-# Contributing code to Synapse
-
-Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
-projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to
-license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
-follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
-submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
-license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
-license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
-[LICENSE](LICENSE)).
-
-## How to contribute
-
-The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
-project on github, and then [create a pull request](
-https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
-changes into our repo.
-
-Some other points to follow:
- 
- * Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
-  
- * Please follow the [code style requirements](#code-style).
-
- * Please include a [changelog entry](#changelog) with each PR.
-
- * Please [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution.
-
- * Please keep an eye on the pull request for feedback from the [continuous
-   integration system](#continuous-integration-and-testing) and try to fix any
-   errors that come up.
-
- * If you need to [update your PR](#updating-your-pull-request), just add new
-   commits to your branch rather than rebasing.
-
-## Code style
-
-Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
-it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
-file](docs/code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
-
-Many of the conventions are enforced by scripts which are run as part of the
-[continuous integration system](#continuous-integration-and-testing). To help
-check if you have followed the code style, you can run `scripts-dev/lint.sh`
-locally. You'll need python 3.6 or later, and to install a number of tools:
-
-```
-# Install the dependencies
-pip install -U black flake8 flake8-comprehensions isort
-
-# Run the linter script
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh
-```
-
-**Note that the script does not just test/check, but also reformats code, so you
-may wish to ensure any new code is committed first**.
-
-By default, this script checks all files and can take some time; if you alter
-only certain files, you might wish to specify paths as arguments to reduce the
-run-time:
-
-```
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
-```
-
-Before pushing new changes, ensure they don't produce linting errors. Commit any
-files that were corrected.
-
-Please ensure your changes match the cosmetic style of the existing project,
-and **never** mix cosmetic and functional changes in the same commit, as it
-makes it horribly hard to review otherwise.
-
-## Changelog
-
-All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
-entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
-
-To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
-in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
-
-* `feature`
-* `bugfix`
-* `docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
-* `doc` (for updates to the documentation)
-* `removal` (also used for deprecations)
-* `misc` (for internal-only changes)
-
-This file will become part of our [changelog](
-https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) at the next
-release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
-change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
-formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
-consistency.
-
-Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
-contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
-
-For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
-`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
-
-> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
-> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
-
-If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
-then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
-merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
-release.
-
-### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
-
-Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
-`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
-chicken-and-egg problem.
-
-There are two options for solving this:
-
- 1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
-    add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
-    request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
-
- 1. Look at the [list of all
-    issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
-    highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
-    your number.
-
-    [This
-    script](https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh)
-    might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.
-
-Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's *really* helpful for us when we come
-to put together a release!
-
-### Debian changelog
-
-Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in `debian`) are an
-exception to the rule that all changes require a `changelog.d` file.
-
-In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
-next release. For this, run the following command:
-
-```
-dch
-```
-
-This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
-version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
-(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
-corrected for the release.)
-
-If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
-directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
-debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
-separate pull requests.)
-
-## Sign off
-
-In order to have a concrete record that your contribution is intentional
-and you agree to license it under the same terms as the project's license, we've adopted the
-same lightweight approach that the Linux Kernel
-[submitting patches process](
-https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin>),
-[Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and many other
-projects use: the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin:
-http://developercertificate.org/). This is a simple declaration that you wrote
-the contribution or otherwise have the right to contribute it to Matrix:
-
-```
-Developer Certificate of Origin
-Version 1.1
-
-Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.

-San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
-
-Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
-license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
-
-By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
-
-(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
-    have the right to submit it under the open source license
-    indicated in the file; or
-
-(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
-    of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
-    license and I have the right under that license to submit that
-    work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
-    by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
-    permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
-    in the file; or
-
-(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
-    person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
-    it.
-
-(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
-    are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
-    personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
-    maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
-    this project or the open source license(s) involved.
-```
-
-If you agree to this for your contribution, then all that's needed is to
-include the line in your commit or pull request comment:
-
-```
-Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.example.org>
-```
-
-We accept contributions under a legally identifiable name, such as
-your name on government documentation or common-law names (names
-claimed by legitimate usage or repute). Unfortunately, we cannot
-accept anonymous contributions at this time.
-
-Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the `-s`
-flag to `git commit`, which uses the name and email set in your
-`user.name` and `user.email` git configs.
-
-## Continuous integration and testing
-
-[Buildkite](https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/synapse) will automatically
-run a series of checks and tests against any PR which is opened against the
-project; if your change breaks the build, this will be shown in GitHub, with
-links to the build results. If your build fails, please try to fix the errors
-and update your branch.
-
-To run unit tests in a local development environment, you can use:
-
-- ``tox -e py35`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``)
-  for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.5.

+Contributing code to Matrix
+===========================
+
+Everyone is welcome to contribute code to Matrix
+(https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to license
+their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We follow a
+simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of submitting an
+'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to license the code
+under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound' license - in our
+case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see LICENSE).
+
+How to contribute
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes to Matrix is to fork the
+relevant project on github, and then create a pull request to ask us to pull
+your changes into our repo
+(https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/)
+
+**The single biggest thing you need to know is: please base your changes on
+the develop branch - /not/ master.**
+
+We use the master branch to track the most recent release, so that folks who
+blindly clone the repo and automatically check out master get something that
+works. Develop is the unstable branch where all the development actually
+happens: the workflow is that contributors should fork the develop branch to
+make a 'feature' branch for a particular contribution, and then make a pull
+request to merge this back into the matrix.org 'official' develop branch. We
+use github's pull request workflow to review the contribution, and either ask
+you to make any refinements needed or merge it and make them ourselves. The
+changes will then land on master when we next do a release.
+
+We use `Buildkite <https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/synapse>`_ for
+continuous integration.  Buildkite builds need to be authorised by a
+maintainer. If your change breaks the build, this will be shown in GitHub, so
+please keep an eye on the pull request for feedback.
+
+To run unit tests in a local development environment, you can use:
+
+- ``tox -e py35`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``)
+  for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.5.
+- ``tox -e py36`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.6.
+- ``tox -e py36-postgres`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.6
+  (requires a running local PostgreSQL with access to create databases).
+- ``./test_postgresql.sh`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.5
+  (requires Docker). Entirely self-contained, recommended if you don't want to
+  set up PostgreSQL yourself.
+
+Docker images are available for running the integration tests (SyTest) locally,
+see the `documentation in the SyTest repo
+<https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md>`_ for more
+information.
+
+Code style
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All Matrix projects have a well-defined code-style - and sometimes we've even
+got as far as documenting it... For instance, synapse's code style doc lives
+at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/code_style.md.
+
+Please ensure your changes match the cosmetic style of the existing project,
+and **never** mix cosmetic and functional changes in the same commit, as it
+makes it horribly hard to review otherwise.
+
+Changelog
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
+entry. These are managed by Towncrier
+(https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
+
+To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the ``changelog.d`` file named
+in the format of ``PRnumber.type``. The type can be one of the following:
+
+* ``feature``.
+* ``bugfix``.
+* ``docker`` (for updates to the Docker image).
+* ``doc`` (for updates to the documentation).
+* ``removal`` (also used for deprecations).
+* ``misc`` (for internal-only changes).
+
+The content of the file is your changelog entry, which should be a short
+description of your change in the same style as the rest of our `changelog
+<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md>`_. The file can
+contain Markdown formatting, and should end with a full stop ('.') for
+consistency.
+
+Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
+contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
+
+For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
+``changelog.d/1234.bugfix``, and contain content like "The security levels of
+Florbs are now validated when recieved over federation. Contributed by Jane
+Matrix.".
+
+Debian changelog
+----------------
+
+Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in ``debian``) are an
+exception.
+
+In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
+next release. For this, run the following command::
+
+  dch
+
+This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
+version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
+(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
+corrected for the release.)
+
+If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
+directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
+debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
+separate pull requests.)
+
+Attribution
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Everyone who contributes anything to Matrix is welcome to be listed in the
+AUTHORS.rst file for the project in question. Please feel free to include a
+change to AUTHORS.rst in your pull request to list yourself and a short
+description of the area(s) you've worked on. Also, we sometimes have swag to
+give away to contributors - if you feel that Matrix-branded apparel is missing
+from your life, please mail us your shipping address to matrix at matrix.org and
+we'll try to fix it :)
+
+Sign off
+~~~~~~~~
+
+In order to have a concrete record that your contribution is intentional
+and you agree to license it under the same terms as the project's license, we've adopted the
+same lightweight approach that the Linux Kernel
+`submitting patches process <https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin>`_, Docker
+(https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and many other
+projects use: the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin:
+http://developercertificate.org/). This is a simple declaration that you wrote
+the contribution or otherwise have the right to contribute it to Matrix::

