 ## How to contribute
 
-The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
-project on github, and then [create a pull request](
-https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
-changes into our repo.
+The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes to Matrix is to fork the
+relevant project on github, and then [create a pull request](
+https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull
+your changes into our repo.
 
-Some other points to follow:
+**The single biggest thing you need to know is: please base your changes on
+the develop branch - *not* master.**
 
- * Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
+We use the master branch to track the most recent release, so that folks who
+blindly clone the repo and automatically check out master get something that
+works. Develop is the unstable branch where all the development actually
+happens: the workflow is that contributors should fork the develop branch to
+make a 'feature' branch for a particular contribution, and then make a pull
+request to merge this back into the matrix.org 'official' develop branch. We
+use github's pull request workflow to review the contribution, and either ask
+you to make any refinements needed or merge it and make them ourselves. The
+changes will then land on master when we next do a release.
 
- * Please follow the [code style requirements](#code-style).
+We use [Buildkite](https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/synapse) for continuous
+integration. If your change breaks the build, this will be shown in GitHub, so
+please keep an eye on the pull request for feedback.
 
- * Please include a [changelog entry](#changelog) with each PR.
+To run unit tests in a local development environment, you can use:
 
- * Please [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution.
+- ``tox -e py35`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``)

 ## Code style
 
-Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
-it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration

+All Matrix projects have a well-defined code-style - and sometimes we've even
+got as far as documenting it... For instance, synapse's code style doc lives
+[here](docs/code_style.md).
 
-Many of the conventions are enforced by scripts which are run as part of the
-[continuous integration system](#continuous-integration-and-testing). To help
-check if you have followed the code style, you can run `scripts-dev/lint.sh`

 ```
 # Install the dependencies
-pip install -e ".[lint,mypy]"
+pip install -U black flake8 flake8-comprehensions isort
 
 # Run the linter script
 ./scripts-dev/lint.sh
 ```
 
 **Note that the script does not just test/check, but also reformats code, so you
-may wish to ensure any new code is committed first**.

-By default, this script checks all files and can take some time; if you alter

-A port of Synapse is available under `net/synapse`. The filesystem

-mounted with `wxallowed` (cf. `mount(8)`), so creating a separate filesystem
-and mounting it to `/var/synapse` should be taken into consideration.
+Installing prerequisites on OpenBSD:
 
