<h1 id="upgrading-synapse"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-synapse">Upgrading Synapse</a></h1>
<p>Before upgrading check if any special steps are required to upgrade from
the version you currently have installed to the current version of
Synapse. The extra instructions that may be required are listed later in
this document.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Check that your versions of Python and PostgreSQL are still
supported.</p>
<p>Synapse follows upstream lifecycles for <a href="https://endoflife.date/python">Python</a> and
<a href="https://endoflife.date/postgresql">PostgreSQL</a>, and removes support for versions
which are no longer maintained.</p>
<p>The website <a href="https://endoflife.date">https://endoflife.date</a> also offers convenient
summaries.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If Synapse was installed using <a href="setup/installation.html#prebuilt-packages">prebuilt packages</a>,
you will need to follow the normal process for upgrading those packages.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If Synapse was installed using pip then upgrade to the latest
version by running:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">pip install --upgrade matrix-synapse
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>If Synapse was installed from source, then:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Obtain the latest version of the source code. Git users can run
<code>git pull</code> to do this.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you're running Synapse in a virtualenv, make sure to activate it before
upgrading. For example, if Synapse is installed in a virtualenv in <code>~/synapse/env</code> then
run:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade .
</code></pre>
<p>Include any relevant extras between square brackets, e.g. <code>pip install --upgrade &quot;.[postgres,oidc]&quot;</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you're using <code>poetry</code> to manage a Synapse installation, run:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">poetry install
</code></pre>
<p>Include any relevant extras with <code>--extras</code>, e.g. <code>poetry install --extras postgres --extras oidc</code>.
It's probably easiest to run <code>poetry install --extras all</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restart Synapse:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">synctl restart
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To check whether your update was successful, you can check the running
server version with:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash"># you may need to replace 'localhost:8008' if synapse is not configured
# to listen on port 8008.
curl http://localhost:8008/_synapse/admin/v1/server_version
</code></pre>
<h2 id="rolling-back-to-older-versions"><a class="header" href="#rolling-back-to-older-versions">Rolling back to older versions</a></h2>
<p>Rolling back to previous releases can be difficult, due to database
schema changes between releases. Where we have been able to test the
rollback process, this will be noted below.</p>
<p>In general, you will need to undo any changes made during the upgrade
process, for example:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>pip:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">source env/bin/activate
# replace `1.3.0` accordingly:
pip install matrix-synapse==1.3.0
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Debian:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash"># replace `1.3.0` and `stretch` accordingly:
wget https://packages.matrix.org/debian/pool/main/m/matrix-synapse-py3/matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb
</code></pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Generally Synapse database schemas are compatible across multiple versions, but once
a version of Synapse is deployed you may not be able to roll back automatically.
The following table gives the version ranges and the earliest version they can
be rolled back to. E.g. Synapse versions v1.58.0 through v1.61.1 can be rolled
back safely to v1.57.0, but starting with v1.62.0 it is only safe to roll back to
v1.61.0.</p>

<h2 id="upgrading-from-a-very-old-version"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-from-a-very-old-version">Upgrading from a very old version</a></h2>
<p>You need to read all of the upgrade notes for each version between your current
version and the latest so that you can update your dependencies, environment,
config files, etc. if necessary. But you do not need to perform an
upgrade to each individual version that was missed.</p>
<p>We do not have a list of which versions must be installed. Instead, we recommend
that you upgrade through each incompatible database schema version, which would
give you the ability to roll back the maximum number of versions should anything
go wrong. See <a href="#rolling-back-to-older-versions">Rolling back to older versions</a>
above.</p>
<p>Additionally, new versions of Synapse will occasionally run database migrations
and background updates to update the database. Synapse will not start until
database migrations are complete. You should wait until background updates from
each upgrade are complete before moving on to the next upgrade, to avoid
stacking them up. You can monitor the currently running background updates with
<a href="usage/administration/admin_api/background_updates.html#status">the Admin API</a>.</p>

<h2 id="removal-of-experimental-msc3886-feature"><a class="header" href="#removal-of-experimental-msc3886-feature">Removal of experimental MSC3886 feature</a></h2>
<p><a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3886">MSC3886</a>
has been closed (and will not enter the Matrix spec). As such, we are
removing the experimental support for it in this release.</p>
<p>The <code>experimental_features.msc3886_endpoint</code> configuration option has
been removed.</p>
<h2 id="authenticated-media-is-now-enforced-by-default"><a class="header" href="#authenticated-media-is-now-enforced-by-default">Authenticated media is now enforced by default</a></h2>
<p>The <a href="usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#enable_authenticated_media"><code>enable_authenticated_media</code></a> configuration option now defaults to true.</p>
<p>This means that clients and remote (federated) homeservers now need to use
the authenticated media endpoints in order to download media from your
homeserver.</p>

this option changing to <code>true</code> will still be accessible over the

modules in use in your deployment are making use of <code>on_threepid_bind</code>, and update them where possible.</p>
<p>The arguments and functionality of the new method are the same.</p>
<p>The justification behind the name change is that the old method's name, <code>on_threepid_bind</code>, was
misleading. A user is considered to &quot;bind&quot; their third-party ID to their Matrix ID only if they
do so via an <a href="https://spec.matrix.org/latest/identity-service-api/">identity server</a>

it was only called when a user added a third-party identifier on the local homeserver.</p>
<p>Module developers may also be interested in the related
<a href="modules/third_party_rules_callbacks.html#on_remove_user_third_party_identifier"><code>on_remove_user_third_party_identifier</code></a>

