+
+# 1. Who can contribute to Synapse?
+
+Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
+projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to
+license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
+follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
+submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
+license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
+license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
+[LICENSE](LICENSE)).
+
+# 2. What do I need?
+
+The code of Synapse is written in Python 3. To do pretty much anything, you'll need [a recent version of Python 3](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download).
+
+The source code of Synapse is hosted on GitHub. You will also need [a recent version of git](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git).
+
+For some tests, you will need [a recent version of Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
+
+
+# 3. Get the source.
+
+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.
+
+Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
+
+```sh
+git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME/synapse.git
+git checkout develop
+```
+
+If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you
+can find many good git tutorials on the web.
+
+# 4. Install the dependencies
+
+## Under Unix (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
+
+Once you have installed Python 3 and added the source, please open a terminal and
+setup a *virtualenv*, as follows:
+
+```sh
+cd path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository
+python3 -m venv ./env
+source ./env/bin/activate
+pip install -e ".[all,lint,mypy,test]"
+pip install tox
+```
+
+This will install the developer dependencies for the project.
+
+## Under Windows
+
+TBD
+
+
+# 5. Get in touch.
+
+Join our developer community on Matrix: #synapse-dev:matrix.org !
+
+
+# 6. Pick an issue.
+
+Fix your favorite problem or perhaps find a [Good First Issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+First+Issue%22)
+to work on.
+
+
+# 7. Turn coffee and documentation into code and documentation!
+
+Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
+it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
+file](docs/code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
+
+There is a growing amount of documentation located in the [docs](docs)
+directory. This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
+own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
+Synapse. [docs/dev](docs/dev) exists primarily to house documentation for
+Synapse developers. [docs/admin_api](docs/admin_api) houses documentation
+regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
+service developers.
+
+If you add new files added to either of these folders, please use [GitHub-Flavoured
+Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).
+
+Some documentation also exists in [Synapse's GitHub
+Wiki](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki), although this is primarily
+contributed to by community authors.
+
+
+# 8. Test, test, test!
+<a name="test-test-test"></a>
+
+While you're developing and before submitting a patch, you'll
+want to test your code.
+
+## Run the linters.
+
+The linters look at your code and do two things:
+
+- ensure that your code follows the coding style adopted by the project;
+- catch a number of errors in your code.
+
+They're pretty fast, don't hesitate!
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh
+```
+
+Note that this script *will modify your files* to fix styling errors.
+Make sure that you have saved all your files.
+
+If you wish to restrict the linters to only the files changed since the last commit
+(much faster!), you can instead run:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh -d
+```
+
+Or if you know exactly which files you wish to lint, you can instead run:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
+```
+
+## Run the unit tests (Twisted trial).
+
+The unit tests run parts of Synapse, including your changes, to see if anything
+was broken. They are slower than the linters but will typically catch more errors.
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+trial tests
+```
+
+If you wish to only run *some* unit tests, you may specify
+another module instead of `tests` - or a test class or a method:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+trial tests.rest.admin.test_room tests.handlers.test_admin.ExfiltrateData.test_invite
+```
+
+If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs (the default log level is `ERROR`):
+
+```sh
+less _trial_temp/test.log
+```
+
+To increase the log level for the tests, set `SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL`:
+
+```sh
+SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG trial tests
+```
+
+
+## Run the integration tests ([Sytest](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest)).
+
+The integration tests are a more comprehensive suite of tests. They
+run a full version of Synapse, including your changes, to check if
+anything was broken. They are slower than the unit tests but will
+typically catch more errors.
+
+The following command will let you run the integration test with the most common
+configuration:
+
+```sh
+$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository\:/src:ro -v /path/to/where/you/want/logs\:/logs matrixdotorg/sytest-synapse:buster
+```
+
+This configuration should generally cover  your needs. For more details about other configurations, see [documentation in the SyTest repo](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md).
+
+
+## Run the integration tests ([Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement)).
+
+[Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) is a suite of black box tests that can be run on any homeserver implementation. It can also be thought of as end-to-end (e2e) tests.
+
+It's often nice to develop on Synapse and write Complement tests at the same time.
+Here is how to run your local Synapse checkout against your local Complement checkout.
+
+(checkout [`complement`](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) alongside your `synapse` checkout)
+```sh
+COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh
+```
+
+To run a specific test file, you can pass the test name at the end of the command. The name passed comes from the naming structure in your Complement tests. If you're unsure of the name, you can do a full run and copy it from the test output:
+
+```sh
+COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh TestBackfillingHistory
+```
+
+To run a specific test, you can specify the whole name structure:
+
+```sh
+COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh TestBackfillingHistory/parallel/Backfilled_historical_events_resolve_with_proper_state_in_correct_order
+```
+
+
+### Access database for homeserver after Complement test runs.
+
+If you're curious what the database looks like after you run some tests, here are some steps to get you going in Synapse:
+
+ 1. In your Complement test comment out `defer deployment.Destroy(t)` and replace with `defer time.Sleep(2 * time.Hour)` to keep the homeserver running after the tests complete
+ 1. Start the Complement tests
+ 1. Find the name of the container, `docker ps -f name=complement_` (this will filter for just the Compelement related Docker containers)
+ 1. Access the container replacing the name with what you found in the previous step: `docker exec -it complement_1_hs_with_application_service.hs1_2 /bin/bash`
+ 1. Install sqlite (database driver), `apt-get update && apt-get install -y sqlite3`
+ 1. Then run `sqlite3` and open the database `.open /conf/homeserver.db` (this db path comes from the Synapse homeserver.yaml)
+
+
+# 9. Submit your patch.
+
+Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.
+
+To prepare a Pull Request, please:
+
+1. verify that [all the tests pass](#test-test-test), including the coding style;
+2. [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution;
+3. `git push` your commit to your fork of Synapse;
+4. on GitHub, [create the Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request);
+5. add a [changelog entry](#changelog) and push it to your Pull Request;
+6. for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization `matrix-org`, on GitHub, please request a review from `matrix.org / Synapse Core`.
+7. if you need to update your PR, please avoid rebasing and just add new commits to your branch.
+
+
+## Changelog
+
+All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
+entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
+
+To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
+in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
+
+* `feature`
+* `bugfix`
+* `docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
+* `doc` (for updates to the documentation)
+* `removal` (also used for deprecations)
+* `misc` (for internal-only changes)
+
+This file will become part of our [changelog](
+https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) at the next
+release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
+change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
+formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
+consistency.
+
+Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
+contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
+
+For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
+`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
+
+> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
+> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
+
+If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
+then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
+merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
+release.
+
+### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
+
+Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
+`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
+chicken-and-egg problem.
+
+There are two options for solving this:
+
+ 1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
+    add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
+    request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
+
+ 1. Look at the [list of all
+    issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
+    highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
+    your number.
+
+    [This
+    script](https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh)
+    might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.
+
+Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's *really* helpful for us when we come
+to put together a release!
+
+### Debian changelog
+
+Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in `debian`) are an
+exception to the rule that all changes require a `changelog.d` file.
+
+In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
+next release. For this, run the following command:
+
+```
+dch
+```
+
+This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
+version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
+(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
+corrected for the release.)
+
+If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
+directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
+debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
+separate pull requests.)
+
+## Sign off
+
+In order to have a concrete record that your contribution is intentional
+and you agree to license it under the same terms as the project's license, we've adopted the
+same lightweight approach that the Linux Kernel
+[submitting patches process](
+https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin>),
+[Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and many other
+projects use: the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin:
+http://developercertificate.org/). This is a simple declaration that you wrote
+the contribution or otherwise have the right to contribute it to Matrix:
+
+```
+Developer Certificate of Origin
+Version 1.1
+
+Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
+660 York Street, Suite 102,
+San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
+license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
+
+By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
+
+(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
+    have the right to submit it under the open source license
+    indicated in the file; or
+
+(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
+    of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
+    license and I have the right under that license to submit that
+    work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
+    by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
+    permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
+    in the file; or
+
+(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
+    person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
+    it.
+
+(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
+    are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
+    personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
+    maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
+    this project or the open source license(s) involved.
+```
+
+If you agree to this for your contribution, then all that's needed is to
+include the line in your commit or pull request comment:
+
+```
+Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.example.org>
+```
+
+We accept contributions under a legally identifiable name, such as
+your name on government documentation or common-law names (names
+claimed by legitimate usage or repute). Unfortunately, we cannot
+accept anonymous contributions at this time.
+
+Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the `-s`
+flag to `git commit`, which uses the name and email set in your
+`user.name` and `user.email` git configs.
+
+
+# 10. Turn feedback into better code.
+
+Once the Pull Request is opened, you will see a few things:
+
+1. our automated CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline will run (again) the linters, the unit tests, the integration tests and more;
+2. one or more of the developers will take a look at your Pull Request and offer feedback.
+
+From this point, you should:
+
+1. Look at the results of the CI pipeline.
+   - If there is any error, fix the error.
+2. If a developer has requested changes, make these changes and let us know if it is ready for a developer to review again.
+3. Create a new commit with the changes.
+   - Please do NOT overwrite the history. New commits make the reviewer's life easier.
+   - Push this commits to your Pull Request.
+4. Back to 1.
+
+Once both the CI and the developers are happy, the patch will be merged into Synapse and released shortly!
+
+# 11. Find a new issue.
+
+By now, you know the drill!
+
+# Notes for maintainers on merging PRs etc
+
+There are some notes for those with commit access to the project on how we
+manage git [here](docs/development/git.md).
+
+# Conclusion
+
+That's it! Matrix is a very open and collaborative project as you might expect
+given our obsession with open communication. If we're going to successfully
+matrix together all the fragmented communication technologies out there we are
+reliant on contributions and collaboration from the community to do so. So
+please get involved - and we hope you have as much fun hacking on Matrix as we
+do!

