-# 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, 3.7, or 2.7
-- 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[all]
-```
-
-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[all]
-```
-
-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`. 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).
-Beware that the server name cannot be changed later.
-
-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.)
-
-You will need to give Synapse a TLS certficate before it will start - see [TLS
-certificates](#tls-certificates).
-
-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
-
-### Platform-Specific Instructions
-
-#### Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian
-
-Installing prerequisites on Ubuntu or Debian:
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev libffi-dev \
-                     python-pip python-setuptools sqlite3 \
-                     libssl-dev python-virtualenv libjpeg-dev libxslt1-dev
-```
-
-#### ArchLinux
-
-Installing prerequisites on ArchLinux:
-
-```
-sudo pacman -S base-devel python python-pip \
-               python-setuptools python-virtualenv sqlite3
-```
-
-#### CentOS/Fedora
-
-Installing prerequisites on CentOS 7 or Fedora 25:
-
-```
-sudo yum install libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libzip-devel freetype-devel \
-                 lcms2-devel libwebp-devel tcl-devel tk-devel redhat-rpm-config \
-                 python-virtualenv libffi-devel openssl-devel
-sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
-```
-
-#### Mac OS X
-
-Installing prerequisites on Mac OS X:
-
-```
-xcode-select --install
-sudo easy_install pip
-sudo pip install virtualenv
-brew install pkg-config libffi
-```
-
-#### OpenSUSE
-
-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://matrix.org/packages/debian/. To use them:
-
-```
-sudo apt install -y lsb-release curl apt-transport-https
-echo "deb https://matrix.org/packages/debian `lsb_release -cs` main" |
-    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list
-curl "https://matrix.org/packages/debian/repo-key.asc" |
-    sudo apt-key add -
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install matrix-synapse-py3
-```
-
-#### 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
-```
-
-### 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.rst](docs/reverse_proxy.rst).
-
-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 those of you upgrading your TLS certificate in readiness for Synapse 1.0,
-please take a look at `our guide <docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md#configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100>`_.
-
-## Registering a user
-
-You will need at least one user on your server in order to use a Matrix
-client. Users can be registered either via a Matrix client, or via a
-commandline script.
-
-To get started, it is easiest to use the command line to register new
-users. 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.rst](docs/turn-howto.rst) 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.

+System requirements:
+
+- POSIX-compliant system (tested on Linux & OS X)
+- Python 2.7
+- At least 1GB of free RAM if you want to join large public rooms like #matrix:matrix.org

+Installing from source
+----------------------
+
+(Prebuilt packages are available for some platforms - see `Platform-Specific
+Instructions`_.)
+
+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.

+if you prefer.
+
+This Synapse installation can then be later upgraded by using pip again with the
+update flag::

+
+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
+
+Configuring 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``. 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`_. Beware that the server name cannot be changed later.
+
+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`__ for more information on key management.)
+
+.. __: `key_management`_
+
+The default configuration exposes two HTTP ports: 8008 and 8448. Port 8008 is
+configured without TLS; it should be behind a reverse proxy for TLS/SSL
+termination on port 443 which in turn should be used for clients. Port 8448
+is configured to use TLS with a self-signed certificate. If you would like
+to do initial test with a client without having to setup a reverse proxy,
+you can temporarly use another certificate. (Note that a self-signed
+certificate is fine for `Federation`_). You can do so by changing
+``tls_certificate_path``, ``tls_private_key_path`` and ``tls_dh_params_path``
+in ``homeserver.yaml``; alternatively, you can use a reverse-proxy, but be sure
+to read `Using a reverse proxy with Synapse`_ when doing so.
+
+Apart from port 8448 using TLS, both ports are the same in the default
+configuration.
+
+Registering a user
+------------------
+
+You will need at least one user on your server in order to use a Matrix
+client. Users can be registered either `via a Matrix client`__, or via a
+commandline script.
+
+.. __: `client-user-reg`_
+
+To get started, it is easiest to use the command line to register new users::
+
+    $ source ~/.synapse/bin/activate
+    $ synctl start # if not already running
+    $ register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml https://localhost:8448
+    New user localpart: erikj
+    Password:
+    Confirm password:
+    Make admin [no]:
+    Success!

