## Synapse 0.34.0 and Python 3
|
|
|
|
Synapse has been upgraded to 0.34.0 and now uses Python 3.
|
|
Based on feedback from others, running Synapse on Python 3 is supposed to decrease memory usage significantly (~2x).
|
|
|
|

## LDAP auth support via matrix-synapse-ldap3
|
|
|
|
The playbook can now install and configure [LDAP auth support](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-ldap3) for you.
|
|
|
|
Additional details are available in [Setting up the LDAP authentication password provider module](docs/configuring-playbook-ldap-auth.md).

## Support for controlling public registration and room auto-join
|
|
|
|
The playbook now lets you enable public registration for users (controlled via `matrix_synapse_enable_registration`).
|
|
By default, public registration is forbidden.
|
|
|
|
You can also make people automatically get auto-joined to rooms (controlled via `matrix_synapse_auto_join_rooms`).
|
|
|
|
## Support for changing the welcome user id (welcome bot)
|
|
|
|
By default, `@riot-bot:matrix.org` is used to welcome newly registered users.
|
|
This can be changed to something else (or disabled) via the new `matrix_riot_web_welcome_user_id` variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|

## Ability to set Synapse log levels
|
|
|
|
The playbook now allows you to set the log levels used by Synapse. The default logging levels remain the same.
|
|
|
|
You can now override following variables with any of the supported log levels listed here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging-levels
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
matrix_synapse_log_level: "INFO"
|
|
matrix_synapse_storage_sql_log_level: "INFO"
|
|
matrix_synapse_root_log_level: "INFO"
|
|
```

## Customize parts of Riot's config
|
|
|
|
You can now customize some parts of Riot's `config.json`. These playbook variables, with these default values, have been added:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
matrix_riot_web_disable_custom_urls: true
|
|
matrix_riot_web_disable_guests: true
|
|
matrix_riot_web_integrations_ui_url: "https://scalar.vector.im/"
|
|
matrix_riot_web_integrations_rest_url: "https://scalar.vector.im/api"
|
|
matrix_riot_web_integrations_widgets_urls: "https://scalar.vector.im/api"
|
|
matrix_riot_web_integrations_jitsi_widget_url: "https://scalar.vector.im/api/widgets/jitsi.html"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This now allows you use a custom integrations manager like [Dimesion](https://dimension.t2bot.io). For example, if you wish to use the Dimension instance hosted at dimension.t2bot.io, you can set the following in your vars.yml file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
matrix_riot_web_integrations_ui_url: "https://dimension.t2bot.io/riot"
|
|
matrix_riot_web_integrations_rest_url: "https://dimension.t2bot.io/api/v1/scalar"
|
|
matrix_riot_web_integrations_widgets_urls: "https://dimension.t2bot.io/widgets"
|
|
matrix_riot_web_integrations_jitsi_widget_url: "https://dimension.t2bot.io/widgets/jitsi"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## SSL protocols used to serve Riot and Synapse
|
|
|
|
There's now a new `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_protocols` playbook variable, which controls the SSL protocols used to serve Riot and Synapse. Its default value is `TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2`. This playbook previously used `TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2` to serve Riot and Synapse.
|
|
|
|
You may wish to reenable TLSv1 if you need to access Riot in older browsers.
|
|
|
|
Note: Currently the dockerized nginx doesn't support TLSv1.3. See https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx/issues/190 for more details.

|
## Postgres 11 support
|
|
|
|
The playbook now installs [Postgres 11](https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1894/) by default.
|
|
|
|
If you have have an existing setup, it's likely running on an older Postgres version (9.x or 10.x). You can easily upgrade by following the [Maintenance / upgrading PostgreSQL](docs/maintenance-upgrading-postgres.md) guide.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## (BC Break) Renaming playbook variables
|
|
|
|
Due to the large amount of features added to this playbook lately, to keep things manageable we've had to reorganize its configuration variables a bit.
|
|
|
|
The following playbook variables were renamed:
|
|
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_mxisd` to `matrix_mxisd_docker_image`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_mautrix_telegram` to `matrix_mautrix_telegram_docker_image`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_mautrix_whatsapp` to `matrix_mautrix_whatsapp_docker_image`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_mailer` to `matrix_mailer_docker_image`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_coturn` to `matrix_coturn_docker_image`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_goofys` to `matrix_s3_goofys_docker_image`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_riot` to `matrix_riot_web_docker_image`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_nginx` to `matrix_nginx_proxy_docker_image`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_synapse` to `matrix_synapse_docker_image`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_postgres_v9` to `matrix_postgres_docker_image_v9`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_postgres_v10` to `matrix_postgres_docker_image_v10`
|
|
- from `matrix_docker_image_postgres_latest` to `matrix_postgres_docker_image_latest`
|

## Mautrix Whatsapp bridging support
|
|
|
|
The playbook now supports bridging with [Whatsapp](https://www.whatsapp.com/) by installing the [mautrix-whatsapp](https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp) bridge. This playbook functionality is available thanks to [@izissise](https://github.com/izissise).
|
|
|
|
Additional details are available in [Setting up Mautrix Whatsapp bridging](docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-whatsapp.md).

