<h1 id="upgrading-synapse"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-synapse">Upgrading Synapse</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Before upgrading check if any special steps are required to upgrade from the
|
|
version you currently have installed to the current version of Synapse. The extra
|
|
instructions that may be required are listed later in this document.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Check that your versions of Python and PostgreSQL are still supported.</p>
|
|
<p>Synapse follows upstream lifecycles for <code>Python</code>_ and <code>PostgreSQL</code>_, and
|
|
removes support for versions which are no longer maintained.</p>
|
|
<p>The website https://endoflife.date also offers convenient summaries.</p>
|
|
<p>.. _Python: https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#end-of-life-branches
|
|
.. _PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>If Synapse was installed using <code>prebuilt packages <INSTALL.md#prebuilt-packages></code>_, you will need to follow the normal process
|
|
for upgrading those packages.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>If Synapse was installed from source, then:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Activate the virtualenv before upgrading. For example, if Synapse is
|
|
installed in a virtualenv in <code>~/synapse/env</code> then run:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: bash</p>
|
|
<p>source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>If Synapse was installed using pip then upgrade to the latest version by
|
|
running:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: bash</p>
|
|
<p>pip install --upgrade matrix-synapse</p>
|
|
<p>If Synapse was installed using git then upgrade to the latest version by
|
|
running:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: bash</p>
|
|
<p>git pull
|
|
pip install --upgrade .</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Restart Synapse:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: bash</p>
|
|
<p>./synctl restart</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>To check whether your update was successful, you can check the running server
|
|
version with:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: bash</p>
|
|
<pre><code># you may need to replace 'localhost:8008' if synapse is not configured
|
|
# to listen on port 8008.
|
|
|
|
curl http://localhost:8008/_synapse/admin/v1/server_version
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h2 id="rolling-back-to-older-versions"><a class="header" href="#rolling-back-to-older-versions">Rolling back to older versions</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Rolling back to previous releases can be difficult, due to database schema
|
|
changes between releases. Where we have been able to test the rollback process,
|
|
this will be noted below.</p>
|
|
<p>In general, you will need to undo any changes made during the upgrade process,
|
|
for example:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>pip:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: bash</p>
|
|
<p>source env/bin/activate</p>
|
|
<h1 id="replace-130-accordingly"><a class="header" href="#replace-130-accordingly">replace <code>1.3.0</code> accordingly:</a></h1>

<p>pip install matrix-synapse==1.3.0</p>

</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Debian:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: bash</p>
|
|
<h1 id="replace-130-and-stretch-accordingly"><a class="header" href="#replace-130-and-stretch-accordingly">replace <code>1.3.0</code> and <code>stretch</code> accordingly:</a></h1>

|
<h2 id="deprecation-of-the-current-spam-checker-interface"><a class="header" href="#deprecation-of-the-current-spam-checker-interface">Deprecation of the current spam checker interface</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The current spam checker interface is deprecated in favour of a new generic modules system.
|
|
Authors of spam checker modules can refer to <code>this documentation <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/modules.html#porting-an-existing-module-that-uses-the-old-interface></code>_
|
|
to update their modules. Synapse administrators can refer to <code>this documentation <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/modules.html#using-modules></code>_
|
|
to update their configuration once the modules they are using have been updated.</p>
|
|
<p>We plan to remove support for the current spam checker interface in August 2021.</p>
|
|
<p>More module interfaces will be ported over to this new generic system in future versions
|
|
of Synapse.</p>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v1340"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v1340">Upgrading to v1.34.0</a></h1>
|
|
<h2 id="room_invite_state_types-configuration-setting"><a class="header" href="#room_invite_state_types-configuration-setting"><code>room_invite_state_types</code> configuration setting</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The <code>room_invite_state_types</code> configuration setting has been deprecated and
|
|
replaced with <code>room_prejoin_state</code>. See the <code>sample configuration file <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.34.0/docs/sample_config.yaml#L1515></code>_.</p>
|
|
<p>If you have set <code>room_invite_state_types</code> to the default value you should simply
|
|
remove it from your configuration file. The default value used to be:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: yaml</p>
|
|
<p>room_invite_state_types:
|
|
- "m.room.join_rules"
|
|
- "m.room.canonical_alias"
|
|
- "m.room.avatar"
|
|
- "m.room.encryption"
|
|
- "m.room.name"</p>
|
|
<p>If you have customised this value, you should remove <code>room_invite_state_types</code> and
|
|
configure <code>room_prejoin_state</code> instead.</p>
|
|

