Otherwise I get this beautiful stacktrace: ``` python3 -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path /etc/matrix/homeserver.yaml Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "/usr/lib/python3.8/runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/root/synapse/synapse/app/homeserver.py", line 455, in <module> main() File "/root/synapse/synapse/app/homeserver.py", line 445, in main hs = setup(sys.argv[1:]) File "/root/synapse/synapse/app/homeserver.py", line 345, in setup config = HomeServerConfig.load_or_generate_config( File "/root/synapse/synapse/config/_base.py", line 671, in load_or_generate_config config_dict = read_config_files(config_files) File "/root/synapse/synapse/config/_base.py", line 717, in read_config_files yaml_config = yaml.safe_load(file_stream) File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/__init__.py", line 125, in safe_load return load(stream, SafeLoader) File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/__init__.py", line 81, in load return loader.get_single_data() File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/constructor.py", line 49, in get_single_data node = self.get_single_node() File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 36, in get_single_node document = self.compose_document() File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 55, in compose_document node = self.compose_node(None, None) File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 84, in compose_node node = self.compose_mapping_node(anchor) File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 133, in compose_mapping_node item_value = self.compose_node(node, item_key) File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 82, in compose_node node = self.compose_sequence_node(anchor) File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 110, in compose_sequence_node while not self.check_event(SequenceEndEvent): File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 98, in check_event self.current_event = self.state() File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 379, in parse_block_sequence_first_entry return self.parse_block_sequence_entry() File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 384, in parse_block_sequence_entry if not self.check_token(BlockEntryToken, BlockEndToken): File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/scanner.py", line 116, in check_token self.fetch_more_tokens() File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/scanner.py", line 227, in fetch_more_tokens return self.fetch_alias() File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/scanner.py", line 610, in fetch_alias self.tokens.append(self.scan_anchor(AliasToken)) File "/root/synapse/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yaml/scanner.py", line 922, in scan_anchor raise ScannerError("while scanning an %s" % name, start_mark, yaml.scanner.ScannerError: while scanning an alias in "/etc/matrix/homeserver.yaml", line 614, column 5 expected alphabetic or numeric character, but found '.' in "/etc/matrix/homeserver.yaml", line 614, column 6 ``` Signed-off-by: Nicolai Søborg <git@xn--sb-lka.org> |

Synapse Documentation
The documentation is currently hosted here. Please update any links to point to the new website instead.
About
This directory currently holds a series of markdown files documenting how to install, use and develop Synapse. The documentation is readable directly from this repository, but it is recommended to instead browse through the website for easier discoverability.
Adding to the documentation
Most of the documentation currently exists as top-level files, as when organising them into
a structured website, these files were kept in place so that existing links would not break.
The rest of the documentation is stored in folders, such as setup
, usage
, and development
etc. All new documentation files should be placed in structured folders. For example:
To create a new user-facing documentation page about a new Single Sign-On protocol named "MyCoolProtocol", one should create a new file with a relevant name, such as "my_cool_protocol.md". This file might fit into the documentation structure at:
- Usage
- Configuration
- User Authentication
- Single Sign-On
- My Cool Protocol
- Single Sign-On
- User Authentication
- Configuration
Given that, one would place the new file under
usage/configuration/user_authentication/single_sign_on/my_cool_protocol.md
.
Note that the structure of the documentation (and thus the left sidebar on the website) is determined by the list in SUMMARY.md. The final thing to do when adding a new page is to add a new line linking to the new documentation file:
- [My Cool Protocol](usage/configuration/user_authentication/single_sign_on/my_cool_protocol.md)
Building the documentation
The documentation is built with mdbook, and the outline of the documentation is determined by the structure of SUMMARY.md.
First, get mdbook. Then, from the root of the repository, build the documentation with:
mdbook build
The rendered contents will be outputted to a new book/
directory at the root of the repository. You can
browse the book by opening book/index.html
in a web browser.
You can also have mdbook host the docs on a local webserver with hot-reload functionality via:
mdbook serve
The URL at which the docs can be viewed at will be logged.
Configuration and theming
The look and behaviour of the website is configured by the book.toml file at the root of the repository. See mdbook's documentation on configuration for available options.
The site can be themed and additionally extended with extra UI and features. See website_files/README.md for details.