+``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

+For reliable VoIP calls to be routed via this homeserver, you MUST configure
+a TURN server.  See `<docs/turn-howto.rst>`_ for details.
+
+Running Synapse
+===============
+
+To actually run your new homeserver, pick a working directory for Synapse to
+run (e.g. ``~/.synapse``), and::
+
+    cd ~/.synapse
+    source ./bin/activate
+    synctl start
 
 
 Connecting to Synapse from a client
 ===================================
 
 The easiest way to try out your new Synapse installation is by connecting to it
-from a web client.
+from a web client. The easiest option is probably the one at
+https://riot.im/app. You will need to specify a "Custom server" when you log on
+or register: set this to ``https://domain.tld`` if you setup a reverse proxy
+following the recommended setup, or ``https://localhost:8448`` - remember to specify the
+port (``:8448``) if not ``:443`` unless you changed the configuration. (Leave the identity
+server as the default - see `Identity servers`_.)
 
-Unless you are running a test instance of Synapse on your local machine, in
-general, you will need to enable TLS support before you can successfully
-connect from a client: see `<INSTALL.md#tls-certificates>`_.
-
-An easy way to get started is to login or register via Riot at
-https://riot.im/app/#/login or https://riot.im/app/#/register respectively.
-You will need to change the server you are logging into from ``matrix.org``
-and instead specify a Homeserver URL of ``https://<server_name>:8448``
-(or just ``https://<server_name>`` if you are using a reverse proxy).
-(Leave the identity server as the default - see `Identity servers`_.)
-If you prefer to use another client, refer to our
-`client breakdown <https://matrix.org/docs/projects/clients-matrix>`_.
+If using port 8448 you will run into errors until you accept the self-signed
+certificate. You can easily do this by going to ``https://localhost:8448``
+directly with your browser and accept the presented certificate. You can then
+go back in your web client and proceed further.
 
 If all goes well you should at least be able to log in, create a room, and
 start sending messages.

+------
+
+Matrix provides official Debian packages via apt from https://matrix.org/packages/debian/.
+Note that these packages do not include a client - choose one from
+https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html (or build your own with one of our SDKs :)
+
+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
+

+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. If the default web client is to be served (enabled by default in
+the generated config),
+https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/python2-matrix-angular-sdk/ will also need to
+be installed.
+
+Alternatively, to install using pip a few changes may be needed as ArchLinux
+defaults to python 3, but synapse currently assumes python 2.7 by default:
+
+pip may be outdated (6.0.7-1 and needs to be upgraded to 6.0.8-1 )::
+
+    sudo pip2.7 install --upgrade pip
+
+You also may need to explicitly specify python 2.7 again during the install
+request::
+
+    pip2.7 install https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tarball/master
+
+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 pip2.7 uninstall py-bcrypt
+    sudo pip2.7 install py-bcrypt
+
+During setup of Synapse you need to call python2.7 directly again::
+
+    cd ~/.synapse
+    python2.7 -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+      --server-name machine.my.domain.name \
+      --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+      --generate-config
+
+...substituting your host and domain name as appropriate.
+
+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``
+
+
+OpenBSD
+-------
+
+There is currently no port for OpenBSD. Additionally, OpenBSD's security
+settings require a slightly more difficult installation process.
+
+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.
+
+NixOS
+-----
+
+Robin Lambertz has packaged Synapse for NixOS at:
+https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/misc/matrix-synapse.nix
+
+Windows Install
+---------------
+
+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
+===============
+
+Troubleshooting Installation
+----------------------------
+
+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 python2.7 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
+
+Running out of File Handles
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If synapse runs out of filehandles, it typically fails badly - live-locking
+at 100% CPU, and/or failing to accept new TCP connections (blocking the
+connecting client).  Matrix currently can legitimately use a lot of file handles,
+thanks to busy rooms like #matrix:matrix.org containing hundreds of participating
+servers.  The first time a server talks in a room it will try to connect
+simultaneously to all participating servers, which could exhaust the available
+file descriptors between DNS queries & HTTPS sockets, especially if DNS is slow
+to respond.  (We need to improve the routing algorithm used to be better than
+full mesh, but as of June 2017 this hasn't happened yet).
+
+If you hit this failure mode, we recommend increasing the maximum number of
+open file handles to be at least 4096 (assuming a default of 1024 or 256).
+This is typically done by editing ``/etc/security/limits.conf``
+
+Separately, Synapse may leak file handles if inbound HTTP requests get stuck
+during processing - e.g. blocked behind a lock or talking to a remote server etc.
+This is best diagnosed by matching up the 'Received request' and 'Processed request'
+log lines and looking for any 'Processed request' lines which take more than
+a few seconds to execute.  Please let us know at #matrix-dev:matrix.org if
+you see this failure mode so we can help debug it, however.
+
+ArchLinux
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+If running `$ synctl start` fails with 'returned non-zero exit status 1',
+you will need to explicitly call Python2.7 - either running as::
+
+    python2.7 -m synapse.app.homeserver --daemonize -c homeserver.yaml
+
+...or by editing synctl with the correct python executable.