-To be able to build Synapse's dependency on python the `WRKOBJDIR`
-(cf. `bsd.port.mk(5)`) for building python, too, needs to be on a filesystem
-mounted with `wxallowed` (cf. `mount(8)`).
-
-Creating a `WRKOBJDIR` for building python under `/usr/local` (which on a
-default OpenBSD installation is mounted with `wxallowed`):
-
-```sh
-doas mkdir /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
+```
+doas pkg_add python libffi py-pip py-setuptools sqlite3 py-virtualenv \
+              libxslt jpeg
 ```
 
-Assuming `PORTS_PRIVSEP=Yes` (cf. `bsd.port.mk(5)`) and `SUDO=doas` are
-configured in `/etc/mk.conf`:
+There is currently no port for OpenBSD. Additionally, OpenBSD's security
+settings require a slightly more difficult installation process.
 
-```sh
-doas chown _pbuild:_pbuild /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
-```
+XXX: I suspect this is out of date.
 
-Setting the `WRKOBJDIR` for building python:
+1. Create a new directory in `/usr/local` called `_synapse`. Also, create a
+   new user called `_synapse` and set that directory as the new user's home.
+   This is required because, by default, OpenBSD only allows binaries which need
+   write and execute permissions on the same memory space to be run from
+   `/usr/local`.
+2. `su` to the new `_synapse` user and change to their home directory.
+3. Create a new virtualenv: `virtualenv -p python2.7 ~/.synapse`
+4. Source the virtualenv configuration located at
+   `/usr/local/_synapse/.synapse/bin/activate`. This is done in `ksh` by
+   using the `.` command, rather than `bash`'s `source`.
+5. Optionally, use `pip` to install `lxml`, which Synapse needs to parse
+   webpages for their titles.
+6. Use `pip` to install this repository: `pip install matrix-synapse`
+7. Optionally, change `_synapse`'s shell to `/bin/false` to reduce the
+   chance of a compromised Synapse server being used to take over your box.
 
-```sh
-echo WRKOBJDIR_lang/python/3.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed  \\nWRKOBJDIR_lang/python/2.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed >> /etc/mk.conf
-```
+After this, you may proceed with the rest of the install directions.

-### Prebuilt packages
+### Troubleshooting Installation
+
+XXX a bunch of this is no longer relevant.
+
+Synapse requires pip 8 or later, so if your OS provides too old a version you
+may need to manually upgrade it::
+
+    sudo pip install --upgrade pip
+
+Installing may fail with `Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pymacaroons-pynacl (from matrix-synapse==0.12.0)`.
+You can fix this by manually upgrading pip and virtualenv::
+
+    sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv
+
+You can next rerun `virtualenv -p python3 synapse` to update the virtual env.
+
+Installing may fail during installing virtualenv with `InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.`
+You can fix this  by manually installing ndg-httpsclient::
+
+    pip install --upgrade ndg-httpsclient
+
+Installing may fail with `mock requires setuptools>=17.1. Aborting installation`.
+You can fix this by upgrading setuptools::
+
+    pip install --upgrade setuptools
+
+If pip crashes mid-installation for reason (e.g. lost terminal), pip may
+refuse to run until you remove the temporary installation directory it
+created. To reset the installation::
+
+    rm -rf /tmp/pip_install_matrix
+
+pip seems to leak *lots* of memory during installation.  For instance, a Linux
+host with 512MB of RAM may run out of memory whilst installing Twisted.  If this
+happens, you will have to individually install the dependencies which are
+failing, e.g.::
+
+    pip install twisted

-Almost all installations should opt to use [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org). Advantages include:

-- significant performance improvements due to the superior threading and
-  caching model, smarter query optimiser
-- allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware

+Using PostgreSQL
+================
+
+Synapse offers two database engines:
+ * `SQLite <https://sqlite.org/>`_
+ * `PostgreSQL <https://www.postgresql.org>`_
+
+By default Synapse uses SQLite in and doing so trades performance for convenience.
+SQLite is only recommended in Synapse for testing purposes or for servers with
+light workloads.
+
+Almost all installations should opt to use PostreSQL. Advantages include:
+
+* significant performance improvements due to the superior threading and
+  caching model, smarter query optimiser
+* allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware
+* allowing basic active/backup high-availability with a "hot spare" synapse
+  pointing at the same DB master, as well as enabling DB replication in
+  synapse itself.

-Upgrading to v1.26.0
-====================
-
-Rolling back to v1.25.0 after a failed upgrade
-----------------------------------------------
-
-v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
-may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.26.0 also
-includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required
-alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
-back to v1.25.0 you need to:
-
-1. Stop the server
-2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      UPDATE schema_version SET version = 58;
-
-3. Delete the ignored users & chain cover data:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ignored_users;
-      UPDATE rooms SET has_auth_chain_index = false;
-
-   For PostgreSQL run:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      TRUNCATE event_auth_chain_links;
-      TRUNCATE event_auth_chains;
-
-   For SQLite run:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;
-      DELETE FROM event_auth_chains;
-
-4. Mark the deltas as not run (so they will re-run on upgrade).
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/01ignored_user.py";
-      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/06chain_cover_index.sql";
-
-5. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
-   in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
-
-Upgrading to v1.25.0
-====================
-
-Last release supporting Python 3.5
-----------------------------------
-
-This is the last release of Synapse which guarantees support with Python 3.5,
-which passed its upstream End of Life date several months ago.
-
-We will attempt to maintain support through March 2021, but without guarantees.
-
-In the future, Synapse will follow upstream schedules for ending support of
-older versions of Python and PostgreSQL. Please upgrade to at least Python 3.6
-and PostgreSQL 9.6 as soon as possible.
-
-Blacklisting IP ranges
-----------------------
-
-Synapse v1.25.0 includes new settings, ``ip_range_blacklist`` and
-``ip_range_whitelist``, for controlling outgoing requests from Synapse for federation,
-identity servers, push, and for checking key validity for third-party invite events.
-The previous setting, ``federation_ip_range_blacklist``, is deprecated. The new
-``ip_range_blacklist`` defaults to private IP ranges if it is not defined.
-
-If you have never customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` it is recommended
-that you remove that setting.
-
-If you have customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` you should update the
-setting name to ``ip_range_blacklist``.
-
-If you have a custom push server that is reached via private IP space you may