<p>To align with spec (changed in
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3905">MSC3905</a>), Synapse now
only considers local users to be interesting. In other words, the <code>users</code> namespace
regex is only be applied against local users of the homeserver.</p>
<p>Please note, this probably doesn't affect the expected behavior of your application
service, since an interesting local user in a room still means all messages in the room
(from local or remote users) will still be considered interesting. And matching a room
with the <code>rooms</code> or <code>aliases</code> namespace regex will still consider all events sent in the
room to be interesting to the application service.</p>
<p>If one of your application service's <code>users</code> regex was intending to match a remote user,
this will no longer match as you expect. The behavioral mismatch between matching all
local users and some remote users is why the spec was changed/clarified and this
caveat is no longer supported.</p>

<p>The Grafana dashboard, Prometheus recording rules and Prometheus Consoles included

rely on the legacy names. These can be used on a current version of Synapse
because current versions of Synapse emit both old and new names.</p>
<p>You may need to update your alerting rules or any other rules that depend on
the names of Prometheus metrics.

<p>Redis support was added in v1.13.0 with it becoming the recommended method in
v1.18.0. It replaced the old direct TCP connections (which was deprecated as of
v1.18.0) to the main process. With Redis, rather than all the workers connecting
to the main process, all the workers and the main process connect to Redis,
which relays replication commands between processes. This can give a significant
CPU saving on the main process and is a prerequisite for upcoming
performance improvements.</p>
<p>To migrate to Redis add the <a href="./workers.html#shared-configuration"><code>redis</code> config</a>,
and remove the TCP <code>replication</code> listener from config of the master and
<code>worker_replication_port</code> from worker config. Note that a HTTP listener with a
<code>replication</code> resource is still required.</p>

versions 3.22 to 3.26.</p>
<p>Those using Docker images or Debian packages from Matrix.org will not be

<p>This release includes a database schema update which requires re-indexing one of
the larger tables in the database, <code>events</code>. This could result in increased
disk I/O for several hours or days after upgrading while the migration
completes. Furthermore, because we have to keep the old indexes until the new
indexes are ready, it could result in a significant, temporary, increase in
disk space.</p>
<p>To get a rough idea of the disk space required, check the current size of one
of the indexes. For example, from a <code>psql</code> shell, run the following sql:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('events_order_room'));
</code></pre>
<p>We need to rebuild <strong>four</strong> indexes, so you will need to multiply this result
by four to give an estimate of the disk space required. For example, on one
particular server:</p>
<pre><code>synapse=# select pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('events_order_room'));
pg_size_pretty
----------------
288 MB
(1 row)
</code></pre>
<p>On this server, it would be wise to ensure that at least 1152MB are free.</p>
<p>The additional disk space will be freed once the migration completes.</p>
<p>SQLite databases are unaffected by this change.</p>

<p>v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic
occurs, you may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse.
Because v1.26.0 also includes a new database schema version, reverting
that version is also required alongside the generic rollback
instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll back to v1.25.0 you need
to:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Stop the server</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Decrease the schema version in the database:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">UPDATE schema_version SET version = 58;
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Delete the ignored users &amp; chain cover data:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ignored_users;
UPDATE rooms SET has_auth_chain_index = false;
</code></pre>
<p>For PostgreSQL run:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">TRUNCATE event_auth_chain_links;
TRUNCATE event_auth_chains;
</code></pre>
<p>For SQLite run:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;
DELETE FROM event_auth_chains;
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Mark the deltas as not run (so they will re-run on upgrade).</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = &quot;59/01ignored_user.py&quot;;
DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = &quot;59/06chain_cover_index.sql&quot;;
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your
installation method in the &quot;Rolling back to older versions&quot;
section above.</p>

<h2 id="last-release-supporting-python-35"><a class="header" href="#last-release-supporting-python-35">Last release supporting Python 3.5</a></h2>
<p>This is the last release of Synapse which guarantees support with Python
3.5, which passed its upstream End of Life date several months ago.</p>
<p>We will attempt to maintain support through March 2021, but without
guarantees.</p>
<p>In the future, Synapse will follow upstream schedules for ending support
of older versions of Python and PostgreSQL. Please upgrade to at least
Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6 as soon as possible.</p>
<h2 id="blacklisting-ip-ranges"><a class="header" href="#blacklisting-ip-ranges">Blacklisting IP ranges</a></h2>
<p>Synapse v1.25.0 includes new settings, <code>ip_range_blacklist</code> and
<code>ip_range_whitelist</code>, for controlling outgoing requests from Synapse for
federation, identity servers, push, and for checking key validity for
third-party invite events. The previous setting,
<code>federation_ip_range_blacklist</code>, is deprecated. The new
<code>ip_range_blacklist</code> defaults to private IP ranges if it is not defined.</p>
<p>If you have never customised <code>federation_ip_range_blacklist</code> it is
recommended that you remove that setting.</p>
<p>If you have customised <code>federation_ip_range_blacklist</code> you should update
the setting name to <code>ip_range_blacklist</code>.</p>
<p>If you have a custom push server that is reached via private IP space
you may need to customise <code>ip_range_blacklist</code> or <code>ip_range_whitelist</code>.</p>