+
+Setting up Federation
+=====================
+
+Federation is the process by which users on different servers can participate
+in the same room. For this to work, those other servers must be able to contact
+yours to send messages.
+
+As explained in `Configuring synapse`_, the ``server_name`` in your
+``homeserver.yaml`` file determines the way that other servers will reach
+yours. By default, they will treat it as a hostname and try to connect to
+port 8448. This is easy to set up and will work with the default configuration,
+provided you set the ``server_name`` to match your machine's public DNS
+hostname.
+
+For a more flexible configuration, you can set up a DNS SRV record. This allows
+you to run your server on a machine that might not have the same name as your
+domain name. For example, you might want to run your server at
+``synapse.example.com``, but have your Matrix user-ids look like
+``@user:example.com``. (A SRV record also allows you to change the port from
+the default 8448. However, if you are thinking of using a reverse-proxy on the
+federation port, which is not recommended, be sure to read
+`Reverse-proxying the federation port`_ first.)
+
+To use a SRV record, first create your SRV record and publish it in DNS. This
+should have the format ``_matrix._tcp.<yourdomain.com> <ttl> IN SRV 10 0 <port>
+<synapse.server.name>``. The DNS record should then look something like::
+
+    $ dig -t srv _matrix._tcp.example.com
+    _matrix._tcp.example.com. 3600    IN      SRV     10 0 8448 synapse.example.com.
+
+Note that the server hostname cannot be an alias (CNAME record): it has to point
+directly to the server hosting the synapse instance.
+
+You can then configure your homeserver to use ``<yourdomain.com>`` as the domain in
+its user-ids, by setting ``server_name``::
+
+    python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+        --server-name <yourdomain.com> \
+        --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+        --generate-config
+    python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml
+
+If you've already generated the config file, you need to edit the ``server_name``
+in your ``homeserver.yaml`` file. If you've already started Synapse and a
+database has been created, you will have to recreate the database.

+If all goes well, you should be able to `connect to your server with a client`__,
+and then join a room via federation. (Try ``#matrix-dev:matrix.org`` as a first
+step. "Matrix HQ"'s sheer size and activity level tends to make even the
+largest boxes pause for thought.)
+
+.. __: `Connecting to Synapse from a client`_
+
+Troubleshooting
+---------------
+
+You can use the federation tester to check if your homeserver is all set:
+``https://matrix.org/federationtester/api/report?server_name=<your_server_name>``
+If any of the attributes under "checks" is false, federation won't work.
+
+The typical failure mode with federation is that when you try to join a room,
+it is rejected with "401: Unauthorized". Generally this means that other
+servers in the room couldn't access yours. (Joining a room over federation is a
+complicated dance which requires connections in both directions).
+
+So, things to check are:
+
+* If you are trying to use a reverse-proxy, read `Reverse-proxying the
+  federation port`_.
+* If you are not using a SRV record, check that your ``server_name`` (the part
+  of your user-id after the ``:``) matches your hostname, and that port 8448 on
+  that hostname is reachable from outside your network.
+* If you *are* using a SRV record, check that it matches your ``server_name``
+  (it should be ``_matrix._tcp.<server_name>``), and that the port and hostname
+  it specifies are reachable from outside your network.
+
+Running a Demo Federation of Synapses
+-------------------------------------
+
+If you want to get up and running quickly with a trio of homeservers in a
+private federation, there is a script in the ``demo`` directory. This is mainly
+useful just for development purposes. See `<demo/README>`_.

