Synapse 1.18.0 (2020-07-30)
===========================
Deprecation Warnings
--------------------
### Docker Tags with `-py3` Suffix
From 10th August 2020, we will no longer publish Docker images with the `-py3` tag suffix. The images tagged with the `-py3` suffix have been identical to the non-suffixed tags since release 0.99.0, and the suffix is obsolete.
On 10th August, we will remove the `latest-py3` tag. Existing per-release tags (such as `v1.18.0-py3`) will not be removed, but no new `-py3` tags will be added.
Scripts relying on the `-py3` suffix will need to be updated.
### TCP-based Replication
When setting up worker processes, we now recommend the use of a Redis server for replication. The old direct TCP connection method is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. See [docs/workers.md](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.18.0/docs/workers.md) for more details.

### Using synctl with workers
If you want to use `synctl` to manage your synapse processes, you will need to
create an an additional configuration file for the main synapse process. That
configuration should look like this:
```yaml
worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver
```
Additionally, each worker app must be configured with the name of a "pid file",
to which it will write its process ID when it starts. For example, for a
synchrotron, you might write:
```yaml
worker_pid_file: /home/matrix/synapse/worker1.pid
```
Finally, to actually run your worker-based synapse, you must pass synctl the `-a`
commandline option to tell it to operate on all the worker configurations found
in the given directory, e.g.:
synctl -a $CONFIG/workers start
Currently one should always restart all workers when restarting or upgrading
synapse, unless you explicitly know it's safe not to. For instance, restarting
synapse without restarting all the synchrotrons may result in broken typing
notifications.
To manipulate a specific worker, you pass the -w option to synctl:
synctl -w $CONFIG/workers/worker1.yaml restart

## Master/worker communication
## Main process/worker communication
The workers communicate with the master process via a Synapse-specific protocol
called 'replication' (analogous to MySQL- or Postgres-style database
replication) which feeds a stream of relevant data from the master to the
workers so they can be kept in sync with the master process and database state.
The processes communicate with each other via a Synapse-specific protocol called
'replication' (analogous to MySQL- or Postgres-style database replication) which
feeds streams of newly written data between processes so they can be kept in
sync with the database state.
Additionally, workers may make HTTP requests to the master, to send information
in the other direction. Typically this is used for operations which need to
wait for a reply - such as sending an event.
Additionally, processes may make HTTP requests to each other. Typically this is
used for operations which need to wait for a reply - such as sending an event.
## Configuration
As of Synapse v1.13.0, it is possible to configure Synapse to send replication
via a [Redis pub/sub channel](https://redis.io/topics/pubsub), and is now the
recommended way of configuring replication. This is an alternative to the old
direct TCP connections to the main process: 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 will be a prerequisite for
upcoming performance improvements.
(See the [Architectural diagram](#architectural-diagram) section at the end for
a visualisation of what this looks like)
## Setting up workers
A Redis server is required to manage the communication between the processes.
(The older direct TCP connections are now deprecated.) The Redis server
should be installed following the normal procedure for your distribution (e.g.
`apt install redis-server` on Debian). It is safe to use an existing Redis
deployment if you have one.
Once installed, check that Redis is running and accessible from the host running
Synapse, for example by executing `echo PING | nc -q1 localhost 6379` and seeing
a response of `+PONG`.
The appropriate dependencies must also be installed for Synapse. If using a
virtualenv, these can be installed with:
```sh
pip install matrix-synapse[redis]
```
Note that these dependencies are included when synapse is installed with `pip
install matrix-synapse[all]`. They are also included in the debian packages from
`matrix.org` and in the docker images at
https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/.
To make effective use of the workers, you will need to configure an HTTP
reverse-proxy such as nginx or haproxy, which will direct incoming requests to
the correct worker, or to the main synapse instance. Note that this includes
requests made to the federation port. See [reverse_proxy.md](reverse_proxy.md)
the correct worker, or to the main synapse instance. See [reverse_proxy.md](reverse_proxy.md)
for information on setting up a reverse proxy.
To enable workers, you need to add *two* replication listeners to the
main Synapse configuration file (`homeserver.yaml`). For example:
To enable workers you should create a configuration file for each worker
process. Each worker configuration file inherits the configuration of the shared
homeserver configuration file. You can then override configuration specific to
that worker, e.g. the HTTP listener that it provides (if any); logging
configuration; etc. You should minimise the number of overrides though to
maintain a usable config.
