# Server to Server
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Server to Server Stack
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To use the server to server stack, home servers should only need to
|
||||||
|
interact with the Messaging layer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The server to server side of things is designed into 4 distinct layers:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Messaging Layer
|
||||||
|
2. Pdu Layer
|
||||||
|
3. Transaction Layer
|
||||||
|
4. Transport Layer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Where the bottom (the transport layer) is what talks to the internet via
|
||||||
|
HTTP, and the top (the messaging layer) talks to the rest of the Home
|
||||||
|
Server with a domain specific API.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Messaging Layer**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is what the rest of the Home Server hits to send messages, join rooms,
|
||||||
|
etc. It also allows you to register callbacks for when it get's notified by
|
||||||
|
lower levels that e.g. a new message has been received.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is responsible for serializing requests to send to the data
|
||||||
|
layer, and to parse requests received from the data layer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **PDU Layer**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This layer handles:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- duplicate `pdu_id`'s - i.e., it makes sure we ignore them.
|
||||||
|
- responding to requests for a given `pdu_id`
|
||||||
|
- responding to requests for all metadata for a given context (i.e. room)
|
||||||
|
- handling incoming backfill requests
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So it has to parse incoming messages to discover which are metadata and
|
||||||
|
which aren't, and has to correctly clobber existing metadata where
|
||||||
|
appropriate.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For incoming PDUs, it has to check the PDUs it references to see
|
||||||
|
if we have missed any. If we have go and ask someone (another
|
||||||
|
home server) for it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Transaction Layer**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This layer makes incoming requests idempotent. i.e., it stores
|
||||||
|
which transaction id's we have seen and what our response were.
|
||||||
|
If we have already seen a message with the given transaction id,
|
||||||
|
we do not notify higher levels but simply respond with the
|
||||||
|
previous response.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`transaction_id` is from "`GET /send/<tx_id>/`"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's also responsible for batching PDUs into single transaction for
|
||||||
|
sending to remote destinations, so that we only ever have one
|
||||||
|
transaction in flight to a given destination at any one time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is also responsible for answering requests for things after a
|
||||||
|
given set of transactions, i.e., ask for everything after 'ver' X.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. **Transport Layer**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is responsible for starting a HTTP server and hitting the
|
||||||
|
correct callbacks on the Transaction layer, as well as sending
|
||||||
|
both data and requests for data.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Persistence
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We persist things in a single sqlite3 database. All database queries get
|
||||||
|
run on a separate, dedicated thread. This that we only ever have one
|
||||||
|
query running at a time, making it a lot easier to do things in a safe
|
||||||
|
manner.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The queries are located in the `synapse.persistence.transactions` module,
|
||||||
|
and the table information in the `synapse.persistence.tables` module.

# Registering an Application Service
|

|
The registration of new application services depends on the homeserver used.
|

to the list specified under the `app_service_config_files` config
|
||||||

option in your synapse config.
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The format of the AS configuration file is as follows:
|

|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

# Code Style
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Formatting tools
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Synapse codebase uses a number of code formatting tools in order to
|
||||||
|
quickly and automatically check for formatting (and sometimes logical)
|
||||||
|
errors in code.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The necessary tools are detailed below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **black**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Synapse codebase uses [black](https://pypi.org/project/black/)
|
||||||
|
as an opinionated code formatter, ensuring all comitted code is
|
||||||
|
properly formatted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First install `black` with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pip install --upgrade black
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Have `black` auto-format your code (it shouldn't change any
|
||||||
|
functionality) with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
black . --exclude="\.tox|build|env"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **flake8**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`flake8` is a code checking tool. We require code to pass `flake8`
|
||||||
|
before being merged into the codebase.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install `flake8` with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pip install --upgrade flake8
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Check all application and test code with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
flake8 synapse tests
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **isort**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`isort` ensures imports are nicely formatted, and can suggest and
|
||||||
|
auto-fix issues such as double-importing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install `isort` with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pip install --upgrade isort
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Auto-fix imports with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
isort -rc synapse tests
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`-rc` means to recursively search the given directories.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's worth noting that modern IDEs and text editors can run these tools
|
||||||
|
automatically on save. It may be worth looking into whether this
|
||||||
|
functionality is supported in your editor for a more convenient
|
||||||
|
development workflow. It is not, however, recommended to run `flake8` on
|
||||||
|
save as it takes a while and is very resource intensive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## General rules
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Naming**:
|
||||||
|
- Use camel case for class and type names
|
||||||
|
- Use underscores for functions and variables.
|
||||||
|
- **Docstrings**: should follow the [google code
|
||||||
|
style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#38-comments-and-docstrings).
|
||||||
|
This is so that we can generate documentation with
|
||||||
|
[sphinx](http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).
|
||||||
|
See the
|
||||||
|
[examples](http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_google.html)
|
||||||
|
in the sphinx documentation.
|
||||||
|
- **Imports**:
|
||||||
|
- Imports should be sorted by `isort` as described above.
|
||||||
|
- Prefer to import classes and functions rather than packages or
|
||||||
|
modules.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
from synapse.types import UserID
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
user_id = UserID(local, server)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
is preferred over:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
from synapse import types
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
user_id = types.UserID(local, server)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(or any other variant).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This goes against the advice in the Google style guide, but it
|
||||||
|
means that errors in the name are caught early (at import time).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Avoid wildcard imports (`from synapse.types import *`) and
|
||||||
|
relative imports (`from .types import UserID`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuration file format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The [sample configuration file](./sample_config.yaml) acts as a
|
||||||
|
reference to Synapse's configuration options for server administrators.
|
||||||
|
Remember that many readers will be unfamiliar with YAML and server
|
||||||
|
administration in general, so that it is important that the file be as
|
||||||
|
easy to understand as possible, which includes following a consistent
|
||||||
|
format.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some guidelines follow:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Sections should be separated with a heading consisting of a single
|
||||||
|
line prefixed and suffixed with `##`. There should be **two** blank
|
||||||
|
lines before the section header, and **one** after.
|
||||||
|
- Each option should be listed in the file with the following format:
|
||||||
|
- A comment describing the setting. Each line of this comment
|
||||||
|
should be prefixed with a hash (`#`) and a space.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The comment should describe the default behaviour (ie, what
|
||||||
|
happens if the setting is omitted), as well as what the effect
|
||||||
|
will be if the setting is changed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Often, the comment end with something like "uncomment the
|
||||||
|
following to <do action>".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- A line consisting of only `#`.
|
||||||
|
- A commented-out example setting, prefixed with only `#`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For boolean (on/off) options, convention is that this example
|
||||||
|
should be the *opposite* to the default (so the comment will end
|
||||||
|
with "Uncomment the following to enable [or disable]
|
||||||
|
<feature>." For other options, the example should give some
|
||||||
|
non-default value which is likely to be useful to the reader.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- There should be a blank line between each option.
|
||||||
|
- Where several settings are grouped into a single dict, *avoid* the
|
||||||
|
convention where the whole block is commented out, resulting in
|
||||||
|
comment lines starting `# #`, as this is hard to read and confusing
|
||||||
|
to edit. Instead, leave the top-level config option uncommented, and
|
||||||
|
follow the conventions above for sub-options. Ensure that your code
|
||||||
|
correctly handles the top-level option being set to `None` (as it
|
||||||
|
will be if no sub-options are enabled).
|
||||||
|
- Lines should be wrapped at 80 characters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Frobnication ##
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# The frobnicator will ensure that all requests are fully frobnicated.
|
||||||
|
# To enable it, uncomment the following.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
#frobnicator_enabled: true
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# By default, the frobnicator will frobnicate with the default frobber.
|
||||||
|
# The following will make it use an alternative frobber.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
#frobincator_frobber: special_frobber
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Settings for the frobber
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
frobber:
|
||||||
|
# frobbing speed. Defaults to 1.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
#speed: 10
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# frobbing distance. Defaults to 1000.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
#distance: 100
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the sample configuration is generated from the synapse code
|
||||||
|
and is maintained by a script, `scripts-dev/generate_sample_config`.
|
||||||
|
Making sure that the output from this script matches the desired format
|
||||||
|
is left as an exercise for the reader!

the *opposite* to the default (so the comment will end with "Uncomment

the example should give some non-default value which is likely to be

|
||||||
useful to the reader.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* There should be a blank line between each option.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Where several settings are grouped into a single dict, *avoid* the
|
|
||||||
convention where the whole block is commented out, resulting in comment
|
|
||||||
lines starting ``# #``, as this is hard to read and confusing to
|
|
||||||
edit. Instead, leave the top-level config option uncommented, and follow
|
|
||||||
the conventions above for sub-options. Ensure that your code correctly
|
|
||||||
handles the top-level option being set to ``None`` (as it will be if no
|
|
||||||
sub-options are enabled).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Lines should be wrapped at 80 characters.