-need to customise ``ip_range_blacklist`` or ``ip_range_whitelist``.
-
-Upgrading to v1.24.0
-====================
-
-Custom OpenID Connect mapping provider breaking change
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform normalisation
-of the localpart of the Matrix ID. This allows for the mapping provider to
-specify different algorithms, instead of the [default way](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets).
-
-If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
-(`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module` is specified and not equal to
-`synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider`) then you *must* ensure
-that `map_user_attributes` of the mapping provider performs some normalisation
-of the `localpart` returned. To match previous behaviour you can use the
-`map_username_to_mxid_localpart` function provided by Synapse. An example is
-shown below:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-  from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart
-
-  class MyMappingProvider:
-      def map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token):
-          # ... your custom logic ...
-          sso_user_id = ...
-          localpart = map_username_to_mxid_localpart(sso_user_id)
-
-          return {"localpart": localpart}
-
-Removal historical Synapse Admin API 
-------------------------------------
-
-Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under:
-
-* ``/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/unstable/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/r0/admin``
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The endpoints with ``/_matrix/client/*`` prefixes have been removed as of v1.24.0.
-The Admin API is now only accessible under:
-
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The only exception is the `/admin/whois` endpoint, which is
-`also available via the client-server API <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-admin-whois-userid>`_.
-
-The deprecation of the old endpoints was announced with Synapse 1.20.0 (released
-on 2020-09-22) and makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external
-access to the Admin API endpoints.
-
-Upgrading to v1.23.0
-====================
-
-Structured logging configuration breaking changes
--------------------------------------------------
-
-This release deprecates use of the ``structured: true`` logging configuration for
-structured logging. If your logging configuration contains ``structured: true``
-then it should be modified based on the `structured logging documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/structured_logging.md>`_.
-
-The ``structured`` and ``drains`` logging options are now deprecated and should
-be replaced by standard logging configuration of ``handlers`` and ``formatters``.
-
-A future will release of Synapse will make using ``structured: true`` an error.
-
-Upgrading to v1.22.0
-====================
-
-ThirdPartyEventRules breaking changes
--------------------------------------
-
-This release introduces a backwards-incompatible change to modules making use of
-``ThirdPartyEventRules`` in Synapse. If you make use of a module defined under the
-``third_party_event_rules`` config option, please make sure it is updated to handle
-the below change:
-
-The ``http_client`` argument is no longer passed to modules as they are initialised. Instead,
-modules are expected to make use of the ``http_client`` property on the ``ModuleApi`` class.
-Modules are now passed a ``module_api`` argument during initialisation, which is an instance of
-``ModuleApi``. ``ModuleApi`` instances have a ``http_client`` property which acts the same as
-the ``http_client`` argument previously passed to ``ThirdPartyEventRules`` modules.
-
-Upgrading to v1.21.0
-====================
-
-Forwarding ``/_synapse/client`` through your reverse proxy
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-The `reverse proxy documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_ has been updated
-to include reverse proxy directives for ``/_synapse/client/*`` endpoints. As the user password
-reset flow now uses endpoints under this prefix, **you must update your reverse proxy
-configurations for user password reset to work**.
-
-Additionally, note that the `Synapse worker documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/workers.md>`_ has been updated to
- state that the ``/_synapse/client/password_reset/email/submit_token`` endpoint can be handled
-by all workers. If you make use of Synapse's worker feature, please update your reverse proxy
-configuration to reflect this change.
-
-New HTML templates
-------------------
-
-A new HTML template,
-`password_reset_confirmation.html <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/synapse/res/templates/password_reset_confirmation.html>`_,
-has been added to the ``synapse/res/templates`` directory. If you are using a
-custom template directory, you may want to copy the template over and modify it.
-
-Note that as of v1.20.0, templates do not need to be included in custom template
-directories for Synapse to start. The default templates will be used if a custom
-template cannot be found.
-
-This page will appear to the user after clicking a password reset link that has
-been emailed to them.
-
-To complete password reset, the page must include a way to make a `POST`
-request to
-``/_synapse/client/password_reset/{medium}/submit_token``
-with the query parameters from the original link, presented as a URL-encoded form. See the file
-itself for more details.
-
-Updated Single Sign-on HTML Templates
--------------------------------------
-
-The ``saml_error.html`` template was removed from Synapse and replaced with the
-``sso_error.html`` template. If your Synapse is configured to use SAML and a
-custom ``sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir`` configuration then any customisations
-of the ``saml_error.html`` template will need to be merged into the ``sso_error.html``
-template. These templates are similar, but the parameters are slightly different:
-
-* The ``msg`` parameter should be renamed to ``error_description``.
-* There is no longer a ``code`` parameter for the response code.
-* A string ``error`` parameter is available that includes a short hint of why a
-  user is seeing the error page.
-
-Upgrading to v1.18.0
-====================
-
-Docker `-py3` suffix will be removed in future versions
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-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.
-
-Redis replication is now recommended in lieu of TCP 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 <docs/workers.md>`_ for more details.
-
-Upgrading to v1.14.0
-====================
-
-This version includes a database update which is run as part of the upgrade,
-and which may take a couple of minutes in the case of a large server. Synapse
-will not respond to HTTP requests while this update is taking place.
-
-Upgrading to v1.13.0
-====================
-
-Incorrect database migration in old synapse versions
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room directory to
-be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly from v1.2.1 or
-earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x.
-
-This will *not* be a problem for Synapse installations which were:
- * created at v1.4.0 or later,
- * upgraded via v1.3.x, or
- * upgraded straight from v1.2.1 or earlier to v1.13.0 or later.