<h2 id="custom-openid-connect-mapping-provider-breaking-change"><a class="header" href="#custom-openid-connect-mapping-provider-breaking-change">Custom OpenID Connect mapping provider breaking change</a></h2>
<p>This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform
normalisation of the localpart of the Matrix ID. This allows for the
mapping provider to specify different algorithms, instead of the
<a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets">default
way</a>.</p>
<p>If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
(<code>oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module</code> is specified and
not equal to
<code>synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider</code>)
then you <em>must</em> ensure that <code>map_user_attributes</code> of the
mapping provider performs some normalisation of the
<code>localpart</code> returned. To match previous behaviour you can
use the <code>map_username_to_mxid_localpart</code> function provided
by Synapse. An example is shown below:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart
class MyMappingProvider:
def map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token):
# ... your custom logic ...
sso_user_id = ...
localpart = map_username_to_mxid_localpart(sso_user_id)
return {&quot;localpart&quot;: localpart}
</code></pre>
<h2 id="removal-historical-synapse-admin-api"><a class="header" href="#removal-historical-synapse-admin-api">Removal historical Synapse Admin API</a></h2>
<p>Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin</code></li>
<li><code>/_matrix/client/unstable/admin</code></li>
<li><code>/_matrix/client/r0/admin</code></li>
<li><code>/_synapse/admin/v1</code></li>
</ul>
<p>The endpoints with <code>/_matrix/client/*</code> prefixes have been removed as of
v1.24.0. The Admin API is now only accessible under:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/_synapse/admin/v1</code></li>
</ul>
<p>The only exception is the <code>/admin/whois</code> endpoint, which is
<a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-admin-whois-userid">also available via the client-server
API</a>.</p>
<p>The deprecation of the old endpoints was announced with Synapse 1.20.0
(released on 2020-09-22) and makes it easier for homeserver admins to
lock down external access to the Admin API endpoints.</p>

<p>This release deprecates use of the <code>structured: true</code> logging

contains <code>structured: true</code> then it should be modified based on the
<a href="https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/v1.56/structured_logging.html#upgrading-from-legacy-structured-logging-configuration">structured logging documentation</a>.</p>
<p>The <code>structured</code> and <code>drains</code> logging options are now deprecated and

<p>This release introduces a backwards-incompatible change to modules
making use of <code>ThirdPartyEventRules</code> in Synapse. If you make use of a
module defined under the <code>third_party_event_rules</code> config option, please
make sure it is updated to handle the below change:</p>
<p>The <code>http_client</code> argument is no longer passed to modules as they are
initialised. Instead, modules are expected to make use of the
<code>http_client</code> property on the <code>ModuleApi</code> class. Modules are now passed
a <code>module_api</code> argument during initialisation, which is an instance of
<code>ModuleApi</code>. <code>ModuleApi</code> instances have a <code>http_client</code> property which
acts the same as the <code>http_client</code> argument previously passed to
<code>ThirdPartyEventRules</code> modules.</p>

<h2 id="new-html-templates"><a class="header" href="#new-html-templates">New HTML templates</a></h2>
<p>A new HTML template,

has been added to the <code>synapse/res/templates</code> directory. If you are
using a custom template directory, you may want to copy the template
over and modify it.</p>
<p>Note that as of v1.20.0, templates do not need to be included in custom
template directories for Synapse to start. The default templates will be
used if a custom template cannot be found.</p>
<p>This page will appear to the user after clicking a password reset link
that has been emailed to them.</p>
<p>To complete password reset, the page must include a way to make a

any customisations of the <code>saml_error.html</code> template will need to be
merged into the <code>sso_error.html</code> template. These templates are similar,
but the parameters are slightly different:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <code>msg</code> parameter should be renamed to <code>error_description</code>.</li>

<p>A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room
directory to be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly
from v1.2.1 or earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x.</p>
<p>This will <em>not</em> be a problem for Synapse installations which were:</p>
<p>: - created at v1.4.0 or later,
- upgraded via v1.3.x, or
- upgraded straight from v1.2.1 or earlier to v1.13.0 or later.</p>
<p>If completeness of the room directory is a concern, installations which
are affected can be repaired as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Run the following sql from a <code>psql</code> or
<code>sqlite3</code> console:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES

<p>v1.13.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic
occurs, you may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse.
Because v1.13.0 also includes a new database schema version, reverting
that version is also required alongside the generic rollback
instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll back to v1.12.4 you need
to:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Stop the server</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Decrease the schema version in the database:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">UPDATE schema_version SET version = 57;
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your
installation method in the &quot;Rolling back to older versions&quot;
section above.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v1120"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v1120">Upgrading to v1.12.0</a></h1>
<p>This version includes a database update which is run as part of the
upgrade, and which may take some time (several hours in the case of a
large server). Synapse will not respond to HTTP requests while this
update is taking place.</p>
<p>This is only likely to be a problem in the case of a server which is
participating in many rooms.</p>
<ol start="0">
<li>
<p>As with all upgrades, it is recommended that you have a recent
backup of your database which can be used for recovery in the event
of any problems.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>As an initial check to see if you will be affected, you can try
running the following query from the <code>psql</code> or
<code>sqlite3</code> console. It is safe to run it while Synapse is
still running.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">SELECT MAX(q.v) FROM (
SELECT (
SELECT ej.json AS v
FROM state_events se INNER JOIN event_json ej USING (event_id)
WHERE se.room_id=rooms.room_id AND se.type='m.room.create' AND se.state_key=''
LIMIT 1
) FROM rooms WHERE rooms.room_version IS NULL
) q;
</code></pre>
<p>This query will take about the same amount of time as the upgrade
process: ie, if it takes 5 minutes, then it is likely that Synapse
will be unresponsive for 5 minutes during the upgrade.</p>
<p>If you consider an outage of this duration to be acceptable, no
further action is necessary and you can simply start Synapse 1.12.0.</p>
<p>If you would prefer to reduce the downtime, continue with the steps
below.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The easiest workaround for this issue is to manually create a new
index before upgrading. On PostgreSQL, his can be done as follows:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index
ON state_events(room_id) WHERE type = 'm.room.create';
</code></pre>
<p>The above query may take some time, but is also safe to run while
Synapse is running.</p>
<p>We assume that no SQLite users have databases large enough to be
affected. If you <em>are</em> affected, you can run a similar query,
omitting the <code>CONCURRENTLY</code> keyword. Note however that this
operation may in itself cause Synapse to stop running for some time.
Synapse admins are reminded that <a href="postgres.html">SQLite is not recommended for use
outside a test environment</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once the index has been created, the <code>SELECT</code> query in step 1 above
should complete quickly. It is therefore safe to upgrade to Synapse
1.12.0.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once Synapse 1.12.0 has successfully started and is responding to
HTTP requests, the temporary index can be removed:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">DROP INDEX tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index;
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v1100"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v1100">Upgrading to v1.10.0</a></h1>
<p>Synapse will now log a warning on start up if used with a PostgreSQL
database that has a non-recommended locale set.</p>
<p>See <a href="postgres.html">Postgres</a> for details.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v180"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v180">Upgrading to v1.8.0</a></h1>
<p>Specifying a <code>log_file</code> config option will now cause Synapse to refuse
to start, and should be replaced by with the <code>log_config</code> option.
Support for the <code>log_file</code> option was removed in v1.3.0 and has since
had no effect.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v170"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v170">Upgrading to v1.7.0</a></h1>
<p>In an attempt to configure Synapse in a privacy preserving way, the
default behaviours of <code>allow_public_rooms_without_auth</code> and
<code>allow_public_rooms_over_federation</code> have been inverted. This means that
by default, only authenticated users querying the Client/Server API will
be able to query the room directory, and relatedly that the server will
not share room directory information with other servers over federation.</p>
<p>If your installation does not explicitly set these settings one way or
the other and you want either setting to be <code>true</code> then it will
necessary to update your homeserver configuration file accordingly.</p>

<li><code>registration_success.html</code> and <code>registration_failure.html</code></li>
<li><code>add_threepid.html</code> and <code>add_threepid.txt</code></li>
<li><code>add_threepid_failure.html</code> and <code>add_threepid_success.html</code></li>

<h2 id="3pid-verification-changes"><a class="header" href="#3pid-verification-changes">3pid verification changes</a></h2>
<p><strong>Note: As of this release, users will be unable to add phone numbers or
email addresses to their accounts, without changes to the Synapse
configuration. This includes adding an email address during
registration.</strong></p>
<p>It is possible for a user to associate an email address or phone number
with their account, for a number of reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>for use when logging in, as an alternative to the user id.</li>
<li>in the case of email, as an alternative contact to help with account
recovery.</li>
<li>in the case of email, to receive notifications of missed messages.</li>
</ul>
<p>Before an email address or phone number can be added to a user's
account, or before such an address is used to carry out a
password-reset, Synapse must confirm the operation with the owner of the
email address or phone number. It does this by sending an email or text
giving the user a link or token to confirm receipt. This process is
known as '3pid verification'. ('3pid', or 'threepid', stands for
third-party identifier, and we use it to refer to external identifiers
such as email addresses and phone numbers.)</p>
<p>Previous versions of Synapse delegated the task of 3pid verification to
an identity server by default. In most cases this server is <code>vector.im</code>
or <code>matrix.org</code>.</p>
<p>In Synapse 1.4.0, for security and privacy reasons, the homeserver will
no longer delegate this task to an identity server by default. Instead,
the server administrator will need to explicitly decide how they would
like the verification messages to be sent.</p>
<p>In the medium term, the <code>vector.im</code> and <code>matrix.org</code> identity servers
will disable support for delegated 3pid verification entirely. However,
in order to ease the transition, they will retain the capability for a
limited period. Delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday
2nd December 2019 (giving roughly 2 months notice). Disabling delegated
SMS verification will follow some time after that once SMS verification
support lands in Synapse.</p>
<p>Once delegated 3pid verification support has been disabled in the
<code>vector.im</code> and <code>matrix.org</code> identity servers, all Synapse versions that
depend on those instances will be unable to verify email and phone
numbers through them. There are no imminent plans to remove delegated
3pid verification from Sydent generally. (Sydent is the identity server
project that backs the <code>vector.im</code> and <code>matrix.org</code> instances).</p>
<h3 id="email"><a class="header" href="#email">Email</a></h3>
<p>Following upgrade, to continue verifying email (e.g. as part of the
registration process), admins can either:-</p>
<ul>
<li>Configure Synapse to use an email server.</li>
<li>Run or choose an identity server which allows delegated email
verification and delegate to it.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="configure-smtp-in-synapse"><a class="header" href="#configure-smtp-in-synapse">Configure SMTP in Synapse</a></h4>
<p>To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration
section headed <code>email</code>, and be sure to have at least the
<code>smtp_host, smtp_port</code> and <code>notif_from</code> fields filled out.</p>
<p>You may also need to set <code>smtp_user</code>, <code>smtp_pass</code>, and
<code>require_transport_security</code>.</p>
<p>See the <a href="usage/configuration/homeserver_sample_config.html">sample configuration file</a>
for more details on these settings.</p>
<h4 id="delegate-email-to-an-identity-server"><a class="header" href="#delegate-email-to-an-identity-server">Delegate email to an identity server</a></h4>
<p>Some admins will wish to continue using email verification as part of