<h2 id="account-validity-html-templates-can-now-display-a-users-expiration-date"><a class="header" href="#account-validity-html-templates-can-now-display-a-users-expiration-date">Account Validity HTML templates can now display a user's expiration date</a></h2>
|
|
<p>This may affect you if you have enabled the account validity feature, and have made use of a
|
|
custom HTML template specified by the <code>account_validity.template_dir</code> or <code>account_validity.account_renewed_html_path</code>
|
|
Synapse config options.</p>
|
|
<p>The template can now accept an <code>expiration_ts</code> variable, which represents the unix timestamp in milliseconds for the
|
|
future date of which their account has been renewed until. See the

<p>ALso note that a new HTML template, <code>account_previously_renewed.html</code>, has been added. This is is shown to users

and can also accept an <code>expiration_ts</code> variable. This template replaces the error message users would previously see
|
|
upon attempting to use a valid renewal token more than once.</p>

|
|
<p>When using Synapse with a reverse proxy (in particular, when using the

|
<code>x_forwarded</code> option on an HTTP listener), Synapse now expects to receive an
|
|
<code>X-Forwarded-Proto</code> header on incoming HTTP requests. If it is not set, Synapse
|
|
will log a warning on each received request.</p>
|
|
<p>To avoid the warning, administrators using a reverse proxy should ensure that
|
|
the reverse proxy sets <code>X-Forwarded-Proto</code> header to <code>https</code> or <code>http</code> to
|
|
indicate the protocol used by the client.</p>
|
|
<p>Synapse also requires the <code>Host</code> header to be preserved.</p>
|
|
<p>See the <code>reverse proxy documentation <docs/reverse_proxy.md></code>_, where the
|
|
example configurations have been updated to show how to set these headers.</p>
|
|
<p>(Users of <code>Caddy <https://caddyserver.com/></code>_ are unaffected, since we believe it
|

sets <code>X-Forwarded-Proto</code> by default.)</p>

<p>This version changes the URI used for callbacks from OAuth2 and SAML2 identity providers:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>If your server is configured for single sign-on via an OpenID Connect or OAuth2 identity
|
|
provider, you will need to add <code>[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback</code>
|
|
to the list of permitted "redirect URIs" at the identity provider.</p>
|
|
<p>See <code>docs/openid.md <docs/openid.md></code>_ for more information on setting up OpenID
|
|
Connect.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>If your server is configured for single sign-on via a SAML2 identity provider, you will
|
|
need to add <code>[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/authn_response</code> as a permitted
|
|
"ACS location" (also known as "allowed callback URLs") at the identity provider.</p>
|
|
<p>The "Issuer" in the "AuthnRequest" to the SAML2 identity provider is also updated to
|
|
<code>[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/metadata.xml</code>. If your SAML2 identity
|
|
provider uses this property to validate or otherwise identify Synapse, its configuration
|
|
will need to be updated to use the new URL. Alternatively you could create a new, separate
|
|
"EntityDescriptor" in your SAML2 identity provider with the new URLs and leave the URLs in

the existing "EntityDescriptor" as they were.</p>

<p>v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you

may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.26.0 also
|
|
includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required

|
alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
|
|
back to v1.25.0 you need to:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Stop the server</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>

|
<p>DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;
|
|
DELETE FROM event_auth_chains;</p>
|
|
</li>
|

<h2 id="blacklisting-ip-ranges"><a class="header" href="#blacklisting-ip-ranges">Blacklisting IP ranges</a></h2>