-
-If completeness of the room directory is a concern, installations which are
-affected can be repaired as follows:
-
-1. Run the following sql from a `psql` or `sqlite3` console:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-     INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES
-        ('populate_stats_process_rooms', '{}', 'current_state_events_membership');
-
-     INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES
-        ('populate_stats_process_users', '{}', 'populate_stats_process_rooms');
-
-2. Restart synapse.
-
-New Single Sign-on HTML Templates
----------------------------------
-
-New templates (``sso_auth_confirm.html``, ``sso_auth_success.html``, and
-``sso_account_deactivated.html``) were added to Synapse. If your Synapse is
-configured to use SSO and a custom  ``sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir``
-configuration then these templates will need to be copied from
-`synapse/res/templates <synapse/res/templates>`_ into that directory.
-
-Synapse SSO Plugins Method Deprecation
---------------------------------------
-
-Plugins using the ``complete_sso_login`` method of
-``synapse.module_api.ModuleApi`` should update to using the async/await
-version ``complete_sso_login_async`` which includes additional checks. The
-non-async version is considered deprecated.
-
-Rolling back to v1.12.4 after a failed upgrade
-----------------------------------------------
-
-v1.13.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
-may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.13.0 also
-includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required
-alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
-back to v1.12.4 you need to:
-
-1. Stop the server
-2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      UPDATE schema_version SET version = 57;
-
-3. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
-   in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.12.0
-====================
-
-This version includes a database update which is run as part of the upgrade,
-and which may take some time (several hours in the case of a large
-server). Synapse will not respond to HTTP requests while this update is taking
-place.
-
-This is only likely to be a problem in the case of a server which is
-participating in many rooms.
-
-0. As with all upgrades, it is recommended that you have a recent backup of
-   your database which can be used for recovery in the event of any problems.
-
-1. As an initial check to see if you will be affected, you can try running the
-   following query from the `psql` or `sqlite3` console. It is safe to run it
-   while Synapse is still running.
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      SELECT MAX(q.v) FROM (
-        SELECT (
-          SELECT ej.json AS v
-          FROM state_events se INNER JOIN event_json ej USING (event_id)
-          WHERE se.room_id=rooms.room_id AND se.type='m.room.create' AND se.state_key=''
-          LIMIT 1
-        ) FROM rooms WHERE rooms.room_version IS NULL
-      ) q;
-
-   This query will take about the same amount of time as the upgrade process: ie,
-   if it takes 5 minutes, then it is likely that Synapse will be unresponsive for
-   5 minutes during the upgrade.
-
-   If you consider an outage of this duration to be acceptable, no further
-   action is necessary and you can simply start Synapse 1.12.0.
-
-   If you would prefer to reduce the downtime, continue with the steps below.
-
-2. The easiest workaround for this issue is to manually
-   create a new index before upgrading. On PostgreSQL, his can be done as follows:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index
-      ON state_events(room_id) WHERE type = 'm.room.create';
-
-   The above query may take some time, but is also safe to run while Synapse is
-   running.
-
-   We assume that no SQLite users have databases large enough to be
-   affected. If you *are* affected, you can run a similar query, omitting the
-   ``CONCURRENTLY`` keyword. Note however that this operation may in itself cause
-   Synapse to stop running for some time. Synapse admins are reminded that
-   `SQLite is not recommended for use outside a test
-   environment <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/README.rst#using-postgresql>`_.
-
-3. Once the index has been created, the ``SELECT`` query in step 1 above should
-   complete quickly. It is therefore safe to upgrade to Synapse 1.12.0.
-
-4. Once Synapse 1.12.0 has successfully started and is responding to HTTP
-   requests, the temporary index can be removed:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DROP INDEX tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index;

-The documentation for using systemd to manage synapse workers is now part of
-the main synapse distribution. See [docs/systemd-with-workers](../../docs/systemd-with-workers).
+# Setup Synapse with Workers and Systemd
+
+This is a setup for managing synapse with systemd including support for
+managing workers. It provides a `matrix-synapse`, as well as a
+`matrix-synapse-worker@` service for any workers you require. Additionally to
+group the required services it sets up a `matrix.target`. You can use this to
+automatically start any bot- or bridge-services. More on this in
+[Bots and Bridges](#bots-and-bridges).
+
+See the folder [system](system) for any service and target files.
+
+The folder [workers](workers) contains an example configuration for the
+`federation_reader` worker. Pay special attention to the name of the
+configuration file. In order to work with the `matrix-synapse-worker@.service`
+service, it needs to have the exact same name as the worker app.
+
+This setup expects neither the homeserver nor any workers to fork. Forking is
+handled by systemd.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Adjust your matrix configs. Make sure that the worker config files have the
+exact same name as the worker app. Compare `matrix-synapse-worker@.service` for
+why. You can find an example worker config in the [workers](workers) folder. See
+below for relevant settings in the `homeserver.yaml`.
+2. Copy the `*.service` and `*.target` files in [system](system) to
+`/etc/systemd/system`.
+3. `systemctl enable matrix-synapse.service` this adds the homeserver
+app to the `matrix.target`
+4. *Optional.* `systemctl enable
+matrix-synapse-worker@federation_reader.service` this adds the federation_reader
+app to the `matrix-synapse.service`
+5. *Optional.* Repeat step 4 for any additional workers you require.
+6. *Optional.* Add any bots or bridges by enabling them.
+7. Start all matrix related services via `systemctl start matrix.target`
+8. *Optional.* Enable autostart of all matrix related services on system boot
+via `systemctl enable matrix.target`
+
+## Usage
+
+After you have setup you can use the following commands to manage your synapse
+installation:
+
+```
+# Start matrix-synapse, all workers and any enabled bots or bridges.
+systemctl start matrix.target
+
+# Restart matrix-synapse and all workers (not necessarily restarting bots
+# or bridges, see "Bots and Bridges")
+systemctl restart matrix-synapse.service
+
+# Stop matrix-synapse and all workers (not necessarily restarting bots
+# or bridges, see "Bots and Bridges")
+systemctl stop matrix-synapse.service
+
+# Restart a specific worker (i. e. federation_reader), the homeserver is
+# unaffected by this.