+    Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
+
+    By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
+
+    (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
+        have the right to submit it under the open source license
+        indicated in the file; or
+
+    (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
+        of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
+        license and I have the right under that license to submit that
+        work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
+        by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
+        permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
+        in the file; or
+
+    (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
+        person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
+        it.
+
+    (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
+        are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
+        personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
+        maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
+        this project or the open source license(s) involved.
+
+If you agree to this for your contribution, then all that's needed is to
+include the line in your commit or pull request comment::
+
+    Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.example.org>
+
+We accept contributions under a legally identifiable name, such as
+your name on government documentation or common-law names (names
+claimed by legitimate usage or repute). Unfortunately, we cannot
+accept anonymous contributions at this time.
+
+Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the ``-s``
+flag to ``git commit``, which uses the name and email set in your
+``user.name`` and ``user.email`` git configs.
+
+Conclusion
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+That's it!  Matrix is a very open and collaborative project as you might expect
+given our obsession with open communication.  If we're going to successfully
+matrix together all the fragmented communication technologies out there we are
+reliant on contributions and collaboration from the community to do so.  So

+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::

+
+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

+created. To reset the installation::

-Upgrading to v1.14.0
-====================
-
-This version includes a database update which is run as part of the upgrade,
-and which may take a couple of minutes in the case of a large server. Synapse
-will not respond to HTTP requests while this update is taking place.
-
-Upgrading to v1.13.0
-====================
-
-Incorrect database migration in old synapse versions
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room directory to
-be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly from v1.2.1 or
-earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x.
-
-This will *not* be a problem for Synapse installations which were:
- * created at v1.4.0 or later,
- * upgraded via v1.3.x, or
- * upgraded straight from v1.2.1 or earlier to v1.13.0 or later.
-
-If completeness of the room directory is a concern, installations which are
-affected can be repaired as follows:
-
-1. Run the following sql from a `psql` or `sqlite3` console:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-     INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES
-        ('populate_stats_process_rooms', '{}', 'current_state_events_membership');
-
-     INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES
-        ('populate_stats_process_users', '{}', 'populate_stats_process_rooms');
-
-2. Restart synapse.
-
-New Single Sign-on HTML Templates
----------------------------------
-
-New templates (``sso_auth_confirm.html``, ``sso_auth_success.html``, and
-``sso_account_deactivated.html``) were added to Synapse. If your Synapse is
-configured to use SSO and a custom  ``sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir``
-configuration then these templates will need to be copied from
-`synapse/res/templates <synapse/res/templates>`_ into that directory.
-
-Synapse SSO Plugins Method Deprecation
---------------------------------------
-
-Plugins using the ``complete_sso_login`` method of
-``synapse.module_api.ModuleApi`` should update to using the async/await
-version ``complete_sso_login_async`` which includes additional checks. The
-non-async version is considered deprecated.
-
-Rolling back to v1.12.4 after a failed upgrade
-----------------------------------------------
-
-v1.13.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
-may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.13.0 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 v1.12.4 you need to:
-
-1. Stop the server
-2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      UPDATE schema_version SET version = 57;
-
-3. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
-   in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.12.0
-====================
-
-This version includes a database update which is run as part of the upgrade,
-and which may take some time (several hours in the case of a large
-server). Synapse will not respond to HTTP requests while this update is taking
-place.
-
-This is only likely to be a problem in the case of a server which is
-participating in many rooms.
-
-0. As with all upgrades, it is recommended that you have a recent backup of
-   your database which can be used for recovery in the event of any problems.
-
-1. As an initial check to see if you will be affected, you can try running the
-   following query from the `psql` or `sqlite3` console. It is safe to run it
-   while Synapse is still running.
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      SELECT MAX(q.v) FROM (
-        SELECT (
-          SELECT ej.json AS v
-          FROM state_events se INNER JOIN event_json ej USING (event_id)
-          WHERE se.room_id=rooms.room_id AND se.type='m.room.create' AND se.state_key=''
-          LIMIT 1
-        ) FROM rooms WHERE rooms.room_version IS NULL
-      ) q;
-
-   This query will take about the same amount of time as the upgrade process: ie,
-   if it takes 5 minutes, then it is likely that Synapse will be unresponsive for
-   5 minutes during the upgrade.
-
-   If you consider an outage of this duration to be acceptable, no further
-   action is necessary and you can simply start Synapse 1.12.0.
-
-   If you would prefer to reduce the downtime, continue with the steps below.
-
-2. The easiest workaround for this issue is to manually
-   create a new index before upgrading. On PostgreSQL, his can be done as follows:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index
-      ON state_events(room_id) WHERE type = 'm.room.create';
-
-   The above query may take some time, but is also safe to run while Synapse is
-   running.
-
-   We assume that no SQLite users have databases large enough to be
-   affected. If you *are* affected, you can run a similar query, omitting the
-   ``CONCURRENTLY`` keyword. Note however that this operation may in itself cause
-   Synapse to stop running for some time. Synapse admins are reminded that
-   `SQLite is not recommended for use outside a test
-   environment <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/README.rst#using-postgresql>`_.
-
-3. Once the index has been created, the ``SELECT`` query in step 1 above should
-   complete quickly. It is therefore safe to upgrade to Synapse 1.12.0.
-
-4. Once Synapse 1.12.0 has successfully started and is responding to HTTP
-   requests, the temporary index can be removed:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DROP INDEX tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index;
-
-Upgrading to v1.10.0
-====================
-
-Synapse will now log a warning on start up if used with a PostgreSQL database
-that has a non-recommended locale set.
-
-See `docs/postgres.md <docs/postgres.md>`_ for details.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.8.0
-===================
-
-Specifying a ``log_file`` config option will now cause Synapse to refuse to
-start, and should be replaced by with the ``log_config`` option. Support for
-the ``log_file`` option was removed in v1.3.0 and has since had no effect.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.7.0
-===================
-
-In an attempt to configure Synapse in a privacy preserving way, the default
-behaviours of ``allow_public_rooms_without_auth`` and
-``allow_public_rooms_over_federation`` have been inverted. This means that by
-default, only authenticated users querying the Client/Server API will be able
-to query the room directory, and relatedly that the server will not share
-room directory information with other servers over federation.
-
-If your installation does not explicitly set these settings one way or the other
-and you want either setting to be ``true`` then it will necessary to update
-your homeserver configuration file accordingly.
-
-For more details on the surrounding context see our `explainer
-<https://matrix.org/blog/2019/11/09/avoiding-unwelcome-visitors-on-private-matrix-servers>`_.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.5.0
-===================
-
-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
-the ``devices`` table. This is only likely to a be a problem on very large
-installations.

 # 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:

-The documentation for using systemd to manage synapse workers is now part of
-the main synapse distribution. See [docs/systemd-with-workers](../../docs/systemd-with-workers).
+# Setup Synapse with Workers and Systemd
+
+This is a setup for managing synapse with systemd including support for
+managing workers. It provides a `matrix-synapse`, as well as a
+`matrix-synapse-worker@` service for any workers you require. Additionally to
+group the required services it sets up a `matrix.target`. You can use this to
+automatically start any bot- or bridge-services. More on this in
+[Bots and Bridges](#bots-and-bridges).
+
+See the folder [system](system) for any service and target files.
+
+The folder [workers](workers) contains an example configuration for the
+`federation_reader` worker. Pay special attention to the name of the
+configuration file. In order to work with the `matrix-synapse-worker@.service`
+service, it needs to have the exact same name as the worker app.
+
+This setup expects neither the homeserver nor any workers to fork. Forking is
+handled by systemd.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Adjust your matrix configs. Make sure that the worker config files have the
+exact same name as the worker app. Compare `matrix-synapse-worker@.service` for
+why. You can find an example worker config in the [workers](workers) folder. See
+below for relevant settings in the `homeserver.yaml`.
+2. Copy the `*.service` and `*.target` files in [system](system) to
+`/etc/systemd/system`.
+3. `systemctl enable matrix-synapse.service` this adds the homeserver
+app to the `matrix.target`
+4. *Optional.* `systemctl enable
+matrix-synapse-worker@federation_reader.service` this adds the federation_reader
+app to the `matrix-synapse.service`
+5. *Optional.* Repeat step 4 for any additional workers you require.
+6. *Optional.* Add any bots or bridges by enabling them.
+7. Start all matrix related services via `systemctl start matrix.target`
+8. *Optional.* Enable autostart of all matrix related services on system boot
+via `systemctl enable matrix.target`
+
+## Usage
+
+After you have setup you can use the following commands to manage your synapse
+installation:
+
+```
+# Start matrix-synapse, all workers and any enabled bots or bridges.
+systemctl start matrix.target
+
+# Restart matrix-synapse and all workers (not necessarily restarting bots
+# or bridges, see "Bots and Bridges")
+systemctl restart matrix-synapse.service
+
+# Stop matrix-synapse and all workers (not necessarily restarting bots
+# or bridges, see "Bots and Bridges")
+systemctl stop matrix-synapse.service
+
+# Restart a specific worker (i. e. federation_reader), the homeserver is
+# unaffected by this.
+systemctl restart matrix-synapse-worker@federation_reader.service
+
+# Add a new worker (assuming all configs are setup already)
+systemctl enable matrix-synapse-worker@federation_writer.service
+systemctl restart matrix-synapse.service
+```
+
+## The Configs
+
+Make sure the `worker_app` is set in the `homeserver.yaml` and it does not fork.
+
+```
+worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver 
+daemonize: false
+```
+
+None of the workers should fork, as forking is handled by systemd. Hence make
+sure this is present in all worker config files.
+
+```
+worker_daemonize: false
+```
+
+The config files of all workers are expected to be located in
+`/etc/matrix-synapse/workers`. If you want to use a different location you have
+to edit the provided `*.service` files accordingly.  
+
+## Bots and Bridges
+
+Most bots and bridges do not care if the homeserver goes down or is restarted.
+Depending on the implementation this may crash them though. So look up the docs
+or ask the community of the specific bridge or bot you want to run to make sure
+you choose the correct setup.
+
+Whichever configuration you choose, after the setup the following will enable
+automatically starting (and potentially restarting) your bot/bridge with the
+`matrix.target`.
+
+```
+systemctl enable <yourBotOrBridgeName>.service
+```
+
+**Note** that from an inactive synapse the bots/bridges will only be started with
+synapse if you start the `matrix.target`, not if you start the
+`matrix-synapse.service`. This is on purpose. Think of `matrix-synapse.service`
+as *just* synapse, but `matrix.target` being anything matrix related, including
+synapse and any and all enabled bots and bridges.
+
+### Start with synapse but ignore synapse going down
+
+If the bridge can handle shutdowns of the homeserver you'll want to install the
+service in the `matrix.target` and optionally add a
+`After=matrix-synapse.service` dependency to have the bot/bridge start after
+synapse on starting everything.
+
+In this case the service file should look like this.
+
+```
+[Unit]
+# ...
+# Optional, this will only ensure that if you start everything, synapse will
+# be started before the bot/bridge will be started.
+After=matrix-synapse.service
+
+[Service]
+# ...
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=matrix.target
+```
+
+### Stop/restart when synapse stops/restarts
+
+If the bridge can't handle shutdowns of the homeserver you'll still want to
+install the service in the `matrix.target` but also have to specify the
+`After=matrix-synapse.service` *and* `BindsTo=matrix-synapse.service`
+dependencies to have the bot/bridge stop/restart with synapse.
+
+In this case the service file should look like this.
+
+```
+[Unit]
+# ...
+# Mandatory
+After=matrix-synapse.service
+BindsTo=matrix-synapse.service
+
+[Service]
+# ...