<p>Synapse v1.25.0 includes new settings, <code>ip_range_blacklist</code> and

<code>ip_range_whitelist</code>, for controlling outgoing requests from Synapse for federation,
|
|
identity servers, push, and for checking key validity for third-party invite events.
|
|
The previous setting, <code>federation_ip_range_blacklist</code>, is deprecated. The new
|
|
<code>ip_range_blacklist</code> defaults to private IP ranges if it is not defined.</p>
|
|
<p>If you have never customised <code>federation_ip_range_blacklist</code> it is recommended

|
that you remove that setting.</p>
|
|
<p>If you have customised <code>federation_ip_range_blacklist</code> you should update the

|
|
<p>This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform normalisation
|
|
of the localpart of the Matrix ID. This allows for the mapping provider to
|
|
specify different algorithms, instead of the <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets">default way</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
|
|
(<code>oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module</code> is specified and not equal to
|
|
<code>synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider</code>) then you <em>must</em> ensure
|
|
that <code>map_user_attributes</code> of the mapping provider performs some normalisation
|
|
of the <code>localpart</code> returned. To match previous behaviour you can use the
|
|
<code>map_username_to_mxid_localpart</code> function provided by Synapse. An example is
|
|
shown below:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code-block:: python</p>
|
|
<p>from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart</p>
|
|
<p>class MyMappingProvider:
|
|
def map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token):
|
|
# ... your custom logic ...
|
|
sso_user_id = ...
|
|
localpart = map_username_to_mxid_localpart(sso_user_id)</p>

<p>Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>/_matrix/client/unstable/admin</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>/_matrix/client/r0/admin</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>/_synapse/admin/v1</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The endpoints with <code>/_matrix/client/*</code> prefixes have been removed as of v1.24.0.
|
|
The Admin API is now only accessible under:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>/_synapse/admin/v1</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The only exception is the <code>/admin/whois</code> endpoint, which is

|
<code>also available via the client-server API <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-admin-whois-userid></code>_.</p>
|
|
<p>The deprecation of the old endpoints was announced with Synapse 1.20.0 (released
|
|
on 2020-09-22) and makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external
|
|
access to the Admin API endpoints.</p>

|
|
<p>The <code>structured</code> and <code>drains</code> logging options are now deprecated and should

|
|
<code>third_party_event_rules</code> config option, please make sure it is updated to handle

|
the below change:</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>http_client</code> argument is no longer passed to modules as they are initialised. Instead,
|
|
modules are expected to make use of the <code>http_client</code> property on the <code>ModuleApi</code> class.
|
|
Modules are now passed a <code>module_api</code> argument during initialisation, which is an instance of
|
|
<code>ModuleApi</code>. <code>ModuleApi</code> instances have a <code>http_client</code> property which acts the same as
|
|
the <code>http_client</code> argument previously passed to <code>ThirdPartyEventRules</code> modules.</p>

|
|
<p>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:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Stop the server</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>

|
<p>.. code:: sql</p>
|
|
<p>UPDATE schema_version SET version = 57;</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
|
|
in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.</p>

</ol>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v1120"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v1120">Upgrading to v1.12.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>This is only likely to be a problem in the case of a server which is
|
|
participating in many rooms.</p>
|
|
<ol start="0">
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>As an initial check to see if you will be affected, you can try running the
|
|
following query from the <code>psql</code> or <code>sqlite3</code> console. It is safe to run it
|
|
while Synapse is still running.</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: sql</p>
|
|
<p>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;</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>If you would prefer to reduce the downtime, continue with the steps below.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The easiest workaround for this issue is to manually
|
|
create a new index before upgrading. On PostgreSQL, his can be done as follows:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: sql</p>
|
|
<p>CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index
|
|
ON state_events(room_id) WHERE type = 'm.room.create';</p>
|
|
<p>The above query may take some time, but is also safe to run while Synapse is
|
|
running.</p>
|
|
<p>We assume that no SQLite users have databases large enough to be
|
|
affected. If you <em>are</em> affected, you can run a similar query, omitting the
|
|
<code>CONCURRENTLY</code> keyword. Note however that this operation may in itself cause
|
|
Synapse to stop running for some time. Synapse admins are reminded that
|
|
<code>SQLite is not recommended for use outside a test environment <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/README.rst#using-postgresql></code>_.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Once the index has been created, the <code>SELECT</code> query in step 1 above should
|
|
complete quickly. It is therefore safe to upgrade to Synapse 1.12.0.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Once Synapse 1.12.0 has successfully started and is responding to HTTP
|
|
requests, the temporary index can be removed:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: sql</p>
|
|
<p>DROP INDEX tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index;</p>
|
|
</li>