+systemctl restart matrix-synapse-worker@federation_reader.service
+
+# Add a new worker (assuming all configs are setup already)
+systemctl enable matrix-synapse-worker@federation_writer.service
+systemctl restart matrix-synapse.service
+```
+
+## The Configs
+
+Make sure the `worker_app` is set in the `homeserver.yaml` and it does not fork.
+
+```
+worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver 
+daemonize: false
+```
+
+None of the workers should fork, as forking is handled by systemd. Hence make
+sure this is present in all worker config files.
+
+```
+worker_daemonize: false
+```
+
+The config files of all workers are expected to be located in
+`/etc/matrix-synapse/workers`. If you want to use a different location you have
+to edit the provided `*.service` files accordingly.  
+
+## Bots and Bridges
+
+Most bots and bridges do not care if the homeserver goes down or is restarted.
+Depending on the implementation this may crash them though. So look up the docs
+or ask the community of the specific bridge or bot you want to run to make sure
+you choose the correct setup.
+
+Whichever configuration you choose, after the setup the following will enable
+automatically starting (and potentially restarting) your bot/bridge with the
+`matrix.target`.
+
+```
+systemctl enable <yourBotOrBridgeName>.service
+```
+
+**Note** that from an inactive synapse the bots/bridges will only be started with
+synapse if you start the `matrix.target`, not if you start the
+`matrix-synapse.service`. This is on purpose. Think of `matrix-synapse.service`
+as *just* synapse, but `matrix.target` being anything matrix related, including
+synapse and any and all enabled bots and bridges.
+
+### Start with synapse but ignore synapse going down
+
+If the bridge can handle shutdowns of the homeserver you'll want to install the
+service in the `matrix.target` and optionally add a
+`After=matrix-synapse.service` dependency to have the bot/bridge start after
+synapse on starting everything.
+
+In this case the service file should look like this.
+
+```
+[Unit]
+# ...
+# Optional, this will only ensure that if you start everything, synapse will
+# be started before the bot/bridge will be started.
+After=matrix-synapse.service
+
+[Service]
+# ...
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=matrix.target
+```
+
+### Stop/restart when synapse stops/restarts
+
+If the bridge can't handle shutdowns of the homeserver you'll still want to
+install the service in the `matrix.target` but also have to specify the
+`After=matrix-synapse.service` *and* `BindsTo=matrix-synapse.service`
+dependencies to have the bot/bridge stop/restart with synapse.
+
+In this case the service file should look like this.
+
+```
+[Unit]
+# ...
+# Mandatory
+After=matrix-synapse.service
+BindsTo=matrix-synapse.service
+
+[Service]
+# ...

   * `SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR`:
-    Synapse's architecture is quite RAM hungry currently - we deliberately
-    cache a lot of recent room data and metadata in RAM in order to speed up
-    common requests. We'll improve this in the future, but for now the easiest
-    way to either reduce the RAM usage (at the risk of slowing things down)
-    is to set the almost-undocumented ``SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR`` environment

-    in memory constrained enviroments, or increased if performance starts to
-    degrade.
-
-    However, degraded performance due to a low cache factor, common on
-    machines with slow disks, often leads to explosions in memory use due
-    backlogged requests. In this case, reducing the cache factor will make
-    things worse. Instead, try increasing it drastically. 2.0 is a good
-    starting value.

+    on. The default setting is currently 0.1, which is probably around
+    a ~700MB footprint. You can dial it down further to 0.02 if

-# Edit Room Membership API
-
-This API allows an administrator to join an user account with a given `user_id`
-to a room with a given `room_id_or_alias`. You can only modify the membership of
-local users. The server administrator must be in the room and have permission to
-invite users.
-
-## Parameters
-
-The following parameters are available:
-
-* `user_id` - Fully qualified user: for example, `@user:server.com`.
-* `room_id_or_alias` - The room identifier or alias to join: for example,
-  `!636q39766251:server.com`.

-```
-POST /_synapse/admin/v1/join/<room_id_or_alias>
-
-{
-  "user_id": "@user:server.com"
-}
-```
-
-To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an `access_token` for a
-server admin: see [README.rst](README.rst).

-# Delete Room API
-
-The Delete Room admin API allows server admins to remove rooms from server
-and block these rooms.
-
-Shuts down a room. Moves all local users and room aliases automatically to a
-new room if `new_room_user_id` is set. Otherwise local users only
-leave the room without any information.
-
-The new room will be created with the user specified by the `new_room_user_id` parameter
-as room administrator and will contain a message explaining what happened. Users invited
-to the new room will have power level `-10` by default, and thus be unable to speak.
-
-If `block` is `True` it prevents new joins to the old room.
-
-This API will remove all trace of the old room from your database after removing
-all local users. If `purge` is `true` (the default), all traces of the old room will
-be removed from your database after removing all local users. If you do not want
-this to happen, set `purge` to `false`.
-Depending on the amount of history being purged a call to the API may take
-several minutes or longer.
-
-The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
-the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.
-
-The API is:
-
-```
-POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete
-```
-
-with a body of:
-```json
-{
-    "new_room_user_id": "@someuser:example.com",
-    "room_name": "Content Violation Notification",
-    "message": "Bad Room has been shutdown due to content violations on this server. Please review our Terms of Service.",
-    "block": true,
-    "purge": true
-}
-```
-
-To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an ``access_token`` for a
-server admin: see [README.rst](README.rst).
-
-A response body like the following is returned:
-
-```json
-{
-    "kicked_users": [
-        "@foobar:example.com"
-    ],
-    "failed_to_kick_users": [],

-        "#evilsaloon:example.com"
-    ],
-    "new_room_id": "!newroomid:example.com"
-}
-```
-
-## Parameters
-
-The following parameters should be set in the URL:
-
-* `room_id` - The ID of the room.
-
-The following JSON body parameters are available:
-
-* `new_room_user_id` - Optional. If set, a new room will be created with this user ID
-      as the creator and admin, and all users in the old room will be moved into that
-      room. If not set, no new room will be created and the users will just be removed
-      from the old room. The user ID must be on the local server, but does not necessarily
-      have to belong to a registered user.
-* `room_name` - Optional. A string representing the name of the room that new users will be
-                invited to. Defaults to `Content Violation Notification`
-* `message` - Optional. A string containing the first message that will be sent as
-              `new_room_user_id` in the new room. Ideally this will clearly convey why the