# Log Contexts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To help track the processing of individual requests, synapse uses a
|
||||||
|
'`log context`' to track which request it is handling at any given
|
||||||
|
moment. This is done via a thread-local variable; a `logging.Filter` is
|
||||||
|
then used to fish the information back out of the thread-local variable
|
||||||
|
and add it to each log record.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Logcontexts are also used for CPU and database accounting, so that we
|
||||||
|
can track which requests were responsible for high CPU use or database
|
||||||
|
activity.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `synapse.logging.context` module provides a facilities for managing
|
||||||
|
the current log context (as well as providing the `LoggingContextFilter`
|
||||||
|
class).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Deferreds make the whole thing complicated, so this document describes
|
||||||
|
how it all works, and how to write code which follows the rules.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##Logcontexts without Deferreds
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the absence of any Deferred voodoo, things are simple enough. As with
|
||||||
|
any code of this nature, the rule is that our function should leave
|
||||||
|
things as it found them:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
from synapse.logging import context # omitted from future snippets
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def handle_request(request_id):
|
||||||
|
request_context = context.LoggingContext()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
calling_context = context.LoggingContext.current_context()
|
||||||
|
context.LoggingContext.set_current_context(request_context)
|
||||||
|
try:
|
||||||
|
request_context.request = request_id
|
||||||
|
do_request_handling()
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("finished")
|
||||||
|
finally:
|
||||||
|
context.LoggingContext.set_current_context(calling_context)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def do_request_handling():
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("phew") # this will be logged against request_id
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
LoggingContext implements the context management methods, so the above
|
||||||
|
can be written much more succinctly as:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
def handle_request(request_id):
|
||||||
|
with context.LoggingContext() as request_context:
|
||||||
|
request_context.request = request_id
|
||||||
|
do_request_handling()
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("finished")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def do_request_handling():
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("phew")
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Using logcontexts with Deferreds
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Deferreds --- and in particular, `defer.inlineCallbacks` --- break the
|
||||||
|
linear flow of code so that there is no longer a single entry point
|
||||||
|
where we should set the logcontext and a single exit point where we
|
||||||
|
should remove it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Consider the example above, where `do_request_handling` needs to do some
|
||||||
|
blocking operation, and returns a deferred:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def handle_request(request_id):
|
||||||
|
with context.LoggingContext() as request_context:
|
||||||
|
request_context.request = request_id
|
||||||
|
yield do_request_handling()
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("finished")
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the above flow:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The logcontext is set
|
||||||
|
- `do_request_handling` is called, and returns a deferred
|
||||||
|
- `handle_request` yields the deferred
|
||||||
|
- The `inlineCallbacks` wrapper of `handle_request` returns a deferred
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So we have stopped processing the request (and will probably go on to
|
||||||
|
start processing the next), without clearing the logcontext.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To circumvent this problem, synapse code assumes that, wherever you have
|
||||||
|
a deferred, you will want to yield on it. To that end, whereever
|
||||||
|
functions return a deferred, we adopt the following conventions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Rules for functions returning deferreds:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> - If the deferred is already complete, the function returns with the
|
||||||
|
> same logcontext it started with.
|
||||||
|
> - If the deferred is incomplete, the function clears the logcontext
|
||||||
|
> before returning; when the deferred completes, it restores the
|
||||||
|
> logcontext before running any callbacks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That sounds complicated, but actually it means a lot of code (including
|
||||||
|
the example above) "just works". There are two cases:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If `do_request_handling` returns a completed deferred, then the
|
||||||
|
logcontext will still be in place. In this case, execution will
|
||||||
|
continue immediately after the `yield`; the "finished" line will
|
||||||
|
be logged against the right context, and the `with` block restores
|
||||||
|
the original context before we return to the caller.
|
||||||
|
- If the returned deferred is incomplete, `do_request_handling` clears
|
||||||
|
the logcontext before returning. The logcontext is therefore clear
|
||||||
|
when `handle_request` yields the deferred. At that point, the
|
||||||
|
`inlineCallbacks` wrapper adds a callback to the deferred, and
|
||||||
|
returns another (incomplete) deferred to the caller, and it is safe
|
||||||
|
to begin processing the next request.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once `do_request_handling`'s deferred completes, it will reinstate
|
||||||
|
the logcontext, before running the callback added by the
|
||||||
|
`inlineCallbacks` wrapper. That callback runs the second half of
|
||||||
|
`handle_request`, so again the "finished" line will be logged
|
||||||
|
against the right context, and the `with` block restores the
|
||||||
|
original context.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As an aside, it's worth noting that `handle_request` follows our rules
|
||||||
|
-though that only matters if the caller has its own logcontext which it
|
||||||
|
cares about.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following sections describe pitfalls and helpful patterns when
|
||||||
|
implementing these rules.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Always yield your deferreds
|
||||||
|
---------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Whenever you get a deferred back from a function, you should `yield` on
|
||||||
|
it as soon as possible. (Returning it directly to your caller is ok too,
|
||||||
|
if you're not doing `inlineCallbacks`.) Do not pass go; do not do any
|
||||||
|
logging; do not call any other functions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def fun():
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("starting")
|
||||||
|
yield do_some_stuff() # just like this
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
d = more_stuff()
|
||||||
|
result = yield d # also fine, of course
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
return result
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def nonInlineCallbacksFun():
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("just a wrapper really")
|
||||||
|
return do_some_stuff() # this is ok too - the caller will yield on
|
||||||
|
# it anyway.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Provided this pattern is followed all the way back up to the callchain
|
||||||
|
to where the logcontext was set, this will make things work out ok:
|
||||||
|
provided `do_some_stuff` and `more_stuff` follow the rules above, then
|
||||||
|
so will `fun` (as wrapped by `inlineCallbacks`) and
|
||||||
|
`nonInlineCallbacksFun`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's all too easy to forget to `yield`: for instance if we forgot that
|
||||||
|
`do_some_stuff` returned a deferred, we might plough on regardless. This
|
||||||
|
leads to a mess; it will probably work itself out eventually, but not
|
||||||
|
before a load of stuff has been logged against the wrong context.
|
||||||
|
(Normally, other things will break, more obviously, if you forget to
|
||||||
|
`yield`, so this tends not to be a major problem in practice.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Of course sometimes you need to do something a bit fancier with your
|
||||||
|
Deferreds - not all code follows the linear A-then-B-then-C pattern.
|
||||||
|
Notes on implementing more complex patterns are in later sections.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Where you create a new Deferred, make it follow the rules
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most of the time, a Deferred comes from another synapse function.
|
||||||
|
Sometimes, though, we need to make up a new Deferred, or we get a
|
||||||
|
Deferred back from external code. We need to make it follow our rules.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The easy way to do it is with a combination of `defer.inlineCallbacks`,
|
||||||
|
and `context.PreserveLoggingContext`. Suppose we want to implement
|
||||||
|
`sleep`, which returns a deferred which will run its callbacks after a
|
||||||
|
given number of seconds. That might look like:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
# not a logcontext-rules-compliant function
|
||||||
|
def get_sleep_deferred(seconds):
|
||||||
|
d = defer.Deferred()
|
||||||
|
reactor.callLater(seconds, d.callback, None)
|
||||||
|
return d
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That doesn't follow the rules, but we can fix it by wrapping it with
|
||||||
|
`PreserveLoggingContext` and `yield` ing on it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def sleep(seconds):
|
||||||
|
with PreserveLoggingContext():
|
||||||
|
yield get_sleep_deferred(seconds)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This technique works equally for external functions which return
|
||||||
|
deferreds, or deferreds we have made ourselves.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also use `context.make_deferred_yieldable`, which just does the
|
||||||
|
boilerplate for you, so the above could be written:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
def sleep(seconds):
|
||||||
|
return context.make_deferred_yieldable(get_sleep_deferred(seconds))
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Fire-and-forget
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sometimes you want to fire off a chain of execution, but not wait for
|
||||||
|
its result. That might look a bit like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def do_request_handling():
|
||||||
|
yield foreground_operation()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# *don't* do this
|
||||||
|
background_operation()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("Request handling complete")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def background_operation():
|
||||||
|
yield first_background_step()
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("Completed first step")
|
||||||
|
yield second_background_step()
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("Completed second step")
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The above code does a couple of steps in the background after
|
||||||
|
`do_request_handling` has finished. The log lines are still logged
|
||||||
|
against the `request_context` logcontext, which may or may not be
|
||||||
|
desirable. There are two big problems with the above, however. The first
|
||||||
|
problem is that, if `background_operation` returns an incomplete
|
||||||
|
Deferred, it will expect its caller to `yield` immediately, so will have
|
||||||
|
cleared the logcontext. In this example, that means that 'Request
|
||||||
|
handling complete' will be logged without any context.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The second problem, which is potentially even worse, is that when the
|
||||||
|
Deferred returned by `background_operation` completes, it will restore
|
||||||
|
the original logcontext. There is nothing waiting on that Deferred, so
|
||||||
|
the logcontext will leak into the reactor and possibly get attached to
|
||||||
|
some arbitrary future operation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are two potential solutions to this.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One option is to surround the call to `background_operation` with a
|
||||||
|
`PreserveLoggingContext` call. That will reset the logcontext before
|
||||||
|
starting `background_operation` (so the context restored when the
|
||||||
|
deferred completes will be the empty logcontext), and will restore the
|
||||||
|
current logcontext before continuing the foreground process:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def do_request_handling():
|
||||||
|
yield foreground_operation()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# start background_operation off in the empty logcontext, to
|
||||||
|
# avoid leaking the current context into the reactor.
|
||||||
|
with PreserveLoggingContext():
|
||||||
|
background_operation()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# this will now be logged against the request context
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("Request handling complete")
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Obviously that option means that the operations done in
|
||||||
|
`background_operation` would be not be logged against a logcontext
|
||||||
|
(though that might be fixed by setting a different logcontext via a
|
||||||
|
`with LoggingContext(...)` in `background_operation`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The second option is to use `context.run_in_background`, which wraps a
|
||||||
|
function so that it doesn't reset the logcontext even when it returns
|
||||||
|
an incomplete deferred, and adds a callback to the returned deferred to
|
||||||
|
reset the logcontext. In other words, it turns a function that follows
|
||||||
|
the Synapse rules about logcontexts and Deferreds into one which behaves
|
||||||
|
more like an external function --- the opposite operation to that
|
||||||
|
described in the previous section. It can be used like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def do_request_handling():
|
||||||
|
yield foreground_operation()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
context.run_in_background(background_operation)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# this will now be logged against the request context
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("Request handling complete")
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Passing synapse deferreds into third-party functions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A typical example of this is where we want to collect together two or
|
||||||
|
more deferred via `defer.gatherResults`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
d1 = operation1()
|
||||||
|
d2 = operation2()
|
||||||
|
d3 = defer.gatherResults([d1, d2])
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is really a variation of the fire-and-forget problem above, in that
|
||||||
|
we are firing off `d1` and `d2` without yielding on them. The difference
|
||||||
|
is that we now have third-party code attached to their callbacks. Anyway
|
||||||
|
either technique given in the [Fire-and-forget](#fire-and-forget)
|
||||||
|
section will work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Of course, the new Deferred returned by `gatherResults` needs to be
|
||||||
|
wrapped in order to make it follow the logcontext rules before we can
|
||||||
|
yield it, as described in [Where you create a new Deferred, make it
|
||||||
|
follow the
|
||||||
|
rules](#where-you-create-a-new-deferred-make-it-follow-the-rules).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So, option one: reset the logcontext before starting the operations to
|
||||||
|
be gathered:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def do_request_handling():
|
||||||
|
with PreserveLoggingContext():
|
||||||
|
d1 = operation1()
|
||||||
|
d2 = operation2()
|
||||||
|
result = yield defer.gatherResults([d1, d2])
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this case particularly, though, option two, of using
|
||||||
|
`context.preserve_fn` almost certainly makes more sense, so that
|
||||||
|
`operation1` and `operation2` are both logged against the original
|
||||||
|
logcontext. This looks like:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def do_request_handling():
|
||||||
|
d1 = context.preserve_fn(operation1)()
|
||||||
|
d2 = context.preserve_fn(operation2)()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
with PreserveLoggingContext():
|
||||||
|
result = yield defer.gatherResults([d1, d2])
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Was all this really necessary?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The conventions used work fine for a linear flow where everything
|
||||||
|
happens in series via `defer.inlineCallbacks` and `yield`, but are
|
||||||
|
certainly tricky to follow for any more exotic flows. It's hard not to
|
||||||
|
wonder if we could have done something else.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We're not going to rewrite Synapse now, so the following is entirely of
|
||||||
|
academic interest, but I'd like to record some thoughts on an
|
||||||
|
alternative approach.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I briefly prototyped some code following an alternative set of rules. I
|
||||||
|
think it would work, but I certainly didn't get as far as thinking how
|
||||||
|
it would interact with concepts as complicated as the cache descriptors.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My alternative rules were:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- functions always preserve the logcontext of their caller, whether or
|
||||||
|
not they are returning a Deferred.
|
||||||
|
- Deferreds returned by synapse functions run their callbacks in the
|
||||||
|
same context as the function was orignally called in.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The main point of this scheme is that everywhere that sets the
|
||||||
|
logcontext is responsible for clearing it before returning control to
|
||||||
|
the reactor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So, for example, if you were the function which started a
|
||||||
|
`with LoggingContext` block, you wouldn't `yield` within it --- instead
|
||||||
|
you'd start off the background process, and then leave the `with` block
|
||||||
|
to wait for it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
def handle_request(request_id):
|
||||||
|
with context.LoggingContext() as request_context:
|
||||||
|
request_context.request = request_id
|
||||||
|
d = do_request_handling()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def cb(r):
|
||||||
|
logger.debug("finished")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
d.addCallback(cb)
|
||||||
|
return d
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(in general, mixing `with LoggingContext` blocks and
|
||||||
|
`defer.inlineCallbacks` in the same function leads to slighly
|
||||||
|
counter-intuitive code, under this scheme).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Because we leave the original `with` block as soon as the Deferred is
|
||||||
|
returned (as opposed to waiting for it to be resolved, as we do today),
|
||||||
|
the logcontext is cleared before control passes back to the reactor; so
|
||||||
|
if there is some code within `do_request_handling` which needs to wait
|
||||||
|
for a Deferred to complete, there is no need for it to worry about
|
||||||
|
clearing the logcontext before doing so:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
def handle_request():
|
||||||
|
r = do_some_stuff()
|
||||||
|
r.addCallback(do_some_more_stuff)
|
||||||
|
return r
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
--- and provided `do_some_stuff` follows the rules of returning a
|
||||||
|
Deferred which runs its callbacks in the original logcontext, all is
|
||||||
|
happy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The business of a Deferred which runs its callbacks in the original
|
||||||
|
logcontext isn't hard to achieve --- we have it today, in the shape of
|
||||||
|
`context._PreservingContextDeferred`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
def do_some_stuff():
|
||||||
|
deferred = do_some_io()
|
||||||
|
pcd = _PreservingContextDeferred(LoggingContext.current_context())
|
||||||
|
deferred.chainDeferred(pcd)
|
||||||
|
return pcd
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It turns out that, thanks to the way that Deferreds chain together, we
|
||||||
|
automatically get the property of a context-preserving deferred with
|
||||||
|
`defer.inlineCallbacks`, provided the final Defered the function
|
||||||
|
`yields` on has that property. So we can just write:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def handle_request():
|
||||||
|
yield do_some_stuff()
|
||||||
|
yield do_some_more_stuff()
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To conclude: I think this scheme would have worked equally well, with
|
||||||
|
less danger of messing it up, and probably made some more esoteric code
|
||||||
|
easier to write. But again --- changing the conventions of the entire
|
||||||
|
Synapse codebase is not a sensible option for the marginal improvement
|
||||||
|
offered.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## A note on garbage-collection of Deferred chains
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It turns out that our logcontext rules do not play nicely with Deferred
|
||||||
|
chains which get orphaned and garbage-collected.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Imagine we have some code that looks like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
listener_queue = []
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def on_something_interesting():
|
||||||
|
for d in listener_queue:
|
||||||
|
d.callback("foo")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
||||||
|
def await_something_interesting():
|
||||||
|
new_deferred = defer.Deferred()
|
||||||
|
listener_queue.append(new_deferred)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
with PreserveLoggingContext():
|
||||||
|
yield new_deferred
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Obviously, the idea here is that we have a bunch of things which are
|
||||||
|
waiting for an event. (It's just an example of the problem here, but a
|
||||||
|
relatively common one.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now let's imagine two further things happen. First of all, whatever was
|
||||||
|
waiting for the interesting thing goes away. (Perhaps the request times
|
||||||
|
out, or something *even more* interesting happens.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Secondly, let's suppose that we decide that the interesting thing is
|
||||||
|
never going to happen, and we reset the listener queue:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
def reset_listener_queue():
|
||||||
|
listener_queue.clear()
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So, both ends of the deferred chain have now dropped their references,
|
||||||
|
and the deferred chain is now orphaned, and will be garbage-collected at
|
||||||
|
some point. Note that `await_something_interesting` is a generator
|
||||||
|
function, and when Python garbage-collects generator functions, it gives
|
||||||
|
them a chance to clean up by making the `yield` raise a `GeneratorExit`
|
||||||
|
exception. In our case, that means that the `__exit__` handler of
|
||||||
|
`PreserveLoggingContext` will carefully restore the request context, but
|
||||||
|
there is now nothing waiting for its return, so the request context is
|
||||||
|
never cleared.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To reiterate, this problem only arises when *both* ends of a deferred
|
||||||
|
chain are dropped. Dropping the the reference to a deferred you're
|
||||||
|
supposed to be calling is probably bad practice, so this doesn't
|
||||||
|
actually happen too much. Unfortunately, when it does happen, it will
|
||||||
|
lead to leaked logcontexts which are incredibly hard to track down.