<p>In an attempt to configure Synapse in a privacy preserving way, the default

|
behaviours of <code>allow_public_rooms_without_auth</code> and
|
|
<code>allow_public_rooms_over_federation</code> 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.</p>
|
|
<p>If your installation does not explicitly set these settings one way or the other
|
|
and you want either setting to be <code>true</code> then it will necessary to update

your homeserver configuration file accordingly.</p>

<h2 id="3pid-verification-changes"><a class="header" href="#3pid-verification-changes">3pid verification changes</a></h2>
|
|
<p><strong>Note: As of this release, users will be unable to add phone numbers or email
|
|
addresses to their accounts, without changes to the Synapse configuration. This
|
|
includes adding an email address during registration.</strong></p>
|
|
<p>It is possible for a user to associate an email address or phone number
|
|
with their account, for a number of reasons:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>for use when logging in, as an alternative to the user id.</li>
|
|
<li>in the case of email, as an alternative contact to help with account recovery.</li>
|
|
<li>in the case of email, to receive notifications of missed messages.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Before an email address or phone number can be added to a user's account,
|
|
or before such an address is used to carry out a password-reset, Synapse must
|
|
confirm the operation with the owner of the email address or phone number.
|
|
It does this by sending an email or text giving the user a link or token to confirm
|
|
receipt. This process is known as '3pid verification'. ('3pid', or 'threepid',
|
|
stands for third-party identifier, and we use it to refer to external
|
|
identifiers such as email addresses and phone numbers.)</p>
|
|
<p>Previous versions of Synapse delegated the task of 3pid verification to an
|
|
identity server by default. In most cases this server is <code>vector.im</code> or
|
|
<code>matrix.org</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>In Synapse 1.4.0, for security and privacy reasons, the homeserver will no
|
|
longer delegate this task to an identity server by default. Instead,
|
|
the server administrator will need to explicitly decide how they would like the
|
|
verification messages to be sent.</p>
|
|
<p>In the medium term, the <code>vector.im</code> and <code>matrix.org</code> identity servers will
|
|
disable support for delegated 3pid verification entirely. However, in order to
|
|
ease the transition, they will retain the capability for a limited
|
|
period. Delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December
|
|
2019 (giving roughly 2 months notice). Disabling delegated SMS verification
|
|
will follow some time after that once SMS verification support lands in
|
|
Synapse.</p>
|
|
<p>Once delegated 3pid verification support has been disabled in the <code>vector.im</code> and
|
|
<code>matrix.org</code> identity servers, all Synapse versions that depend on those
|
|
instances will be unable to verify email and phone numbers through them. There
|
|
are no imminent plans to remove delegated 3pid verification from Sydent
|
|
generally. (Sydent is the identity server project that backs the <code>vector.im</code> and
|
|
<code>matrix.org</code> instances).</p>
|
|
<p>Email</p>
|
|
<pre><code>Following upgrade, to continue verifying email (e.g. as part of the
|
|
registration process), admins can either:-
|
|
|
|
* Configure Synapse to use an email server.
|
|
* Run or choose an identity server which allows delegated email verification
|
|
and delegate to it.
|
|
|
|
Configure SMTP in Synapse
|
|
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
|
|
headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host, smtp_port``
|
|
and ``notif_from`` fields filled out.
|
|
|
|
You may also need to set ``smtp_user``, ``smtp_pass``, and
|
|
``require_transport_security``.
|
|
|
|
See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_ for more details
|
|
on these settings.
|
|
|
|
Delegate email to an identity server
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Some admins will wish to continue using email verification as part of the
|
|
registration process, but will not immediately have an appropriate SMTP server
|
|
at hand.
|
|
|
|