-               original room was shut down. Defaults to `Sharing illegal content on this server
-               is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked.`
-* `block` - Optional. If set to `true`, this room will be added to a blocking list, preventing
-            future attempts to join the room. Defaults to `false`.
-* `purge` - Optional. If set to `true`, it will remove all traces of the room from your database.
-            Defaults to `true`.
-* `force_purge` - Optional, and ignored unless `purge` is `true`. If set to `true`, it
-  will force a purge to go ahead even if there are local users still in the room. Do not
-  use this unless a regular `purge` operation fails, as it could leave those users'
-  clients in a confused state.
-
-The JSON body must not be empty. The body must be at least `{}`.
-
-## Response
-
-The following fields are returned in the JSON response body:
-
-* `kicked_users` - An array of users (`user_id`) that were kicked.
-* `failed_to_kick_users` - An array of users (`user_id`) that that were not kicked.
-* `local_aliases` - An array of strings representing the local aliases that were migrated from
-                    the old room to the new.
-* `new_room_id` - A string representing the room ID of the new room.

-
-## Undoing room shutdowns
-
-*Note*: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room shutdowns being performed at the database level,
-the structure can and does change without notice.
-
-First, it's important to understand that a room shutdown is very destructive. Undoing a shutdown is not as simple as pretending it
-never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
-to recover at all:
-
-* If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.
-* If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.
-* The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different server.
-
-With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
-
-1. For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.
-2. In the database, run `DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';`
-   * For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: `BEGIN; DELETE ...;`, verify you got 1 result, then `COMMIT;`.
-   * The room ID is the same one supplied to the shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.
-3. Restart Synapse.
-
-You will have to manually handle, if you so choose, the following:
-
-* Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.
-* Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).
-* Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.

-# Make Room Admin API

-Grants another user the highest power available to a local user who is in the room.

-  and not explicitly set to anything other than the return value of `next_token` from a
-  previous call. Defaults to `0`.
-* `order_by` - string - The method in which to sort the returned list of users. Valid values are:
-  - `user_id` - Users are ordered alphabetically by `user_id`. This is the default.
-  - `displayname` - Users are ordered alphabetically by `displayname`.
-  - `media_length` - Users are ordered by the total size of uploaded media in bytes.
-    Smallest to largest.
-  - `media_count` - Users are ordered by number of uploaded media. Smallest to largest.
-* `from_ts` - string representing a positive integer - Considers only
-  files created at this timestamp or later. Unix timestamp in ms.
-* `until_ts` - string representing a positive integer - Considers only
-  files created at this timestamp or earlier. Unix timestamp in ms.
-* `search_term` - string - Filter users by their user ID localpart **or** displayname.
-  The search term can be found in any part of the string.
-  Defaults to no filtering.
-* `dir` - string - Direction of order. Either `f` for forwards or `b` for backwards.
-  Setting this value to `b` will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to `f`.
-
-
-**Response**

-# Auth Chain Difference Algorithm
-
-The auth chain difference algorithm is used by V2 state resolution, where a
-naive implementation can be a significant source of CPU and DB usage.
-
-### Definitions
-
-A *state set* is a set of state events; e.g. the input of a state resolution
-algorithm is a collection of state sets.
-
-The *auth chain* of a set of events are all the events' auth events and *their*
-auth events, recursively (i.e. the events reachable by walking the graph induced
-by an event's auth events links).
-
-The *auth chain difference* of a collection of state sets is the union minus the
-intersection of the sets of auth chains corresponding to the state sets, i.e an
-event is in the auth chain difference if it is reachable by walking the auth
-event graph from at least one of the state sets but not from *all* of the state
-sets.
-
-## Breadth First Walk Algorithm
-
-A way of calculating the auth chain difference without calculating the full auth
-chains for each state set is to do a parallel breadth first walk (ordered by
-depth) of each state set's auth chain. By tracking which events are reachable
-from each state set we can finish early if every pending event is reachable from
-every state set.
-
-This can work well for state sets that have a small auth chain difference, but
-can be very inefficient for larger differences. However, this algorithm is still
-used if we don't have a chain cover index for the room (e.g. because we're in
-the process of indexing it).
-
-## Chain Cover Index
-
-Synapse computes auth chain differences by pre-computing a "chain cover" index
-for the auth chain in a room, allowing efficient reachability queries like "is
-event A in the auth chain of event B". This is done by assigning every event a
-*chain ID* and *sequence number* (e.g. `(5,3)`), and having a map of *links*
-between chains (e.g. `(5,3) -> (2,4)`) such that A is reachable by B (i.e. `A`
-is in the auth chain of `B`) if and only if either:
-
-1. A and B have the same chain ID and `A`'s sequence number is less than `B`'s
-   sequence number; or
-2. there is a link `L` between `B`'s chain ID and `A`'s chain ID such that
-   `L.start_seq_no` <= `B.seq_no` and `A.seq_no` <= `L.end_seq_no`.
-
-There are actually two potential implementations, one where we store links from
-each chain to every other reachable chain (the transitive closure of the links
-graph), and one where we remove redundant links (the transitive reduction of the
-links graph) e.g. if we have chains `C3 -> C2 -> C1` then the link `C3 -> C1`
-would not be stored. Synapse uses the former implementations so that it doesn't
-need to recurse to test reachability between chains.
-
-### Example
-
-An example auth graph would look like the following, where chains have been
-formed based on type/state_key and are denoted by colour and are labelled with
-`(chain ID, sequence number)`. Links are denoted by the arrows (links in grey
-are those that would be remove in the second implementation described above).
-
-![Example](auth_chain_diff.dot.png)
-
-Note that we don't include all links between events and their auth events, as
-most of those links would be redundant. For example, all events point to the
-create event, but each chain only needs the one link from it's base to the
-create event.
-
-## Using the Index
-
-This index can be used to calculate the auth chain difference of the state sets
-by looking at the chain ID and sequence numbers reachable from each state set:
-