Log Contexts
|
|
||||||
============

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To help track the processing of individual requests, synapse uses a
|
|
||||||
'log context' to track which request it is handling at any given moment. This
|
|
||||||
is done via a thread-local variable; a ``logging.Filter`` is then used to fish
|
|
||||||
the information back out of the thread-local variable and add it to each log
|
|
||||||
record.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Logcontexts are also used for CPU and database accounting, so that we can track
|
|
||||||
which requests were responsible for high CPU use or database activity.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The ``synapse.logging.context`` module provides a facilities for managing the
|
|
||||||
current log context (as well as providing the ``LoggingContextFilter`` class).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Deferreds make the whole thing complicated, so this document describes how it
|
|
||||||
all works, and how to write code which follows the rules.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Logcontexts without Deferreds
|
|
||||||
-----------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the absence of any Deferred voodoo, things are simple enough. As with any
|
|
||||||
code of this nature, the rule is that our function should leave things as it
|
|
||||||
found them:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
from synapse.logging import context # omitted from future snippets
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def handle_request(request_id):
|
|
||||||
request_context = context.LoggingContext()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
calling_context = context.LoggingContext.current_context()
|
|
||||||
context.LoggingContext.set_current_context(request_context)
|
|
||||||
try:
|
|
||||||
request_context.request = request_id
|
|
||||||
do_request_handling()
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("finished")
|
|
||||||
finally:
|
|
||||||
context.LoggingContext.set_current_context(calling_context)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def do_request_handling():
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("phew") # this will be logged against request_id
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
LoggingContext implements the context management methods, so the above can be
|
|
||||||
written much more succinctly as:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def handle_request(request_id):
|
|
||||||
with context.LoggingContext() as request_context:
|
|
||||||
request_context.request = request_id
|
|
||||||
do_request_handling()
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("finished")
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def do_request_handling():
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("phew")
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Using logcontexts with Deferreds
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Deferreds — and in particular, ``defer.inlineCallbacks`` — break
|
|
||||||
the linear flow of code so that there is no longer a single entry point where
|
|
||||||
we should set the logcontext and a single exit point where we should remove it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Consider the example above, where ``do_request_handling`` needs to do some
|
|
||||||
blocking operation, and returns a deferred:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def handle_request(request_id):
|
|
||||||
with context.LoggingContext() as request_context:
|
|
||||||
request_context.request = request_id
|
|
||||||
yield do_request_handling()
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("finished")
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the above flow:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The logcontext is set
|
|
||||||
* ``do_request_handling`` is called, and returns a deferred
|
|
||||||
* ``handle_request`` yields the deferred
|
|
||||||
* The ``inlineCallbacks`` wrapper of ``handle_request`` returns a deferred
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
So we have stopped processing the request (and will probably go on to start
|
|
||||||
processing the next), without clearing the logcontext.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To circumvent this problem, synapse code assumes that, wherever you have a
|
|
||||||
deferred, you will want to yield on it. To that end, whereever functions return
|
|
||||||
a deferred, we adopt the following conventions:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Rules for functions returning deferreds:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* If the deferred is already complete, the function returns with the same
|
|
||||||
logcontext it started with.
|
|
||||||
* If the deferred is incomplete, the function clears the logcontext before
|
|
||||||
returning; when the deferred completes, it restores the logcontext before
|
|
||||||
running any callbacks.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
That sounds complicated, but actually it means a lot of code (including the
|
|
||||||
example above) "just works". There are two cases:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* If ``do_request_handling`` returns a completed deferred, then the logcontext
|
|
||||||
will still be in place. In this case, execution will continue immediately
|
|
||||||
after the ``yield``; the "finished" line will be logged against the right
|
|
||||||
context, and the ``with`` block restores the original context before we
|
|
||||||
return to the caller.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* If the returned deferred is incomplete, ``do_request_handling`` clears the
|
|
||||||
logcontext before returning. The logcontext is therefore clear when
|
|
||||||
``handle_request`` yields the deferred. At that point, the ``inlineCallbacks``
|
|
||||||
wrapper adds a callback to the deferred, and returns another (incomplete)
|
|
||||||
deferred to the caller, and it is safe to begin processing the next request.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once ``do_request_handling``'s deferred completes, it will reinstate the
|
|
||||||
logcontext, before running the callback added by the ``inlineCallbacks``
|
|
||||||
wrapper. That callback runs the second half of ``handle_request``, so again
|
|
||||||
the "finished" line will be logged against the right
|
|
||||||
context, and the ``with`` block restores the original context.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As an aside, it's worth noting that ``handle_request`` follows our rules -
|
|
||||||
though that only matters if the caller has its own logcontext which it cares
|
|
||||||
about.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The following sections describe pitfalls and helpful patterns when implementing
|
|
||||||
these rules.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Always yield your deferreds
|
|
||||||
---------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Whenever you get a deferred back from a function, you should ``yield`` on it
|
|
||||||
as soon as possible. (Returning it directly to your caller is ok too, if you're
|
|
||||||
not doing ``inlineCallbacks``.) Do not pass go; do not do any logging; do not
|
|
||||||
call any other functions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def fun():
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("starting")
|
|
||||||
yield do_some_stuff() # just like this
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
d = more_stuff()
|
|
||||||
result = yield d # also fine, of course
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
return result
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def nonInlineCallbacksFun():
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("just a wrapper really")
|
|
||||||
return do_some_stuff() # this is ok too - the caller will yield on
|
|
||||||
# it anyway.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Provided this pattern is followed all the way back up to the callchain to where
|
|
||||||
the logcontext was set, this will make things work out ok: provided
|
|
||||||
``do_some_stuff`` and ``more_stuff`` follow the rules above, then so will
|
|
||||||
``fun`` (as wrapped by ``inlineCallbacks``) and ``nonInlineCallbacksFun``.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It's all too easy to forget to ``yield``: for instance if we forgot that
|
|
||||||
``do_some_stuff`` returned a deferred, we might plough on regardless. This
|
|
||||||
leads to a mess; it will probably work itself out eventually, but not before
|
|
||||||
a load of stuff has been logged against the wrong context. (Normally, other
|
|
||||||
things will break, more obviously, if you forget to ``yield``, so this tends
|
|
||||||
not to be a major problem in practice.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Of course sometimes you need to do something a bit fancier with your Deferreds
|
|
||||||
- not all code follows the linear A-then-B-then-C pattern. Notes on
|
|
||||||
implementing more complex patterns are in later sections.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Where you create a new Deferred, make it follow the rules
|
|
||||||
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Most of the time, a Deferred comes from another synapse function. Sometimes,
|
|
||||||
though, we need to make up a new Deferred, or we get a Deferred back from
|
|
||||||
external code. We need to make it follow our rules.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The easy way to do it is with a combination of ``defer.inlineCallbacks``, and
|
|
||||||
``context.PreserveLoggingContext``. Suppose we want to implement ``sleep``,
|
|
||||||
which returns a deferred which will run its callbacks after a given number of
|
|
||||||
seconds. That might look like:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# not a logcontext-rules-compliant function
|
|
||||||
def get_sleep_deferred(seconds):
|
|
||||||
d = defer.Deferred()
|
|
||||||
reactor.callLater(seconds, d.callback, None)
|
|
||||||
return d
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
That doesn't follow the rules, but we can fix it by wrapping it with
|
|
||||||
``PreserveLoggingContext`` and ``yield`` ing on it:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def sleep(seconds):
|
|
||||||
with PreserveLoggingContext():
|
|
||||||
yield get_sleep_deferred(seconds)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This technique works equally for external functions which return deferreds,
|
|
||||||
or deferreds we have made ourselves.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can also use ``context.make_deferred_yieldable``, which just does the
|
|
||||||
boilerplate for you, so the above could be written:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def sleep(seconds):
|
|
||||||
return context.make_deferred_yieldable(get_sleep_deferred(seconds))
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Fire-and-forget
|
|
||||||
---------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sometimes you want to fire off a chain of execution, but not wait for its
|
|
||||||
result. That might look a bit like this:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def do_request_handling():
|
|
||||||
yield foreground_operation()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# *don't* do this
|
|
||||||
background_operation()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("Request handling complete")
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def background_operation():
|
|
||||||
yield first_background_step()
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("Completed first step")
|
|
||||||
yield second_background_step()
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("Completed second step")
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The above code does a couple of steps in the background after
|
|
||||||
``do_request_handling`` has finished. The log lines are still logged against
|
|
||||||
the ``request_context`` logcontext, which may or may not be desirable. There
|
|
||||||
are two big problems with the above, however. The first problem is that, if
|
|
||||||
``background_operation`` returns an incomplete Deferred, it will expect its
|
|
||||||
caller to ``yield`` immediately, so will have cleared the logcontext. In this
|
|
||||||
example, that means that 'Request handling complete' will be logged without any
|
|
||||||
context.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The second problem, which is potentially even worse, is that when the Deferred
|
|
||||||
returned by ``background_operation`` completes, it will restore the original
|
|
||||||
logcontext. There is nothing waiting on that Deferred, so the logcontext will
|
|
||||||
leak into the reactor and possibly get attached to some arbitrary future
|
|
||||||
operation.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are two potential solutions to this.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
One option is to surround the call to ``background_operation`` with a
|
|
||||||
``PreserveLoggingContext`` call. That will reset the logcontext before
|
|
||||||
starting ``background_operation`` (so the context restored when the deferred
|
|
||||||
completes will be the empty logcontext), and will restore the current
|
|
||||||
logcontext before continuing the foreground process:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def do_request_handling():
|
|
||||||
yield foreground_operation()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# start background_operation off in the empty logcontext, to
|
|
||||||
# avoid leaking the current context into the reactor.
|
|
||||||
with PreserveLoggingContext():
|
|
||||||
background_operation()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# this will now be logged against the request context
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("Request handling complete")
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Obviously that option means that the operations done in
|
|
||||||
``background_operation`` would be not be logged against a logcontext (though
|
|
||||||
that might be fixed by setting a different logcontext via a ``with
|
|
||||||
LoggingContext(...)`` in ``background_operation``).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The second option is to use ``context.run_in_background``, which wraps a
|
|
||||||
function so that it doesn't reset the logcontext even when it returns an
|
|
||||||
incomplete deferred, and adds a callback to the returned deferred to reset the
|
|
||||||
logcontext. In other words, it turns a function that follows the Synapse rules
|
|
||||||
about logcontexts and Deferreds into one which behaves more like an external
|
|
||||||
function — the opposite operation to that described in the previous section.
|
|
||||||
It can be used like this:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def do_request_handling():
|
|
||||||
yield foreground_operation()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
context.run_in_background(background_operation)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# this will now be logged against the request context
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("Request handling complete")
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Passing synapse deferreds into third-party functions
|
|
||||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A typical example of this is where we want to collect together two or more
|
|
||||||
deferred via ``defer.gatherResults``:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
d1 = operation1()
|
|
||||||
d2 = operation2()
|
|
||||||
d3 = defer.gatherResults([d1, d2])
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is really a variation of the fire-and-forget problem above, in that we are
|
|
||||||
firing off ``d1`` and ``d2`` without yielding on them. The difference
|
|
||||||
is that we now have third-party code attached to their callbacks. Anyway either
|
|
||||||
technique given in the `Fire-and-forget`_ section will work.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Of course, the new Deferred returned by ``gatherResults`` needs to be wrapped
|
|
||||||
in order to make it follow the logcontext rules before we can yield it, as
|
|
||||||
described in `Where you create a new Deferred, make it follow the rules`_.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
So, option one: reset the logcontext before starting the operations to be
|
|
||||||
gathered:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def do_request_handling():
|
|
||||||
with PreserveLoggingContext():
|
|
||||||
d1 = operation1()
|
|
||||||
d2 = operation2()
|
|
||||||
result = yield defer.gatherResults([d1, d2])
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In this case particularly, though, option two, of using
|
|
||||||
``context.preserve_fn`` almost certainly makes more sense, so that
|
|
||||||
``operation1`` and ``operation2`` are both logged against the original
|
|
||||||
logcontext. This looks like:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def do_request_handling():
|
|
||||||
d1 = context.preserve_fn(operation1)()
|
|
||||||
d2 = context.preserve_fn(operation2)()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
with PreserveLoggingContext():
|
|
||||||
result = yield defer.gatherResults([d1, d2])
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Was all this really necessary?
|
|
||||||
------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The conventions used work fine for a linear flow where everything happens in
|
|
||||||
series via ``defer.inlineCallbacks`` and ``yield``, but are certainly tricky to
|
|
||||||
follow for any more exotic flows. It's hard not to wonder if we could have done
|
|
||||||
something else.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We're not going to rewrite Synapse now, so the following is entirely of
|
|
||||||
academic interest, but I'd like to record some thoughts on an alternative
|
|
||||||
approach.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I briefly prototyped some code following an alternative set of rules. I think
|
|
||||||
it would work, but I certainly didn't get as far as thinking how it would
|
|
||||||
interact with concepts as complicated as the cache descriptors.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
My alternative rules were:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* functions always preserve the logcontext of their caller, whether or not they
|
|
||||||
are returning a Deferred.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Deferreds returned by synapse functions run their callbacks in the same
|
|
||||||
context as the function was orignally called in.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The main point of this scheme is that everywhere that sets the logcontext is
|
|
||||||
responsible for clearing it before returning control to the reactor.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
So, for example, if you were the function which started a ``with
|
|
||||||
LoggingContext`` block, you wouldn't ``yield`` within it — instead you'd start
|
|
||||||
off the background process, and then leave the ``with`` block to wait for it:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def handle_request(request_id):
|
|
||||||
with context.LoggingContext() as request_context:
|
|
||||||
request_context.request = request_id
|
|
||||||
d = do_request_handling()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def cb(r):
|
|
||||||
logger.debug("finished")
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
d.addCallback(cb)
|
|
||||||
return d
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
(in general, mixing ``with LoggingContext`` blocks and
|
|
||||||
``defer.inlineCallbacks`` in the same function leads to slighly
|
|
||||||
counter-intuitive code, under this scheme).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Because we leave the original ``with`` block as soon as the Deferred is
|
|
||||||
returned (as opposed to waiting for it to be resolved, as we do today), the
|
|
||||||
logcontext is cleared before control passes back to the reactor; so if there is
|
|
||||||
some code within ``do_request_handling`` which needs to wait for a Deferred to
|
|
||||||
complete, there is no need for it to worry about clearing the logcontext before
|
|
||||||
doing so:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def handle_request():
|
|
||||||
r = do_some_stuff()
|
|
||||||
r.addCallback(do_some_more_stuff)
|
|
||||||
return r
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
— and provided ``do_some_stuff`` follows the rules of returning a Deferred which
|
|
||||||
runs its callbacks in the original logcontext, all is happy.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The business of a Deferred which runs its callbacks in the original logcontext
|
|
||||||
isn't hard to achieve — we have it today, in the shape of
|
|
||||||
``context._PreservingContextDeferred``:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def do_some_stuff():
|
|
||||||
deferred = do_some_io()
|
|
||||||
pcd = _PreservingContextDeferred(LoggingContext.current_context())
|
|
||||||
deferred.chainDeferred(pcd)
|
|
||||||
return pcd
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It turns out that, thanks to the way that Deferreds chain together, we
|
|
||||||
automatically get the property of a context-preserving deferred with
|
|
||||||
``defer.inlineCallbacks``, provided the final Defered the function ``yields``
|
|
||||||
on has that property. So we can just write:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def handle_request():
|
|
||||||
yield do_some_stuff()
|
|
||||||
yield do_some_more_stuff()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To conclude: I think this scheme would have worked equally well, with less
|
|
||||||
danger of messing it up, and probably made some more esoteric code easier to
|
|
||||||
write. But again — changing the conventions of the entire Synapse codebase is
|
|
||||||
not a sensible option for the marginal improvement offered.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A note on garbage-collection of Deferred chains
|
|
||||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It turns out that our logcontext rules do not play nicely with Deferred
|
|
||||||
chains which get orphaned and garbage-collected.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Imagine we have some code that looks like this:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
listener_queue = []
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def on_something_interesting():
|
|
||||||
for d in listener_queue:
|
|
||||||
d.callback("foo")
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@defer.inlineCallbacks
|
|
||||||
def await_something_interesting():
|
|
||||||
new_deferred = defer.Deferred()
|
|
||||||
listener_queue.append(new_deferred)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
with PreserveLoggingContext():
|
|
||||||
yield new_deferred
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Obviously, the idea here is that we have a bunch of things which are waiting
|
|
||||||
for an event. (It's just an example of the problem here, but a relatively
|
|
||||||
common one.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Now let's imagine two further things happen. First of all, whatever was
|
|
||||||
waiting for the interesting thing goes away. (Perhaps the request times out,
|
|
||||||
or something *even more* interesting happens.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Secondly, let's suppose that we decide that the interesting thing is never
|
|
||||||
going to happen, and we reset the listener queue:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. code:: python
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
def reset_listener_queue():
|
|
||||||
listener_queue.clear()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
So, both ends of the deferred chain have now dropped their references, and the
|
|
||||||
deferred chain is now orphaned, and will be garbage-collected at some point.
|
|
||||||
Note that ``await_something_interesting`` is a generator function, and when
|
|
||||||
Python garbage-collects generator functions, it gives them a chance to clean
|
|
||||||
up by making the ``yield`` raise a ``GeneratorExit`` exception. In our case,
|
|
||||||
that means that the ``__exit__`` handler of ``PreserveLoggingContext`` will
|
|
||||||
carefully restore the request context, but there is now nothing waiting for
|
|
||||||
its return, so the request context is never cleared.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To reiterate, this problem only arises when *both* ends of a deferred chain
|
|
||||||
are dropped. Dropping the the reference to a deferred you're supposed to be
|
|
||||||
calling is probably bad practice, so this doesn't actually happen too much.
|
|
||||||
Unfortunately, when it does happen, it will lead to leaked logcontexts which
|
|
||||||
are incredibly hard to track down.