-Contributing code to Matrix
-===========================
-
-Everyone is welcome to contribute code to Matrix
-(https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to license
-their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We follow a
-simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of submitting an
-'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to license the code
-under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound' license - in our
-case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see LICENSE).
-
-How to contribute
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes to Matrix is to fork the
-relevant project on github, and then create a pull request to ask us to pull
-your changes into our repo
-(https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/)
-
-**The single biggest thing you need to know is: please base your changes on
-the develop branch - /not/ master.**
-
-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.
-
-We use `Buildkite <https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/synapse>`_ for
-continuous integration.  Buildkite builds need to be authorised by a
-maintainer. If your change breaks the build, this will be shown in GitHub, so
-please keep an eye on the pull request for feedback.
-
-To run unit tests in a local development environment, you can use:
-
-- ``tox -e py35`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``)
-  for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.5.
-- ``tox -e py36`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.6.
-- ``tox -e py36-postgres`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.6
-  (requires a running local PostgreSQL with access to create databases).
-- ``./test_postgresql.sh`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.5
-  (requires Docker). Entirely self-contained, recommended if you don't want to
-  set up PostgreSQL yourself.
-
-Docker images are available for running the integration tests (SyTest) locally,
-see the `documentation in the SyTest repo
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md>`_ for more
-information.
-
-Code style
-~~~~~~~~~~
-
-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
-at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/code_style.md.
-
-Please ensure your changes match the cosmetic style of the existing project,
-and **never** mix cosmetic and functional changes in the same commit, as it
-makes it horribly hard to review otherwise.
-
-Changelog
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
-entry. These are managed by Towncrier
-(https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
-
-To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the ``changelog.d`` file named
-in the format of ``PRnumber.type``. The type can be one of the following:
-
-* ``feature``.
-* ``bugfix``.
-* ``docker`` (for updates to the Docker image).
-* ``doc`` (for updates to the documentation).
-* ``removal`` (also used for deprecations).
-* ``misc`` (for internal-only changes).
-
-The content of the file is your changelog entry, which should be a short
-description of your change in the same style as the rest of our `changelog
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md>`_. The file can
-contain Markdown formatting, and should end with a full stop ('.') for
-consistency.
-
-Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
-contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
-
-For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
-``changelog.d/1234.bugfix``, and contain content like "The security levels of
-Florbs are now validated when recieved over federation. Contributed by Jane
-Matrix.".
-
-Debian changelog
-----------------
-
-Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in ``debian``) are an
-exception.
-
-In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
-next release. For this, run the following command::
-
-  dch
-
-This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
-version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
-(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
-corrected for the release.)
-
-If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
-directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
-debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
-separate pull requests.)

+# Installation Instructions
 
-# Choosing your server name
+This document has moved to the
+[Synapse documentation website](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html).
+Please update your links.
 