-1. For every state set lookup the chain ID/sequence numbers of each state event
-2. Use the index to find all chains and the maximum sequence number reachable
-   from each state set.
-3. The auth chain difference is then all events in each chain that have sequence
-   numbers between the maximum sequence number reachable from *any* state set and
-   the minimum reachable by *all* state sets (if any).
-
-Note that steps 2 is effectively calculating the auth chain for each state set
-(in terms of chain IDs and sequence numbers), and step 3 is calculating the
-difference between the union and intersection of the auth chains.
-
-### Worked Example
-
-For example, given the above graph, we can calculate the difference between
-state sets consisting of:
-
-1. `S1`: Alice's invite `(4,1)` and Bob's second join `(2,2)`; and
-2. `S2`: Alice's second join `(4,3)` and Bob's first join `(2,1)`.
-
-Using the index we see that the following auth chains are reachable from each
-state set:
-
-1. `S1`: `(1,1)`, `(2,2)`, `(3,1)` & `(4,1)`
-2. `S2`: `(1,1)`, `(2,1)`, `(3,2)` & `(4,3)`
-
-And so, for each the ranges that are in the auth chain difference:
-1. Chain 1: None, (since everything can reach the create event).
-2. Chain 2: The range `(1, 2]` (i.e. just `2`), as `1` is reachable by all state
-   sets and the maximum reachable is `2` (corresponding to Bob's second join).
-3. Chain 3: Similarly the range `(1, 2]` (corresponding to the second power
-   level).
-4. Chain 4: The range `(1, 3]` (corresponding to both of Alice's joins).
-
-So the final result is: Bob's second join `(2,2)`, the second power level
-`(3,2)` and both of Alice's joins `(4,2)` & `(4,3)`.

-# How to test CAS as a developer without a server
-
-The [django-mama-cas](https://github.com/jbittel/django-mama-cas) project is an
-easy to run CAS implementation built on top of Django.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. Create a new virtualenv: `python3 -m venv <your virtualenv>`
-2. Activate your virtualenv: `source /path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/activate`
-3. Install Django and django-mama-cas:
-   ```
-   python -m pip install "django<3" "django-mama-cas==2.4.0"
-   ```
-4. Create a Django project in the current directory:
-   ```
-   django-admin startproject cas_test .
-   ```
-5. Follow the [install directions](https://django-mama-cas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#configuring) for django-mama-cas
-6. Setup the SQLite database: `python manage.py migrate`
-7. Create a user:
-   ```
-   python manage.py createsuperuser
-   ```
-   1. Use whatever you want as the username and password.
-   2. Leave the other fields blank.
-8. Use the built-in Django test server to serve the CAS endpoints on port 8000:
-   ```
-   python manage.py runserver
-   ```
-
-You should now have a Django project configured to serve CAS authentication with
-a single user created.
-
-## Configure Synapse (and Element) to use CAS
-
-1. Modify your `homeserver.yaml` to enable CAS and point it to your locally
-   running Django test server:
-   ```yaml
-   cas_config:
-     enabled: true
-     server_url: "http://localhost:8000"
-     service_url: "http://localhost:8081"
-     #displayname_attribute: name
-     #required_attributes:
-     #    name: value
-   ```
-2. Restart Synapse.
-
-Note that the above configuration assumes the homeserver is running on port 8081
-and that the CAS server is on port 8000, both on localhost.
-
-## Testing the configuration
-
-Then in Element:
-
-1. Visit the login page with a Element pointing at your homeserver.
-2. Click the Single Sign-On button.
-3. Login using the credentials created with `createsuperuser`.
-4. You should be logged in.
-
-If you want to repeat this process you'll need to manually logout first:
-
-1. http://localhost:8000/admin/
-2. Click "logout" in the top right.

-Some notes on how we use git
-============================
-
-On keeping the commit history clean
------------------------------------
-
-In an ideal world, our git commit history would be a linear progression of
-commits each of which contains a single change building on what came
-before. Here, by way of an arbitrary example, is the top of `git log --graph
-b2dba0607`:
-
-<img src="git/clean.png" alt="clean git graph" width="500px">
-
-Note how the commit comment explains clearly what is changing and why. Also
-note the *absence* of merge commits, as well as the absence of commits called
-things like (to pick a few culprits):
-[“pep8”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/84691da6c), [“fix broken
-test”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/474810d9d),
-[“oops”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/c9d72e457),
-[“typo”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/836358823), or [“Who's
-the president?”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/707374d5d).
-
-There are a number of reasons why keeping a clean commit history is a good
-thing:
-
- * From time to time, after a change lands, it turns out to be necessary to
-   revert it, or to backport it to a release branch. Those operations are
-   *much* easier when the change is contained in a single commit.
-
- * Similarly, it's much easier to answer questions like “is the fix for
-   `/publicRooms` on the release branch?” if that change consists of a single
-   commit.
-
- * Likewise: “what has changed on this branch in the last week?” is much
-   clearer without merges and “pep8” commits everywhere.
-
- * Sometimes we need to figure out where a bug got introduced, or some
-   behaviour changed. One way of doing that is with `git bisect`: pick an
-   arbitrary commit between the known good point and the known bad point, and
-   see how the code behaves. However, that strategy fails if the commit you
-   chose is the middle of someone's epic branch in which they broke the world
-   before putting it back together again.
-
-One counterargument is that it is sometimes useful to see how a PR evolved as
-it went through review cycles. This is true, but that information is always
-available via the GitHub UI (or via the little-known [refs/pull
-namespace](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/checking-out-pull-requests-locally)).
-
-
-Of course, in reality, things are more complicated than that. We have release
-branches as well as `develop` and `master`, and we deliberately merge changes
-between them. Bugs often slip through and have to be fixed later. That's all
-fine: this not a cast-iron rule which must be obeyed, but an ideal to aim
-towards.
-
-Merges, squashes, rebases: wtf?
--------------------------------
-
-Ok, so that's what we'd like to achieve. How do we achieve it?
-
-The TL;DR is: when you come to merge a pull request, you *probably* want to
-“squash and merge”:
-
-![squash and merge](git/squash.png).
-
-(This applies whether you are merging your own PR, or that of another
-contributor.)
-
-“Squash and merge”<sup id="a1">[1](#f1)</sup> takes all of the changes in the
-PR, and bundles them into a single commit. GitHub gives you the opportunity to
-edit the commit message before you confirm, and normally you should do so,
-because the default will be useless (again: `* woops typo` is not a useful
-thing to keep in the historical record).
-
-The main problem with this approach comes when you have a series of pull
-requests which build on top of one another: as soon as you squash-merge the