To this end, we will continue to support email verification delegation via the
|
|
``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` identity servers for two months. Support for
|
|
delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December.
|
|
|
|
The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
|
|
should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
|
|
<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
|
|
confirmation messages via email and SMS.
|
|
|
|
So to delegate email verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
|
|
``account_threepid_delegates.email`` to the base URL of an identity server. For
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: yaml
|
|
|
|
account_threepid_delegates:
|
|
email: https://example.com # Delegate email sending to example.com
|
|
|
|
Note that ``account_threepid_delegates.email`` replaces the deprecated
|
|
``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets``: if
|
|
``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is set to ``true``, and
|
|
``account_threepid_delegates.email`` is not set, then the first entry in
|
|
``trusted_third_party_id_servers`` will be used as the
|
|
``account_threepid_delegate`` for email. This is to ensure compatibility with
|
|
existing Synapse installs that set up external server handling for these tasks
|
|
before v1.4.0. If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is
|
|
``true`` and no trusted identity server domains are configured, Synapse will
|
|
report an error and refuse to start.
|
|
|
|
If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is ``false`` or absent
|
|
and no ``email`` delegate is configured in ``account_threepid_delegates``,
|
|
then Synapse will send email verification messages itself, using the configured
|
|
SMTP server (see above).
|
|
that type.
|
|
|
|
Phone numbers
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Synapse does not support phone-number verification itself, so the only way to
|
|
maintain the ability for users to add phone numbers to their accounts will be
|
|
by continuing to delegate phone number verification to the <code>matrix.org</code> and
|
|
<code>vector.im</code> identity servers (or another identity server that supports SMS
|
|
sending).</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>account_threepid_delegates</code> dictionary defines whether the homeserver
|
|
should delegate an external server (typically an <code>identity server <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1></code>_) to handle sending
|
|
confirmation messages via email and SMS.</p>
|
|
<p>So to delegate phone number verification, in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>, set
|
|
<code>account_threepid_delegates.msisdn</code> to the base URL of an identity
|
|
server. For example:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: yaml</p>
|
|
<p>account_threepid_delegates:
|
|
msisdn: https://example.com # Delegate sms sending to example.com</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>matrix.org</code> and <code>vector.im</code> identity servers will continue to support
|
|
delegated phone number verification via SMS until such time as it is possible
|
|
for admins to configure their servers to perform phone number verification
|
|
directly. More details will follow in a future release.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="rolling-back-to-v131"><a class="header" href="#rolling-back-to-v131">Rolling back to v1.3.1</a></h2>
|
|
<p>If you encounter problems with v1.4.0, it should be possible to roll back to
|
|
v1.3.1, subject to the following:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The 'room statistics' engine was heavily reworked in this release (see
|
|
<code>#5971 <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5971></code>_), including
|
|
significant changes to the database schema, which are not easily
|
|
reverted. This will cause the room statistics engine to stop updating when
|
|
you downgrade.</p>
|
|
<p>The room statistics are essentially unused in v1.3.1 (in future versions of
|
|
Synapse, they will be used to populate the room directory), so there should
|
|
be no loss of functionality. However, the statistics engine will write errors
|
|
to the logs, which can be avoided by setting the following in
|
|
<code>homeserver.yaml</code>:</p>
|
|
<p>.. code:: yaml</p>
|
|
<p>stats:
|
|
enabled: false</p>