Next you need to add both a HTTP replication listener and redis config to the
shared Synapse configuration file (`homeserver.yaml`). For example:
```yaml
# extend the existing `listeners` section. This defines the ports that the
# main process will listen on.
listeners:
# The TCP replication port
- port: 9092
bind_address: '127.0.0.1'
type: replication
# The HTTP replication port
- port: 9093
bind_address: '127.0.0.1'
type: http
resources:
- names: [replication]
redis:
enabled: true
```
Under **no circumstances** should these replication API listeners be exposed to
the public internet; they have no authentication and are unencrypted.
See the sample config for the full documentation of each option.
You should then create a set of configs for the various worker processes. Each
worker configuration file inherits the configuration of the main homeserver
configuration file. You can then override configuration specific to that
worker, e.g. the HTTP listener that it provides (if any); logging
configuration; etc. You should minimise the number of overrides though to
maintain a usable config.
Under **no circumstances** should the replication listener be exposed to the
public internet; it has no authentication and is unencrypted.
In the config file for each worker, you must specify the type of worker
application (`worker_app`). The currently available worker applications are
listed below. You must also specify the replication endpoints that it should
talk to on the main synapse process. `worker_replication_host` should specify
the host of the main synapse, `worker_replication_port` should point to the TCP
replication listener port and `worker_replication_http_port` should point to
the HTTP replication port.
application (`worker_app`), and you should specify a unqiue name for the worker
(`worker_name`). The currently available worker applications are listed below.
You must also specify the HTTP replication endpoint that it should talk to on
the main synapse process. `worker_replication_host` should specify the host of
the main synapse and `worker_replication_http_port` should point to the HTTP
replication port. If the worker will handle HTTP requests then the
`worker_listeners` option should be set with a `http` listener, in the same way
as the `listeners` option in the shared config.
For example:
```yaml
worker_app: synapse.app.synchrotron
worker_app: synapse.app.generic_worker
worker_name: worker1
# The replication listener on the synapse to talk to.
# The replication listener on the main synapse process.

### **Experimental** support for replication over redis
As of Synapse v1.13.0, it is possible to configure Synapse to send replication
via a [Redis pub/sub channel](https://redis.io/topics/pubsub). This is an
alternative to direct TCP connections to the master: rather than all the
workers connecting to the master, all the workers and the master connect to
Redis, which relays replication commands between processes. This can give a
significant cpu saving on the master and will be a prerequisite for upcoming
performance improvements.
Note that this support is currently experimental; you may experience lost
messages and similar problems! It is strongly recommended that admins setting
up workers for the first time use direct TCP replication as above.
To configure Synapse to use Redis:
1. Install Redis following the normal procedure for your distribution - for
example, on Debian, `apt install redis-server`. (It is safe to use an
existing Redis deployment if you have one: we use a pub/sub stream named
according to the `server_name` of your synapse server.)
2. Check Redis is running and accessible: you should be able to `echo PING | nc -q1
localhost 6379` and get a response of `+PONG`.
3. Install the python prerequisites. If you installed synapse into a
virtualenv, this can be done with:
```sh
pip install matrix-synapse[redis]
```
The debian packages from matrix.org already include the required
dependencies.
4. Add config to the shared configuration (`homeserver.yaml`):
```yaml
redis:
enabled: true
```
Optional parameters which can go alongside `enabled` are `host`, `port`,
`password`. Normally none of these are required.
5. Restart master and all workers.
Once redis replication is in use, `worker_replication_port` is redundant and
can be removed from the worker configuration files. Similarly, the
configuration for the `listener` for the TCP replication port can be removed
from the main configuration file. Note that the HTTP replication port is
still required.
### Using synctl
If you want to use `synctl` to manage your synapse processes, you will need to
create an an additional configuration file for the master synapse process. That
configuration should look like this:
```yaml
worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver
```
Additionally, each worker app must be configured with the name of a "pid file",
to which it will write its process ID when it starts. For example, for a
synchrotron, you might write:
```yaml
worker_pid_file: /home/matrix/synapse/synchrotron.pid
```
Finally, to actually run your worker-based synapse, you must pass synctl the `-a`
commandline option to tell it to operate on all the worker configurations found
in the given directory, e.g.:
synctl -a $CONFIG/workers start
Currently one should always restart all workers when restarting or upgrading
synapse, unless you explicitly know it's safe not to. For instance, restarting
synapse without restarting all the synchrotrons may result in broken typing
notifications.
To manipulate a specific worker, you pass the -w option to synctl:
synctl -w $CONFIG/workers/synchrotron.yaml restart
## Available worker applications
### `synapse.app.pusher`
### `synapse.app.generic_worker`
Handles sending push notifications to sygnal and email. Doesn't handle any
REST endpoints itself, but you should set `start_pushers: False` in the
shared configuration file to stop the main synapse sending these notifications.