-It is important to choose the name for your server before you install Synapse,
-because it cannot be changed later.
-
-The server name determines the "domain" part of user-ids for users on your
-server: these will all be of the format `@user:my.domain.name`. It also
-determines how other matrix servers will reach yours for federation.
-
-For a test configuration, set this to the hostname of your server. For a more
-production-ready setup, you will probably want to specify your domain
-(`example.com`) rather than a matrix-specific hostname here (in the same way
-that your email address is probably `user@example.com` rather than
-`user@email.example.com`) - but doing so may require more advanced setup: see
-[Setting up Federation](docs/federate.md).
-
-# Installing Synapse
-
-## Installing from source
-
-(Prebuilt packages are available for some platforms - see [Prebuilt packages](#prebuilt-packages).)
-
-System requirements:
-
-- POSIX-compliant system (tested on Linux & OS X)
-- Python 3.5, 3.6, or 3.7
-- At least 1GB of free RAM if you want to join large public rooms like #matrix:matrix.org
-
-Synapse is written in Python but some of the libraries it uses are written in
-C. So before we can install Synapse itself we need a working C compiler and the
-header files for Python C extensions. See [Platform-Specific
-Instructions](#platform-specific-instructions) for information on installing
-these on various platforms.
-
-To install the Synapse homeserver run:
-
-```
-mkdir -p ~/synapse
-virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env
-source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
-pip install --upgrade pip
-pip install --upgrade setuptools
-pip install matrix-synapse
-```
-
-This will download Synapse from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/matrix-synapse)
-and install it, along with the python libraries it uses, into a virtual environment
-under `~/synapse/env`.  Feel free to pick a different directory if you
-prefer.
-
-This Synapse installation can then be later upgraded by using pip again with the
-update flag:
-
-```
-source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
-pip install -U matrix-synapse
-```
-
-Before you can start Synapse, you will need to generate a configuration
-file. To do this, run (in your virtualenv, as before)::
-
-```
-cd ~/synapse
-python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
-    --server-name my.domain.name \
-    --config-path homeserver.yaml \
-    --generate-config \
-    --report-stats=[yes|no]
-```
-
-... substituting an appropriate value for `--server-name`.
-
-This command will generate you a config file that you can then customise, but it will
-also generate a set of keys for you. These keys will allow your Home Server to
-identify itself to other Home Servers, so don't lose or delete them. It would be
-wise to back them up somewhere safe. (If, for whatever reason, you do need to
-change your Home Server's keys, you may find that other Home Servers have the
-old key cached. If you update the signing key, you should change the name of the
-key in the `<server name>.signing.key` file (the second word) to something
-different. See the
-[spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/latest.html#retrieving-server-keys)
-for more information on key management.)
-
-To actually run your new homeserver, pick a working directory for Synapse to
-run (e.g. `~/synapse`), and::
-
-    cd ~/synapse
-    source env/bin/activate
-    synctl start
-
-### Platform-Specific Instructions
-
-#### Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian
-
-Installing prerequisites on Ubuntu or Debian:
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev libffi-dev \
-                     python-pip python-setuptools sqlite3 \
-                     libssl-dev python-virtualenv libjpeg-dev libxslt1-dev
-```
-
-#### ArchLinux
-
-Installing prerequisites on ArchLinux:
-
-```
-sudo pacman -S base-devel python python-pip \
-               python-setuptools python-virtualenv sqlite3
-```
-
-#### CentOS/Fedora
-
-Installing prerequisites on CentOS 7 or Fedora 25:
-
-```
-sudo yum install libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libzip-devel freetype-devel \
-                 lcms2-devel libwebp-devel tcl-devel tk-devel redhat-rpm-config \
-                 python-virtualenv libffi-devel openssl-devel
-sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
-```
-
-#### Mac OS X
-
-Installing prerequisites on Mac OS X:
-
-```
-xcode-select --install
-sudo easy_install pip
-sudo pip install virtualenv
-brew install pkg-config libffi
-```
-
-#### OpenSUSE
-
-Installing prerequisites on openSUSE:
-
-```
-sudo zypper in -t pattern devel_basis
-sudo zypper in python-pip python-setuptools sqlite3 python-virtualenv \
-               python-devel libffi-devel libopenssl-devel libjpeg62-devel
-```
-
-#### OpenBSD
-
-Installing prerequisites on OpenBSD:
-
-```
-doas pkg_add python libffi py-pip py-setuptools sqlite3 py-virtualenv \
-              libxslt jpeg
-```
-
-There is currently no port for OpenBSD. Additionally, OpenBSD's security
-settings require a slightly more difficult installation process.
-
-XXX: I suspect this is out of date.
-
-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.
-
-After this, you may proceed with the rest of the install directions.
-
-#### Windows
-
-If you wish to run or develop Synapse on Windows, the Windows Subsystem For
-Linux provides a Linux environment on Windows 10 which is capable of using the
-Debian, Fedora, or source installation methods. More information about WSL can
-be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 for
-Windows 10 and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server
-for Windows Server.
-
-### 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
-
-## Prebuilt packages
-
-As an alternative to installing from source, prebuilt packages are available
-for a number of platforms.
-
-### Docker images and Ansible playbooks
-
-There is an offical synapse image available at
-https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse which can be used with
-the docker-compose file available at [contrib/docker](contrib/docker). Further information on
-this including configuration options is available in the README on
-hub.docker.com.
-
-Alternatively, Andreas Peters (previously Silvio Fricke) has contributed a
-Dockerfile to automate a synapse server in a single Docker image, at
-https://hub.docker.com/r/avhost/docker-matrix/tags/
-
-Slavi Pantaleev has created an Ansible playbook,
-which installs the offical Docker image of Matrix Synapse
-along with many other Matrix-related services (Postgres database, riot-web, coturn, mxisd, SSL support, etc.).
-For more details, see
-https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
-
-
-### Debian/Ubuntu
-
-#### Matrix.org packages
-
-Matrix.org provides Debian/Ubuntu packages of the latest stable version of
-Synapse via https://packages.matrix.org/debian/. They are available for Debian
-9 (Stretch), Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial), and later. To use them:
-
-```
-sudo apt install -y lsb-release wget apt-transport-https
-sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.matrix.org/debian/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg
-echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.matrix.org/debian/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" |
-    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install matrix-synapse-py3
-```
-
-**Note**: if you followed a previous version of these instructions which
-recommended using `apt-key add` to add an old key from
-`https://matrix.org/packages/debian/`, you should note that this key has been
-revoked. You should remove the old key with `sudo apt-key remove
-C35EB17E1EAE708E6603A9B3AD0592FE47F0DF61`, and follow the above instructions to
-update your configuration.
-
-The fingerprint of the repository signing key (as shown by `gpg
-/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg`) is
-`AAF9AE843A7584B5A3E4CD2BCF45A512DE2DA058`.
-
-#### Downstream Debian/Ubuntu packages
-
-For `buster` and `sid`, Synapse is available in the Debian repositories and
-it should be possible to install it with simply:
-
-```
-    sudo apt install matrix-synapse
-```
-
-There is also a version of `matrix-synapse` in `stretch-backports`. Please see
-the [Debian documentation on
-backports](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/) for information on how
-to use them.
-
-We do not recommend using the packages in downstream Ubuntu at this time, as
-they are old and suffer from known security vulnerabilities.
-
-### Fedora
-
-Synapse is in the Fedora repositories as `matrix-synapse`:
-
-```
-sudo dnf install matrix-synapse
-```
-
-Oleg Girko provides Fedora RPMs at
-https://obs.infoserver.lv/project/monitor/matrix-synapse
-
-### OpenSUSE
-
-Synapse is in the OpenSUSE repositories as `matrix-synapse`:
-
-```
-sudo zypper install matrix-synapse
-```
-
-### SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
-
-Unofficial package are built for SLES 15 in the openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15 repository at
-https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Backports:/SLE-15/standard/
-
-### ArchLinux
-
-The quickest way to get up and running with ArchLinux is probably with the community package
-https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/matrix-synapse/, which should pull in most of
-the necessary dependencies.
-
-pip may be outdated (6.0.7-1 and needs to be upgraded to 6.0.8-1 ):
-
-```
-sudo pip install --upgrade pip
-```
-
-If you encounter an error with lib bcrypt causing an Wrong ELF Class:
-ELFCLASS32 (x64 Systems), you may need to reinstall py-bcrypt to correctly
-compile it under the right architecture. (This should not be needed if
-installing under virtualenv):
-
-```
-sudo pip uninstall py-bcrypt
-sudo pip install py-bcrypt
-```
-
-### FreeBSD
-
-Synapse can be installed via FreeBSD Ports or Packages contributed by Brendan Molloy from:
-
- - Ports: `cd /usr/ports/net-im/py-matrix-synapse && make install clean`
- - Packages: `pkg install py27-matrix-synapse`
-
-
-### NixOS
-
-Robin Lambertz has packaged Synapse for NixOS at:
-https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/misc/matrix-synapse.nix
-
-# Setting up Synapse
-
-Once you have installed synapse as above, you will need to configure it.
-
-## TLS certificates
-
-The default configuration exposes a single HTTP port: http://localhost:8008. It
-is suitable for local testing, but for any practical use, you will either need
-to enable a reverse proxy, or configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port.
-
-For information on using a reverse proxy, see
-[docs/reverse_proxy.md](docs/reverse_proxy.md).
-
-To configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port, you will need to edit
-`homeserver.yaml`, as follows:
-
-* First, under the `listeners` section, uncomment the configuration for the
-  TLS-enabled listener. (Remove the hash sign (`#`) at the start of
-  each line). The relevant lines are like this:
-
-  ```
-    - port: 8448
-      type: http
-      tls: true
-      resources:
-        - names: [client, federation]
-  ```
-* You will also need to uncomment the `tls_certificate_path` and
-  `tls_private_key_path` lines under the `TLS` section. You can either
-  point these settings at an existing certificate and key, or you can
-  enable Synapse's built-in ACME (Let's Encrypt) support. Instructions
-  for having Synapse automatically provision and renew federation
-  certificates through ACME can be found at [ACME.md](docs/ACME.md). If you
-  are using your own certificate, be sure to use a `.pem` file that includes
-  the full certificate chain including any intermediate certificates (for
-  instance, if using certbot, use `fullchain.pem` as your certificate, not
-  `cert.pem`).
-
-For a more detailed guide to configuring your server for federation, see
-[federate.md](docs/federate.md)
-
-
-## Email
-
-It is desirable for Synapse to have the capability to send email. For example,
-this is required to support the 'password reset' feature.
-
-To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
-headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host``, ``smtp_port``
-and ``notif_from`` fields filled out. You may also need to set ``smtp_user``,
-``smtp_pass``, and ``require_transport_security``.
-
-If Synapse is not configured with an SMTP server, password reset via email will
- be disabled by default.
-
-## Registering a user
-
-The easiest way to create a new user is to do so from a client like [Riot](https://riot.im).
-
-Alternatively you can do so from the command line if you have installed via pip.
-
-This can be done as follows:
-
-```
-$ source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
-$ synctl start # if not already running
-$ register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008
-New user localpart: erikj
-Password:
-Confirm password:
-Make admin [no]:
-Success!
-```
-
-This process uses a setting `registration_shared_secret` in
-`homeserver.yaml`, which is shared between Synapse itself and the
-`register_new_matrix_user` script. It doesn't matter what it is (a random
-value is generated by `--generate-config`), but it should be kept secret, as
-anyone with knowledge of it can register users, including admin accounts,
-on your server even if `enable_registration` is `false`.
-
-## Setting up a TURN server
-
-For reliable VoIP calls to be routed via this homeserver, you MUST configure
-a TURN server.  See [docs/turn-howto.md](docs/turn-howto.md) for details.
-
-## URL previews
-
-Synapse includes support for previewing URLs, which is disabled by default.  To
-turn it on you must enable the `url_preview_enabled: True` config parameter
-and explicitly specify the IP ranges that Synapse is not allowed to spider for
-previewing in the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist` configuration parameter.
-This is critical from a security perspective to stop arbitrary Matrix users
-spidering 'internal' URLs on your network.  At the very least we recommend that
-your loopback and RFC1918 IP addresses are blacklisted.
-
-This also requires the optional lxml and netaddr python dependencies to be
-installed.  This in turn requires the libxml2 library to be available - on
-Debian/Ubuntu this means `apt-get install libxml2-dev`, or equivalent for
-your OS.
+The markdown source is available in [docs/setup/installation.md](docs/setup/installation.md).