<h2 id="validation-of-tls-certificates"><a class="header" href="#validation-of-tls-certificates">Validation of TLS certificates</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Synapse v1.0 is the first release to enforce
|
|
validation of TLS certificates for the federation API. It is therefore
|
|
essential that your certificates are correctly configured. See the <code>FAQ <docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md></code>_ for more information.</p>
|
|
<p>Note, v1.0 installations will also no longer be able to federate with servers
|
|
that have not correctly configured their certificates.</p>
|
|
<p>In rare cases, it may be desirable to disable certificate checking: for
|
|
example, it might be essential to be able to federate with a given legacy
|
|
server in a closed federation. This can be done in one of two ways:-</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Configure the global switch <code>federation_verify_certificates</code> to <code>false</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>Configure a whitelist of server domains to trust via <code>federation_certificate_verification_whitelist</code>.</li>
|
|
</ul>

<p>See the <code>sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml></code>_
|
|
for more details on these settings.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="email"><a class="header" href="#email">Email</a></h2>
|
|
<p>When a user requests a password reset, Synapse will send an email to the
|
|
user to confirm the request.</p>
|
|
<p>Previous versions of Synapse delegated the job of sending this email to an
|
|
identity server. If the identity server was somehow malicious or became
|
|
compromised, it would be theoretically possible to hijack an account through
|
|
this means.</p>
|
|
<p>Therefore, by default, Synapse v1.0 will send the confirmation email itself. If
|
|
Synapse is not configured with an SMTP server, password reset via email will be
|
|
disabled.</p>
|
|
<p>To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
|
|
headed <code>email</code>, and be sure to have at least the <code>smtp_host</code>, <code>smtp_port</code>
|
|
and <code>notif_from</code> fields filled out. You may also need to set <code>smtp_user</code>,
|
|
<code>smtp_pass</code>, and <code>require_transport_security</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>If you are absolutely certain that you wish to continue using an identity
|
|
server for password resets, set <code>trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code> to <code>true</code>.</p>

|
reset their password via email. <code>password_reset_success.html</code> and
|
|
<code>password_reset_failure.html</code> are HTML files that the content of which (assuming no redirect

|
URL is set) will be shown to the user after they attempt to click the link in the email sent

<p>Please be aware that, before Synapse v1.0 is released around March 2019, you
|
|
will need to replace any self-signed certificates with those verified by a
|
|
root CA. Information on how to do so can be found at <code>the ACME docs <docs/ACME.md></code>_.</p>
|
|
<p>For more information on configuring TLS certificates see the <code>FAQ <docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md></code>_.</p>

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

<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0337"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0337">Upgrading to v0.33.7</a></h1>
|
|
<p>This release removes the example email notification templates from
|
|
<code>res/templates</code> (they are now internal to the python package). This should
|
|
only affect you if you (a) deploy your Synapse instance from a git checkout or
|
|
a github snapshot URL, and (b) have email notifications enabled.</p>
|
|
<p>If you have email notifications enabled, you should ensure that
|
|
<code>email.template_dir</code> is either configured to point at a directory where you
|
|
have installed customised templates, or leave it unset to use the default
|
|
templates.</p>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0273"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0273">Upgrading to v0.27.3</a></h1>
|
|
<p>This release expands the anonymous usage stats sent if the opt-in
|
|
<code>report_stats</code> configuration is set to <code>true</code>. We now capture RSS memory
|
|
and cpu use at a very coarse level. This requires administrators to install
|
|
the optional <code>psutil</code> python module.</p>
|
|
<p>We would appreciate it if you could assist by ensuring this module is available
|
|
and <code>report_stats</code> is enabled. This will let us see if performance changes to
|
|
synapse are having an impact to the general community.</p>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0150"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0150">Upgrading to v0.15.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>If you want to use the new URL previewing API (/_matrix/media/r0/preview_url)
|
|
then you have to explicitly enable it in the config and update your dependencies
|
|
dependencies. See README.rst for details.</p>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0110"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0110">Upgrading to v0.11.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>This release includes the option to send anonymous usage stats to matrix.org,
|
|
and requires that administrators explictly opt in or out by setting the
|
|
<code>report_stats</code> option to either <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>We would really appreciate it if you could help our project out by reporting
|
|
anonymized usage statistics from your homeserver. Only very basic aggregate
|
|
data (e.g. number of users) will be reported, but it helps us to track the
|
|
growth of the Matrix community, and helps us to make Matrix a success, as well
|
|
as to convince other networks that they should peer with us.</p>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v090"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v090">Upgrading to v0.9.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Application services have had a breaking API change in this version.</p>
|
|
<p>They can no longer register themselves with a home server using the AS HTTP API. This
|
|
decision was made because a compromised application service with free reign to register
|
|
any regex in effect grants full read/write access to the home server if a regex of <code>.*</code>
|
|
is used. An attack where a compromised AS re-registers itself with <code>.*</code> was deemed too
|
|
big of a security risk to ignore, and so the ability to register with the HS remotely has
|
|
been removed.</p>
|
|
<p>It has been replaced by specifying a list of application service registrations in
|
|
<code>homeserver.yaml</code>::</p>
|
|
<p>app_service_config_files: ["registration-01.yaml", "registration-02.yaml"]</p>
|
|
<p>Where <code>registration-01.yaml</code> looks like::</p>
|
|
<p>url: <String> # e.g. "https://my.application.service.com"
|
|
as_token: <String>
|
|
hs_token: <String>
|
|
sender_localpart: <String> # This is a new field which denotes the user_id localpart when using the AS token
|
|
namespaces:
|
|
users:
|
|
- exclusive: <Boolean>
|
|
regex: <String> # e.g. "@prefix_.*"
|
|
aliases:
|
|
- exclusive: <Boolean>
|
|
regex: <String>
|
|
rooms:
|
|
- exclusive: <Boolean>
|
|
regex: <String></p>
|