-first PR, you'll end up with a stack of conflicts to resolve in all of the
-others. In general, it's best to avoid this situation in the first place by
-trying not to have multiple related PRs in flight at the same time. Still,
-sometimes that's not possible and doing a regular merge is the lesser evil.
-
-Another occasion in which a regular merge makes more sense is a PR where you've
-deliberately created a series of commits each of which makes sense in its own
-right. For example: [a PR which gradually propagates a refactoring operation
-through the codebase](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6837), or [a
-PR which is the culmination of several other
-PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5987). In this case the ability
-to figure out when a particular change/bug was introduced could be very useful.
-
-Ultimately: **this is not a hard-and-fast-rule**. If in doubt, ask yourself “do
-each of the commits I am about to merge make sense in their own right”, but
-remember that we're just doing our best to balance “keeping the commit history
-clean” with other factors.
-
-Git branching model
--------------------
-
-A [lot](https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/)
-[of](http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html)
-[words](https://www.endoflineblog.com/gitflow-considered-harmful) have been
-written in the past about git branching models (no really, [a
-lot](https://martinfowler.com/articles/branching-patterns.html)). I tend to
-think the whole thing is overblown. Fundamentally, it's not that
-complicated. Here's how we do it.
-
-Let's start with a picture:
-
-![branching model](git/branches.jpg)
-
-It looks complicated, but it's really not. There's one basic rule: *anyone* is
-free to merge from *any* more-stable branch to *any* less-stable branch at
-*any* time<sup id="a2">[2](#f2)</sup>. (The principle behind this is that if a
-change is good enough for the more-stable branch, then it's also good enough go
-put in a less-stable branch.)
-
-Meanwhile, merging (or squashing, as per the above) from a less-stable to a
-more-stable branch is a deliberate action in which you want to publish a change
-or a set of changes to (some subset of) the world: for example, this happens
-when a PR is landed, or as part of our release process.
-
-So, what counts as a more- or less-stable branch? A little reflection will show
-that our active branches are ordered thus, from more-stable to less-stable:
-
- * `master` (tracks our last release).
- * `release-vX.Y.Z` (the branch where we prepare the next release)<sup
-   id="a3">[3](#f3)</sup>.
- * PR branches which are targeting the release.
- * `develop` (our "mainline" branch containing our bleeding-edge).
- * regular PR branches.
-
-The corollary is: if you have a bugfix that needs to land in both
-`release-vX.Y.Z` *and* `develop`, then you should base your PR on
-`release-vX.Y.Z`, get it merged there, and then merge from `release-vX.Y.Z` to
-`develop`. (If a fix lands in `develop` and we later need it in a
-release-branch, we can of course cherry-pick it, but landing it in the release
-branch first helps reduce the chance of annoying conflicts.)

-## Preparing Synapse
-
-The JSON Web Token integration in Synapse uses the
-[`PyJWT`](https://pypi.org/project/pyjwt/) library, which must be installed
-as follows:
-
- * The relevant libraries are included in the Docker images and Debian packages
-   provided by `matrix.org` so no further action is needed.
-
- * If you installed Synapse into a virtualenv, run `/path/to/env/bin/pip
-   install synapse[pyjwt]` to install the necessary dependencies.
-
- * For other installation mechanisms, see the documentation provided by the
-   maintainer.
-
-To enable the JSON web token integration, you should then add an `jwt_config` section
-to your configuration file (or uncomment the `enabled: true` line in the
-existing section). See [sample_config.yaml](./sample_config.yaml) for some
-sample settings.
-
-## How to test JWT as a developer
-
-Although JSON Web Tokens are typically generated from an external server, the
-examples below use [PyJWT](https://pyjwt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) directly.
-
-1.  Configure Synapse with JWT logins, note that this example uses a pre-shared
-    secret and an algorithm of HS256:
-
-    ```yaml
-    jwt_config:
-        enabled: true
-        secret: "my-secret-token"
-        algorithm: "HS256"
-    ```
-2.  Generate a JSON web token:
-
-    ```bash
-    $ pyjwt --key=my-secret-token --alg=HS256 encode sub=test-user
-    eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ0ZXN0LXVzZXIifQ.Ag71GT8v01UO3w80aqRPTeuVPBIBZkYhNTJJ-_-zQIc
-    ```
-3.  Query for the login types and ensure `org.matrix.login.jwt` is there:
-
-    ```bash
-    curl http://localhost:8080/_matrix/client/r0/login
-    ```
-4.  Login used the generated JSON web token from above:
-
-    ```bash
-    $ curl http://localhost:8082/_matrix/client/r0/login -X POST \
-        --data '{"type":"org.matrix.login.jwt","token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ0ZXN0LXVzZXIifQ.Ag71GT8v01UO3w80aqRPTeuVPBIBZkYhNTJJ-_-zQIc"}'
-    {
-        "access_token": "<access token>",
-        "device_id": "ACBDEFGHI",
-        "home_server": "localhost:8080",
-        "user_id": "@test-user:localhost:8480"
-    }
-    ```
-
-You should now be able to use the returned access token to query the client API.

-# Configuring Synapse to authenticate against an OpenID Connect provider
-
-Synapse can be configured to use an OpenID Connect Provider (OP) for
-authentication, instead of its own local password database.
-
-Any OP should work with Synapse, as long as it supports the authorization code
-flow. There are a few options for that:
-
- - start a local OP. Synapse has been tested with [Hydra][hydra] and
-   [Dex][dex-idp].  Note that for an OP to work, it should be served under a
-   secure (HTTPS) origin.  A certificate signed with a self-signed, locally
-   trusted CA should work. In that case, start Synapse with a `SSL_CERT_FILE`
-   environment variable set to the path of the CA.
-
- - set up a SaaS OP, like [Google][google-idp], [Auth0][auth0] or
-   [Okta][okta]. Synapse has been tested with Auth0 and Google.
-
-It may also be possible to use other OAuth2 providers which provide the
-[authorization code grant type](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1),
-such as [Github][github-idp].

-setting in your configuration file (or uncomment one of the existing examples).
-See [sample_config.yaml](./sample_config.yaml) for some sample settings, as well as 
-the text below for example configurations for specific providers.
-
-## Sample configs
-
-Here are a few configs for providers that should work with Synapse.
-
-### Microsoft Azure Active Directory
-Azure AD can act as an OpenID Connect Provider. Register a new application under 
-*App registrations* in the Azure AD management console. The RedirectURI for your
-application should point to your matrix server: `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
-
-Go to *Certificates & secrets* and register a new client secret. Make note of your 
-Directory (tenant) ID as it will be used in the Azure links.
-Edit your Synapse config file and change the `oidc_config` section:
-
-```yaml

-    idp_name: Microsoft
-    issuer: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant id>/v2.0"