SMTP server at hand.</p>
<p>To this end, we will continue to support email verification delegation
via the <code>vector.im</code> and <code>matrix.org</code> identity servers for two months.
Support for delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd
December.</p>
<p>The <code>account_threepid_delegates</code> dictionary defines whether the
homeserver should delegate an external server (typically an <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1">identity
server</a>) to handle
sending confirmation messages via email and SMS.</p>
<p>So to delegate email verification, in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>, set
<code>account_threepid_delegates.email</code> to the base URL of an identity
server. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">account_threepid_delegates:
email: https://example.com # Delegate email sending to example.com
</code></pre>
<p>Note that <code>account_threepid_delegates.email</code> replaces the deprecated
<code>email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code>: if
<code>email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code> is set to <code>true</code>, and
<code>account_threepid_delegates.email</code> is not set, then the first entry in
<code>trusted_third_party_id_servers</code> will be used as the
<code>account_threepid_delegate</code> for email. This is to ensure compatibility
with existing Synapse installs that set up external server handling for
these tasks before v1.4.0. If
<code>email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code> is <code>true</code> and no
trusted identity server domains are configured, Synapse will report an
error and refuse to start.</p>
<p>If <code>email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code> is <code>false</code> or
absent and no <code>email</code> delegate is configured in
<code>account_threepid_delegates</code>, then Synapse will send email verification
messages itself, using the configured SMTP server (see above). that
type.</p>
<h3 id="phone-numbers"><a class="header" href="#phone-numbers">Phone numbers</a></h3>
<p>Synapse does not support phone-number verification itself, so the only
way to maintain the ability for users to add phone numbers to their
accounts will be by continuing to delegate phone number verification to
the <code>matrix.org</code> and <code>vector.im</code> identity servers (or another identity
server that supports SMS sending).</p>
<p>The <code>account_threepid_delegates</code> dictionary defines whether the
homeserver should delegate an external server (typically an <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1">identity
server</a>) to handle
sending confirmation messages via email and SMS.</p>
<p>So to delegate phone number verification, in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>, set
<code>account_threepid_delegates.msisdn</code> to the base URL of an identity
server. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">account_threepid_delegates:
msisdn: https://example.com # Delegate sms sending to example.com
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>matrix.org</code> and <code>vector.im</code> identity servers will continue to
support delegated phone number verification via SMS until such time as
it is possible for admins to configure their servers to perform phone
number verification directly. More details will follow in a future
release.</p>
<h2 id="rolling-back-to-v131"><a class="header" href="#rolling-back-to-v131">Rolling back to v1.3.1</a></h2>
<p>If you encounter problems with v1.4.0, it should be possible to roll
back to v1.3.1, subject to the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The 'room statistics' engine was heavily reworked in this release
(see <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5971">#5971</a>),
including significant changes to the database schema, which are not
easily reverted. This will cause the room statistics engine to stop
updating when you downgrade.</p>
<p>The room statistics are essentially unused in v1.3.1 (in future
versions of Synapse, they will be used to populate the room
directory), so there should be no loss of functionality. However,
the statistics engine will write errors to the logs, which can be
avoided by setting the following in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">stats:
enabled: false
</code></pre>
<p>Don't forget to re-enable it when you upgrade again, in preparation
for its use in the room directory!</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v120"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v120">Upgrading to v1.2.0</a></h1>
<p>Some counter metrics have been renamed, with the old names deprecated.
See <a href="metrics-howto.html#renaming-of-metrics--deprecation-of-old-names-in-12">the metrics
documentation</a>
for details.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v110"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v110">Upgrading to v1.1.0</a></h1>
<p>Synapse v1.1.0 removes support for older Python and PostgreSQL versions,
as outlined in <a href="https://matrix.org/blog/2019/04/08/synapse-deprecating-postgres-9-4-and-python-2-x">our deprecation
notice</a>.</p>
<h2 id="minimum-python-version"><a class="header" href="#minimum-python-version">Minimum Python Version</a></h2>
<p>Synapse v1.1.0 has a minimum Python requirement of Python 3.5. Python
3.6 or Python 3.7 are recommended as they have improved internal string
handling, significantly reducing memory usage.</p>
<p>If you use current versions of the Matrix.org-distributed Debian
packages or Docker images, action is not required.</p>
<p>If you install Synapse in a Python virtual environment, please see
&quot;Upgrading to v0.34.0&quot; for notes on setting up a new virtualenv under
Python 3.</p>
<h2 id="minimum-postgresql-version"><a class="header" href="#minimum-postgresql-version">Minimum PostgreSQL Version</a></h2>
<p>If using PostgreSQL under Synapse, you will need to use PostgreSQL 9.5
or above. Please see the <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/upgrading.html">PostgreSQL
documentation</a> for
more details on upgrading your database.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v10"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v10">Upgrading to v1.0</a></h1>
<h2 id="validation-of-tls-certificates"><a class="header" href="#validation-of-tls-certificates">Validation of TLS certificates</a></h2>