 # ACME
 
-From version 1.0 (June 2019) onwards, Synapse requires valid TLS
-certificates for communication between servers (by default on port
-`8448`) in addition to those that are client-facing (port `443`). To
-help homeserver admins fulfil this new requirement, Synapse v0.99.0
-introduced support for automatically provisioning certificates through 
-[Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) using the ACME protocol.
-
-## Deprecation of ACME v1
-
-In [March 2019](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/end-of-life-plan-for-acmev1/88430),
-Let's Encrypt announced that they were deprecating version 1 of the ACME
-protocol, with the plan to disable the use of it for new accounts in
-November 2019, and for existing accounts in June 2020.
-
-Synapse doesn't currently support version 2 of the ACME protocol, which
-means that:
-
-* for existing installs, Synapse's built-in ACME support will continue
-  to work until June 2020.
-* for new installs, this feature will not work at all.
-
-Either way, it is recommended to move from Synapse's ACME support
-feature to an external automated tool such as [certbot](https://github.com/certbot/certbot)
-(or browse [this list](https://letsencrypt.org/fr/docs/client-options/)
-for an alternative ACME client).
-
-It's also recommended to use a reverse proxy for the server-facing
-communications (more documentation about this can be found
-[here](/docs/reverse_proxy.md)) as well as the client-facing ones and
-have it serve the certificates.
-
-In case you can't do that and need Synapse to serve them itself, make
-sure to set the `tls_certificate_path` configuration setting to the path
-of the certificate (make sure to use the certificate containing the full
-certification chain, e.g. `fullchain.pem` if using certbot) and
-`tls_private_key_path` to the path of the matching private key. Note
-that in this case you will need to restart Synapse after each
-certificate renewal so that Synapse stops using the old certificate.
-
-If you still want to use Synapse's built-in ACME support, the rest of
-this document explains how to set it up.

+the ACME protocol to provision a certificate automatically. Synapse v0.99.0+
+will provision server-to-server certificates automatically for you for free

-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>``

-# List Room API
-
-The List Room admin API allows server admins to get a list of rooms on their
-server. There are various parameters available that allow for filtering and
-sorting the returned list. This API supports pagination.
-
-## Parameters
-
-The following query parameters are available:
-
-* `from` - Offset in the returned list. Defaults to `0`.
-* `limit` - Maximum amount of rooms to return. Defaults to `100`.
-* `order_by` - The method in which to sort the returned list of rooms. Valid values are:
-  - `alphabetical` - Same as `name`. This is deprecated.
-  - `size` - Same as `joined_members`. This is deprecated.
-  - `name` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by room name. This is the default.
-  - `canonical_alias` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by main alias address of the room.
-  - `joined_members` - Rooms are ordered by the number of members. Largest to smallest.
-  - `joined_local_members` - Rooms are ordered by the number of local members. Largest to smallest.
-  - `version` - Rooms are ordered by room version. Largest to smallest.
-  - `creator` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by creator of the room.
-  - `encryption` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by the end-to-end encryption algorithm.
-  - `federatable` - Rooms are ordered by whether the room is federatable.
-  - `public` - Rooms are ordered by visibility in room list.
-  - `join_rules` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by join rules of the room.
-  - `guest_access` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by guest access option of the room.
-  - `history_visibility` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by visibility of history of the room.
-  - `state_events` - Rooms are ordered by number of state events. Largest to smallest.
-* `dir` - Direction of room order. Either `f` for forwards or `b` for backwards. Setting
-          this value to `b` will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to `f`.
-* `search_term` - Filter rooms by their room name. Search term can be contained in any
-                  part of the room name. Defaults to no filtering.
-
-The following fields are possible in the JSON response body:
-
-* `rooms` - An array of objects, each containing information about a room.
-  - Room objects contain the following fields:
-    - `room_id` - The ID of the room.
-    - `name` - The name of the room.
-    - `canonical_alias` - The canonical (main) alias address of the room.
-    - `joined_members` - How many users are currently in the room.
-    - `joined_local_members` - How many local users are currently in the room.
-    - `version` - The version of the room as a string.
-    - `creator` - The `user_id` of the room creator.
-    - `encryption` - Algorithm of end-to-end encryption of messages. Is `null` if encryption is not active.
-    - `federatable` - Whether users on other servers can join this room.
-    - `public` - Whether the room is visible in room directory.
-    - `join_rules` - The type of rules used for users wishing to join this room. One of: ["public", "knock", "invite", "private"].
-    - `guest_access` - Whether guests can join the room. One of: ["can_join", "forbidden"].
-    - `history_visibility` - Who can see the room history. One of: ["invited", "joined", "shared", "world_readable"].
-    - `state_events` - Total number of state_events of a room. Complexity of the room.
-* `offset` - The current pagination offset in rooms. This parameter should be
-             used instead of `next_token` for room offset as `next_token` is
-             not intended to be parsed.
-* `total_rooms` - The total number of rooms this query can return. Using this
-                  and `offset`, you have enough information to know the current
-                  progression through the list.
-* `next_batch` - If this field is present, we know that there are potentially
-                 more rooms on the server that did not all fit into this response.
-                 We can use `next_batch` to get the "next page" of results. To do
-                 so, simply repeat your request, setting the `from` parameter to
-                 the value of `next_batch`.
-* `prev_batch` - If this field is present, it is possible to paginate backwards.
-                 Use `prev_batch` for the `from` value in the next request to
-                 get the "previous page" of results.

-# Shutdown room API
-
-Shuts down a room, preventing new joins and moves local users and room aliases automatically
-to a new room. The new room will be created with the user specified by the
-`new_room_user_id` parameter as room administrator and will contain a message
-explaining what happened. Users invited to the new room will have power level
--10 by default, and thus be unable to speak. The old room's power levels will be changed to
-disallow any further invites or joins.
-
-The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
-the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.
-
-## API
-
-You will need to authenticate with an access token for an admin user.
-
-### URL
-
-`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/{room_id}`
-
-### URL Parameters
-
-* `room_id` - The ID of the room (e.g `!someroom:example.com`)
-
-### JSON Body Parameters
-
-* `new_room_user_id` - Required. A string representing the user ID of the user that will admin
-                       the new room that all users in the old room will be moved to.
-* `room_name` - Optional. A string representing the name of the room that new users will be
-                invited to.
-* `message` - Optional. A string containing the first message that will be sent as
-              `new_room_user_id` in the new room. Ideally this will clearly convey why the
-               original room was shut down.
-              
-If not specified, the default value of `room_name` is "Content Violation
-Notification". The default value of `message` is "Sharing illegal content on
-othis server is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked."
-
-### Response Parameters
-
-* `kicked_users` - An integer number representing the number of users that
-                   were kicked.
-* `failed_to_kick_users` - An integer number representing the number of users
-                           that were not kicked.
-* `local_aliases` - An array of strings representing the local aliases that were migrated from
-                    the old room to the new.
-* `new_room_id` - A string representing the room ID of the new room.