-Whilst we have tried to mitigate against possible XSS attacks (e.g.

-matrix homeservers on a dedicated domain name, to limit any malicious user generated

-https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-04-25-user-content-security for more details.
+Whilst we make a reasonable effort to mitigate against XSS attacks (for
+instance, by using `CSP`_), a Matrix homeserver should not be hosted on a
+domain hosting other web applications. This especially applies to sharing
+the domain with Matrix web clients and other sensitive applications like
+webmail. See
+https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-04-25-user-content-security for more
+information.
+
+.. _CSP: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1021
+
+Ideally, the homeserver should not simply be on a different subdomain, but on
+a completely different `registered domain`_ (also known as top-level site or
+eTLD+1). This is because `some attacks`_ are still possible as long as the two
+applications share the same registered domain.
+
+.. _registered domain: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis-03#section-2.3
+
+.. _some attacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_fixation#Attacks_using_cross-subdomain_cookie
+
+To illustrate this with an example, if your Element Web or other sensitive web
+application is hosted on ``A.example1.com``, you should ideally host Synapse on
+``example2.com``. Some amount of protection is offered by hosting on
+``B.example1.com`` instead, so this is also acceptable in some scenarios.
+However, you should *not* host your Synapse on ``A.example1.com``.
+
+Note that all of the above refers exclusively to the domain used in Synapse's
+``public_baseurl`` setting. In particular, it has no bearing on the domain
+mentioned in MXIDs hosted on that server.
+
+Following this advice ensures that even if an XSS is found in Synapse, the
+impact to other applications will be minimal.

-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 Synapse
 =================
 
-Before upgrading check if any special steps are required to upgrade from the
-what you currently have installed to current version of Synapse. The extra
-instructions that may be required are listed later in this document.
+This document has moved to the `Synapse documentation website <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrading>`_.
+Please update your links.
 
-* If Synapse was installed using `prebuilt packages
-  <INSTALL.md#prebuilt-packages>`_, you will need to follow the normal process
-  for upgrading those packages.
-
-* If Synapse was installed from source, then:
-
-  1. Activate the virtualenv before upgrading. For example, if Synapse is
-     installed in a virtualenv in ``~/synapse/env`` then run:
-
-     .. code:: bash
-
-       source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
-
-  2. If Synapse was installed using pip then upgrade to the latest version by
-     running:
-
-     .. code:: bash
-
-       pip install --upgrade matrix-synapse
-
-     If Synapse was installed using git then upgrade to the latest version by
-     running:
-
-     .. code:: bash
-     
-       git pull
-       pip install --upgrade .
-
-  3. Restart Synapse:
-
-     .. code:: bash
-
-       ./synctl restart
-
-To check whether your update was successful, you can check the running server
-version with:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    # you may need to replace 'localhost:8008' if synapse is not configured
-    # to listen on port 8008.
-
-    curl http://localhost:8008/_synapse/admin/v1/server_version
-
-Rolling back to older versions
-------------------------------
-
-Rolling back to previous releases can be difficult, due to database schema
-changes between releases. Where we have been able to test the rollback process,
-this will be noted below.
-
-In general, you will need to undo any changes made during the upgrade process,
-for example:
-
-* pip:
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-     source env/bin/activate
-     # replace `1.3.0` accordingly:
-     pip install matrix-synapse==1.3.0
-
-* Debian:
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-     # replace `1.3.0` and `stretch` accordingly:
-     wget https://packages.matrix.org/debian/pool/main/m/matrix-synapse-py3/matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb
-     dpkg -i matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb
-
-Upgrading to v1.4.0
-===================
-
-New custom templates
---------------------
-
-If you have configured a custom template directory with the
-``email.template_dir`` option, be aware that there are new templates regarding
-registration and threepid management (see below) that must be included.
-
-* ``registration.html`` and ``registration.txt``
-* ``registration_success.html`` and ``registration_failure.html``
-* ``add_threepid.html`` and  ``add_threepid.txt``
-* ``add_threepid_failure.html`` and ``add_threepid_success.html``
-
-Synapse will expect these files to exist inside the configured template
-directory, and **will fail to start** if they are absent.
-To view the default templates, see `synapse/res/templates
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/synapse/res/templates>`_.
-
-3pid verification changes
--------------------------
-
-**Note: As of this release, users will be unable to add phone numbers or email
-addresses to their accounts, without changes to the Synapse configuration. This
-includes adding an email address during registration.**
-
-It is possible for a user to associate an email address or phone number
-with their account, for a number of reasons:
-
-* for use when logging in, as an alternative to the user id.
-* in the case of email, as an alternative contact to help with account recovery.
-* in the case of email, to receive notifications of missed messages.
-
-Before an email address or phone number can be added to a user's account,
-or before such an address is used to carry out a password-reset, Synapse must
-confirm the operation with the owner of the email address or phone number.
-It does this by sending an email or text giving the user a link or token to confirm
-receipt. This process is known as '3pid verification'. ('3pid', or 'threepid',
-stands for third-party identifier, and we use it to refer to external
-identifiers such as email addresses and phone numbers.)
-
-Previous versions of Synapse delegated the task of 3pid verification to an
-identity server by default. In most cases this server is ``vector.im`` or
-``matrix.org``.
-
-In Synapse 1.4.0, for security and privacy reasons, the homeserver will no
-longer delegate this task to an identity server by default. Instead,
-the server administrator will need to explicitly decide how they would like the
-verification messages to be sent.
-
-In the medium term, the ``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` identity servers will
-disable support for delegated 3pid verification entirely. However, in order to
-ease the transition, they will retain the capability for a limited
-period. Delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December
-2019 (giving roughly 2 months notice). Disabling delegated SMS verification
-will follow some time after that once SMS verification support lands in
-Synapse.
-
-Once delegated 3pid verification support has been disabled in the ``vector.im`` and
-``matrix.org`` identity servers, all Synapse versions that depend on those
-instances will be unable to verify email and phone numbers through them. There
-are no imminent plans to remove delegated 3pid verification from Sydent
-generally. (Sydent is the identity server project that backs the ``vector.im`` and
-``matrix.org`` instances).
-
-Email
-~~~~~
-Following upgrade, to continue verifying email (e.g. as part of the
-registration process), admins can either:-
-
-* Configure Synapse to use an email server.
-* Run or choose an identity server which allows delegated email verification
-  and delegate to it.
-
-Configure SMTP in Synapse
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
-headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host, smtp_port``
-and ``notif_from`` fields filled out.
-
-You may also need to set ``smtp_user``, ``smtp_pass``, and
-``require_transport_security``.
-
-See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_ for more details
-on these settings.
-
-Delegate email to an identity server
-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-Some admins will wish to continue using email verification as part of the
-registration process, but will not immediately have an appropriate SMTP server
-at hand.
-
-To this end, we will continue to support email verification delegation via the
-``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` identity servers for two months. Support for
-delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December.
-
-The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
-should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
-<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
-confirmation messages via email and SMS.
-
-So to delegate email verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
-``account_threepid_delegates.email`` to the base URL of an identity server. For
-example:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   account_threepid_delegates:
-       email: https://example.com     # Delegate email sending to example.com
-
-Note that ``account_threepid_delegates.email`` replaces the deprecated
-``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets``: if
-``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is set to ``true``, and
-``account_threepid_delegates.email`` is not set, then the first entry in
-``trusted_third_party_id_servers`` will be used as the
-``account_threepid_delegate`` for email. This is to ensure compatibility with
-existing Synapse installs that set up external server handling for these tasks
-before v1.4.0. If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is
-``true`` and no trusted identity server domains are configured, Synapse will
-report an error and refuse to start.
-
-If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is ``false`` or absent
-and no ``email`` delegate is configured in ``account_threepid_delegates``,
-then Synapse will send email verification messages itself, using the configured
-SMTP server (see above).
-that type.
-
-Phone numbers
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Synapse does not support phone-number verification itself, so the only way to
-maintain the ability for users to add phone numbers to their accounts will be
-by continuing to delegate phone number verification to the ``matrix.org`` and
-``vector.im`` identity servers (or another identity server that supports SMS
-sending).
-
-The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
-should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
-<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
-confirmation messages via email and SMS.
-
-So to delegate phone number verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
-``account_threepid_delegates.msisdn`` to the base URL of an identity
-server. For example:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   account_threepid_delegates:
-       msisdn: https://example.com     # Delegate sms sending to example.com
-
-The ``matrix.org`` and ``vector.im`` identity servers will continue to support
-delegated phone number verification via SMS until such time as it is possible
-for admins to configure their servers to perform phone number verification
-directly. More details will follow in a future release.
-
-Rolling back to v1.3.1
-----------------------
-
-If you encounter problems with v1.4.0, it should be possible to roll back to
-v1.3.1, subject to the following:
-
-* The 'room statistics' engine was heavily reworked in this release (see
-  `#5971 <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5971>`_), including
-  significant changes to the database schema, which are not easily
-  reverted. This will cause the room statistics engine to stop updating when
-  you downgrade.
-
-  The room statistics are essentially unused in v1.3.1 (in future versions of
-  Synapse, they will be used to populate the room directory), so there should
-  be no loss of functionality. However, the statistics engine will write errors
-  to the logs, which can be avoided by setting the following in
-  `homeserver.yaml`:
-
-  .. code:: yaml
-
-    stats:
-      enabled: false
-
-  Don't forget to re-enable it when you upgrade again, in preparation for its
-  use in the room directory!
-
-Upgrading to v1.2.0
-===================
-
-Some counter metrics have been renamed, with the old names deprecated. See
-`the metrics documentation <docs/metrics-howto.md#renaming-of-metrics--deprecation-of-old-names-in-12>`_
-for details.
-
-Upgrading to v1.1.0
-===================
-
-Synapse v1.1.0 removes support for older Python and PostgreSQL versions, as
-outlined in `our deprecation notice <https://matrix.org/blog/2019/04/08/synapse-deprecating-postgres-9-4-and-python-2-x>`_.
-
-Minimum Python Version
-----------------------
-
-Synapse v1.1.0 has a minimum Python requirement of Python 3.5. Python 3.6 or
-Python 3.7 are recommended as they have improved internal string handling,
-significantly reducing memory usage.
-
-If you use current versions of the Matrix.org-distributed Debian packages or
-Docker images, action is not required.
-
-If you install Synapse in a Python virtual environment, please see "Upgrading to
-v0.34.0" for notes on setting up a new virtualenv under Python 3.
-
-Minimum PostgreSQL Version
---------------------------
-
-If using PostgreSQL under Synapse, you will need to use PostgreSQL 9.5 or above.
-Please see the
-`PostgreSQL documentation <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/upgrading.html>`_
-for more details on upgrading your database.
-
-Upgrading to v1.0
-=================
-
-Validation of TLS certificates
-------------------------------
-
-Synapse v1.0 is the first release to enforce
-validation of TLS certificates for the federation API. It is therefore
-essential that your certificates are correctly configured. See the `FAQ
-<docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md>`_ for more information.

