## Fork differences
With [Awesome-Technologies/synapse-admin](https://github.com/Awesome-Technologies/synapse-admin) as the upstream, this
fork is intended to be a more feature-rich version of the original project. The main goal is to provide a more
user-friendly interface for managing Synapse homeservers.

### Development
`just run-dev` to start the development stack (depending on your system speed, you may want to re-run this command if
user creation fails)
After that open `http://localhost:5173` in your browser, login using the following credentials:
* Login: admin
* Password: admin
* Homeserver URL: http://localhost:8008
2024-09-25 19:26:26 +03:00
## Configuration
You can use `config.json` file to configure synapse-admin
The `config.json` can be injected into a Docker container using a bind mount.
```yml
services:
synapse-admin:
...
volumes:
./config.json:/app/config.json:ro
...
```
### Restricting available homeserver
You can restrict the homeserver(s), so that the user can no longer define it himself.
Edit `config.json` to restrict either to a single homeserver:
```json
{
"restrictBaseUrl": "https://your-matrixs-erver.example.com"
}
```
or to a list of homeservers:
```json
{
"restrictBaseUrl": ["https://your-first-matrix-server.example.com", "https://your-second-matrix-server.example.com"]
}
```
### Protecting appservice managed users
To avoid accidental adjustments of appservice-managed users (e.g., puppets created by a bridge) and breaking the bridge,
you can specify the list of MXIDs (regexp) that should be prohibited from any changes, except display name and avatar.
Example for [mautrix-telegram](https://github.com/mautrix/telegram)
```json
{
"asManagedUsers": ["^@telegram_[a-zA-Z0-9]+:example\\.com$"]
}
```
### Adding custom menu items
You can add custom menu items to the main menu by providing a `menu` array in the `config.json`.
```json
{
"menu": [
{
"label": "Contact support",
"icon": "SupportAgent",
"url": "https://github.com/etkecc/synapse-admin/issues"
}
]
}
```
Where `icon` is one of the [preloaded icons](./src/components/icons.ts)
2024-09-25 19:26:26 +03:00
### Providing support URL
**Deprecated**: use `menu` config option described above. Automatically migrated to the `menu` if the `supportURL` is present.
2024-10-24 21:49:00 +03:00
~~Synapse Admin provides a support link in the main menu - `Contact support`. By default, the link points to the GitHub issues page of the project. You can change this link by providing a `supportURL` in the `config.json`.~~
2024-09-25 19:26:26 +03:00
```json
{
"supportURL": "https://example.com/support"
}
```
2022-04-20 11:46:19 +03:00
## Usage
### Supported Synapse
It needs at least [Synapse](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse) v1.116.0 for all functions to work as expected!
You get your server version with the request `/_synapse/admin/v1/server_version`.
See also [Synapse version API](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/version_api.html).
After entering the URL on the login page of synapse-admin the server version appears below the input field.
2022-04-20 11:46:19 +03:00
### Prerequisites
You need access to the following endpoints:
- `/_matrix`
- `/_synapse/admin`
See also [Synapse administration endpoints](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/reverse_proxy.html#synapse-administration-endpoints)
2022-04-20 11:46:19 +03:00
### Use without install
You can use the current version of Synapse Admin without own installation direct
2024-09-25 19:26:26 +03:00
via [admin.etke.cc](https://admin.etke.cc).
2022-04-20 11:46:19 +03:00
**Note:**
If you want to use the deployment, you have to make sure that the admin endpoints (`/_synapse/admin`) are accessible for your browser.
**Remember: You have no need to expose these endpoints to the internet but to your network.**
If you want your own deployment, follow the [Step-By-Step Install Guide](#step-by-step-install) below.
2022-04-20 11:46:19 +03:00
### Step-By-Step install
You have three options:
1. [Download the tarball and serve with any webserver](#steps-for-1)
2. [Download the source code from github and run using nodejs](#steps-for-2)
3. [Run the Docker container](#steps-for-3)
2022-04-20 11:46:19 +03:00
#### Steps for 1)
- make sure you have a webserver installed that can serve static files (any webserver like nginx or apache will do)
- configure a vhost for synapse admin on your webserver
2024-09-25 19:26:26 +03:00
- download the .tar.gz [from the latest release](https://github.com/etkecc/synapse-admin/releases/latest)
- unpack the .tar.gz
2024-09-25 19:26:26 +03:00
- move or symlink the `synapse-admin` into your vhosts root dir
- open the url of the vhost in your browser
2022-04-20 11:46:19 +03:00
#### Steps for 2)
- make sure you have installed the following: git, yarn, nodejs
2024-09-25 19:26:26 +03:00
- download the source code: `git clone https://github.com/etkecc/synapse-admin.git`
- change into downloaded directory: `cd synapse-admin`
- download dependencies: `yarn install`
- start web server: `yarn start`
2022-04-20 11:46:19 +03:00
#### Steps for 3)
2024-09-25 19:26:26 +03:00
- run the Docker container from the public docker registry: `docker run -p 8080:80 ghcr.io/etkecc/synapse-admin` or use the [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml): `docker-compose up -d`
> note: if you're building on an architecture other than amd64 (for example a raspberry pi), make sure to define a maximum ram for node. otherwise the build will fail.
```yml
services:
synapse-admin:
container_name: synapse-admin
hostname: synapse-admin
build:
2024-09-25 19:26:26 +03:00
context: https://github.com/etkecc/synapse-admin.git
args:
- BUILDKIT_CONTEXT_KEEP_GIT_DIR=1
# - NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=1024"
# - BASE_PATH="/synapse-admin"
ports:
- "8080:80"
restart: unless-stopped
```
- browse to http://localhost:8080
2024-10-24 21:49:00 +03:00
### Serving Synapse Admin on a different path
The path prefix where synapse-admin is served can only be changed during the build step.
If you downloaded the source code, use `yarn build --base=/my-prefix` to set a path prefix.
If you want to build your own Docker container, use the `BASE_PATH` argument.
2024-10-24 21:49:00 +03:00
We do not support directly changing the path where Synapse Admin is served in the pre-built Docker container. Instead please use a reverse proxy if you need to move Synapse Admin to a different base path. If you want to serve multiple applications with different paths on the same domain, you need a reverse proxy anyway.
Example for Traefik:
`docker-compose.yml`
```yml
services:
traefik:
image: traefik:mimolette
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- 80:80
- 443:443
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
synapse-admin:
2024-09-25 19:26:26 +03:00
image: etkecc/synapse-admin:latest
restart: unless-stopped
labels:
- "traefik.enable=true"
- "traefik.http.routers.synapse-admin.rule=Host(`example.com`)&&PathPrefix(`/admin`)"
- "traefik.http.routers.synapse-admin.middlewares=admin,admin_path"
- "traefik.http.middlewares.admin.redirectregex.regex=^(.*)/admin/?"
- "traefik.http.middlewares.admin.redirectregex.replacement=$${1}/admin/"
- "traefik.http.middlewares.admin_path.stripprefix.prefixes=/admin"
```