-# Delegation
-
-By default, other homeservers will expect to be able to reach yours via
-your `server_name`, on port 8448. For example, if you set your `server_name`
-to `example.com` (so that your user names look like `@user:example.com`),
-other servers will try to connect to yours at `https://example.com:8448/`.
-
-Delegation is a Matrix feature allowing a homeserver admin to retain a
-`server_name` of `example.com` so that user IDs, room aliases, etc continue
-to look like `*:example.com`, whilst having federation traffic routed
-to a different server and/or port (e.g. `synapse.example.com:443`).
-
-## .well-known delegation
-
-To use this method, you need to be able to alter the
-`server_name` 's https server to serve the `/.well-known/matrix/server`
-URL. Having an active server (with a valid TLS certificate) serving your
-`server_name` domain is out of the scope of this documentation.
-
-The URL `https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server` should
-return a JSON structure containing the key `m.server` like so:
-
-```json
-{
-    "m.server": "<synapse.server.name>[:<yourport>]"
-}
-```
-
-In our example, this would mean that URL `https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server`
-should return:
-
-```json
-{
-    "m.server": "synapse.example.com:443"
-}
-```
-
-Note, specifying a port is optional. If no port is specified, then it defaults
-to 8448.
-
-With .well-known delegation, federating servers will check for a valid TLS
-certificate for the delegated hostname (in our example: `synapse.example.com`).
-
-## SRV DNS record delegation
-
-It is also possible to do delegation using a SRV DNS record. However, that is
-considered an advanced topic since it's a bit complex to set up, and `.well-known`
-delegation is already enough in most cases.
-
-However, if you really need it, you can find some documentation on how such a
-record should look like and how Synapse will use it in [the Matrix
-specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/latest#resolving-server-names).
-
-## Delegation FAQ
-
-### When do I need delegation?
-
-If your homeserver's APIs are accessible on the default federation port (8448)
-and the domain your `server_name` points to, you do not need any delegation.
-
-For instance, if you registered `example.com` and pointed its DNS A record at a
-fresh server, you could install Synapse on that host, giving it a `server_name`
-of `example.com`, and once a reverse proxy has been set up to proxy all requests
-sent to the port `8448` and serve TLS certificates for `example.com`, you
-wouldn't need any delegation set up.
-
-**However**, if your homeserver's APIs aren't accessible on port 8448 and on the
-domain `server_name` points to, you will need to let other servers know how to
-find it using delegation.
-
-### Do you still recommend against using a reverse proxy on the federation port?
-
-We no longer actively recommend against using a reverse proxy. Many admins will
-find it easier to direct federation traffic to a reverse proxy and manage their
-own TLS certificates, and this is a supported configuration.
-
-See [reverse_proxy.md](reverse_proxy.md) for information on setting up a
-reverse proxy.
-
-### Do I still need to give my TLS certificates to Synapse if I am using a reverse proxy?
-
-This is no longer necessary. If you are using a reverse proxy for all of your
-TLS traffic, then you can set `no_tls: True` in the Synapse config.
-
-In that case, the only reason Synapse needs the certificate is to populate a legacy
-`tls_fingerprints` field in the federation API. This is ignored by Synapse 0.99.0
-and later, and the only time pre-0.99 Synapses will check it is when attempting to
-fetch the server keys - and generally this is delegated via `matrix.org`, which
-is running a modern version of Synapse.
-
-### Do I need the same certificate for the client and federation port?
-
-No. There is nothing stopping you from using different certificates,
-particularly if you are using a reverse proxy.

-# How to test CAS as a developer without a server
-
-The [django-mama-cas](https://github.com/jbittel/django-mama-cas) project is an
-easy to run CAS implementation built on top of Django.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. Create a new virtualenv: `python3 -m venv <your virtualenv>`
-2. Activate your virtualenv: `source /path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/activate`
-3. Install Django and django-mama-cas:
-   ```
-   python -m pip install "django<3" "django-mama-cas==2.4.0"
-   ```
-4. Create a Django project in the current directory:
-   ```
-   django-admin startproject cas_test .
-   ```
-5. Follow the [install directions](https://django-mama-cas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#configuring) for django-mama-cas
-6. Setup the SQLite database: `python manage.py migrate`
-7. Create a user:
-   ```
-   python manage.py createsuperuser
-   ```
-   1. Use whatever you want as the username and password.
-   2. Leave the other fields blank.
-8. Use the built-in Django test server to serve the CAS endpoints on port 8000:
-   ```
-   python manage.py runserver
-   ```
-
-You should now have a Django project configured to serve CAS authentication with
-a single user created.
-
-## Configure Synapse (and Riot) to use CAS
-
-1. Modify your `homeserver.yaml` to enable CAS and point it to your locally
-   running Django test server:
-   ```yaml
-   cas_config:
-     enabled: true
-     server_url: "http://localhost:8000"
-     service_url: "http://localhost:8081"
-     #displayname_attribute: name
-     #required_attributes:
-     #    name: value
-   ```
-2. Restart Synapse.
-
-Note that the above configuration assumes the homeserver is running on port 8081
-and that the CAS server is on port 8000, both on localhost.
-
-## Testing the configuration
-
-Then in Riot:
-
-1. Visit the login page with a Riot pointing at your homeserver.
-2. Click the Single Sign-On button.
-3. Login using the credentials created with `createsuperuser`.
-4. You should be logged in.
-
-If you want to repeat this process you'll need to manually logout first:
-
-1. http://localhost:8000/admin/
-2. Click "logout" in the top right.

-Some notes on how we use git
-============================
-
-On keeping the commit history clean
------------------------------------
-
-In an ideal world, our git commit history would be a linear progression of
-commits each of which contains a single change building on what came
-before. Here, by way of an arbitrary example, is the top of `git log --graph
-b2dba0607`:
-
-<img src="git/clean.png" alt="clean git graph" width="500px">
-
-Note how the commit comment explains clearly what is changing and why. Also
-note the *absence* of merge commits, as well as the absence of commits called
-things like (to pick a few culprits):
-[“pep8”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/84691da6c), [“fix broken
-test”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/474810d9d),
-[“oops”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/c9d72e457),
-[“typo”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/836358823), or [“Who's
-the president?”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/707374d5d).
-
-There are a number of reasons why keeping a clean commit history is a good
-thing:
-
- * From time to time, after a change lands, it turns out to be necessary to
-   revert it, or to backport it to a release branch. Those operations are
-   *much* easier when the change is contained in a single commit.
-
- * Similarly, it's much easier to answer questions like “is the fix for
-   `/publicRooms` on the release branch?” if that change consists of a single
-   commit.
-
- * Likewise: “what has changed on this branch in the last week?” is much
-   clearer without merges and “pep8” commits everywhere.
-
- * Sometimes we need to figure out where a bug got introduced, or some
-   behaviour changed. One way of doing that is with `git bisect`: pick an
-   arbitrary commit between the known good point and the known bad point, and
-   see how the code behaves. However, that strategy fails if the commit you
-   chose is the middle of someone's epic branch in which they broke the world
-   before putting it back together again.
-
-One counterargument is that it is sometimes useful to see how a PR evolved as
-it went through review cycles. This is true, but that information is always
-available via the GitHub UI (or via the little-known [refs/pull
-namespace](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/checking-out-pull-requests-locally)).
-
-
-Of course, in reality, things are more complicated than that. We have release
-branches as well as `develop` and `master`, and we deliberately merge changes
-between them. Bugs often slip through and have to be fixed later. That's all
-fine: this not a cast-iron rule which must be obeyed, but an ideal to aim
-towards.
-
-Merges, squashes, rebases: wtf?
--------------------------------
-
-Ok, so that's what we'd like to achieve. How do we achieve it?
-
-The TL;DR is: when you come to merge a pull request, you *probably* want to
-“squash and merge”:
-
-![squash and merge](git/squash.png).
-
-(This applies whether you are merging your own PR, or that of another
-contributor.)
-
-“Squash and merge”<sup id="a1">[1](#f1)</sup> takes all of the changes in the
-PR, and bundles them into a single commit. GitHub gives you the opportunity to
-edit the commit message before you confirm, and normally you should do so,
-because the default will be useless (again: `* woops typo` is not a useful
-thing to keep in the historical record).
-
-The main problem with this approach comes when you have a series of pull
-requests which build on top of one another: as soon as you squash-merge the
-first PR, you'll end up with a stack of conflicts to resolve in all of the
-others. In general, it's best to avoid this situation in the first place by
-trying not to have multiple related PRs in flight at the same time. Still,
-sometimes that's not possible and doing a regular merge is the lesser evil.
-
-Another occasion in which a regular merge makes more sense is a PR where you've
-deliberately created a series of commits each of which makes sense in its own
-right. For example: [a PR which gradually propagates a refactoring operation
-through the codebase](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6837), or [a
-PR which is the culmination of several other
-PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5987). In this case the ability
-to figure out when a particular change/bug was introduced could be very useful.
-
-Ultimately: **this is not a hard-and-fast-rule**. If in doubt, ask yourself “do
-each of the commits I am about to merge make sense in their own right”, but
-remember that we're just doing our best to balance “keeping the commit history
-clean” with other factors.
-
-Git branching model
--------------------
-
-A [lot](https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/)
-[of](http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html)
-[words](https://www.endoflineblog.com/gitflow-considered-harmful) have been
-written in the past about git branching models (no really, [a
-lot](https://martinfowler.com/articles/branching-patterns.html)). I tend to
-think the whole thing is overblown. Fundamentally, it's not that
-complicated. Here's how we do it.
-
-Let's start with a picture:
-
-![branching model](git/branches.jpg)
-
-It looks complicated, but it's really not. There's one basic rule: *anyone* is
-free to merge from *any* more-stable branch to *any* less-stable branch at
-*any* time<sup id="a2">[2](#f2)</sup>. (The principle behind this is that if a
-change is good enough for the more-stable branch, then it's also good enough go
-put in a less-stable branch.)
-
-Meanwhile, merging (or squashing, as per the above) from a less-stable to a
-more-stable branch is a deliberate action in which you want to publish a change
-or a set of changes to (some subset of) the world: for example, this happens
-when a PR is landed, or as part of our release process.
-
-So, what counts as a more- or less-stable branch? A little reflection will show
-that our active branches are ordered thus, from more-stable to less-stable:
-
- * `master` (tracks our last release).
- * `release-vX.Y.Z` (the branch where we prepare the next release)<sup
-   id="a3">[3](#f3)</sup>.
- * PR branches which are targeting the release.
- * `develop` (our "mainline" branch containing our bleeding-edge).
- * regular PR branches.
-
-The corollary is: if you have a bugfix that needs to land in both
-`release-vX.Y.Z` *and* `develop`, then you should base your PR on
-`release-vX.Y.Z`, get it merged there, and then merge from `release-vX.Y.Z` to
-`develop`. (If a fix lands in `develop` and we later need it in a
-release-branch, we can of course cherry-pick it, but landing it in the release
-branch first helps reduce the chance of annoying conflicts.)
-
----
-
-<b id="f1">[1]</b>: “Squash and merge” is GitHub's term for this
-operation. Given that there is no merge involved, I'm not convinced it's the
-most intuitive name. [^](#a1)