# How to monitor Synapse metrics using Prometheus
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Install Prometheus:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Follow instructions at
|
||||||
|
<http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Enable Synapse metrics:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are two methods of enabling metrics in Synapse.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first serves the metrics as a part of the usual web server and
|
||||||
|
can be enabled by adding the \"metrics\" resource to the existing
|
||||||
|
listener as such:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
resources:
|
||||||
|
- names:
|
||||||
|
- client
|
||||||
|
- metrics
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This provides a simple way of adding metrics to your Synapse
|
||||||
|
installation, and serves under `/_synapse/metrics`. If you do not
|
||||||
|
wish your metrics be publicly exposed, you will need to either
|
||||||
|
filter it out at your load balancer, or use the second method.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The second method runs the metrics server on a different port, in a
|
||||||
|
different thread to Synapse. This can make it more resilient to
|
||||||
|
heavy load meaning metrics cannot be retrieved, and can be exposed
|
||||||
|
to just internal networks easier. The served metrics are available
|
||||||
|
over HTTP only, and will be available at `/`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add a new listener to homeserver.yaml:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
listeners:
|
||||||
|
- type: metrics
|
||||||
|
port: 9000
|
||||||
|
bind_addresses:
|
||||||
|
- '0.0.0.0'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For both options, you will need to ensure that `enable_metrics` is
|
||||||
|
set to `True`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Restart Synapse.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Add a Prometheus target for Synapse.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It needs to set the `metrics_path` to a non-default value (under
|
||||||
|
`scrape_configs`):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- job_name: "synapse"
|
||||||
|
metrics_path: "/_synapse/metrics"
|
||||||
|
static_configs:
|
||||||
|
- targets: ["my.server.here:port"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
where `my.server.here` is the IP address of Synapse, and `port` is
|
||||||
|
the listener port configured with the `metrics` resource.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your prometheus is older than 1.5.2, you will need to replace
|
||||||
|
`static_configs` in the above with `target_groups`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Restart Prometheus.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Renaming of metrics & deprecation of old names in 1.2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Synapse 1.2 updates the Prometheus metrics to match the naming
|
||||||
|
convention of the upstream `prometheus_client`. The old names are
|
||||||
|
considered deprecated and will be removed in a future version of
|
||||||
|
Synapse.