<h1 id="upgrading-to-v080"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v080">Upgrading to v0.8.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Servers which use captchas will need to add their public key to::</p>
|
|
<p>static/client/register/register_config.js</p>
|
|
<pre><code>window.matrixRegistrationConfig = {
|
|
recaptcha_public_key: "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
|
|
};
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>This is required in order to support registration fallback (typically used on
|
|
mobile devices).</p>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v070"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v070">Upgrading to v0.7.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>New dependencies are:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>pydenticon</li>
|
|
<li>simplejson</li>
|
|
<li>syutil</li>
|
|
<li>matrix-angular-sdk</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>To pull in these dependencies in a virtual env, run::</p>
|
|
<pre><code>python synapse/python_dependencies.py | xargs -n 1 pip install
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v060"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v060">Upgrading to v0.6.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>To pull in new dependencies, run::</p>
|
|
<pre><code>python setup.py develop --user
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>This update includes a change to the database schema. To upgrade you first need
|
|
to upgrade the database by running::</p>
|
|
<pre><code>python scripts/upgrade_db_to_v0.6.0.py <db> <server_name> <signing_key>
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Where <code><db></code> is the location of the database, <code><server_name></code> is the
|
|
server name as specified in the synapse configuration, and <code><signing_key></code> is
|
|
the location of the signing key as specified in the synapse configuration.</p>
|
|
<p>This may take some time to complete. Failures of signatures and content hashes
|
|
can safely be ignored.</p>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v051"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v051">Upgrading to v0.5.1</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Depending on precisely when you installed v0.5.0 you may have ended up with
|
|
a stale release of the reference matrix webclient installed as a python module.
|
|
To uninstall it and ensure you are depending on the latest module, please run::</p>
|
|
<pre><code>$ pip uninstall syweb
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v050"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v050">Upgrading to v0.5.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>The webclient has been split out into a seperate repository/pacakage in this
|
|
release. Before you restart your homeserver you will need to pull in the
|
|
webclient package by running::</p>
|
|
<p>python setup.py develop --user</p>
|
|
<p>This release completely changes the database schema and so requires upgrading
|
|
it before starting the new version of the homeserver.</p>
|
|
<p>The script "database-prepare-for-0.5.0.sh" should be used to upgrade the
|
|
database. This will save all user information, such as logins and profiles,
|
|
but will otherwise purge the database. This includes messages, which
|
|
rooms the home server was a member of and room alias mappings.</p>
|
|
<p>If you would like to keep your history, please take a copy of your database
|
|
file and ask for help in #matrix:matrix.org. The upgrade process is,
|
|
unfortunately, non trivial and requires human intervention to resolve any
|
|
resulting conflicts during the upgrade process.</p>
|
|
<p>Before running the command the homeserver should be first completely
|
|
shutdown. To run it, simply specify the location of the database, e.g.:</p>
|
|
<p>./scripts/database-prepare-for-0.5.0.sh "homeserver.db"</p>
|
|
<p>Once this has successfully completed it will be safe to restart the
|
|
homeserver. You may notice that the homeserver takes a few seconds longer to
|
|
restart than usual as it reinitializes the database.</p>
|
|
<p>On startup of the new version, users can either rejoin remote rooms using room
|
|