-Note, v1.0 installations will also no longer be able to federate with servers
-that have not correctly configured their certificates.
-
-In rare cases, it may be desirable to disable certificate checking: for
-example, it might be essential to be able to federate with a given legacy
-server in a closed federation. This can be done in one of two ways:-
-
-* Configure the global switch ``federation_verify_certificates`` to ``false``.
-* Configure a whitelist of server domains to trust via ``federation_certificate_verification_whitelist``.
-
-See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_
-for more details on these settings.
-
-Email
------
-When a user requests a password reset, Synapse will send an email to the
-user to confirm the request.
-
-Previous versions of Synapse delegated the job of sending this email to an
-identity server. If the identity server was somehow malicious or became
-compromised, it would be theoretically possible to hijack an account through
-this means.
-
-Therefore, by default, Synapse v1.0 will send the confirmation email itself. If
-Synapse is not configured with an SMTP server, password reset via email will be
-disabled.
-
-To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
-headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host``, ``smtp_port``
-and ``notif_from`` fields filled out. You may also need to set ``smtp_user``,
-``smtp_pass``, and ``require_transport_security``.
-
-If you are absolutely certain that you wish to continue using an identity
-server for password resets, set ``trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` to ``true``.
-
-See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_
-for more details on these settings.
-
-New email templates
----------------
-Some new templates have been added to the default template directory for the purpose of the
-homeserver sending its own password reset emails. If you have configured a custom
-``template_dir`` in your Synapse config, these files will need to be added.
-
-``password_reset.html`` and ``password_reset.txt`` are HTML and plain text templates
-respectively that contain the contents of what will be emailed to the user upon attempting to
-reset their password via email. ``password_reset_success.html`` and
-``password_reset_failure.html`` are HTML files that the content of which (assuming no redirect
-URL is set) will be shown to the user after they attempt to click the link in the email sent
-to them.
-
-Upgrading to v0.99.0
-====================
-
-Please be aware that, before Synapse v1.0 is released around March 2019, you
-will need to replace any self-signed certificates with those verified by a
-root CA. Information on how to do so can be found at `the ACME docs
-<docs/ACME.md>`_.
-
-For more information on configuring TLS certificates see the `FAQ <docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md>`_.
-
-Upgrading to v0.34.0
-====================
-
-1. This release is the first to fully support Python 3. Synapse will now run on
-   Python versions 3.5, or 3.6 (as well as 2.7). We recommend switching to
-   Python 3, as it has been shown to give performance improvements.
-
-   For users who have installed Synapse into a virtualenv, we recommend doing
-   this by creating a new virtualenv. For example::
-
-       virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env3
-       source ~/synapse/env3/bin/activate
-       pip install matrix-synapse
-
-   You can then start synapse as normal, having activated the new virtualenv::
-
-       cd ~/synapse
-       source env3/bin/activate
-       synctl start
-
-   Users who have installed from distribution packages should see the relevant
-   package documentation. See below for notes on Debian packages.
-
-   * When upgrading to Python 3, you **must** make sure that your log files are
-     configured as UTF-8, by adding ``encoding: utf8`` to the
-     ``RotatingFileHandler`` configuration (if you have one) in your
-     ``<server>.log.config`` file. For example, if your ``log.config`` file
-     contains::
-
-       handlers:
-         file:
-           class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filename: homeserver.log
-           maxBytes: 104857600
-           backupCount: 10
-           filters: [context]
-         console:
-           class: logging.StreamHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filters: [context]
-
-     Then you should update this to be::
-
-       handlers:
-         file:
-           class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filename: homeserver.log
-           maxBytes: 104857600
-           backupCount: 10
-           filters: [context]
-           encoding: utf8
-         console:
-           class: logging.StreamHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filters: [context]
-
-     There is no need to revert this change if downgrading to Python 2.
-
-   We are also making available Debian packages which will run Synapse on
-   Python 3. You can switch to these packages with ``apt-get install
-   matrix-synapse-py3``, however, please read `debian/NEWS
-   <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v0.34.0/debian/NEWS>`_
-   before doing so. The existing ``matrix-synapse`` packages will continue to
-   use Python 2 for the time being.
-
-2. This release removes the ``riot.im`` from the default list of trusted
-   identity servers.
-
-   If ``riot.im`` is in your homeserver's list of
-   ``trusted_third_party_id_servers``, you should remove it. It was added in
-   case a hypothetical future identity server was put there. If you don't
-   remove it, users may be unable to deactivate their accounts.
-
-3. This release no longer installs the (unmaintained) Matrix Console web client
-   as part of the default installation. It is possible to re-enable it by
-   installing it separately and setting the ``web_client_location`` config
-   option, but please consider switching to another client.
-
-Upgrading to v0.33.7
-====================
-
-This release removes the example email notification templates from
-``res/templates`` (they are now internal to the python package). This should
-only affect you if you (a) deploy your Synapse instance from a git checkout or
-a github snapshot URL, and (b) have email notifications enabled.
-
-If you have email notifications enabled, you should ensure that
-``email.template_dir`` is either configured to point at a directory where you
-have installed customised templates, or leave it unset to use the default
-templates.
-
-Upgrading to v0.27.3
-====================
-
-This release expands the anonymous usage stats sent if the opt-in
-``report_stats`` configuration is set to ``true``. We now capture RSS memory
-and cpu use at a very coarse level. This requires administrators to install
-the optional ``psutil`` python module.
-
-We would appreciate it if you could assist by ensuring this module is available
-and ``report_stats`` is enabled. This will let us see if performance changes to
-synapse are having an impact to the general community.
-
-Upgrading to v0.15.0
-====================
-
-If you want to use the new URL previewing API (/_matrix/media/r0/preview_url)
-then you have to explicitly enable it in the config and update your dependencies
-dependencies.  See README.rst for details.
-
-
-Upgrading to v0.11.0
-====================
-
-This release includes the option to send anonymous usage stats to matrix.org,
-and requires that administrators explictly opt in or out by setting the
-``report_stats`` option to either ``true`` or ``false``.
-
-We would really appreciate it if you could help our project out by reporting
-anonymized usage statistics from your homeserver. Only very basic aggregate
-data (e.g. number of users) will be reported, but it helps us to track the
-growth of the Matrix community, and helps us to make Matrix a success, as well
-as to convince other networks that they should peer with us.
-
-
-Upgrading to v0.9.0