-<b id="f3">[3]</b>: Very, very occasionally (I think this has happened once in

-# How to test OpenID Connect
-
-Any OpenID Connect Provider (OP) should work with Synapse, as long as it supports the authorization code flow.
-There are a few options for that:
-
- - start a local OP. Synapse has been tested with [Hydra][hydra] and [Dex][dex-idp].
-   Note that for an OP to work, it should be served under a secure (HTTPS) origin.
-   A certificate signed with a self-signed, locally trusted CA should work. In that case, start Synapse with a `SSL_CERT_FILE` environment variable set to the path of the CA.
- - use a publicly available OP. Synapse has been tested with [Google][google-idp].
- - setup a SaaS OP, like [Auth0][auth0] and [Okta][okta]. Auth0 has a free tier which has been tested with Synapse.

-
-
-## Sample configs
-
-Here are a few configs for providers that should work with Synapse.
-
-### [Dex][dex-idp]
-
-[Dex][dex-idp] is a simple, open-source, certified OpenID Connect Provider.
-Although it is designed to help building a full-blown provider, with some external database, it can be configured with static passwords in a config file.
-
-Follow the [Getting Started guide](https://github.com/dexidp/dex/blob/master/Documentation/getting-started.md) to install Dex.
-
-Edit `examples/config-dev.yaml` config file from the Dex repo to add a client:
-
-```yaml
-staticClients:
-- id: synapse
-  secret: secret
-  redirectURIs:
-  - '[synapse base url]/_synapse/oidc/callback'
-  name: 'Synapse'
-```
-
-Run with `dex serve examples/config-dex.yaml`
-
-Synapse config:
-
-```yaml
-oidc_config:
-   enabled: true
-   skip_verification: true # This is needed as Dex is served on an insecure endpoint
-   issuer: "http://127.0.0.1:5556/dex"
-   discover: true
-   client_id: "synapse"
-   client_secret: "secret"
-   scopes:
-     - openid
-     - profile
-   user_mapping_provider:
-     config:
-       localpart_template: '{{ user.name }}'
-       display_name_template: '{{ user.name|capitalize }}'
-```
-
-### [Auth0][auth0]
-
-1. Create a regular web application for Synapse
-2. Set the Allowed Callback URLs to `[synapse base url]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
-3. Add a rule to add the `preferred_username` claim.
-   <details>
-    <summary>Code sample</summary>
-
-    ```js
-    function addPersistenceAttribute(user, context, callback) {
-      user.user_metadata = user.user_metadata || {};
-      user.user_metadata.preferred_username = user.user_metadata.preferred_username || user.user_id;
-      context.idToken.preferred_username = user.user_metadata.preferred_username;
-
-      auth0.users.updateUserMetadata(user.user_id, user.user_metadata)
-        .then(function(){
-            callback(null, user, context);
-        })
-        .catch(function(err){
-            callback(err);
-        });
-    }
-    ```
-
-  </details>
-
-
-```yaml
-oidc_config:
-   enabled: true
-   issuer: "https://your-tier.eu.auth0.com/" # TO BE FILLED
-   discover: true
-   client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED

-     config:
-       localpart_template: '{{ user.preferred_username }}'
-       display_name_template: '{{ user.name }}'
-```
-
-### GitHub
-
-GitHub is a bit special as it is not an OpenID Connect compliant provider, but just a regular OAuth2 provider.
-The `/user` API endpoint can be used to retrieve informations from the user.
-As the OIDC login mechanism needs an attribute to uniquely identify users and that endpoint does not return a `sub` property, an alternative `subject_claim` has to be set.
-
-1. Create a new OAuth application: https://github.com/settings/applications/new
-2. Set the callback URL to `[synapse base url]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
-
-```yaml
-oidc_config:
-   enabled: true
-   issuer: "https://github.com/"
-   discover: false
-   client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED
-   client_secret: "your-client-secret" # TO BE FILLED
-   authorization_endpoint: "https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize"
-   token_endpoint: "https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token"
-   userinfo_endpoint: "https://api.github.com/user"
-   scopes:
-     - read:user
-   user_mapping_provider:
-     config:
-       subject_claim: 'id'
-       localpart_template: '{{ user.login }}'
-       display_name_template: '{{ user.name }}'
-```
-
-### Google
-
-1. Setup a project in the Google API Console
-2. Obtain the OAuth 2.0 credentials (see <https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/openid-connect>)
-3. Add this Authorized redirect URI: `[synapse base url]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
-
-```yaml
-oidc_config:
-   enabled: true
-   issuer: "https://accounts.google.com/"
-   discover: true
-   client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED

-     config:
-       localpart_template: '{{ user.given_name|lower }}'
-       display_name_template: '{{ user.name }}'
-```
-
-### Twitch
-
-1. Setup a developer account on [Twitch](https://dev.twitch.tv/)
-2. Obtain the OAuth 2.0 credentials by [creating an app](https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps/)
-3. Add this OAuth Redirect URL: `[synapse base url]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
-
-```yaml
-oidc_config:
-   enabled: true

-Setting up federation
+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.
 
-The `server_name` configured in the Synapse configuration file (often
-`homeserver.yaml`) defines how resources (users, rooms, etc.) will be
-identified (eg: `@user:example.com`, `#room:example.com`). By default,
-it is also the domain that other servers will use to try to reach your
-server (via port 8448). This is easy to set up and will work provided
-you set the `server_name` to match your machine's public DNS hostname.
-
-For this default configuration to work, you will need to listen for TLS
-connections on port 8448. The preferred way to do that is by using a
-reverse proxy: see [reverse_proxy.md](<reverse_proxy.md>) for instructions
-on how to correctly set one up.
-
-In some cases you might not want to run Synapse on the machine that has
-the `server_name` as its public DNS hostname, or you might want federation
-traffic to use a different port than 8448. For example, you might want to
-have your user names look like `@user:example.com`, but you want to run
-Synapse on `synapse.example.com` on port 443. This can be done using
-delegation, which allows an admin to control where federation traffic should
-be sent. See [delegate.md](delegate.md) for instructions on how to set this up.
+The ``server_name`` configured in the Synapse configuration file (often
+``homeserver.yaml``) defines how resources (users, rooms, etc.) will be
+identified (eg: ``@user:example.com``, ``#room:example.com``). By
+default, it is also the domain that other servers will use to
+try to reach your server (via port 8448). This is easy to set
+up and will work provided you set the ``server_name`` to match your
+machine's public DNS hostname, and provide Synapse with a TLS certificate
+which is valid for your ``server_name``.
 