<p>Synapse v1.0 is the first release to enforce validation of TLS
certificates for the federation API. It is therefore essential that your
certificates are correctly configured.</p>
<p>Note, v1.0 installations will also no longer be able to federate with
servers that have not correctly configured their certificates.</p>
<p>In rare cases, it may be desirable to disable certificate checking: for
example, it might be essential to be able to federate with a given
legacy server in a closed federation. This can be done in one of two
ways:-</p>
<ul>
<li>Configure the global switch <code>federation_verify_certificates</code> to
<code>false</code>.</li>
<li>Configure a whitelist of server domains to trust via
<code>federation_certificate_verification_whitelist</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>See the <a href="usage/configuration/homeserver_sample_config.html">sample configuration file</a>
for more details on these settings.</p>
<h2 id="email-1"><a class="header" href="#email-1">Email</a></h2>
<p>When a user requests a password reset, Synapse will send an email to the
user to confirm the request.</p>
<p>Previous versions of Synapse delegated the job of sending this email to
an identity server. If the identity server was somehow malicious or
became compromised, it would be theoretically possible to hijack an
account through this means.</p>
<p>Therefore, by default, Synapse v1.0 will send the confirmation email
itself. If Synapse is not configured with an SMTP server, password reset
via email will be disabled.</p>
<p>To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration
section headed <code>email</code>, and be sure to have at least the <code>smtp_host</code>,
<code>smtp_port</code> and <code>notif_from</code> fields filled out. You may also need to set
<code>smtp_user</code>, <code>smtp_pass</code>, and <code>require_transport_security</code>.</p>
<p>If you are absolutely certain that you wish to continue using an
identity server for password resets, set
<code>trust_identity_server_for_password_resets</code> to <code>true</code>.</p>
<p>See the <a href="usage/configuration/homeserver_sample_config.html">sample configuration file</a>
for more details on these settings.</p>
<h2 id="new-email-templates"><a class="header" href="#new-email-templates">New email templates</a></h2>
<p>Some new templates have been added to the default template directory for the purpose of
the homeserver sending its own password reset emails. If you have configured a
custom <code>template_dir</code> in your Synapse config, these files will need to be added.</p>
<p><code>password_reset.html</code> and <code>password_reset.txt</code> are HTML and plain text
templates respectively that contain the contents of what will be emailed
to the user upon attempting to reset their password via email.
<code>password_reset_success.html</code> and <code>password_reset_failure.html</code> are HTML
files that the content of which (assuming no redirect URL is set) will
be shown to the user after they attempt to click the link in the email
sent to them.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0990"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0990">Upgrading to v0.99.0</a></h1>
<p>Please be aware that, before Synapse v1.0 is released around March 2019,
you will need to replace any self-signed certificates with those
verified by a root CA. Information on how to do so can be found at the
ACME docs.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0340"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0340">Upgrading to v0.34.0</a></h1>
<ol>
<li>
<p>This release is the first to fully support Python 3. Synapse will
now run on Python versions 3.5, or 3.6 (as well as 2.7). We
recommend switching to Python 3, as it has been shown to give
performance improvements.</p>
<p>For users who have installed Synapse into a virtualenv, we recommend
doing this by creating a new virtualenv. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env3
source ~/synapse/env3/bin/activate
pip install matrix-synapse
</code></pre>
<p>You can then start synapse as normal, having activated the new
virtualenv:</p>
<pre><code class="language-sh">cd ~/synapse
source env3/bin/activate
synctl start
</code></pre>
<p>Users who have installed from distribution packages should see the
relevant package documentation. See below for notes on Debian
packages.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>When upgrading to Python 3, you <strong>must</strong> make sure that your log
files are configured as UTF-8, by adding <code>encoding: utf8</code> to the
<code>RotatingFileHandler</code> configuration (if you have one) in your
<code>&lt;server&gt;.log.config</code> file. For example, if your <code>log.config</code>
file contains:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">handlers:
file:
class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
formatter: precise
filename: homeserver.log
maxBytes: 104857600
backupCount: 10
filters: [context]
console:
class: logging.StreamHandler
formatter: precise
filters: [context]
</code></pre>
<p>Then you should update this to be:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">handlers:
file:
class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
formatter: precise
filename: homeserver.log
maxBytes: 104857600
backupCount: 10
filters: [context]
encoding: utf8
console:
class: logging.StreamHandler
formatter: precise
filters: [context]
</code></pre>
<p>There is no need to revert this change if downgrading to
Python 2.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>We are also making available Debian packages which will run Synapse
on Python 3. You can switch to these packages with
<code>apt-get install matrix-synapse-py3</code>, however, please read
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v0.34.0/debian/NEWS">debian/NEWS</a>
before doing so. The existing <code>matrix-synapse</code> packages will
continue to use Python 2 for the time being.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>This release removes the <code>riot.im</code> from the default list of trusted
identity servers.</p>
<p>If <code>riot.im</code> is in your homeserver's list of
<code>trusted_third_party_id_servers</code>, you should remove it. It was added
in case a hypothetical future identity server was put there. If you