-===================
-
-Application services have had a breaking API change in this version.
-
-They can no longer register themselves with a home server using the AS HTTP API. This
-decision was made because a compromised application service with free reign to register
-any regex in effect grants full read/write access to the home server if a regex of ``.*``
-is used. An attack where a compromised AS re-registers itself with ``.*`` was deemed too
-big of a security risk to ignore, and so the ability to register with the HS remotely has
-been removed.
-
-It has been replaced by specifying a list of application service registrations in
-``homeserver.yaml``::
-
-  app_service_config_files: ["registration-01.yaml", "registration-02.yaml"]
-
-Where ``registration-01.yaml`` looks like::
-
-  url: <String>  # e.g. "https://my.application.service.com"
-  as_token: <String>
-  hs_token: <String>
-  sender_localpart: <String>  # This is a new field which denotes the user_id localpart when using the AS token
-  namespaces:
-    users:
-      - exclusive: <Boolean>
-        regex: <String>  # e.g. "@prefix_.*"
-    aliases:
-      - exclusive: <Boolean>
-        regex: <String>
-    rooms:
-      - exclusive: <Boolean>
-        regex: <String>
-
-Upgrading to v0.8.0
-===================
-
-Servers which use captchas will need to add their public key to::
-
-  static/client/register/register_config.js
-
-    window.matrixRegistrationConfig = {
-        recaptcha_public_key: "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
-    };
-
-This is required in order to support registration fallback (typically used on
-mobile devices).
-
-
-Upgrading to v0.7.0
-===================
-
-New dependencies are:
-
-- pydenticon
-- simplejson
-- syutil
-- matrix-angular-sdk
-
-To pull in these dependencies in a virtual env, run::
-
-    python synapse/python_dependencies.py | xargs -n 1 pip install
-
-Upgrading to v0.6.0
-===================
-
-To pull in new dependencies, run::
-
-    python setup.py develop --user
-
-This update includes a change to the database schema. To upgrade you first need
-to upgrade the database by running::
-
-    python scripts/upgrade_db_to_v0.6.0.py <db> <server_name> <signing_key>
-
-Where `<db>` is the location of the database, `<server_name>` is the
-server name as specified in the synapse configuration, and `<signing_key>` is
-the location of the signing key as specified in the synapse configuration.
-
-This may take some time to complete. Failures of signatures and content hashes
-can safely be ignored.
-
-
-Upgrading to v0.5.1
-===================
-
-Depending on precisely when you installed v0.5.0 you may have ended up with
-a stale release of the reference matrix webclient installed as a python module.
-To uninstall it and ensure you are depending on the latest module, please run::
-
-    $ pip uninstall syweb
-
-Upgrading to v0.5.0
-===================
-
-The webclient has been split out into a seperate repository/pacakage in this
-release. Before you restart your homeserver you will need to pull in the
-webclient package by running::
-
-  python setup.py develop --user
-
-This release completely changes the database schema and so requires upgrading
-it before starting the new version of the homeserver.
-
-The script "database-prepare-for-0.5.0.sh" should be used to upgrade the
-database. This will save all user information, such as logins and profiles,
-but will otherwise purge the database. This includes messages, which
-rooms the home server was a member of and room alias mappings.
-
-If you would like to keep your history, please take a copy of your database
-file and ask for help in #matrix:matrix.org. The upgrade process is,
-unfortunately, non trivial and requires human intervention to resolve any
-resulting conflicts during the upgrade process.
-
-Before running the command the homeserver should be first completely
-shutdown. To run it, simply specify the location of the database, e.g.:
-
-  ./scripts/database-prepare-for-0.5.0.sh "homeserver.db"
-
-Once this has successfully completed it will be safe to restart the
-homeserver. You may notice that the homeserver takes a few seconds longer to
-restart than usual as it reinitializes the database.
-
-On startup of the new version, users can either rejoin remote rooms using room
-aliases or by being reinvited. Alternatively, if any other homeserver sends a
-message to a room that the homeserver was previously in the local HS will
-automatically rejoin the room.
-
-Upgrading to v0.4.0
-===================
-
-This release needs an updated syutil version. Run::
-
-    python setup.py develop
-
-You will also need to upgrade your configuration as the signing key format has
-changed. Run::
-
-    python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path <CONFIG> --generate-config
-
-
-Upgrading to v0.3.0
-===================
-
-This registration API now closely matches the login API. This introduces a bit
-more backwards and forwards between the HS and the client, but this improves
-the overall flexibility of the API. You can now GET on /register to retrieve a list
-of valid registration flows. Upon choosing one, they are submitted in the same
-way as login, e.g::
-
-  {
-    type: m.login.password,
-    user: foo,
-    password: bar
-  }
-
-The default HS supports 2 flows, with and without Identity Server email
-authentication. Enabling captcha on the HS will add in an extra step to all
-flows: ``m.login.recaptcha`` which must be completed before you can transition
-to the next stage. There is a new login type: ``m.login.email.identity`` which
-contains the ``threepidCreds`` key which were previously sent in the original
-register request. For more information on this, see the specification.
-
-Web Client
-----------
-
-The VoIP specification has changed between v0.2.0 and v0.3.0. Users should
-refresh any browser tabs to get the latest web client code. Users on
-v0.2.0 of the web client will not be able to call those on v0.3.0 and
-vice versa.
-
-
-Upgrading to v0.2.0
-===================
-
-The home server now requires setting up of SSL config before it can run. To
-automatically generate default config use::
-
-    $ python synapse/app/homeserver.py \
-        --server-name machine.my.domain.name \
-        --bind-port 8448 \
-        --config-path homeserver.config \
-        --generate-config
-
-This config can be edited if desired, for example to specify a different SSL
-certificate to use. Once done you can run the home server using::
-
-    $ python synapse/app/homeserver.py --config-path homeserver.config
-
-See the README.rst for more information.
-
-Also note that some config options have been renamed, including:
-
-- "host" to "server-name"
-- "database" to "database-path"
-- "port" to "bind-port" and "unsecure-port"
-
-
-Upgrading to v0.0.1
-===================
-
-This release completely changes the database schema and so requires upgrading
-it before starting the new version of the homeserver.
-
-The script "database-prepare-for-0.0.1.sh" should be used to upgrade the
-database. This will save all user information, such as logins and profiles,
-but will otherwise purge the database. This includes messages, which
-rooms the home server was a member of and room alias mappings.
-
-Before running the command the homeserver should be first completely
-shutdown. To run it, simply specify the location of the database, e.g.:
-
-  ./scripts/database-prepare-for-0.0.1.sh "homeserver.db"
-
-Once this has successfully completed it will be safe to restart the
-homeserver. You may notice that the homeserver takes a few seconds longer to
-restart than usual as it reinitializes the database.
-
-On startup of the new version, users can either rejoin remote rooms using room
-aliases or by being reinvited. Alternatively, if any other homeserver sends a
-message to a room that the homeserver was previously in the local HS will
-automatically rejoin the room.