 Once federation has been configured, you should be able to join a room over
-federation. A good place to start is `#synapse:matrix.org` - a room for
+federation. A good place to start is ``#synapse:matrix.org`` - a room for
 Synapse admins.
 
+
+## Delegation
+
+For a more flexible configuration, you can have ``server_name``
+resources (eg: ``@user:example.com``) served by a different host and
+port (eg: ``synapse.example.com:443``). There are two ways to do this:
+
+- adding a ``/.well-known/matrix/server`` URL served on ``https://example.com``.
+- adding a DNS ``SRV`` record in the DNS zone of domain
+  ``example.com``.
+
+Without configuring delegation, the matrix federation will
+expect to find your server via ``example.com:8448``. The following methods
+allow you retain a `server_name` of `example.com` so that your user IDs, room
+aliases, etc continue to look like `*:example.com`, whilst having your
+federation traffic routed to a different server.
+
+### .well-known delegation
+
+To use this method, you need to be able to alter the
+``server_name`` 's https server to serve the ``/.well-known/matrix/server``
+URL. Having an active server (with a valid TLS certificate) serving your
+``server_name`` domain is out of the scope of this documentation.
+
+The URL ``https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server`` should
+return a JSON structure containing the key ``m.server`` like so:
+
+    {
+	    "m.server": "<synapse.server.name>[:<yourport>]"
+    }
+
+In our example, this would mean that URL ``https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server``
+should return:
+
+    {
+	    "m.server": "synapse.example.com:443"
+    }
+
+Note, specifying a port is optional. If a port is not specified an SRV lookup
+is performed, as described below. If the target of the
+delegation does not have an SRV record, then the port defaults to 8448.
+
+Most installations will not need to configure .well-known. However, it can be
+useful in cases where the admin is hosting on behalf of someone else and
+therefore cannot gain access to the necessary certificate. With .well-known,
+federation servers will check for a valid TLS certificate for the delegated
+hostname (in our example: ``synapse.example.com``).
+
+.well-known support first appeared in Synapse v0.99.0. To federate with older
+servers you may need to additionally configure SRV delegation. Alternatively,
+encourage the server admin in question to upgrade :).
+
+### DNS SRV delegation
+
+To use this delegation method, you need to have write access to your
+``server_name`` 's domain zone DNS records (in our example it would be
+``example.com`` DNS zone).
+
+This method requires the target server to provide a
+valid TLS certificate for the original ``server_name``.
+
+You need to add a SRV record in your ``server_name`` 's DNS zone with
+this format:
+
+     _matrix._tcp.<yourdomain.com> <ttl> IN SRV <priority> <weight> <port> <synapse.server.name>
+
+In our example, we would need to add this SRV record in the
+``example.com`` DNS zone:
+
+     _matrix._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 10 5 443 synapse.example.com.
+
+Once done and set up, you can check the DNS record with ``dig -t srv
+_matrix._tcp.<server_name>``. In our example, we would expect this:
+
+    $ dig -t srv _matrix._tcp.example.com
+    _matrix._tcp.example.com. 3600    IN      SRV     10 0 443 synapse.example.com.
+
+Note that the target of a SRV record cannot be an alias (CNAME record): it has to point
+directly to the server hosting the synapse instance.
+
+### Delegation FAQ
+#### When do I need a SRV record or .well-known URI?
+
+If your homeserver listens on the default federation port (8448), and your
+`server_name` points to the host that your homeserver runs on, you do not need an SRV
+record or `.well-known/matrix/server` URI.
+
+For instance, if you registered `example.com` and pointed its DNS A record at a
+fresh server, you could install Synapse on that host,
+giving it a `server_name` of `example.com`, and once [ACME](acme.md) support is enabled,
+it would automatically generate a valid TLS certificate for you via Let's Encrypt
+and no SRV record or .well-known URI would be needed.
+
+This is the common case, although you can add an SRV record or
+`.well-known/matrix/server` URI for completeness if you wish.
+
+**However**, if your server does not listen on port 8448, or if your `server_name`
+does not point to the host that your homeserver runs on, you will need to let
+other servers know how to find it. The way to do this is via .well-known or an
+SRV record.
+
+#### I have created a .well-known URI. Do I still need an SRV record?
+
+As of Synapse 0.99, Synapse will first check for the existence of a .well-known
+URI and follow any delegation it suggests. It will only then check for the
+existence of an SRV record.
+
+That means that the SRV record will often be redundant. However, you should
+remember that there may still be older versions of Synapse in the federation
+which do not understand .well-known URIs, so if you removed your SRV record
+you would no longer be able to federate with them.
+
+It is therefore best to leave the SRV record in place for now. Synapse 0.34 and
+earlier will follow the SRV record (and not care about the invalid
+certificate). Synapse 0.99 and later will follow the .well-known URI, with the
+correct certificate chain.
+
+#### Can I manage my own certificates rather than having Synapse renew certificates itself?
+
+Yes, you are welcome to manage your certificates yourself. Synapse will only
+attempt to obtain certificates from Let's Encrypt if you configure it to do
+so.The only requirement is that there is a valid TLS cert present for
+federation end points.
+
+#### Do you still recommend against using a reverse proxy on the federation port?
+
+We no longer actively recommend against using a reverse proxy. Many admins will
+find it easier to direct federation traffic to a reverse proxy and manage their
+own TLS certificates, and this is a supported configuration.
+
+See [reverse_proxy.md](reverse_proxy.md) for information on setting up a
+reverse proxy.
+
+#### Do I still need to give my TLS certificates to Synapse if I am using a reverse proxy?
+
+Practically speaking, this is no longer necessary.
+
+If you are using a reverse proxy for all of your TLS traffic, then you can set
+`no_tls: True` in the Synapse config. In that case, the only reason Synapse
+needs the certificate is to populate a legacy `tls_fingerprints` field in the
+federation API. This is ignored by Synapse 0.99.0 and later, and the only time
+pre-0.99 Synapses will check it is when attempting to fetch the server keys -
+and generally this is delegated via `matrix.org`, which will be running a modern
+version of Synapse.
+
+#### Do I need the same certificate for the client and federation port?
+
+No. There is nothing stopping you from using different certificates,
+particularly if you are using a reverse proxy. However, Synapse will use the
+same certificate on any ports where TLS is configured.