 Using a reverse proxy with Synapse
@@ -201,7 +663,118 @@ It is recommended to put a reverse proxy such as
 doing so is that it means that you can expose the default https port (443) to
 Matrix clients without needing to run Synapse with root privileges.
 
-For information on configuring one, see `<docs/reverse_proxy.rst>`_.
+The most important thing to know here is that Matrix clients and other Matrix
+servers do not necessarily need to connect to your server via the same
+port. Indeed, clients will use port 443 by default, whereas servers default to
+port 8448. Where these are different, we refer to the 'client port' and the
+'federation port'.
+
+The next most important thing to know is that using a reverse-proxy on the
+federation port has a number of pitfalls. It is possible, but be sure to read
+`Reverse-proxying the federation port`_.
+
+The recommended setup is therefore to configure your reverse-proxy on port 443
+to port 8008 of synapse for client connections, but to also directly expose port
+8448 for server-server connections. All the Matrix endpoints begin ``/_matrix``,
+so an example nginx configuration might look like::
+
+  server {
+      listen 443 ssl;
+      listen [::]:443 ssl;
+      server_name matrix.example.com;
+
+      location /_matrix {
+          proxy_pass http://localhost:8008;
+          proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
+      }
+  }
+
+an example Caddy configuration might look like::
+
+    matrix.example.com {
+      proxy /_matrix http://localhost:8008 {
+        transparent
+      }
+    }
+
+and an example Apache configuration might look like::
+
+    <VirtualHost *:443>
+        SSLEngine on
+        ServerName matrix.example.com;
+
+        <Location /_matrix>
+            ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8008/_matrix nocanon
+            ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8008/_matrix
+        </Location>
+    </VirtualHost>
+
+You will also want to set ``bind_addresses: ['127.0.0.1']`` and ``x_forwarded: true``
+for port 8008 in ``homeserver.yaml`` to ensure that client IP addresses are
+recorded correctly.
+
+Having done so, you can then use ``https://matrix.example.com`` (instead of
+``https://matrix.example.com:8448``) as the "Custom server" when `Connecting to
+Synapse from a client`_.
+
+Reverse-proxying the federation port
+------------------------------------
+
+There are two issues to consider before using a reverse-proxy on the federation
+port:
+
+* Due to the way SSL certificates are managed in the Matrix federation protocol
+  (see `spec`__), Synapse needs to be configured with the path to the SSL
+  certificate, *even if you do not terminate SSL at Synapse*.
+
+  .. __: `key_management`_
+
+* Until v0.33.3, Synapse did not support SNI on the federation port
+  (`bug #1491 <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1491>`_). This bug
+  is now fixed, but means that federating with older servers can be unreliable 
+  when using name-based virtual hosting.
+
+Furthermore, a number of the normal reasons for using a reverse-proxy do not
+apply:
+
+* Other servers will connect on port 8448 by default, so there is no need to
+  listen on port 443 (for federation, at least), which avoids the need for root
+  privileges and virtual hosting.
+
+* A self-signed SSL certificate is fine for federation, so there is no need to
+  automate renewals. (The certificate generated by ``--generate-config`` is
+  valid for 10 years.)
+
+If you want to set up a reverse-proxy on the federation port despite these
+caveats, you will need to do the following:
+
+* In ``homeserver.yaml``, set ``tls_certificate_path`` to the path to the SSL
+  certificate file used by your reverse-proxy, and set ``no_tls`` to ``True``.
+  (``tls_private_key_path`` will be ignored if ``no_tls`` is ``True``.)
+
+* In your reverse-proxy configuration:
+
+  * If there are other virtual hosts on the same port, make sure that the
+    *default* one uses the certificate configured above.
+
+  * Forward ``/_matrix`` to Synapse.
+
+* If your reverse-proxy is not listening on port 8448, publish a SRV record to
+  tell other servers how to find you. See `Setting up Federation`_.
+
+When updating the SSL certificate, just update the file pointed to by
+``tls_certificate_path``: there is no need to restart synapse. (You may like to
+use a symbolic link to help make this process atomic.)
+
+The most common mistake when setting up federation is not to tell Synapse about
+your SSL certificate. To check it, you can visit
+``https://matrix.org/federationtester/api/report?server_name=<your_server_name>``.
+Unfortunately, there is no UI for this yet, but, you should see
+``"MatchingTLSFingerprint": true``. If not, check that
+``Certificates[0].SHA256Fingerprint`` (the fingerprint of the certificate
+presented by your reverse-proxy) matches ``Keys.tls_fingerprints[0].sha256``
+(the fingerprint of the certificate Synapse is using).

