## Synapse Maintenance docs and synapse-janitor support are available
The playbook can now help you with Synapse's maintenance.
There's a new documentation page about [Synapse maintenance](./docs/maintenance-synapse.md) and another section on [Postgres vacuuming](./docs/maintenance-postgres.md#vacuuming-postgresql).
Among other things, if your Postgres database has grown significantly over time, you may wish to [ask the playbook to purge unused data with synapse-janitor](./docs/maintenance-synapse.md#purging-unused-data-with-synapse-janitor) for you.
## (BC Break) Rename run control variables
Some internal playbook control variables have been renamed.
This change **only affects people who run this playbook's roles from another playbook**.
If you're using this playbook as-is, you're not affected and don't need to do anything.
The following variables have been renamed:
- from `run_import_postgres` to `run_postgres_import`
- from `run_import_sqlite_db` to `run_postgres_import_sqlite_db`
- from `run_upgrade_postgres` to `run_postgres_upgrade`
- from `run_import_media_store` to `run_synapse_import_media_store`
- from `run_register_user` to `run_synapse_register_user`
- from `run_update_user_password` to `run_synapse_update_user_password`

## Vacuuming PostgreSQL
To perform a `FULL` Postgres [VACUUM](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-vacuum.html), run the playbook with `--tags=run-postgres-vacuum`.
Example:
```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=run-postgres-vacuum,start
```
**Note**: this will automatically stop Synapse temporarily and restart it later. You'll also need plenty of available disk space in your Postgres data directory (usually `/matrix/postgres/data`).

# Synapse maintenance
This document shows you how to perform various maintenance tasks related to the Synapse chat server.
Table of contents:
- [Purging unused data with synapse-janitor](#purging-unused-data-with-synapse-janitor), for when you wish to delete unused data from the Synapse database
- [Purging old data with the Purge History API](#purging-old-data-with-the-purge-history-api), for when you wish to delete in-use (but old) data from the Synapse database
- [Compressing state with rust-synapse-compress-state](#compressing-state-with-rust-synapse-compress-state), for when you wish to compress some Synapse state tables using the [rust-synapse-compress-state](https://github.com/matrix-org/rust-synapse-compress-state) tool
## Purging unused data with synapse-janitor
When you **leave** and **forget** a room, Synapse can clean up its data, but currently doesn't.
This **unused and unreachable data** remains in your database forever.
There are external tools (like [synapse-janitor](https://github.com/xwiki-labs/synapse_scripts)), which are meant to solve this problem.
To ask the playbook to run synapse-janitor, execute:
```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=run-postgres-synapse-janitor,start
```
**Note**: this will automatically stop Synapse temporarily and restart it later.
### Vacuuming Postgres
Running synapse-janitor potentially deletes a lot of data from the Postgres database.
However, disk space only ever gets released after a [`FULL` Postgres `VACUUM`](./maintenance-postgres.md#vacuuming-postgresql).
It's easiest if you ask the playbook to run both synapse-janitor and a `VACUUM FULL` in one call:
```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=run-postgres-synapse-janitor,run-postgres-vacuum,start
```
**Note**: this will automatically stop Synapse temporarily and restart it later. You'll also need plenty of available disk space in your Postgres data directory (usually `/matrix/postgres/data`).
## Purging old data with the Purge History API
If [purging unused and unreachable data](#purging-unused-data-with-synapse-janitor) is not enough for you, you can start deleting in-use (but old) data.
**This is destructive** (especially for non-federated rooms), because it means **people will no longer have access to history past a certain point**.
Synapse provides a [Purge History API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/admin_api/purge_history_api.rst) that you can use to purge on a per-room basis.
To make use of this API, **you'll need an admin access token** first. You can find your access token in the setting of some clients (like riot-web).
Alternatively, you can log in and obtain a new access token like this:
```
curl \
--data '{"identifier": {"type": "m.id.user", "user": "YOUR_MATRIX_USERNAME" }, "password": "YOUR_MATRIX_PASSWORD", "type": "m.login.password", "device_id": "Synapse-Purge-History-API"}' \
https://matrix.DOMAIN/_matrix/client/r0/login
```
Follow the [Purge History API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/admin_api/purge_history_api.rst) documentation page for the actual purging instructions.
Don't forget that disk space only ever gets released after a [`FULL` Postgres `VACUUM`](./maintenance-postgres.md#vacuuming-postgresql) - something the playbook can help you with.
## Compressing state with rust-synapse-compress-state
[rust-synapse-compress-state](https://github.com/matrix-org/rust-synapse-compress-state) can be used to optimize some `_state` tables used by Synapse.
Unfortunately, at this time the playbook can't help you run this **experimental tool**.
Since it's also experimental, you may wish to stay away from it, or at least [make Postgres backups](./maintenance-postgres.md#backing-up-postgresql) first.