-https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5518. Contributions to bring it up
-to date would be welcome.
-
-### Automated configuration
-
-It is recommended that you use Docker Compose to run your containers, including
-this image and a Postgres server. A sample ``docker-compose.yml`` is provided,
-including example labels for reverse proxying and other artifacts.
-
-Read the section about environment variables and set at least mandatory variables,
-then run the server:
-
-```
-docker-compose up -d
-```
-
-If secrets are not specified in the environment variables, they will be generated
-as part of the startup. Please ensure these secrets are kept between launches of the
-Docker container, as their loss may require users to log in again.
-
-### Manual configuration
+### Configuration
 
 A sample ``docker-compose.yml`` is provided, including example labels for
 reverse proxying and other artifacts. The docker-compose file is an example,
 please comment/uncomment sections that are not suitable for your usecase.
 
 Specify a ``SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH``, preferably to a persistent path,
-to use manual configuration. To generate a fresh ``homeserver.yaml``, simply run:
+to use manual configuration.
+
+To generate a fresh `homeserver.yaml`, you can use the `generate` command.
+(See the [documentation](../../docker/README.md#generating-a-configuration-file)
+for more information.) You will need to specify appropriate values for at least the
+`SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME` and `SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS` environment variables. For example:
 
 ```
-docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host synapse generate
+docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=yes synapse generate
 ```
 
+(This will also generate necessary signing keys.)
+
 Then, customize your configuration and run the server:
