy
-configuration to reflect this change.
-
-New HTML templates
-------------------
-
-A new HTML template,
-`password_reset_confirmation.html <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/synapse/res/templates/password_reset_confirmation.html>`_,
-has been added to the ``synapse/res/templates`` directory. If you are using a
-custom template directory, you may want to copy the template over and modify it.
-
-Note that as of v1.20.0, templates do not need to be included in custom template
-directories for Synapse to start. The default templates will be used if a custom
-template cannot be found.
-
-This page will appear to the user after clicking a password reset link that has
-been emailed to them.
-
-To complete password reset, the page must include a way to make a `POST`
-request to
-``/_synapse/client/password_reset/{medium}/submit_token``
-with the query parameters from the original link, presented as a URL-encoded form. See the file
-itself for more details.
-
-Updated Single Sign-on HTML Templates
--------------------------------------
-
-The ``saml_error.html`` template was removed from Synapse and replaced with the
-``sso_error.html`` template. If your Synapse is configured to use SAML and a
-custom ``sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir`` configuration then any customisations
-of the ``saml_error.html`` template will need to be merged into the ``sso_error.html``
-template. These templates are similar, but the parameters are slightly different:
-
-* The ``msg`` parameter should be renamed to ``error_description``.
-* There is no longer a ``code`` parameter for the response code.
-* A string ``error`` parameter is available that includes a short hint of why a
-  user is seeing the error page.

-## Undoing room shutdowns
-
-*Note*: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room shutdowns being performed at the database level,
-the structure can and does change without notice.
-
-First, it's important to understand that a room shutdown is very destructive. Undoing a shutdown is not as simple as pretending it
-never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
-to recover at all:
-
-* If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.
-* If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.
-* The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different server.
-
-With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
-
-1. For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.
-2. In the database, run `DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';`
-   * For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: `BEGIN; DELETE ...;`, verify you got 1 result, then `COMMIT;`.
-   * The room ID is the same one supplied to the shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.
-3. Restart Synapse.
-
-You will have to manually handle, if you so choose, the following:
-
-* Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.
-* Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).
-* Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.
-
-
-# Make Room Admin API
-
-Grants another user the highest power available to a local user who is in the room.
-If the user is not in the room, and it is not publicly joinable, then invite the user.
-
-By default the server admin (the caller) is granted power, but another user can

-# Auth Chain Difference Algorithm
-
-The auth chain difference algorithm is used by V2 state resolution, where a
-naive implementation can be a significant source of CPU and DB usage.
-
-### Definitions
-
-A *state set* is a set of state events; e.g. the input of a state resolution
-algorithm is a collection of state sets.
-
-The *auth chain* of a set of events are all the events' auth events and *their*
-auth events, recursively (i.e. the events reachable by walking the graph induced
-by an event's auth events links).
-
-The *auth chain difference* of a collection of state sets is the union minus the
-intersection of the sets of auth chains corresponding to the state sets, i.e an
-event is in the auth chain difference if it is reachable by walking the auth
-event graph from at least one of the state sets but not from *all* of the state
-sets.
-
-## Breadth First Walk Algorithm
-
-A way of calculating the auth chain difference without calculating the full auth
-chains for each state set is to do a parallel breadth first walk (ordered by
-depth) of each state set's auth chain. By tracking which events are reachable
-from each state set we can finish early if every pending event is reachable from
-every state set.
-
-This can work well for state sets that have a small auth chain difference, but
-can be very inefficient for larger differences. However, this algorithm is still
-used if we don't have a chain cover index for the room (e.g. because we're in
-the process of indexing it).
-
-## Chain Cover Index
-
-Synapse computes auth chain differences by pre-computing a "chain cover" index
-for the auth chain in a room, allowing efficient reachability queries like "is
-event A in the auth chain of event B". This is done by assigning every event a
-*chain ID* and *sequence number* (e.g. `(5,3)`), and having a map of *links*
-between chains (e.g. `(5,3) -> (2,4)`) such that A is reachable by B (i.e. `A`
-is in the auth chain of `B`) if and only if either:
-
-1. A and B have the same chain ID and `A`'s sequence number is less than `B`'s
-   sequence number; or
-2. there is a link `L` between `B`'s chain ID and `A`'s chain ID such that
-   `L.start_seq_no` <= `B.seq_no` and `A.seq_no` <= `L.end_seq_no`.
-
-There are actually two potential implementations, one where we store links from
-each chain to every other reachable chain (the transitive closure of the links
-graph), and one where we remove redundant links (the transitive reduction of the
-links graph) e.g. if we have chains `C3 -> C2 -> C1` then the link `C3 -> C1`
-would not be stored. Synapse uses the former implementations so that it doesn't
-need to recurse to test reachability between chains.
-
-### Example
-
-An example auth graph would look like the following, where chains have been
-formed based on type/state_key and are denoted by colour and are labelled with
-`(chain ID, sequence number)`. Links are denoted by the arrows (links in grey
-are those that would be remove in the second implementation described above).
-
-![Example](auth_chain_diff.dot.png)
-
-Note that we don't include all links between events and their auth events, as
-most of those links would be redundant. For example, all events point to the
-create event, but each chain only needs the one link from it's base to the
-create event.
-
-## Using the Index
-
-This index can be used to calculate the auth chain difference of the state sets
-by looking at the chain ID and sequence numbers reachable from each state set:
-
-1. For every state set lookup the chain ID/sequence numbers of each state event
-2. Use the index to find all chains and the maximum sequence number reachable
-   from each state set.
-3. The auth chain difference is then all events in each chain that have sequence
-   numbers between the maximum sequence number reachable from *any* state set and
-   the minimum reachable by *all* state sets (if any).
-
-Note that steps 2 is effectively calculating the auth chain for each state set
-(in terms of chain IDs and sequence numbers), and step 3 is calculating the
-difference between the union and intersection of the auth chains.
-
-### Worked Example
-
-For example, given the above graph, we can calculate the difference between
-state sets consisting of:
-
-1. `S1`: Alice's invite `(4,1)` and Bob's second join `(2,2)`; and
-2. `S2`: Alice's second join `(4,3)` and Bob's first join `(2,1)`.
-
-Using the index we see that the following auth chains are reachable from each
-state set:
-
-1. `S1`: `(1,1)`, `(2,2)`, `(3,1)` & `(4,1)`
-2. `S2`: `(1,1)`, `(2,1)`, `(3,2)` & `(4,3)`
-
-And so, for each the ranges that are in the auth chain difference:
-1. Chain 1: None, (since everything can reach the create event).
-2. Chain 2: The range `(1, 2]` (i.e. just `2`), as `1` is reachable by all state
-   sets and the maximum reachable is `2` (corresponding to Bob's second join).
-3. Chain 3: Similarly the range `(1, 2]` (corresponding to the second power
-   level).
-4. Chain 4: The range `(1, 3]` (corresponding to both of Alice's joins).
-
-So the final result is: Bob's second join `(2,2)`, the second power level
-`(3,2)` and both of Alice's joins `(4,2)` & `(4,3)`.

-The limits are considered when running purge jobs. If necessary, the

-`allowed_lifetime_min` and `allowed_lifetime_max` (inclusive).
-This means that, if the value of `max_lifetime` defined in the room's state
