We recommend using -`Docker images `_ or `Debian packages from Matrix.org -`_. - -.. _federation: - -Synapse has a variety of `config options -`_ -which can be used to customise its behaviour after installation. -There are additional details on how to `configure Synapse for federation here -`_. - -.. _reverse-proxy: - -Using a reverse proxy with Synapse ----------------------------------- - -It is recommended to put a reverse proxy such as -`nginx `_, -`Apache `_, -`Caddy `_, -`HAProxy `_ or -`relayd `_ 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. -For information on configuring one, see `the reverse proxy docs -`_. - -Upgrading an existing Synapse ------------------------------ - -The instructions for upgrading Synapse are in `the upgrade notes`_. -Please check these instructions as upgrading may require extra steps for some -versions of Synapse. - -.. _the upgrade notes: https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade.html - - -Platform dependencies ---------------------- - -Synapse uses a number of platform dependencies such as Python and PostgreSQL, -and aims to follow supported upstream versions. See the -`deprecation policy `_ -for more details. - - -Security note -------------- - -Matrix serves raw, user-supplied data in some APIs -- specifically the `content -repository endpoints`_. - -.. _content repository endpoints: https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest.html#get-matrix-media-r0-download-servername-mediaid - -Whilst we make a reasonable effort to mitigate against XSS attacks (for -instance, by using `CSP`_), a Matrix homeserver should not be hosted on a -domain hosting other web applications. This especially applies to sharing -the domain with Matrix web clients and other sensitive applications like -webmail. See -https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-04-25-user-content-security for more -information. - -.. _CSP: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1021 - -Ideally, the homeserver should not simply be on a different subdomain, but on -a completely different `registered domain`_ (also known as top-level site or -eTLD+1). This is because `some attacks`_ are still possible as long as the two -applications share the same registered domain. - -.. _registered domain: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis-03#section-2.3 - -.. _some attacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_fixation#Attacks_using_cross-subdomain_cookie - -To illustrate this with an example, if your Element Web or other sensitive web -application is hosted on ``A.example1.com``, you should ideally host Synapse on -``example2.com``. Some amount of protection is offered by hosting on -``B.example1.com`` instead, so this is also acceptable in some scenarios. -However, you should *not* host your Synapse on ``A.example1.com``. - -Note that all of the above refers exclusively to the domain used in Synapse's -``public_baseurl`` setting. In particular, it has no bearing on the domain -mentioned in MXIDs hosted on that server. - -Following this advice ensures that even if an XSS is found in Synapse, the -impact to other applications will be minimal. - - -🧪 Testing a new installation -============================= - -The easiest way to try out your new Synapse installation is by connecting to it -from a web client. - -Unless you are running a test instance of Synapse on your local machine, in -general, you will need to enable TLS support before you can successfully -connect from a client: see -`TLS certificates `_. - -An easy way to get started is to login or register via Element at -https://app.element.io/#/login or https://app.element.io/#/register respectively. -You will need to change the server you are logging into from ``matrix.org`` -and instead specify a Homeserver URL of ``https://:8448`` -(or just ``https://`` if you are using a reverse proxy). -If you prefer to use another client, refer to our -`client breakdown `_. - -If all goes well you should at least be able to log in, create a room, and -start sending messages. - -.. _`client-user-reg`: - -Registering a new user from a client ------------------------------------- - -By default, registration of new users via Matrix clients is disabled. To enable -it: - -1. In the - `registration config section `_ - set ``enable_registration: true`` in ``homeserver.yaml``. -2. Then **either**: - - a. set up a `CAPTCHA `_, or - b. set ``enable_registration_without_verification: true`` in ``homeserver.yaml``. - -We **strongly** recommend using a CAPTCHA, particularly if your homeserver is exposed to -the public internet. Without it, anyone can freely register accounts on your homeserver. -This can be exploited by attackers to create spambots targeting the rest of the Matrix -federation. - -Your new user name will be formed partly from the ``server_name``, and partly -from a localpart you specify when you create the account. Your name will take -the form of:: - - @localpart:my.domain.name - -(pronounced "at localpart on my dot domain dot name"). - -As when logging in, you will need to specify a "Custom server". Specify your -desired ``localpart`` in the 'User name' box. - -🎯 Troubleshooting and support -============================== - -🚀 Professional support ------------------------ - -Enterprise quality support for Synapse including SLAs is available as part of an -`Element Server Suite (ESS) `_ subscription. - -If you are an existing ESS subscriber then you can raise a `support request `_ -and access the `knowledge base `_. - -🤝 Community support --------------------- - -The `Admin FAQ `_ -includes tips on dealing with some common problems. For more details, see -`Synapse's wider documentation `_. - -For additional support installing or managing Synapse, please ask in the community -support room |room|_ (from a matrix.org account if necessary). We do not use GitHub -issues for support requests, only for bug reports and feature requests. - -.. |room| replace:: ``#synapse:matrix.org`` -.. _room: https://matrix.to/#/#synapse:matrix.org - -.. |docs| replace:: ``docs`` -.. _docs: docs - -🪪 Identity Servers -=================== - -Identity servers have the job of mapping email addresses and other 3rd Party -IDs (3PIDs) to Matrix user IDs, as well as verifying the ownership of 3PIDs -before creating that mapping. - -**They are not where accounts or credentials are stored - these live on home -servers. Identity Servers are just for mapping 3rd party IDs to matrix IDs.** - -This process is very security-sensitive, as there is obvious risk of spam if it -is too easy to sign up for Matrix accounts or harvest 3PID data. In the longer -term, we hope to create a decentralised system to manage it (`matrix-doc #712 -`_), but in the meantime, -the role of managing trusted identity in the Matrix ecosystem is farmed out to -a cluster of known trusted ecosystem partners, who run 'Matrix Identity -Servers' such as `Sydent `_, whose role -is purely to authenticate and track 3PID logins and publish end-user public -keys. - -You can host your own copy of Sydent, but this will prevent you reaching other -users in the Matrix ecosystem via their email address, and prevent them finding -you. We therefore recommend that you use one of the centralised identity servers -at ``https://matrix.org`` or ``https://vector.im`` for now. - -To reiterate: the Identity server will only be used if you choose to associate -an email address with your account, or send an invite to another user via their -email address. - - -🛠️ Development -============== - -We welcome contributions to Synapse from the community! -The best place to get started is our -`guide for contributors `_. -This is part of our larger `documentation `_, which includes - -information for Synapse developers as well as Synapse administrators. -Developers might be particularly interested in: - -* `Synapse's database schema `_, -* `notes on Synapse's implementation details `_, and -* `how we use git `_. - -Alongside all that, join our developer community on Matrix: -`#synapse-dev:matrix.org `_, featuring real humans! +Th# Fully Decentralized and Distributed Blockchain Network for Everyone +## Introduction +Welcome to the future of blockchain technology!
