Generally try to make this more comprehensible, and make it match the
conventions.
I've removed the documentation for all the settings which allow you to change
the names of the template files, because I can't really see why they are
useful.
This is a combination of a few different PRs, finally all being merged into `develop`:
* #5875
* #5876
* #5868 (This one added the `/versions` flag but the flag itself was actually [backed out](891afb57cb (diff-e591d42d30690ffb79f63bb726200891)) in #5969. What's left is just giving /versions access to the config file, which could be useful in the future)
* #5835
* #5969
* #5940
Clients should not actually use the new registration functionality until https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5972 is merged.
UPGRADE.rst, changelog entries and config file changes should all be reviewed closely before this PR is merged.
Fixes#5833
The emailconfig code was attempting to pull incorrect config file names. This corrects that, while also marking a difference between a config file variable that's a filepath versus a str containing HTML.
The runtime errors that dealt with local email password resets talked about config options that users may not even have in their config file yet (if upgrading). Instead, the cryptic errors are now replaced with hopefully much more helpful ones.
Moves the warning about password resets being disabled to the point where a user actually tries to reset their password. Is this an appropriate place for it to happen?
Also removed the disabling of msisdn password resets when you don't have an email config, as that just doesn't make sense.
Also change the error a user receives upon disabled passwords to specify that only email-based password reset is disabled.
Sends password reset emails from the homeserver instead of proxying to the identity server. This is now the default behaviour for security reasons. If you wish to continue proxying password reset requests to the identity server you must now enable the email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets option.
This PR is a culmination of 3 smaller PRs which have each been separately reviewed:
* #5308
* #5345
* #5368
move the example email templates into the synapse package so that they can be
used as package data, which should mean that all of the packaging mechanisms
(pip, docker, debian, arch, etc) should now come with the example templates.
In order to grandfather in people who relied on the templates being in the old
place, check for that situation and fall back to using the defaults if the
templates directory does not exist.
The URLs used for notification emails were hardcoded to use either matrix.to
or vector.im; but for self-hosted setups where Riot is also self-hosted it
may be desirable to allow configuring an alternative Riot URL.
Fixes#1809.