-# Message retention policies
-
-Synapse admins can enable support for message retention policies on
-their homeserver. Message retention policies exist at a room level,
-follow the semantics described in
-[MSC1763](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/matthew/msc1763/proposals/1763-configurable-retention-periods.md),
-and allow server and room admins to configure how long messages should
-be kept in a homeserver's database before being purged from it.
-**Please note that, as this feature isn't part of the Matrix
-specification yet, this implementation is to be considered as
-experimental.** 
-
-A message retention policy is mainly defined by its `max_lifetime`
-parameter, which defines how long a message can be kept around after
-it was sent to the room. If a room doesn't have a message retention
-policy, and there's no default one for a given server, then no message
-sent in that room is ever purged on that server.
-
-MSC1763 also specifies semantics for a `min_lifetime` parameter which
-defines the amount of time after which an event _can_ get purged (after
-it was sent to the room), but Synapse doesn't currently support it
-beyond registering it.
-
-Both `max_lifetime` and `min_lifetime` are optional parameters.
-
-Note that message retention policies don't apply to state events.
-
-Once an event reaches its expiry date (defined as the time it was sent
-plus the value for `max_lifetime` in the room), two things happen:
-
-* Synapse stops serving the event to clients via any endpoint.
-* The message gets picked up by the next purge job (see the "Purge jobs"
-  section) and is removed from Synapse's database.
-
-Since purge jobs don't run continuously, this means that an event might
-stay in a server's database for longer than the value for `max_lifetime`
-in the room would allow, though hidden from clients.
-
-Similarly, if a server (with support for message retention policies
-enabled) receives from another server an event that should have been
-purged according to its room's policy, then the receiving server will
-process and store that event until it's picked up by the next purge job,
-though it will always hide it from clients.
-
-Synapse requires at least one message in each room, so it will never
-delete the last message in a room. It will, however, hide it from
-clients.
-
-
-## Server configuration
-
-Support for this feature can be enabled and configured in the
-`retention` section of the Synapse configuration file (see the
-[sample file](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.7.3/docs/sample_config.yaml#L332-L393)).
-
-To enable support for message retention policies, set the setting
-`enabled` in this section to `true`.
-
-
-### Default policy
-
-A default message retention policy is a policy defined in Synapse's
-configuration that is used by Synapse for every room that doesn't have a
-message retention policy configured in its state. This allows server
-admins to ensure that messages are never kept indefinitely in a server's
-database. 
-
-A default policy can be defined as such, in the `retention` section of
-the configuration file:
-
-```yaml
-  default_policy:
-    min_lifetime: 1d
-    max_lifetime: 1y
-```
-
-Here, `min_lifetime` and `max_lifetime` have the same meaning and level
-of support as previously described. They can be expressed either as a
-duration (using the units `s` (seconds), `m` (minutes), `h` (hours),
-`d` (days), `w` (weeks) and `y` (years)) or as a number of milliseconds.
-
-
-### Purge jobs
-
-Purge jobs are the jobs that Synapse runs in the background to purge
-expired events from the database. They are only run if support for
-message retention policies is enabled in the server's configuration. If
-no configuration for purge jobs is configured by the server admin,
-Synapse will use a default configuration, which is described in the
-[sample configuration file](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/sample_config.yaml#L332-L393).
-
-Some server admins might want a finer control on when events are removed
-depending on an event's room's policy. This can be done by setting the
-`purge_jobs` sub-section in the `retention` section of the configuration
-file. An example of such configuration could be:
-
-```yaml
-  purge_jobs:
-    - longest_max_lifetime: 3d
-      interval: 12h
-    - shortest_max_lifetime: 3d
-      longest_max_lifetime: 1w
-      interval: 1d
-    - shortest_max_lifetime: 1w
-      interval: 2d
-```
-
-In this example, we define three jobs:
-
-* one that runs twice a day (every 12 hours) and purges events in rooms
-  which policy's `max_lifetime` is lower or equal to 3 days.
-* one that runs once a day and purges events in rooms which policy's
-  `max_lifetime` is between 3 days and a week.
-* one that runs once every 2 days and purges events in rooms which
-  policy's `max_lifetime` is greater than a week.
-
-Note that this example is tailored to show different configurations and
-features slightly more jobs than it's probably necessary (in practice, a
-server admin would probably consider it better to replace the two last
-jobs with one that runs once a day and handles rooms which which
-policy's `max_lifetime` is greater than 3 days).
-
-Keep in mind, when configuring these jobs, that a purge job can become
-quite heavy on the server if it targets many rooms, therefore prefer
-having jobs with a low interval that target a limited set of rooms. Also
-make sure to include a job with no minimum and one with no maximum to
-make sure your configuration handles every policy.
-
-As previously mentioned in this documentation, while a purge job that
-runs e.g. every day means that an expired event might stay in the
-database for up to a day after its expiry, Synapse hides expired events
-from clients as soon as they expire, so the event is not visible to
-local users between its expiry date and the moment it gets purged from
-the server's database.
-
-
-### Lifetime limits
-
-**Note: this feature is mainly useful within a closed federation or on
-servers that don't federate, because there currently is no way to
-enforce these limits in an open federation.**
-
-Server admins can restrict the values their local users are allowed to
-use for both `min_lifetime` and `max_lifetime`. These limits can be
-defined as such in the `retention` section of the configuration file:
-
-```yaml
-  allowed_lifetime_min: 1d
-  allowed_lifetime_max: 1y
-```
-
-Here, `allowed_lifetime_min` is the lowest value a local user can set
-for both `min_lifetime` and `max_lifetime`, and `allowed_lifetime_max`
-is the highest value. Both parameters are optional (e.g. setting
-`allowed_lifetime_min` but not `allowed_lifetime_max` only enforces a
-minimum and no maximum).
-
-Like other settings in this section, these parameters can be expressed
-either as a duration or as a number of milliseconds.
-
-
-## Room configuration
-
-To configure a room's message retention policy, a room's admin or
-moderator needs to send a state event in that room with the type
-`m.room.retention` and the following content:
-
-```json
-{
-    "max_lifetime": ...
-}
-```
-
-In this event's content, the `max_lifetime` parameter has the same
-meaning as previously described, and needs to be expressed in
-milliseconds. The event's content can also include a `min_lifetime`
-parameter, which has the same meaning and limited support as previously
-described.
-
-Note that over every server in the room, only the ones with support for
-message retention policies will actually remove expired events. This
-support is currently not enabled by default in Synapse.
-
-
-## Note on reclaiming disk space
-
-While purge jobs actually delete data from the database, the disk space
-used by the database might not decrease immediately on the database's
-host. However, even though the database engine won't free up the disk
-space, it will start writing new data into where the purged data was.
-
-If you want to reclaim the freed disk space anyway and return it to the
-operating system, the server admin needs to run `VACUUM FULL;` (or
-`VACUUM;` for SQLite databases) on Synapse's database (see the related
-[PostgreSQL documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-vacuum.html)).

-# Handling spam in Synapse
-
-Synapse has support to customize spam checking behavior. It can plug into a
-variety of events and affect how they are presented to users on your homeserver.
-
-The spam checking behavior is implemented as a Python class, which must be
-able to be imported by the running Synapse.
-
-## Python spam checker class
-
-The Python class is instantiated with two objects:
-
-* Any configuration (see below).
-* An instance of `synapse.spam_checker_api.SpamCheckerApi`.
-
-It then implements methods which return a boolean to alter behavior in Synapse.
-
-There's a generic method for checking every event (`check_event_for_spam`), as
-well as some specific methods:
-
-* `user_may_invite`
-* `user_may_create_room`
-* `user_may_create_room_alias`
-* `user_may_publish_room`
-
-The details of the each of these methods (as well as their inputs and outputs)
-are documented in the `synapse.events.spamcheck.SpamChecker` class.
-
-The `SpamCheckerApi` class provides a way for the custom spam checker class to
-call back into the homeserver internals. It currently implements the following
-methods:
-
-* `get_state_events_in_room`
-
-### Example
-
-```python
-class ExampleSpamChecker:
-    def __init__(self, config, api):
-        self.config = config
-        self.api = api
-
-    def check_event_for_spam(self, foo):
-        return False  # allow all events
-
-    def user_may_invite(self, inviter_userid, invitee_userid, room_id):
-        return True  # allow all invites
-
-    def user_may_create_room(self, userid):
-        return True  # allow all room creations
-
-    def user_may_create_room_alias(self, userid, room_alias):
-        return True  # allow all room aliases
-
-    def user_may_publish_room(self, userid, room_id):
-        return True  # allow publishing of all rooms
-
-    def check_username_for_spam(self, user_profile):
-        return False  # allow all usernames
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-Modify the `spam_checker` section of your `homeserver.yaml` in the following
-manner:
-
-Create a list entry with the keys `module` and `config`.
-
-* `module` should point to the fully qualified Python class that implements your
-  custom logic, e.g. `my_module.ExampleSpamChecker`.
-
-* `config` is a dictionary that gets passed to the spam checker class.
-
-### Example
-
-This section might look like:
-
-```yaml
-spam_checker:
-  - module: my_module.ExampleSpamChecker
-    config:
-      # Enable or disable a specific option in ExampleSpamChecker.
-      my_custom_option: true
-```
-
-More spam checkers can be added in tandem by appending more items to the list. An
-action is blocked when at least one of the configured spam checkers flags it.
-
-## Examples
-
-The [Mjolnir](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir) project is a full fledged
-example using the Synapse spam checking API, including a bot for dynamic
-configuration.