don't remove it, users may be unable to deactivate their accounts.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>This release no longer installs the (unmaintained) Matrix Console
web client as part of the default installation. It is possible to
re-enable it by installing it separately and setting the
<code>web_client_location</code> config option, but please consider switching
to another client.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0337"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0337">Upgrading to v0.33.7</a></h1>
<p>This release removes the example email notification templates from
<code>res/templates</code> (they are now internal to the python package). This
should only affect you if you (a) deploy your Synapse instance from a
git checkout or a github snapshot URL, and (b) have email notifications
enabled.</p>
<p>If you have email notifications enabled, you should ensure that
<code>email.template_dir</code> is either configured to point at a directory where
you have installed customised templates, or leave it unset to use the
default templates.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0273"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0273">Upgrading to v0.27.3</a></h1>
<p>This release expands the anonymous usage stats sent if the opt-in
<code>report_stats</code> configuration is set to <code>true</code>. We now capture RSS memory
and cpu use at a very coarse level. This requires administrators to
install the optional <code>psutil</code> python module.</p>
<p>We would appreciate it if you could assist by ensuring this module is
available and <code>report_stats</code> is enabled. This will let us see if
performance changes to synapse are having an impact to the general
community.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0150"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0150">Upgrading to v0.15.0</a></h1>
<p>If you want to use the new URL previewing API
(<code>/_matrix/media/r0/preview_url</code>) then you have to explicitly enable it
in the config and update your dependencies dependencies. See README.rst
for details.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v0110"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v0110">Upgrading to v0.11.0</a></h1>
<p>This release includes the option to send anonymous usage stats to
matrix.org, and requires that administrators explicitly opt in or out by
setting the <code>report_stats</code> option to either <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>.</p>
<p>We would really appreciate it if you could help our project out by
reporting anonymized usage statistics from your homeserver. Only very
basic aggregate data (e.g. number of users) will be reported, but it
helps us to track the growth of the Matrix community, and helps us to
make Matrix a success, as well as to convince other networks that they
should peer with us.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v090"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v090">Upgrading to v0.9.0</a></h1>
<p>Application services have had a breaking API change in this version.</p>
<p>They can no longer register themselves with a home server using the AS
HTTP API. This decision was made because a compromised application
service with free reign to register any regex in effect grants full
read/write access to the home server if a regex of <code>.*</code> is used. An
attack where a compromised AS re-registers itself with <code>.*</code> was deemed
too big of a security risk to ignore, and so the ability to register
with the HS remotely has been removed.</p>
<p>It has been replaced by specifying a list of application service
registrations in <code>homeserver.yaml</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">app_service_config_files: [&quot;registration-01.yaml&quot;, &quot;registration-02.yaml&quot;]
</code></pre>
<p>Where <code>registration-01.yaml</code> looks like:</p>
<pre><code class="language-yaml">url: &lt;String&gt; # e.g. &quot;https://my.application.service.com&quot;
as_token: &lt;String&gt;
hs_token: &lt;String&gt;
sender_localpart: &lt;String&gt; # This is a new field which denotes the user_id localpart when using the AS token
namespaces:
users:
- exclusive: &lt;Boolean&gt;
regex: &lt;String&gt; # e.g. &quot;@prefix_.*&quot;
aliases:
- exclusive: &lt;Boolean&gt;
regex: &lt;String&gt;
rooms:
- exclusive: &lt;Boolean&gt;
regex: &lt;String&gt;
</code></pre>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v080"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v080">Upgrading to v0.8.0</a></h1>
<p>Servers which use captchas will need to add their public key to:</p>
<pre><code>static/client/register/register_config.js
window.matrixRegistrationConfig = {
recaptcha_public_key: &quot;YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY&quot;
};
</code></pre>
<p>This is required in order to support registration fallback (typically
used on mobile devices).</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v070"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v070">Upgrading to v0.7.0</a></h1>
<p>New dependencies are:</p>
<ul>
<li>pydenticon</li>
<li>simplejson</li>
<li>syutil</li>
<li>matrix-angular-sdk</li>
</ul>
<p>To pull in these dependencies in a virtual env, run:</p>
<pre><code>python synapse/python_dependencies.py | xargs -n 1 pip install
</code></pre>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v060"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v060">Upgrading to v0.6.0</a></h1>
<p>To pull in new dependencies, run:</p>
<pre><code>python setup.py develop --user
</code></pre>
<p>This update includes a change to the database schema. To upgrade you
first need to upgrade the database by running:</p>
<pre><code>python scripts/upgrade_db_to_v0.6.0.py &lt;db&gt; &lt;server_name&gt; &lt;signing_key&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>Where <code>&lt;db&gt;</code> is the location of the database,
<code>&lt;server_name&gt;</code> is the server name as specified in the
synapse configuration, and <code>&lt;signing_key&gt;</code> is the location
of the signing key as specified in the synapse configuration.</p>
<p>This may take some time to complete. Failures of signatures and content
hashes can safely be ignored.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v051"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v051">Upgrading to v0.5.1</a></h1>