aliases or by being reinvited. Alternatively, if any other homeserver sends a
|
|
message to a room that the homeserver was previously in the local HS will
|
|
automatically rejoin the room.</p>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v040"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v040">Upgrading to v0.4.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>This release needs an updated syutil version. Run::</p>
|
|
<pre><code>python setup.py develop
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>You will also need to upgrade your configuration as the signing key format has
|
|
changed. Run::</p>
|
|
<pre><code>python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path <CONFIG> --generate-config
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v030"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v030">Upgrading to v0.3.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>This registration API now closely matches the login API. This introduces a bit
|
|
more backwards and forwards between the HS and the client, but this improves
|
|
the overall flexibility of the API. You can now GET on /register to retrieve a list
|
|
of valid registration flows. Upon choosing one, they are submitted in the same
|
|
way as login, e.g::</p>
|
|
<p>{
|
|
type: m.login.password,
|
|
user: foo,
|
|
password: bar
|
|
}</p>
|
|
<p>The default HS supports 2 flows, with and without Identity Server email
|
|
authentication. Enabling captcha on the HS will add in an extra step to all
|
|
flows: <code>m.login.recaptcha</code> which must be completed before you can transition
|
|
to the next stage. There is a new login type: <code>m.login.email.identity</code> which
|
|
contains the <code>threepidCreds</code> key which were previously sent in the original
|
|
register request. For more information on this, see the specification.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="web-client"><a class="header" href="#web-client">Web Client</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The VoIP specification has changed between v0.2.0 and v0.3.0. Users should
|
|
refresh any browser tabs to get the latest web client code. Users on
|
|
v0.2.0 of the web client will not be able to call those on v0.3.0 and
|
|
vice versa.</p>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v020"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v020">Upgrading to v0.2.0</a></h1>
|
|
<p>The home server now requires setting up of SSL config before it can run. To
|
|
automatically generate default config use::</p>
|
|
<pre><code>$ python synapse/app/homeserver.py \
|
|
--server-name machine.my.domain.name \
|
|
--bind-port 8448 \
|
|
--config-path homeserver.config \
|
|
--generate-config
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>This config can be edited if desired, for example to specify a different SSL
|
|
certificate to use. Once done you can run the home server using::</p>
|
|
<pre><code>$ python synapse/app/homeserver.py --config-path homeserver.config
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>See the README.rst for more information.</p>
|
|
<p>Also note that some config options have been renamed, including:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>"host" to "server-name"</li>
|
|
<li>"database" to "database-path"</li>
|
|
<li>"port" to "bind-port" and "unsecure-port"</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v001"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v001">Upgrading to v0.0.1</a></h1>
|
|
<p>This release completely changes the database schema and so requires upgrading
|
|
it before starting the new version of the homeserver.</p>
|
|
<p>The script "database-prepare-for-0.0.1.sh" should be used to upgrade the
|
|
database. This will save all user information, such as logins and profiles,
|
|
but will otherwise purge the database. This includes messages, which
|
|
rooms the home server was a member of and room alias mappings.</p>
|
|
<p>Before running the command the homeserver should be first completely
|
|
shutdown. To run it, simply specify the location of the database, e.g.:</p>
|
|
<p>./scripts/database-prepare-for-0.0.1.sh "homeserver.db"</p>
|
|
<p>Once this has successfully completed it will be safe to restart the
|
