 ## 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**.

+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`):

+```
+doas pkg_add python libffi py-pip py-setuptools sqlite3 py-virtualenv \

 ```
 
-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 python3 ~/.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

-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]
+# ...

+    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