-Running out of File Handles
----------------------------
-
-If synapse runs out of file handles, it typically fails badly - live-locking
-at 100% CPU, and/or failing to accept new TCP connections (blocking the
-connecting client).  Matrix currently can legitimately use a lot of file handles,
-thanks to busy rooms like #matrix:matrix.org containing hundreds of participating
-servers.  The first time a server talks in a room it will try to connect
-simultaneously to all participating servers, which could exhaust the available
-file descriptors between DNS queries & HTTPS sockets, especially if DNS is slow
-to respond. (We need to improve the routing algorithm used to be better than
-full mesh, but as of March 2019 this hasn't happened yet).
-
-If you hit this failure mode, we recommend increasing the maximum number of
-open file handles to be at least 4096 (assuming a default of 1024 or 256).
-This is typically done by editing ``/etc/security/limits.conf``
-
-Separately, Synapse may leak file handles if inbound HTTP requests get stuck
-during processing - e.g. blocked behind a lock or talking to a remote server etc.
-This is best diagnosed by matching up the 'Received request' and 'Processed request'
-log lines and looking for any 'Processed request' lines which take more than
-a few seconds to execute. Please let us know at #synapse:matrix.org if
-you see this failure mode so we can help debug it, however.

-Upgrading to v0.99.0
-====================
-
-Please be aware that, before Synapse v1.0 is released around March 2019, you
-will need to replace any self-signed certificates with those verified by a
-root CA. Information on how to do so can be found at `the ACME docs
-<docs/ACME.md>`_.
-
-For more information on configuring TLS certificates see the `FAQ <docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md>`_.
-
-Upgrading to v0.34.0
-====================
-
-1. This release is the first to fully support Python 3. Synapse will now run on
-   Python versions 3.5, or 3.6 (as well as 2.7). We recommend switching to
-   Python 3, as it has been shown to give performance improvements.
-
-   For users who have installed Synapse into a virtualenv, we recommend doing
-   this by creating a new virtualenv. For example::
-
-       virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env3
-       source ~/synapse/env3/bin/activate
-       pip install matrix-synapse
-
-   You can then start synapse as normal, having activated the new virtualenv::
-
-       cd ~/synapse
-       source env3/bin/activate
-       synctl start
-
-   Users who have installed from distribution packages should see the relevant
-   package documentation. See below for notes on Debian packages.
-
-   * When upgrading to Python 3, you **must** make sure that your log files are
-     configured as UTF-8, by adding ``encoding: utf8`` to the
-     ``RotatingFileHandler`` configuration (if you have one) in your
-     ``<server>.log.config`` file. For example, if your ``log.config`` file
-     contains::
-
-       handlers:
-         file:
-           class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filename: homeserver.log
-           maxBytes: 104857600
-           backupCount: 10
-           filters: [context]
-         console:
-           class: logging.StreamHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filters: [context]
-
-     Then you should update this to be::
-
-       handlers:
-         file:
-           class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filename: homeserver.log
-           maxBytes: 104857600
-           backupCount: 10
-           filters: [context]
-           encoding: utf8
-         console:
-           class: logging.StreamHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filters: [context]
-
-     There is no need to revert this change if downgrading to Python 2.
-
-   We are also making available Debian packages which will run Synapse on
-   Python 3. You can switch to these packages with ``apt-get install
-   matrix-synapse-py3``, however, please read `debian/NEWS
-   <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v0.34.0/debian/NEWS>`_
-   before doing so. The existing ``matrix-synapse`` packages will continue to
-   use Python 2 for the time being.
-
-2. This release removes the ``riot.im`` from the default list of trusted
-   identity servers.
-
-   If ``riot.im`` is in your homeserver's list of
-   ``trusted_third_party_id_servers``, you should remove it. It was added in
-   case a hypothetical future identity server was put there. If you don't
-   remove it, users may be unable to deactivate their accounts.
-
-3. This release no longer installs the (unmaintained) Matrix Console web client
-   as part of the default installation. It is possible to re-enable it by
-   installing it separately and setting the ``web_client_location`` config
-   option, but please consider switching to another client.