-# SSO Mapping Providers
-
-A mapping provider is a Python class (loaded via a Python module) that
-works out how to map attributes of a SSO response to Matrix-specific
-user attributes. Details such as user ID localpart, displayname, and even avatar
-URLs are all things that can be mapped from talking to a SSO service.
-
-As an example, a SSO service may return the email address
-"john.smith@example.com" for a user, whereas Synapse will need to figure out how
-to turn that into a displayname when creating a Matrix user for this individual.
-It may choose `John Smith`, or `Smith, John [Example.com]` or any number of
-variations. As each Synapse configuration may want something different, this is
-where SAML mapping providers come into play.
-
-SSO mapping providers are currently supported for OpenID and SAML SSO
-configurations. Please see the details below for how to implement your own.
-
-External mapping providers are provided to Synapse in the form of an external
-Python module. You can retrieve this module from [PyPi](https://pypi.org) or elsewhere,
-but it must be importable via Synapse (e.g. it must be in the same virtualenv
-as Synapse). The Synapse config is then modified to point to the mapping provider
-(and optionally provide additional configuration for it).
-
-## OpenID Mapping Providers
-
-The OpenID mapping provider can be customized by editing the
-`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module` config option.
-
-`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.config` allows you to provide custom
-configuration options to the module. Check with the module's documentation for
-what options it provides (if any). The options listed by default are for the
-user mapping provider built in to Synapse. If using a custom module, you should
-comment these options out and use those specified by the module instead.
-
-### Building a Custom OpenID Mapping Provider
-
-A custom mapping provider must specify the following methods:
-
-* `__init__(self, parsed_config)`
-   - Arguments:
-     - `parsed_config` - A configuration object that is the return value of the
-       `parse_config` method. You should set any configuration options needed by
-       the module here.
-* `parse_config(config)`
-    - This method should have the `@staticmethod` decoration.
-    - Arguments:
-        - `config` - A `dict` representing the parsed content of the
-          `oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.config` homeserver config option.
-           Runs on homeserver startup. Providers should extract and validate
-           any option values they need here.
-    - Whatever is returned will be passed back to the user mapping provider module's
-      `__init__` method during construction.
-* `get_remote_user_id(self, userinfo)`
-    - Arguments:
-      - `userinfo` - A `authlib.oidc.core.claims.UserInfo` object to extract user
-                     information from.
-    - This method must return a string, which is the unique identifier for the
-      user. Commonly the ``sub`` claim of the response.
-* `map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token)`
-    - This method should be async.
-    - Arguments:
-      - `userinfo` - A `authlib.oidc.core.claims.UserInfo` object to extract user
-                     information from.
-      - `token` - A dictionary which includes information necessary to make
-                  further requests to the OpenID provider.
-    - Returns a dictionary with two keys:
-      - localpart: A required string, used to generate the Matrix ID.
-      - displayname: An optional string, the display name for the user.
-
-### Default OpenID Mapping Provider
-
-Synapse has a built-in OpenID mapping provider if a custom provider isn't
-specified in the config. It is located at
-[`synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider`](../synapse/handlers/oidc_handler.py).
-
-## SAML Mapping Providers
-
-The SAML mapping provider can be customized by editing the
-`saml2_config.user_mapping_provider.module` config option.
-
-`saml2_config.user_mapping_provider.config` allows you to provide custom
-configuration options to the module. Check with the module's documentation for
-what options it provides (if any). The options listed by default are for the
-user mapping provider built in to Synapse. If using a custom module, you should
-comment these options out and use those specified by the module instead.
-
-### Building a Custom SAML Mapping Provider
-
-A custom mapping provider must specify the following methods:
-
-* `__init__(self, parsed_config)`
-   - Arguments:
-     - `parsed_config` - A configuration object that is the return value of the
-       `parse_config` method. You should set any configuration options needed by
-       the module here.
-* `parse_config(config)`
-    - This method should have the `@staticmethod` decoration.
-    - Arguments:
-        - `config` - A `dict` representing the parsed content of the
-          `saml_config.user_mapping_provider.config` homeserver config option.
-           Runs on homeserver startup. Providers should extract and validate
-           any option values they need here.
-    - Whatever is returned will be passed back to the user mapping provider module's
-      `__init__` method during construction.
-* `get_saml_attributes(config)`
-    - This method should have the `@staticmethod` decoration.
-    - Arguments:
-        - `config` - A object resulting from a call to `parse_config`.
-    - Returns a tuple of two sets. The first set equates to the SAML auth
-      response attributes that are required for the module to function, whereas
-      the second set consists of those attributes which can be used if available,
-      but are not necessary.
-* `get_remote_user_id(self, saml_response, client_redirect_url)`
-    - Arguments:
-      - `saml_response` - A `saml2.response.AuthnResponse` object to extract user
-                          information from.
-      - `client_redirect_url` - A string, the URL that the client will be
-                                redirected to.
-    - This method must return a string, which is the unique identifier for the
-      user. Commonly the ``uid`` claim of the response.
-* `saml_response_to_user_attributes(self, saml_response, failures, client_redirect_url)`
-    - Arguments:
-      - `saml_response` - A `saml2.response.AuthnResponse` object to extract user
-                          information from.
-      - `failures` - An `int` that represents the amount of times the returned
-                     mxid localpart mapping has failed.  This should be used
-                     to create a deduplicated mxid localpart which should be
-                     returned instead. For example, if this method returns
-                     `john.doe` as the value of `mxid_localpart` in the returned
-                     dict, and that is already taken on the homeserver, this
-                     method will be called again with the same parameters but
-                     with failures=1. The method should then return a different
-                     `mxid_localpart` value, such as `john.doe1`.
-      - `client_redirect_url` - A string, the URL that the client will be
-                                redirected to.
-    - This method must return a dictionary, which will then be used by Synapse
-      to build a new user. The following keys are allowed:
-       * `mxid_localpart` - Required. The mxid localpart of the new user.
-       * `displayname` - The displayname of the new user. If not provided, will default to
-                         the value of `mxid_localpart`.
-
-### Default SAML Mapping Provider

-Synapse has a built-in SAML mapping provider if a custom provider isn't
-specified in the config. It is located at
-[`synapse.handlers.saml_handler.DefaultSamlMappingProvider`](../synapse/handlers/saml_handler.py).

-# Setting up Synapse with Workers and Systemd
-
-This is a setup for managing synapse with systemd, including support for
-managing workers. It provides a `matrix-synapse` service for the master, as
-well as a `matrix-synapse-worker@` service template for any workers you
-require. Additionally, to group the required services, it sets up a
-`matrix-synapse.target`.
-
-See the folder [system](system) for the systemd unit files.
-
-The folder [workers](workers) contains an example configuration for the
-`federation_reader` worker.
-
-## Synapse configuration files
-
-See [workers.md](../workers.md) for information on how to set up the
-configuration files and reverse-proxy correctly. You can find an example worker
-config in the [workers](workers) folder.
-
-Systemd manages daemonization itself, so ensure that none of the configuration
-files set either `daemonize` or `worker_daemonize`.
-
-The config files of all workers are expected to be located in
-`/etc/matrix-synapse/workers`. If you want to use a different location, edit
-the provided `*.service` files accordingly.
-
-There is no need for a separate configuration file for the master process.
-
-## Set up
-
-1. Adjust synapse configuration files as above.
-1. Copy the `*.service` and `*.target` files in [system](system) to
-`/etc/systemd/system`.
-1. Run `systemctl deamon-reload` to tell systemd to load the new unit files.
-1. Run `systemctl enable matrix-synapse.service`. This will configure the
-synapse master process to be started as part of the `matrix-synapse.target`
-target.
-1. For each worker process to be enabled, run `systemctl enable
-matrix-synapse-worker@<worker_name>.service`. For each `<worker_name>`, there
-should be a corresponding configuration file
-`/etc/matrix-synapse/workers/<worker_name>.yaml`.
-1. Start all the synapse processes with `systemctl start matrix-synapse.target`.
-1. Tell systemd to start synapse on boot with `systemctl enable matrix-synapse.target`/
-
-## Usage
-
-Once the services are correctly set up, you can use the following commands
-to manage your synapse installation:
-
-```sh
-# Restart Synapse master and all workers
-systemctl restart matrix-synapse.target
-
-# Stop Synapse and all workers
-systemctl stop matrix-synapse.target
-
-# Restart the master alone
-systemctl start matrix-synapse.service
-
-# Restart a specific worker (eg. federation_reader); the master is
-# unaffected by this.
-systemctl restart matrix-synapse-worker@federation_reader.service
-
-# Add a new worker (assuming all configs are set up already)
-systemctl enable matrix-synapse-worker@federation_writer.service
-systemctl restart matrix-synapse.target
-```

-### **Experimental** support for replication over redis
-
-As of Synapse v1.13.0, it is possible to configure Synapse to send replication
-via a [Redis pub/sub channel](https://redis.io/topics/pubsub). This is an
-alternative to direct TCP connections to the master: rather than all the
-workers connecting to the master, all the workers and the master connect to
-Redis, which relays replication commands between processes. This can give a
-significant cpu saving on the master and will be a prerequisite for upcoming
-performance improvements.
-
-Note that this support is currently experimental; you may experience lost
-messages and similar problems! It is strongly recommended that admins setting
-up workers for the first time use direct TCP replication as above.
-
-To configure Synapse to use Redis:
-
-1. Install Redis following the normal procedure for your distribution - for
-   example, on Debian, `apt install redis-server`. (It is safe to use an
-   existing Redis deployment if you have one: we use a pub/sub stream named
-   according to the `server_name` of your synapse server.)
-2. Check Redis is running and accessible: you should be able to `echo PING | nc -q1
-   localhost 6379` and get a response of `+PONG`.
-3. Install the python prerequisites. If you installed synapse into a
-   virtualenv, this can be done with:
-   ```sh
-   pip install matrix-synapse[redis]
-   ```
-   The debian packages from matrix.org already include the required
-   dependencies.
-4. Add config to the shared configuration (`homeserver.yaml`):
-    ```yaml
-    redis:
-      enabled: true
-    ```
-    Optional parameters which can go alongside `enabled` are `host`, `port`,
-    `password`. Normally none of these are required.
-5. Restart master and all workers.
-
-Once redis replication is in use, `worker_replication_port` is redundant and
-can be removed from the worker configuration files. Similarly, the
-configuration for the `listener` for the TCP replication port can be removed
-from the main configuration file. Note that the HTTP replication port is
-still required.
-
-### Using synctl
-
-If you want to use `synctl` to manage your synapse processes, you will need to
-create an an additional configuration file for the master synapse process. That
-configuration should look like this:
-
-```yaml
-worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver
-```
-
-Additionally, each worker app must be configured with the name of a "pid file",
-to which it will write its process ID when it starts. For example, for a
-synchrotron, you might write:
-
-```yaml
-worker_pid_file: /home/matrix/synapse/synchrotron.pid

 The above endpoints should all be routed to the federation_reader worker by the
 reverse-proxy configuration.
 
 The `^/_matrix/federation/v1/send/` endpoint must only be handled by a single
 instance.