Note this worker cannot be load-balanced: only one instance should be active.
### `synapse.app.synchrotron`
The synchrotron handles `sync` requests from clients. In particular, it can
handle REST endpoints matching the following regular expressions:
This worker can handle API requests matching the following regular
expressions:
# Sync requests
^/_matrix/client/(v2_alpha|r0)/sync$
^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|v2_alpha|r0)/events$
^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0)/initialSync$
^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0)/rooms/[^/]+/initialSync$
The above endpoints should all be routed to the synchrotron worker by the
reverse-proxy configuration.
It is possible to run multiple instances of the synchrotron to scale
horizontally. In this case the reverse-proxy should be configured to
load-balance across the instances, though it will be more efficient if all
requests from a particular user are routed to a single instance. Extracting
a userid from the access token is currently left as an exercise for the reader.
### `synapse.app.appservice`
Handles sending output traffic to Application Services. Doesn't handle any
REST endpoints itself, but you should set `notify_appservices: False` in the
shared configuration file to stop the main synapse sending these notifications.
Note this worker cannot be load-balanced: only one instance should be active.

endpoints matching the following regular expressions:

Additionally, the following REST endpoints can be handled for GET requests:
^/_matrix/federation/v1/groups/
The above endpoints should all be routed to the federation_reader worker by the
reverse-proxy configuration.
Pagination requests can also be handled, but all requests for a given
room must be routed to the same instance. Additionally, care must be taken to
ensure that the purge history admin API is not used while pagination requests
for the room are in flight:
The `^/_matrix/federation/v1/send/` endpoint must only be handled by a single
instance.
^/_matrix/client/(api/v1|r0|unstable)/rooms/.*/messages$
Note that `federation` must be added to the listener resources in the worker config:
Note that a HTTP listener with `client` and `federation` resources must be
configured in the `worker_listeners` option in the worker config.
#### Load balancing
It is possible to run multiple instances of this worker app, with incoming requests
being load-balanced between them by the reverse-proxy. However, different endpoints
have different characteristics and so admins
may wish to run multiple groups of workers handling different endpoints so that
load balancing can be done in different ways.
For `/sync` and `/initialSync` requests it will be more efficient if all
requests from a particular user are routed to a single instance. Extracting a
user ID from the access token or `Authorization` header is currently left as an
exercise for the reader. Admins may additionally wish to separate out `/sync`
requests that have a `since` query parameter from those that don't (and
`/initialSync`), as requests that don't are known as "initial sync" that happens
when a user logs in on a new device and can be *very* resource intensive, so
isolating these requests will stop them from interfering with other users ongoing
syncs.
Federation and client requests can be balanced via simple round robin.
The inbound federation transaction request `^/_matrix/federation/v1/send/`
should be balanced by source IP so that transactions from the same remote server
go to the same process.
Registration/login requests can be handled separately purely to help ensure that
unexpected load doesn't affect new logins and sign ups.
Finally, event sending requests can be balanced by the room ID in the URI (or
the full URI, or even just round robin), the room ID is the path component after
`/rooms/`. If there is a large bridge connected that is sending or may send lots
of events, then a dedicated set of workers can be provisioned to limit the
effects of bursts of events from that bridge on events sent by normal users.
#### Stream writers
Additionally, there is *experimental* support for moving writing of specific
streams (such as events) off of the main process to a particular worker. (This
is only supported with Redis-based replication.)
Currently support streams are `events` and `typing`.
To enable this, the worker must have a HTTP replication listener configured,
have a `worker_name` and be listed in the `instance_map` config. For example to
move event persistence off to a dedicated worker, the shared configuration would
include:
```yaml
worker_app: synapse.app.federation_reader
...
worker_listeners:
- type: http
port: <port>
resources:
- names:

REST endpoints itself, but you should set `start_pushers: False` in the
shared configuration file to stop the main synapse sending push notifications.
Note this worker cannot be load-balanced: only one instance should be active.
### `synapse.app.appservice`
Handles sending output traffic to Application Services. Doesn't handle any
REST endpoints itself, but you should set `notify_appservices: False` in the
shared configuration file to stop the main synapse sending appservice notifications.
Note this worker cannot be load-balanced: only one instance should be active.
### `synapse.app.federation_sender`

REST endpoints itself, but you should set `send_federation: False` in the
shared configuration file to stop the main synapse sending this traffic.
Note this worker cannot be load-balanced: only one instance should be active.
If running multiple federation senders then you must list each
instance in the `federation_sender_instances` option by their `worker_name`.
All instances must be stopped and started when adding or removing instances.