Removal of deprecated metrics & time based counters becoming histograms in 0.31.0
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The duplicated metrics deprecated in Synapse 0.27.0 have been removed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All time duration-based metrics have been changed to be seconds. This
|
||||||
|
affects:
|
||||||
|

Several metrics have been changed to be histograms, which sort entries
|

|
into buckets and allow better analysis. The following metrics are now
|

Block and response metrics renamed for 0.27.0
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Synapse 0.27.0 begins the process of rationalising the duplicate
|
||||||
|
`*:count` metrics reported for the resource tracking for code blocks and
|
||||||
|
HTTP requests.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At the same time, the corresponding `*:total` metrics are being renamed,
|
||||||
|
as the `:total` suffix no longer makes sense in the absence of a
|
||||||
|
corresponding `:count` metric.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable a graceful migration path, this release just adds new names
|
||||||
|
for the metrics being renamed. A future release will remove the old
|
||||||
|
ones.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following table shows the new metrics, and the old metrics which
|
||||||

How to monitor Synapse metrics using Prometheus
|
|
||||||
===============================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Install Prometheus:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Follow instructions at http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Enable Synapse metrics:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are two methods of enabling metrics in Synapse.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The first serves the metrics as a part of the usual web server and can be
|
|
||||||
enabled by adding the "metrics" resource to the existing listener as such::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
resources:
|
|
||||||
- names:
|
|
||||||
- client
|
|
||||||
- metrics
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This provides a simple way of adding metrics to your Synapse installation,
|
|
||||||
and serves under ``/_synapse/metrics``. If you do not wish your metrics be
|
|
||||||
publicly exposed, you will need to either filter it out at your load
|
|
||||||
balancer, or use the second method.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The second method runs the metrics server on a different port, in a
|
|
||||||
different thread to Synapse. This can make it more resilient to heavy load
|
|
||||||
meaning metrics cannot be retrieved, and can be exposed to just internal
|
|
||||||
networks easier. The served metrics are available over HTTP only, and will
|
|
||||||
be available at ``/``.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Add a new listener to homeserver.yaml::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
listeners:
|
|
||||||
- type: metrics
|
|
||||||
port: 9000
|
|
||||||
bind_addresses:
|
|
||||||
- '0.0.0.0'
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For both options, you will need to ensure that ``enable_metrics`` is set to
|
|
||||||
``True``.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Restart Synapse.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. Add a Prometheus target for Synapse.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It needs to set the ``metrics_path`` to a non-default value (under ``scrape_configs``)::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- job_name: "synapse"
|
|
||||||
metrics_path: "/_synapse/metrics"
|
|
||||||
static_configs:
|
|
||||||
- targets: ["my.server.here:port"]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
where ``my.server.here`` is the IP address of Synapse, and ``port`` is the listener port
|
|
||||||
configured with the ``metrics`` resource.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If your prometheus is older than 1.5.2, you will need to replace
|
|
||||||
``static_configs`` in the above with ``target_groups``.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Restart Prometheus.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Renaming of metrics & deprecation of old names in 1.2
|
|
||||||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Synapse 1.2 updates the Prometheus metrics to match the naming convention of the
|
|
||||||
upstream ``prometheus_client``. The old names are considered deprecated and will
|
|
||||||
be removed in a future version of Synapse.

---------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Synapse 0.27.0 begins the process of rationalising the duplicate ``*:count``
|
|
||||||
metrics reported for the resource tracking for code blocks and HTTP requests.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
At the same time, the corresponding ``*:total`` metrics are being renamed, as
|
|
||||||
the ``:total`` suffix no longer makes sense in the absence of a corresponding
|
|
||||||
``:count`` metric.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To enable a graceful migration path, this release just adds new names for the
|
|
||||||
metrics being renamed. A future release will remove the old ones.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The following table shows the new metrics, and the old metrics which they are
|
|
||||||
replacing.

# OpenTracing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Background
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OpenTracing is a semi-standard being adopted by a number of distributed
|
||||||
|
tracing platforms. It is a common api for facilitating vendor-agnostic
|
||||||
|
tracing instrumentation. That is, we can use the OpenTracing api and
|
||||||
|
select one of a number of tracer implementations to do the heavy lifting
|
||||||
|
in the background. Our current selected implementation is Jaeger.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OpenTracing is a tool which gives an insight into the causal
|
||||||
|
relationship of work done in and between servers. The servers each track
|
||||||
|
events and report them to a centralised server - in Synapse's case:
|
||||||
|
Jaeger. The basic unit used to represent events is the span. The span
|
||||||
|
roughly represents a single piece of work that was done and the time at
|
||||||
|
which it occurred. A span can have child spans, meaning that the work of
|
||||||
|
the child had to be completed for the parent span to complete, or it can
|
||||||
|
have follow-on spans which represent work that is undertaken as a result
|
||||||
|
of the parent but is not depended on by the parent to in order to
|
||||||
|
finish.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since this is undertaken in a distributed environment a request to
|
||||||
|
another server, such as an RPC or a simple GET, can be considered a span
|
||||||
|
(a unit or work) for the local server. This causal link is what
|
||||||
|
OpenTracing aims to capture and visualise. In order to do this metadata
|
||||||
|
about the local server's span, i.e the 'span context', needs to be
|
||||||
|
included with the request to the remote.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is up to the remote server to decide what it does with the spans it
|
||||||
|
creates. This is called the sampling policy and it can be configured
|
||||||
|
through Jaeger's settings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||

<https://opentracing.io/docs/overview/what-is-tracing/>.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Setting up OpenTracing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To receive OpenTracing spans, start up a Jaeger server. This can be done
|
||||||
|
using docker like so:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
docker run -d --name jaeger
|
||||||
|
-p 6831:6831/udp \
|
||||||
|
-p 6832:6832/udp \
|
||||||
|
-p 5778:5778 \
|
||||||
|
-p 16686:16686 \
|
||||||
|
-p 14268:14268 \
|
||||||
|
jaegertracing/all-in-one:1.13
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Latest documentation is probably at
|
||||||
|
<https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.13/getting-started/>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Enable OpenTracing in Synapse
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OpenTracing is not enabled by default. It must be enabled in the
|
||||||
|
homeserver config by uncommenting the config options under `opentracing`
|
||||||
|
as shown in the [sample config](./sample_config.yaml). For example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
opentracing:
|
||||||
|
tracer_enabled: true
|
||||||
|
homeserver_whitelist:
|
||||||
|
- "mytrustedhomeserver.org"
|
||||||
|
- "*.myotherhomeservers.com"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Homeserver whitelisting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The homeserver whitelist is configured using regular expressions. A list
|
||||||
|
of regular expressions can be given and their union will be compared
|
||||||
|
when propagating any spans contexts to another homeserver.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Though it's mostly safe to send and receive span contexts to and from
|
||||||
|
untrusted users since span contexts are usually opaque ids it can lead
|
||||||
|
to two problems, namely:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If the span context is marked as sampled by the sending homeserver
|
||||||
|
the receiver will sample it. Therefore two homeservers with wildly
|
||||||
|
different sampling policies could incur higher sampling counts than
|
||||||
|
intended.
|
||||||
|
- Sending servers can attach arbitrary data to spans, known as
|
||||||
|
'baggage'. For safety this has been disabled in Synapse but that
|
||||||
|
doesn't prevent another server sending you baggage which will be
|
||||||
|
logged to OpenTracing's logs.

EDUs can contain tracing data in their content. This is not specced but

it could be of interest for other homeservers.
|

EDU format (if you're using jaeger):
|

|

.. code-block:: json
|
|

|
|

{
|

}
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Though you don't have to use jaeger you must inject the span context into
|
|
||||||
`org.matrix.opentracing_context` using the opentracing `Format.TEXT_MAP` inject method.

# Password auth provider modules
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Password auth providers offer a way for server administrators to
|
||||||
|
integrate their Synapse installation with an existing authentication
|
||||||
|
system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A password auth provider is a Python class which is dynamically loaded
|
||||||
|
into Synapse, and provides a number of methods by which it can integrate
|
||||||
|
with the authentication system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This document serves as a reference for those looking to implement their
|
||||||
|
own password auth providers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Required methods
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Password auth provider classes must provide the following methods:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*class* `SomeProvider.parse_config`(*config*)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> This method is passed the `config` object for this module from the
|
||||||
|
> homeserver configuration file.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> It should perform any appropriate sanity checks on the provided
|
||||||
|
> configuration, and return an object which is then passed into
|
||||||
|
> `__init__`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*class* `SomeProvider`(*config*, *account_handler*)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> The constructor is passed the config object returned by
|
||||||
|
> `parse_config`, and a `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi` object which
|
||||||
|
> allows the password provider to check if accounts exist and/or create
|
||||||
|
> new ones.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Optional methods
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Password auth provider classes may optionally provide the following
|
||||||
|
methods.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*class* `SomeProvider.get_db_schema_files`()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> This method, if implemented, should return an Iterable of
|
||||||
|
> `(name, stream)` pairs of database schema files. Each file is applied
|
||||||
|
> in turn at initialisation, and a record is then made in the database
|
||||||
|
> so that it is not re-applied on the next start.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`someprovider.get_supported_login_types`()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> This method, if implemented, should return a `dict` mapping from a
|
||||||
|
> login type identifier (such as `m.login.password`) to an iterable
|
||||||
|
> giving the fields which must be provided by the user in the submission
|
||||||
|
> to the `/login` api. These fields are passed in the `login_dict`
|
||||||
|
> dictionary to `check_auth`.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> For example, if a password auth provider wants to implement a custom
|
||||||
|
> login type of `com.example.custom_login`, where the client is expected
|
||||||
|
> to pass the fields `secret1` and `secret2`, the provider should
|
||||||
|
> implement this method and return the following dict:
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> {"com.example.custom_login": ("secret1", "secret2")}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`someprovider.check_auth`(*username*, *login_type*, *login_dict*)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> This method is the one that does the real work. If implemented, it
|
||||||
|
> will be called for each login attempt where the login type matches one
|
||||||
|
> of the keys returned by `get_supported_login_types`.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> It is passed the (possibly UNqualified) `user` provided by the client,
|
||||||
|
> the login type, and a dictionary of login secrets passed by the
|
||||||
|
> client.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> The method should return a Twisted `Deferred` object, which resolves
|
||||||
|
> to the canonical `@localpart:domain` user id if authentication is
|
||||||
|
> successful, and `None` if not.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> Alternatively, the `Deferred` can resolve to a `(str, func)` tuple, in
|
||||||
|
> which case the second field is a callback which will be called with
|
||||||
|
> the result from the `/login` call (including `access_token`,
|
||||||
|
> `device_id`, etc.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`someprovider.check_3pid_auth`(*medium*, *address*, *password*)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> This method, if implemented, is called when a user attempts to
|
||||||
|
> register or log in with a third party identifier, such as email. It is
|
||||||
|
> passed the medium (ex. "email"), an address (ex.
|
||||||
|
> "<jdoe@example.com>") and the user's password.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> The method should return a Twisted `Deferred` object, which resolves
|
||||||
|
> to a `str` containing the user's (canonical) User ID if
|
||||||
|
> authentication was successful, and `None` if not.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> As with `check_auth`, the `Deferred` may alternatively resolve to a
|
||||||
|
> `(user_id, callback)` tuple.