|
## Support for controlling Matrix federation
|
|
|
|
The playbook can now help you with [Controlling Matrix federation](docs/configuring-playbook-federation), should you wish to run a more private (isolated) server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-10-24

|
|
## Disabling riot-web guests
|
|
|
|
From now on, Riot's configuration setting `disable_guests` would be set to `true`.
|
|
The homeserver was rejecting guests anyway, so this is just a cosmetic change affecting Riot's UI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-10-21
|
|
|
|
## Self-check maintenance command
|
|
|
|
The playbook can now [check if services are configured correctly](docs/maintenance-checking-services.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-10-05
|
|
|
|
## Presence tracking made configurable
|
|
|
|
The playbook can now enable/disable user presence-status tracking in Synapse, through the playbook's `matrix_synapse_use_presence` variable (having a default value of `true` - enabled).
|
|
|
|
If users participate in large rooms with many other servers, disabling presence will decrease server load significantly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-09-27
|
|
|
|
## Synapse Cache Factor made configurable
|
|
|
|
The playbook now makes the Synapse cache factor configurable, through the playbook's `matrix_synapse_cache_factor` variable (having a default value of `0.5`).
|
|
|
|
Changing that value allows you to potentially decrease RAM usage or to increase performance by caching more stuff.
|
|
Some information on it is available here: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#help-synapse-eats-all-my-ram
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-09-26
|
|
|
|
## Disabling Docker container logging
|
|
|
|
`--log-driver=none` is used for all Docker containers now.
|
|
|
|
All these containers are started through systemd anyway and get logged in journald, so there's no need for Docker to be logging the same thing using the default `json-file` driver. Doing that was growing `/var/lib/docker/containers/..` infinitely until service/container restart.
|
|
|
|
As a result of this, things like `docker logs matrix-synapse` won't work anymore. `journalctl -u matrix-synapse` is how one can see the logs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-09-17
|
|
|
|
## Service discovery support
|
|
|
|
The playbook now helps you set up [service discovery](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.4.0.html#server-discovery) using a `/.well-known/matrix/client` file.
|
|
|
|
Additional details are available in [Configuring service discovery via .well-known](docs/configuring-well-known.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## (BC Break) Renaming playbook variables
|
|
|
|
The following playbook variables were renamed:
|
|
|
|
- from `matrix_nginx_riot_web_data_path` to `matrix_riot_web_data_path`
|
|
- from `matrix_riot_web_default_identity_server_url` to `matrix_identity_server_url`
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-09-07
|
|
|
|
## Mautrix Telegram bridging support
|
|
|
|
The playbook now supports bridging with [Telegram](https://telegram.org/) by installing the [mautrix-telegram](https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-telegram) bridge. This playbook functionality is available thanks to [@izissise](https://github.com/izissise).
|
|
|
|
Additional details are available in [Setting up Mautrix Telegram bridging](docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-telegram.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Events cache size increase and configurability for Matrix Synapse
|
|
|
|
The playbook now lets you configure Matrix Synapse's `event_cache_size` configuration via the `matrix_synapse_event_cache_size` playbook variable.
|
|
|
|
Previously, this value was hardcoded to `"10K"`. From now on, a more reasonable default of `"100K"` is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Password-peppering support for Matrix Synapse
|
|
|
|
The playbook now supports enabling password-peppering for increased security in Matrix Synapse via the `matrix_synapse_password_config_pepper` playbook variable. Using a password pepper is disabled by default (just like it used to be before this playbook variable got introduced) and is not to be enabled/disabled after initial setup, as that would invalidate all existing passwords.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Statistics-reporting support for Matrix Synapse
|
|
|
|
There's now a new `matrix_synapse_report_stats` playbook variable, which controls the `report_stats` configuration option for Matrix Synapse. It defaults to `false`, so no change is required to retain your privacy.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to start reporting statistics about your homeserver (things like number of users, number of messages sent, uptime, load, etc.) to matrix.org, you can turn on stats reporting.
|
|
|

## Changing the way SSL certificates are retrieved
|
|
|
|
We've been using [acmetool](https://github.com/hlandau/acme) (with the [willwill/acme-docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/willwill/acme-docker/) Docker image) until now.