<p>Depending on precisely when you installed v0.5.0 you may have ended up
with a stale release of the reference matrix webclient installed as a
python module. To uninstall it and ensure you are depending on the
latest module, please run:</p>
<pre><code>$ pip uninstall syweb
</code></pre>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v050"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v050">Upgrading to v0.5.0</a></h1>
<p>The webclient has been split out into a separate repository/package in
this release. Before you restart your homeserver you will need to pull
in the webclient package by running:</p>
<pre><code>python setup.py develop --user
</code></pre>
<p>This release completely changes the database schema and so requires
upgrading it before starting the new version of the homeserver.</p>
<p>The script &quot;database-prepare-for-0.5.0.sh&quot; should be used to upgrade
the database. This will save all user information, such as logins and
profiles, but will otherwise purge the database. This includes messages,
which rooms the home server was a member of and room alias mappings.</p>
<p>If you would like to keep your history, please take a copy of your
database file and ask for help in #matrix:matrix.org. The upgrade
process is, unfortunately, non trivial and requires human intervention
to resolve any resulting conflicts during the upgrade process.</p>
<p>Before running the command the homeserver should be first completely
shutdown. To run it, simply specify the location of the database, e.g.:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>./scripts/database-prepare-for-0.5.0.sh &quot;homeserver.db&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Once this has successfully completed it will be safe to restart the
homeserver. You may notice that the homeserver takes a few seconds
longer to restart than usual as it reinitializes the database.</p>
<p>On startup of the new version, users can either rejoin remote rooms
using room aliases or by being reinvited. Alternatively, if any other
homeserver sends a message to a room that the homeserver was previously
in the local HS will automatically rejoin the room.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v040"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v040">Upgrading to v0.4.0</a></h1>
<p>This release needs an updated syutil version. Run:</p>
<pre><code>python setup.py develop
</code></pre>
<p>You will also need to upgrade your configuration as the signing key
format has changed. Run:</p>
<pre><code>python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path &lt;CONFIG&gt; --generate-config
</code></pre>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v030"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v030">Upgrading to v0.3.0</a></h1>
<p>This registration API now closely matches the login API. This introduces
a bit more backwards and forwards between the HS and the client, but
this improves the overall flexibility of the API. You can now GET on
/register to retrieve a list of valid registration flows. Upon choosing
one, they are submitted in the same way as login, e.g:</p>
<pre><code>{
type: m.login.password,
user: foo,
password: bar
}
</code></pre>
<p>The default HS supports 2 flows, with and without Identity Server email
authentication. Enabling captcha on the HS will add in an extra step to
all flows: <code>m.login.recaptcha</code> which must be completed before you can
transition to the next stage. There is a new login type:
<code>m.login.email.identity</code> which contains the <code>threepidCreds</code> key which
were previously sent in the original register request. For more
information on this, see the specification.</p>
<h2 id="web-client"><a class="header" href="#web-client">Web Client</a></h2>
<p>The VoIP specification has changed between v0.2.0 and v0.3.0. Users
should refresh any browser tabs to get the latest web client code. Users
on v0.2.0 of the web client will not be able to call those on v0.3.0 and
vice versa.</p>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v020"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v020">Upgrading to v0.2.0</a></h1>
<p>The home server now requires setting up of SSL config before it can run.
To automatically generate default config use:</p>
<pre><code>$ python synapse/app/homeserver.py \
--server-name machine.my.domain.name \
--bind-port 8448 \
--config-path homeserver.config \
--generate-config
</code></pre>
<p>This config can be edited if desired, for example to specify a different
SSL certificate to use. Once done you can run the home server using:</p>
<pre><code>$ python synapse/app/homeserver.py --config-path homeserver.config
</code></pre>
<p>See the README.rst for more information.</p>
<p>Also note that some config options have been renamed, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>&quot;host&quot; to &quot;server-name&quot;</li>
<li>&quot;database&quot; to &quot;database-path&quot;</li>
<li>&quot;port&quot; to &quot;bind-port&quot; and &quot;unsecure-port&quot;</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="upgrading-to-v001"><a class="header" href="#upgrading-to-v001">Upgrading to v0.0.1</a></h1>
<p>This release completely changes the database schema and so requires
upgrading it before starting the new version of the homeserver.</p>
<p>The script &quot;database-prepare-for-0.0.1.sh&quot; should be used to upgrade
the database. This will save all user information, such as logins and
profiles, but will otherwise purge the database. This includes messages,
which rooms the home server was a member of and room alias mappings.</p>
<p>Before running the command the homeserver should be first completely
shutdown. To run it, simply specify the location of the database, e.g.:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>./scripts/database-prepare-for-0.0.1.sh &quot;homeserver.db&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Once this has successfully completed it will be safe to restart the
homeserver. You may notice that the homeserver takes a few seconds
longer to restart than usual as it reinitializes the database.</p>
<p>On startup of the new version, users can either rejoin remote rooms
using room aliases or by being reinvited. Alternatively, if any other
homeserver sends a message to a room that the homeserver was previously
in the local HS will automatically rejoin the room.</p>