||||||

Password auth provider modules
|
|
||||||
==============================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Password auth providers offer a way for server administrators to integrate
|
|
||||||
their Synapse installation with an existing authentication system.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A password auth provider is a Python class which is dynamically loaded into
|
|
||||||
Synapse, and provides a number of methods by which it can integrate with the
|
|
||||||
authentication system.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This document serves as a reference for those looking to implement their own
|
|
||||||
password auth providers.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Required methods
|
|
||||||
----------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Password auth provider classes must provide the following methods:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
*class* ``SomeProvider.parse_config``\(*config*)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This method is passed the ``config`` object for this module from the
|
|
||||||
homeserver configuration file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It should perform any appropriate sanity checks on the provided
|
|
||||||
configuration, and return an object which is then passed into ``__init__``.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
*class* ``SomeProvider``\(*config*, *account_handler*)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The constructor is passed the config object returned by ``parse_config``,
|
|
||||||
and a ``synapse.module_api.ModuleApi`` object which allows the
|
|
||||||
password provider to check if accounts exist and/or create new ones.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Optional methods
|
|
||||||
----------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Password auth provider classes may optionally provide the following methods.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
*class* ``SomeProvider.get_db_schema_files``\()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This method, if implemented, should return an Iterable of ``(name,
|
|
||||||
stream)`` pairs of database schema files. Each file is applied in turn at
|
|
||||||
initialisation, and a record is then made in the database so that it is
|
|
||||||
not re-applied on the next start.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``someprovider.get_supported_login_types``\()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This method, if implemented, should return a ``dict`` mapping from a login
|
|
||||||
type identifier (such as ``m.login.password``) to an iterable giving the
|
|
||||||
fields which must be provided by the user in the submission to the
|
|
||||||
``/login`` api. These fields are passed in the ``login_dict`` dictionary
|
|
||||||
to ``check_auth``.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For example, if a password auth provider wants to implement a custom login
|
|
||||||
type of ``com.example.custom_login``, where the client is expected to pass
|
|
||||||
the fields ``secret1`` and ``secret2``, the provider should implement this
|
|
||||||
method and return the following dict::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{"com.example.custom_login": ("secret1", "secret2")}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``someprovider.check_auth``\(*username*, *login_type*, *login_dict*)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This method is the one that does the real work. If implemented, it will be
|
|
||||||
called for each login attempt where the login type matches one of the keys
|
|
||||||
returned by ``get_supported_login_types``.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is passed the (possibly UNqualified) ``user`` provided by the client,
|
|
||||||
the login type, and a dictionary of login secrets passed by the client.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The method should return a Twisted ``Deferred`` object, which resolves to
|
|
||||||
the canonical ``@localpart:domain`` user id if authentication is successful,
|
|
||||||
and ``None`` if not.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Alternatively, the ``Deferred`` can resolve to a ``(str, func)`` tuple, in
|
|
||||||
which case the second field is a callback which will be called with the
|
|
||||||
result from the ``/login`` call (including ``access_token``, ``device_id``,
|
|
||||||
etc.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``someprovider.check_3pid_auth``\(*medium*, *address*, *password*)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This method, if implemented, is called when a user attempts to register or
|
|
||||||
log in with a third party identifier, such as email. It is passed the
|
|
||||||
medium (ex. "email"), an address (ex. "jdoe@example.com") and the user's
|
|
||||||
password.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The method should return a Twisted ``Deferred`` object, which resolves to
|
|
||||||
a ``str`` containing the user's (canonical) User ID if authentication was
|
|
||||||
successful, and ``None`` if not.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As with ``check_auth``, the ``Deferred`` may alternatively resolve to a
|
|
||||||
``(user_id, callback)`` tuple.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``someprovider.check_password``\(*user_id*, *password*)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This method provides a simpler interface than ``get_supported_login_types``
|
|
||||||
and ``check_auth`` for password auth providers that just want to provide a
|
|
||||||
mechanism for validating ``m.login.password`` logins.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Iif implemented, it will be called to check logins with an
|
|
||||||
``m.login.password`` login type. It is passed a qualified
|
|
||||||
``@localpart:domain`` user id, and the password provided by the user.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The method should return a Twisted ``Deferred`` object, which resolves to
|
|
||||||
``True`` if authentication is successful, and ``False`` if not.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
``someprovider.on_logged_out``\(*user_id*, *device_id*, *access_token*)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This method, if implemented, is called when a user logs out. It is passed
|
|
||||||
the qualified user ID, the ID of the deactivated device (if any: access
|
|
||||||
tokens are occasionally created without an associated device ID), and the
|
|
||||||
(now deactivated) access token.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It may return a Twisted ``Deferred`` object; the logout request will wait
|
|
||||||
for the deferred to complete but the result is ignored.

# Using Postgres
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Postgres version 9.5 or later is known to work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Install postgres client libraries
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Synapse will require the python postgres client library in order to
|
||||||
|
connect to a postgres database.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If you are using the [matrix.org debian/ubuntu
|
||||||
|
packages](../INSTALL.md#matrixorg-packages), the necessary python
|
||||||
|
library will already be installed, but you will need to ensure the
|
||||||
|
low-level postgres library is installed, which you can do with
|
||||||
|
`apt install libpq5`.
|
||||||
|
- For other pre-built packages, please consult the documentation from
|
||||||
|
the relevant package.
|
||||||
|
- If you installed synapse [in a
|
||||||
|
virtualenv](../INSTALL.md#installing-from-source), you can install
|
||||||
|
the library with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~/synapse/env/bin/pip install matrix-synapse[postgres]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(substituting the path to your virtualenv for `~/synapse/env`, if
|
||||||
|
you used a different path). You will require the postgres
|
||||||
|
development files. These are in the `libpq-dev` package on
|
||||||
|
Debian-derived distributions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Set up database
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assuming your PostgreSQL database user is called `postgres`, create a
|
||||||
|
user `synapse_user` with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
su - postgres
|
||||||
|
createuser --pwprompt synapse_user
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before you can authenticate with the `synapse_user`, you must create a
|
||||||
|
database that it can access. To create a database, first connect to the
|
||||||
|
database with your database user:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
su - postgres
|
||||||
|
psql
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and then run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CREATE DATABASE synapse
|
||||||
|
ENCODING 'UTF8'
|
||||||
|
LC_COLLATE='C'
|
||||||
|
LC_CTYPE='C'
|
||||||
|
template=template0
|
||||||
|
OWNER synapse_user;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This would create an appropriate database named `synapse` owned by the
|
||||||
|
`synapse_user` user (which must already have been created as above).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the PostgreSQL database *must* have the correct encoding set
|
||||||
|
(as shown above), otherwise it will not be able to store UTF8 strings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may need to enable password authentication so `synapse_user` can
|
||||||
|
connect to the database. See
|
||||||
|
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/auth-pg-hba-conf.html>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Tuning Postgres
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The default settings should be fine for most deployments. For larger
|
||||||
|
scale deployments tuning some of the settings is recommended, details of
|
||||||
|
which can be found at
|
||||||
|
<https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Tuning_Your_PostgreSQL_Server>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In particular, we've found tuning the following values helpful for
|
||||||
|
performance:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `shared_buffers`
|
||||||
|
- `effective_cache_size`
|
||||||
|
- `work_mem`
|
||||||
|
- `maintenance_work_mem`
|
||||||
|
- `autovacuum_work_mem`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the appropriate values for those fields depend on the amount
|
||||||
|
of free memory the database host has available.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Synapse config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you are ready to start using PostgreSQL, edit the `database`
|
||||||
|
section in your config file to match the following lines:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
database:
|
||||||
|
name: psycopg2
|
||||||
|
args:
|
||||||
|
user: <user>
|
||||||
|
password: <pass>
|
||||||
|
database: <db>
|
||||||
|
host: <host>
|
||||||
|
cp_min: 5
|
||||||
|
cp_max: 10
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All key, values in `args` are passed to the `psycopg2.connect(..)`
|
||||||
|
function, except keys beginning with `cp_`, which are consumed by the
|
||||||
|
twisted adbapi connection pool.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Porting from SQLite
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The script `synapse_port_db` allows porting an existing synapse server
|
||||||
|
backed by SQLite to using PostgreSQL. This is done in as a two phase
|
||||||
|
process:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Copy the existing SQLite database to a separate location (while the
|
||||||
|
server is down) and running the port script against that offline
|
||||||
|
database.
|
||||||
|
2. Shut down the server. Rerun the port script to port any data that
|
||||||
|
has come in since taking the first snapshot. Restart server against
|
||||||
|
the PostgreSQL database.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The port script is designed to be run repeatedly against newer snapshots
|
||||||
|
of the SQLite database file. This makes it safe to repeat step 1 if
|
||||||
|
there was a delay between taking the previous snapshot and being ready
|
||||||
|
to do step 2.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is safe to at any time kill the port script and restart it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Using the port script
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Firstly, shut down the currently running synapse server and copy its
|
||||||
|
database file (typically `homeserver.db`) to another location. Once the
|
||||||
|
copy is complete, restart synapse. For instance:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
./synctl stop
|
||||||
|
cp homeserver.db homeserver.db.snapshot
|
||||||
|
./synctl start
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copy the old config file into a new config file:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cp homeserver.yaml homeserver-postgres.yaml
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit the database section as described in the section *Synapse config*
|
||||||
|
above and with the SQLite snapshot located at `homeserver.db.snapshot`
|
||||||
|
simply run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
synapse_port_db --sqlite-database homeserver.db.snapshot \
|
||||||
|
--postgres-config homeserver-postgres.yaml
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The flag `--curses` displays a coloured curses progress UI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the script took a long time to complete, or time has otherwise passed
|
||||||
|
since the original snapshot was taken, repeat the previous steps with a
|
||||||
|
newer snapshot.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To complete the conversion shut down the synapse server and run the port
|
||||||
|
script one last time, e.g. if the SQLite database is at `homeserver.db`
|
||||||
|
run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
synapse_port_db --sqlite-database homeserver.db \
|
||||||
|
--postgres-config homeserver-postgres.yaml
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once that has completed, change the synapse config to point at the
|
||||||
|
PostgreSQL database configuration file `homeserver-postgres.yaml`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
./synctl stop
|
||||||
|
mv homeserver.yaml homeserver-old-sqlite.yaml
|
||||||
|
mv homeserver-postgres.yaml homeserver.yaml
|
||||||
|
./synctl start
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Synapse should now be running against PostgreSQL.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is safe to at any time kill the port script and restart it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Using the port script
|
|
||||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Firstly, shut down the currently running synapse server and copy its database
|
|
||||||
file (typically ``homeserver.db``) to another location. Once the copy is
|
|
||||||
complete, restart synapse. For instance::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
./synctl stop
|
|
||||||
cp homeserver.db homeserver.db.snapshot
|
|
||||||
./synctl start
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Copy the old config file into a new config file::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cp homeserver.yaml homeserver-postgres.yaml
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Edit the database section as described in the section *Synapse config* above
|
|
||||||
and with the SQLite snapshot located at ``homeserver.db.snapshot`` simply run::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
synapse_port_db --sqlite-database homeserver.db.snapshot \
|
|
||||||
--postgres-config homeserver-postgres.yaml
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The flag ``--curses`` displays a coloured curses progress UI.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the script took a long time to complete, or time has otherwise passed since
|
|
||||||
the original snapshot was taken, repeat the previous steps with a newer
|
|
||||||
snapshot.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To complete the conversion shut down the synapse server and run the port
|
|
||||||
script one last time, e.g. if the SQLite database is at ``homeserver.db``
|
|
||||||
run::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
synapse_port_db --sqlite-database homeserver.db \
|
|
||||||
--postgres-config homeserver-postgres.yaml
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once that has completed, change the synapse config to point at the PostgreSQL
|
|
||||||
database configuration file ``homeserver-postgres.yaml``::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
./synctl stop
|
|
||||||
mv homeserver.yaml homeserver-old-sqlite.yaml
|
|
||||||
mv homeserver-postgres.yaml homeserver.yaml
|
|
||||||
./synctl start
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Synapse should now be running against PostgreSQL.

# Replication Architecture
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Motivation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We'd like to be able to split some of the work that synapse does into
|
||||||
|
multiple python processes. In theory multiple synapse processes could
|
||||||
|
share a single postgresql database and we\'d scale up by running more
|
||||||
|
synapse processes. However much of synapse assumes that only one process
|
||||||
|
is interacting with the database, both for assigning unique identifiers
|
||||||
|
when inserting into tables, notifying components about new updates, and
|
||||||
|
for invalidating its caches.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So running multiple copies of the current code isn't an option. One way
|
||||||
|
to run multiple processes would be to have a single writer process and
|
||||||
|
multiple reader processes connected to the same database. In order to do
|
||||||
|
this we'd need a way for the reader process to invalidate its in-memory
|
||||||
|
caches when an update happens on the writer. One way to do this is for
|
||||||
|
the writer to present an append-only log of updates which the readers
|
||||||
|
can consume to invalidate their caches and to push updates to listening
|
||||||
|
clients or pushers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Synapse already stores much of its data as an append-only log so that it
|
||||||
|
can correctly respond to `/sync` requests so the amount of code changes
|
||||||
|
needed to expose the append-only log to the readers should be fairly
|
||||||
|
minimal.

# Using a reverse proxy with Synapse
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is recommended to put a reverse proxy such as
|
||||||
|
[nginx](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html),
|
||||||
|
[Apache](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy_http.html),
|
||||||
|
[Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/docs/proxy) or
|
||||||
|
[HAProxy](https://www.haproxy.org/) in front of Synapse. One advantage
|
||||||
|
of doing so is that it means that you can expose the default https port
|
||||||
|
(443) to Matrix clients without needing to run Synapse with root
|
||||||
|
privileges.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> **NOTE**: Your reverse proxy must not `canonicalise` or `normalise`
|
||||||
|
the requested URI in any way (for example, by decoding `%xx` escapes).
|
||||||
|
Beware that Apache *will* canonicalise URIs unless you specifify
|
||||||
|
`nocanon`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When setting up a reverse proxy, remember that Matrix clients and other
|
||||||
|
Matrix servers do not necessarily need to connect to your server via the
|
||||||
|
same server name or port. Indeed, clients will use port 443 by default,
|
||||||
|
whereas servers default to port 8448. Where these are different, we
|
||||||
|
refer to the 'client port' and the \'federation port\'. See [Setting
|
||||||
|
up federation](federate.md) for more details of the algorithm used for
|
||||||
|
federation connections.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Let's assume that we expect clients to connect to our server at
|
||||||
|
`https://matrix.example.com`, and other servers to connect at
|
||||||
|
`https://example.com:8448`. The following sections detail the configuration of
|
||||||
|
the reverse proxy and the homeserver.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Webserver configuration examples
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> **NOTE**: You only need one of these.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### nginx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
server {
|
||||||
|
listen 443 ssl;
|
||||||
|
listen [::]:443 ssl;

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
location /_matrix {
|
||||||
|
proxy_pass http://localhost:8008;
|
||||||
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
server {
|
||||||
|
listen 8448 ssl default_server;
|
||||||
|
listen [::]:8448 ssl default_server;
|
||||||
|
server_name example.com;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
location / {
|
||||||
|
proxy_pass http://localhost:8008;
|
||||||
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> **NOTE**: Do not add a `/` after the port in `proxy_pass`, otherwise nginx will
|
||||||
|
canonicalise/normalise the URI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Caddy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
matrix.example.com {
|
||||||
|
proxy /_matrix http://localhost:8008 {
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
}

}
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|

|
</VirtualHost>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> **NOTE**: ensure the `nocanon` options are included.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

### HAProxy
|

## Homeserver Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You will also want to set `bind_addresses: ['127.0.0.1']` and
|
||||||
|
`x_forwarded: true` for port 8008 in `homeserver.yaml` to ensure that
|
||||||
|
client IP addresses are recorded correctly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Having done so, you can then use `https://matrix.example.com` (instead
|
||||||
|
of `https://matrix.example.com:8448`) as the "Custom server" when
|
||||||
|
connecting to Synapse from a client.

==================================

It is recommended to put a reverse proxy such as

`nginx <https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html>`_,

# TCP Replication
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Motivation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Previously the workers used an HTTP long poll mechanism to get updates
|
||||||
|
from the master, which had the problem of causing a lot of duplicate
|
||||||
|
work on the server. This TCP protocol replaces those APIs with the aim
|
||||||
|
of increased efficiency.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The protocol is based on fire and forget, line based commands. An
|
||||||
|
example flow would be (where '>' indicates master to worker and
|
||||||
|
'<' worker to master flows):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> SERVER example.com
|
||||||
|
< REPLICATE events 53
|
||||||
|
> RDATA events 54 ["$foo1:bar.com", ...]
|
||||||
|
> RDATA events 55 ["$foo4:bar.com", ...]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The example shows the server accepting a new connection and sending its
|
||||||
|
identity with the `SERVER` command, followed by the client asking to
|
||||||
|
subscribe to the `events` stream from the token `53`. The server then
|
||||||
|
periodically sends `RDATA` commands which have the format
|
||||||
|
`RDATA <stream_name> <token> <row>`, where the format of `<row>` is
|
||||||
|
defined by the individual streams.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Error reporting happens by either the client or server sending an ERROR
|
||||||
|
command, and usually the connection will be closed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since the protocol is a simple line based, its possible to manually
|
||||||
|
connect to the server using a tool like netcat. A few things should be
|
||||||
|
noted when manually using the protocol:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- When subscribing to a stream using `REPLICATE`, the special token
|
||||||
|
`NOW` can be used to get all future updates. The special stream name
|
||||||
|
`ALL` can be used with `NOW` to subscribe to all available streams.
|
||||||
|
- The federation stream is only available if federation sending has
|
||||||
|
been disabled on the main process.
|
||||||
|
- The server will only time connections out that have sent a `PING`
|
||||||
|
command. If a ping is sent then the connection will be closed if no
|
||||||
|
further commands are receieved within 15s. Both the client and
|
||||||
|
server protocol implementations will send an initial PING on
|
||||||
|
connection and ensure at least one command every 5s is sent (not
|
||||||
|
necessarily `PING`).
|
||||||
|
- `RDATA` commands *usually* include a numeric token, however if the
|
||||||
|
stream has multiple rows to replicate per token the server will send
|
||||||
|
multiple `RDATA` commands, with all but the last having a token of
|
||||||
|
`batch`. See the documentation on `commands.RdataCommand` for
|
||||||
|
further details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Architecture
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The basic structure of the protocol is line based, where the initial
|
||||||
|
word of each line specifies the command. The rest of the line is parsed
|
||||||
|
based on the command. For example, the RDATA command is defined as:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RDATA <stream_name> <token> <row_json>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(Note that <row_json> may contains spaces, but cannot contain
|
||||||
|
newlines.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Blank lines are ignored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Keep alives
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Both sides are expected to send at least one command every 5s or so, and
|
||||||
|
should send a `PING` command if necessary. If either side do not receive
|
||||||
|
a command within e.g. 15s then the connection should be closed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Because the server may be connected to manually using e.g. netcat, the
|
||||||
|
timeouts aren't enabled until an initial `PING` command is seen. Both
|
||||||
|
the client and server implementations below send a `PING` command
|
||||||
|
immediately on connection to ensure the timeouts are enabled.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This ensures that both sides can quickly realize if the tcp connection
|
||||||
|
has gone and handle the situation appropriately.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Start up
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When a new connection is made, the server:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Sends a `SERVER` command, which includes the identity of the server,
|
||||||
|
allowing the client to detect if its connected to the expected
|
||||||
|
server
|
||||||
|
- Sends a `PING` command as above, to enable the client to time out
|
||||||
|
connections promptly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The client:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Sends a `NAME` command, allowing the server to associate a human
|
||||||
|
friendly name with the connection. This is optional.
|
||||||
|
- Sends a `PING` as above
|
||||||
|
- For each stream the client wishes to subscribe to it sends a
|
||||||
|
`REPLICATE` with the `stream_name` and token it wants to subscribe
|
||||||
|
from.
|
||||||
|
- On receipt of a `SERVER` command, checks that the server name
|
||||||
|
matches the expected server name.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Error handling
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If either side detects an error it can send an `ERROR` command and close
|
||||||
|
the connection.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the client side loses the connection to the server it should
|
||||||
|
reconnect, following the steps above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Congestion
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the server sends messages faster than the client can consume them the
|
||||||
|
server will first buffer a (fairly large) number of commands and then
|
||||||
|
disconnect the client. This ensures that we don't queue up an unbounded
|
||||||
|
number of commands in memory and gives us a potential oppurtunity to
|
||||||
|
squawk loudly. When/if the client recovers it can reconnect to the
|
||||||
|
server and ask for missed messages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Reliability
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In general the replication stream should be considered an unreliable
|
||||||
|
transport since e.g. commands are not resent if the connection
|
||||||
|
disappears.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The exception to that are the replication streams, i.e. RDATA commands,
|
||||||
|
since these include tokens which can be used to restart the stream on
|
||||||
|
connection errors.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The client should keep track of the token in the last RDATA command
|
||||||
|
received for each stream so that on reconneciton it can start streaming
|
||||||
|
from the correct place. Note: not all RDATA have valid tokens due to
|
||||||
|
batching. See `RdataCommand` for more details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Example
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An example iteraction is shown below. Each line is prefixed with '>'
|
||||||
|
or '<' to indicate which side is sending, these are *not* included on
|
||||||
|
the wire:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* connection established *
|
||||||
|
> SERVER localhost:8823
|
||||||
|
> PING 1490197665618
|
||||||
|
< NAME synapse.app.appservice
|
||||||
|
< PING 1490197665618
|
||||||
|
< REPLICATE events 1
|
||||||
|
< REPLICATE backfill 1
|
||||||
|
< REPLICATE caches 1
|
||||||
|
> POSITION events 1
|
||||||
|
> POSITION backfill 1
|
||||||
|
> POSITION caches 1
|
||||||
|
> RDATA caches 2 ["get_user_by_id",["@01register-user:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
|
||||||
|
> RDATA events 14 ["$149019767112vOHxz:localhost:8823",
|
||||||
|
"!AFDCvgApUmpdfVjIXm:localhost:8823","m.room.guest_access","",null]
|
||||||
|
< PING 1490197675618
|
||||||
|
> ERROR server stopping
|
||||||
|
* connection closed by server *
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `POSITION` command sent by the server is used to set the clients
|
||||||
|
position without needing to send data with the `RDATA` command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An example of a batched set of `RDATA` is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> RDATA caches batch ["get_user_by_id",["@test:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
|
||||||
|
> RDATA caches batch ["get_user_by_id",["@test2:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
|
||||||
|
> RDATA caches batch ["get_user_by_id",["@test3:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
|
||||||
|
> RDATA caches 54 ["get_user_by_id",["@test4:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this case the client shouldn't advance their caches token until it
|
||||||
|
sees the the last `RDATA`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### List of commands
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Cache Invalidation Stream
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The cache invalidation stream is used to inform workers when they need
|
||||||
|
to invalidate any of their caches in the data store. This is done by
|
||||||
|
streaming all cache invalidations done on master down to the workers,
|
||||||
|
assuming that any caches on the workers also exist on the master.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each individual cache invalidation results in a row being sent down
|
||||||
|
replication, which includes the cache name (the name of the function)
|
||||||
|
and they key to invalidate. For example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> RDATA caches 550953771 ["get_user_by_id", ["@bob:example.com"], 1550574873251]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, there are times when a number of caches need to be invalidated
|
||||||
|
at the same time with the same key. To reduce traffic we batch those
|
||||||
|
invalidations into a single poke by defining a special cache name that
|
||||||
|
workers understand to mean to expand to invalidate the correct caches.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently the special cache names are declared in
|
||||||
|
`synapse/storage/_base.py` and are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. `cs_cache_fake` ─ invalidates caches that depend on the current
|
||||||
|
state