|
|
|
|
Due to the Docker image being deprecated, and things looking bleak for acmetool's support of the newer ACME v2 API endpoint, we've switched to using [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/) (with the [certbot/certbot](https://hub.docker.com/r/certbot/certbot/) Docker image).
|
|
|
|
Simply re-running the playbook will retrieve new certificates (via certbot) for you.
|
|
To ensure you don't leave any old files behind, though, you'd better do this:
|
|
|
|
- `systemctl stop 'matrix*'`
|
|
- stop your custom webserver, if you're running one (only affects you if you've installed with `matrix_nginx_proxy_enabled: false`)
|
|
- `mv /matrix/ssl /matrix/ssl-acmetool-delete-later`
|
|
- re-run the playbook's [installation](docs/installing.md)
|
|
- possibly delete `/matrix/ssl-acmetool-delete-later`
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-08-21

|
|
## Matrix Corporal support
|
|
|
|
The playbook can now install and configure [matrix-corporal](https://github.com/devture/matrix-corporal) for you.
|
|
|
|
Additional details are available in [Setting up Matrix Corporal](docs/configuring-playbook-matrix-corporal.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-08-20
|
|
|
|
## Matrix Synapse rate limit control variables
|
|
|
|
The following new variables can now be configured to control Matrix Synapse's rate-limiting (default values are shown below).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_synapse_rc_messages_per_second: 0.2
|
|
matrix_synapse_rc_message_burst_count: 10.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Shared Secret Auth support via matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth
|
|
|
|
The playbook can now install and configure [matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth](https://github.com/devture/matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth) for you.
|
|
|
|
Additional details are available in [Setting up the Shared Secret Auth password provider module](docs/configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-08-17
|
|
|
|
## REST auth support via matrix-synapse-rest-auth
|
|
|
|
The playbook can now install and configure [matrix-synapse-rest-auth](https://github.com/kamax-io/matrix-synapse-rest-auth) for you.
|
|
|
|
Additional details are available in [Setting up the REST authentication password provider module](docs/configuring-playbook-rest-auth.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Compression improvements
|
|
|
|
Shifted Matrix Synapse compression from happening in the Matrix Synapse,
|
|
to happening in the nginx proxy that's in front of it.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, `riot-web` also gets compressed now (in the nginx proxy),
|
|
which drops the initial page load's size from 5.31MB to 1.86MB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Disabling some unnecessary Synapse services
|
|
|
|
The following services are not necessary, so they have been disabled:
|
|
- on the federation port (8448): the `client` service
|
|
- on the http port (8008, exposed over 443): the old Angular `webclient` and the `federation` service
|
|
|
|
Federation runs only on the federation port (8448) now.
|
|
The Client APIs run only on the http port (8008) now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-08-15
|
|
|
|
## mxisd Identity Server support
|
|
|
|
The playbook now sets up an [mxisd](https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd) Identity Server for you by default.
|
|
Additional details are available in [Adjusting mxisd Identity Server configuration](docs/configuring-playbook-mxisd.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-08-14
|
|
|
|
## Email-sending support
|
|
|
|
The playbook now configures an email-sending service (postfix) by default.
|
|
Additional details are available in [Adjusting email-sending settings](docs/configuring-playbook-email.md).
|
|
|
|
With this, Matrix Synapse is able to send email notifications for missed messages, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 2018-08-08
|
|
|
|
|
|
## (BC Break) Renaming playbook variables
|
|
|
|
The following playbook variables were renamed:
|
|
|
|
- from `matrix_max_upload_size_mb` to `matrix_synapse_max_upload_size_mb`
|
|
- from `matrix_max_log_file_size_mb` to `matrix_synapse_max_log_file_size_mb`
|
|
- from `matrix_max_log_files_count` to `matrix_synapse_max_log_files_count`
|
|
- from `docker_matrix_image` to `matrix_docker_image_synapse`
|
|
- from `docker_nginx_image` to `matrix_docker_image_nginx`
|
|
- from `docker_riot_image` to `matrix_docker_image_riot`
|
|
- from `docker_goofys_image` to `matrix_docker_image_goofys`
|
|
- from `docker_coturn_image` to `matrix_docker_image_coturn`
|
|
|
|
If you're overriding any of them in your `vars.yml` file, you'd need to change to the new names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Renaming Ansible playbook tag
|
|
|
|
The command for executing the whole playbook has changed.
|
|
The `setup-main` tag got renamed to `setup-all`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Docker container linking
|
|
|
|
Changed the way the Docker containers are linked together. The ones that need to communicate with others operate in a `matrix` network now and not in the default bridge network.
|