TCP Replication
|
|
||||||
===============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Motivation
|
|
||||||
----------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Previously the workers used an HTTP long poll mechanism to get updates from the
|
|
||||||
master, which had the problem of causing a lot of duplicate work on the server.
|
|
||||||
This TCP protocol replaces those APIs with the aim of increased efficiency.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Overview
|
|
||||||
--------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The protocol is based on fire and forget, line based commands. An example flow
|
|
||||||
would be (where '>' indicates master to worker and '<' worker to master flows)::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> SERVER example.com
|
|
||||||
< REPLICATE events 53
|
|
||||||
> RDATA events 54 ["$foo1:bar.com", ...]
|
|
||||||
> RDATA events 55 ["$foo4:bar.com", ...]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The example shows the server accepting a new connection and sending its identity
|
|
||||||
with the ``SERVER`` command, followed by the client asking to subscribe to the
|
|
||||||
``events`` stream from the token ``53``. The server then periodically sends ``RDATA``
|
|
||||||
commands which have the format ``RDATA <stream_name> <token> <row>``, where the
|
|
||||||
format of ``<row>`` is defined by the individual streams.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Error reporting happens by either the client or server sending an `ERROR`
|
|
||||||
command, and usually the connection will be closed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Since the protocol is a simple line based, its possible to manually connect to
|
|
||||||
the server using a tool like netcat. A few things should be noted when manually
|
|
||||||
using the protocol:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* When subscribing to a stream using ``REPLICATE``, the special token ``NOW`` can
|
|
||||||
be used to get all future updates. The special stream name ``ALL`` can be used
|
|
||||||
with ``NOW`` to subscribe to all available streams.
|
|
||||||
* The federation stream is only available if federation sending has been
|
|
||||||
disabled on the main process.
|
|
||||||
* The server will only time connections out that have sent a ``PING`` command.
|
|
||||||
If a ping is sent then the connection will be closed if no further commands
|
|
||||||
are receieved within 15s. Both the client and server protocol implementations
|
|
||||||
will send an initial PING on connection and ensure at least one command every
|
|
||||||
5s is sent (not necessarily ``PING``).
|
|
||||||
* ``RDATA`` commands *usually* include a numeric token, however if the stream
|
|
||||||
has multiple rows to replicate per token the server will send multiple
|
|
||||||
``RDATA`` commands, with all but the last having a token of ``batch``. See
|
|
||||||
the documentation on ``commands.RdataCommand`` for further details.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Architecture
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The basic structure of the protocol is line based, where the initial word of
|
|
||||||
each line specifies the command. The rest of the line is parsed based on the
|
|
||||||
command. For example, the `RDATA` command is defined as::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
RDATA <stream_name> <token> <row_json>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
(Note that `<row_json>` may contains spaces, but cannot contain newlines.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Blank lines are ignored.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Keep alives
|
|
||||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Both sides are expected to send at least one command every 5s or so, and
|
|
||||||
should send a ``PING`` command if necessary. If either side do not receive a
|
|
||||||
command within e.g. 15s then the connection should be closed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Because the server may be connected to manually using e.g. netcat, the timeouts
|
|
||||||
aren't enabled until an initial ``PING`` command is seen. Both the client and
|
|
||||||
server implementations below send a ``PING`` command immediately on connection to
|
|
||||||
ensure the timeouts are enabled.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This ensures that both sides can quickly realize if the tcp connection has gone
|
|
||||||
and handle the situation appropriately.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Start up
|
|
||||||
~~~~~~~~
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When a new connection is made, the server:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Sends a ``SERVER`` command, which includes the identity of the server, allowing
|
|
||||||
the client to detect if its connected to the expected server
|
|
||||||
* Sends a ``PING`` command as above, to enable the client to time out connections
|
|
||||||
promptly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The client:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Sends a ``NAME`` command, allowing the server to associate a human friendly
|
|
||||||
name with the connection. This is optional.
|
|
||||||
* Sends a ``PING`` as above
|
|
||||||
* For each stream the client wishes to subscribe to it sends a ``REPLICATE``
|
|
||||||
with the stream_name and token it wants to subscribe from.
|
|
||||||
* On receipt of a ``SERVER`` command, checks that the server name matches the
|
|
||||||
expected server name.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Error handling
|
|
||||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If either side detects an error it can send an ``ERROR`` command and close the
|
|
||||||
connection.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the client side loses the connection to the server it should reconnect,
|
|
||||||
following the steps above.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Congestion
|
|
||||||
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the server sends messages faster than the client can consume them the server
|
|
||||||
will first buffer a (fairly large) number of commands and then disconnect the
|
|
||||||
client. This ensures that we don't queue up an unbounded number of commands in
|
|
||||||
memory and gives us a potential oppurtunity to squawk loudly. When/if the client
|
|
||||||
recovers it can reconnect to the server and ask for missed messages.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Reliability
|
|
||||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In general the replication stream should be considered an unreliable transport
|
|
||||||
since e.g. commands are not resent if the connection disappears.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The exception to that are the replication streams, i.e. RDATA commands, since
|
|
||||||
these include tokens which can be used to restart the stream on connection
|
|
||||||
errors.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The client should keep track of the token in the last RDATA command received
|
|
||||||
for each stream so that on reconneciton it can start streaming from the correct
|
|
||||||
place. Note: not all RDATA have valid tokens due to batching. See
|
|
||||||
``RdataCommand`` for more details.

The ``POSITION`` command sent by the server is used to set the clients position
|
|
||||||
without needing to send data with the ``RDATA`` command.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
An example of a batched set of ``RDATA`` is::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> RDATA caches batch ["get_user_by_id",["@test:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
|
|
||||||
> RDATA caches batch ["get_user_by_id",["@test2:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
|
|
||||||
> RDATA caches batch ["get_user_by_id",["@test3:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
|
|
||||||
> RDATA caches 54 ["get_user_by_id",["@test4:localhost:8823"],1490197670513]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In this case the client shouldn't advance their caches token until it sees the
|
|
||||||
the last ``RDATA``.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Cache Invalidation Stream
|
|
||||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The cache invalidation stream is used to inform workers when they need to
|
|
||||||
invalidate any of their caches in the data store. This is done by streaming all
|
|
||||||
cache invalidations done on master down to the workers, assuming that any caches
|
|
||||||
on the workers also exist on the master.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Each individual cache invalidation results in a row being sent down replication,
|
|
||||||
which includes the cache name (the name of the function) and they key to
|
|
||||||
invalidate. For example::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> RDATA caches 550953771 ["get_user_by_id", ["@bob:example.com"], 1550574873251]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, there are times when a number of caches need to be invalidated at the
|
|
||||||
same time with the same key. To reduce traffic we batch those invalidations into
|
|
||||||
a single poke by defining a special cache name that workers understand to mean
|
|
||||||
to expand to invalidate the correct caches.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Currently the special cache names are declared in ``synapse/storage/_base.py``
|
|
||||||
and are:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. ``cs_cache_fake`` ─ invalidates caches that depend on the current state

# Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This document explains how to enable VoIP relaying on your Home Server with
|
||||||
|
TURN.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The synapse Matrix Home Server supports integration with TURN server via the
|
||||||
|
[TURN server REST API](<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-uberti-behave-turn-rest-00>). This
|
||||||
|
allows the Home Server to generate credentials that are valid for use on the
|
||||||
|
TURN server through the use of a secret shared between the Home Server and the
|
||||||
|
TURN server.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following sections describe how to install [coturn](<https://github.com/coturn/coturn>) (which implements the TURN REST API) and integrate it with synapse.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## `coturn` Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Initial installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The TURN daemon `coturn` is available from a variety of sources such as native package managers, or installation from source.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Debian installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# apt install coturn
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Source installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/coturn/coturn/releases/latest) from github. Unpack it and `cd` into the directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Configure it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
./configure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> You may need to install `libevent2`: if so, you should do so in
|
||||||
|
> the way recommended by your operating system. You can ignore
|
||||||
|
> warnings about lack of database support: a database is unnecessary
|
||||||
|
> for this purpose.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Build and install it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Create or edit the config file in `/etc/turnserver.conf`. The relevant
|
||||||
|
lines, with example values, are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
use-auth-secret
|
||||||
|
static-auth-secret=[your secret key here]
|
||||||
|
realm=turn.myserver.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See `turnserver.conf` for explanations of the options. One way to generate
|
||||||
|
the `static-auth-secret` is with `pwgen`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pwgen -s 64 1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Consider your security settings. TURN lets users request a relay which will
|
||||||
|
connect to arbitrary IP addresses and ports. The following configuration is
|
||||||
|
suggested as a minimum starting point:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# VoIP traffic is all UDP. There is no reason to let users connect to arbitrary TCP endpoints via the relay.
|
||||||
|
no-tcp-relay
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# don't let the relay ever try to connect to private IP address ranges within your network (if any)
|
||||||
|
# given the turn server is likely behind your firewall, remember to include any privileged public IPs too.
|
||||||
|
denied-peer-ip=10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
|
||||||
|
denied-peer-ip=192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
|
||||||
|
denied-peer-ip=172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# special case the turn server itself so that client->TURN->TURN->client flows work
|
||||||
|
allowed-peer-ip=10.0.0.1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# consider whether you want to limit the quota of relayed streams per user (or total) to avoid risk of DoS.
|
||||||
|
user-quota=12 # 4 streams per video call, so 12 streams = 3 simultaneous relayed calls per user.
|
||||||
|
total-quota=1200
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ideally coturn should refuse to relay traffic which isn't SRTP; see
|
||||||
|
<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2009>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Ensure your firewall allows traffic into the TURN server on the ports
|
||||||
|
you've configured it to listen on (remember to allow both TCP and UDP TURN
|
||||||
|
traffic)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. If you've configured coturn to support TLS/DTLS, generate or import your
|
||||||
|
private key and certificate.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Start the turn server:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
bin/turnserver -o
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## synapse Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your home server configuration file needs the following extra keys:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. "`turn_uris`": This needs to be a yaml list of public-facing URIs
|
||||||
|
for your TURN server to be given out to your clients. Add separate
|
||||||
|
entries for each transport your TURN server supports.
|
||||||
|
2. "`turn_shared_secret`": This is the secret shared between your
|
||||||
|
Home server and your TURN server, so you should set it to the same
|
||||||
|
string you used in turnserver.conf.
|
||||||
|
3. "`turn_user_lifetime`": This is the amount of time credentials
|
||||||
|
generated by your Home Server are valid for (in milliseconds).
|
||||||
|
Shorter times offer less potential for abuse at the expense of
|
||||||
|
increased traffic between web clients and your home server to
|
||||||
|
refresh credentials. The TURN REST API specification recommends
|
||||||
|
one day (86400000).
|
||||||
|
4. "`turn_allow_guests`": Whether to allow guest users to use the
|
||||||
|
TURN server. This is enabled by default, as otherwise VoIP will
|
||||||
|
not work reliably for guests. However, it does introduce a
|
||||||
|
security risk as it lets guests connect to arbitrary endpoints
|
||||||
|
without having gone through a CAPTCHA or similar to register a
|
||||||
|
real account.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As an example, here is the relevant section of the config file for matrix.org:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
turn_uris: [ "turn:turn.matrix.org:3478?transport=udp", "turn:turn.matrix.org:3478?transport=tcp" ]
|
||||||
|
turn_shared_secret: n0t4ctuAllymatr1Xd0TorgSshar3d5ecret4obvIousreAsons
|
||||||
|
turn_user_lifetime: 86400000
|
||||||
|
turn_allow_guests: True
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After updating the homeserver configuration, you must restart synapse:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd /where/you/run/synapse
|
||||||
|
./synctl restart
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
..and your Home Server now supports VoIP relaying!

How to enable VoIP relaying on your Home Server with TURN

|
|
||||||
Overview
|
|
||||||
--------
|
|
||||||
The synapse Matrix Home Server supports integration with TURN server via the
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-uberti-behave-turn-rest-00). This allows

server through the use of a secret shared between the Home Server and the
|
|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This document describes how to install coturn
|
|
||||||
(https://github.com/coturn/coturn) which also supports the TURN REST API,
|
|
||||||
and integrate it with synapse.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
coturn Setup
|
|
||||||
============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may be able to setup coturn via your package manager, or set it up manually using the usual ``configure, make, make install`` process.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Check out coturn::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
git clone https://github.com/coturn/coturn.git coturn
|
|
||||||
cd coturn
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Configure it::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
./configure
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may need to install ``libevent2``: if so, you should do so
|
|
||||||
in the way recommended by your operating system.
|
|
||||||
You can ignore warnings about lack of database support: a
|
|
||||||
database is unnecessary for this purpose.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. Build and install it::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
make
|
|
||||||
make install
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. Create or edit the config file in ``/etc/turnserver.conf``. The relevant
|
|
||||||
lines, with example values, are::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
use-auth-secret
|
|
||||||
static-auth-secret=[your secret key here]
|
|
||||||
realm=turn.myserver.org
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See turnserver.conf for explanations of the options.
|
|
||||||
One way to generate the static-auth-secret is with pwgen::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pwgen -s 64 1
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
5. Consider your security settings. TURN lets users request a relay
|
|
||||||
which will connect to arbitrary IP addresses and ports. At the least
|
|
||||||
we recommend::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# VoIP traffic is all UDP. There is no reason to let users connect to arbitrary TCP endpoints via the relay.
|
|
||||||
no-tcp-relay
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# don't let the relay ever try to connect to private IP address ranges within your network (if any)
|
|
||||||
# given the turn server is likely behind your firewall, remember to include any privileged public IPs too.
|
|
||||||
denied-peer-ip=10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
|
|
||||||
denied-peer-ip=192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
|
|
||||||
denied-peer-ip=172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# special case the turn server itself so that client->TURN->TURN->client flows work
|
|
||||||
allowed-peer-ip=10.0.0.1
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# consider whether you want to limit the quota of relayed streams per user (or total) to avoid risk of DoS.
|
|
||||||
user-quota=12 # 4 streams per video call, so 12 streams = 3 simultaneous relayed calls per user.
|
|
||||||
total-quota=1200
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ideally coturn should refuse to relay traffic which isn't SRTP;
|
|
||||||
see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2009
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
6. Ensure your firewall allows traffic into the TURN server on
|
|
||||||
the ports you've configured it to listen on (remember to allow
|
|
||||||
both TCP and UDP TURN traffic)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
7. If you've configured coturn to support TLS/DTLS, generate or
|
|
||||||
import your private key and certificate.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
8. Start the turn server::
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
bin/turnserver -o
