Adds the option to load the Redis password from a file, instead of
giving it in the config directly. The code is similar to how it’s done
for `registration_shared_secret_path`. I changed the example in the
documentation to represent the best practice regarding the handling of
secrets.
Reading secrets from files has the security advantage of separating the
secrets from the config. It also simplifies secrets management in
Kubernetes.
Added a note in the documentation suggesting that users may set
`PYTHONMALLOC=malloc` when using `jemalloc`. This allows jemalloc to
track memory usage more accurately by bypassing Python's internal
small-object allocator (`pymalloc`), helping to ensure that
`cache_autotuning` functions as expected.
This doc change aims to provide more clarity for users configuring
jemalloc with Synapse.
Based on:
4ac783549c/synapse/metrics/jemalloc.py (L198-L201)
This was a note added in the PR to move to AGPL, which we failed to
remove before landing.
(The context for this was that we needed to decide if we were going to
change which debian repository we published too, but decided not to in
the end)
This is to address an issue in which `m.presence` results on initial
sync are not returning entries of users who are currently offline.
The original behaviour was from
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/1535
This change is useful for applications that use the
presence system for tracking user profile information/updates (e.g.
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/16992 or for profile status
messages).
This is gated behind a new configuration option to avoid performance
impact for applications that don't need this, as a pragmatic solution
for now.
Added RHEL/Rocky install instructions (PyPI). Instructions cover
versions 8 and 9 which are the only supported ones - except for RHEL7
which is now on extended life cycle support phase.
Large part of the guide is for installing Python 3.11 or 3.12. RHEL8
ships with Python 3.6 and RHEL9 ships with 3.9. Newer Python versions
can be installed easily as they don't interfere with OS software that
still relies on the default Python version.
I was first planning to add prerequisites part to the prerequisites
section and then install instructions on the top of the page but that
section is for pre-built packages so it just didn't sound right. So I
just dumped everything to the PyPI section of the page. But suggestions
to change are welcome.
I also didn't combine these with Fedora section. I haven't tested those
packages on RHEL and Fedora ships with Python 3.12 out-of-box.
Follows on from @H-Shay's great work at
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15344 and MSC4026.
Also enables its use for MSC3881, mainly as an easy but concrete example
of how to use it.
A simple change to update the docs where default values were missing.

This PR ports the logic from the
[synapse_auto_accept_invite](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-auto-accept-invite)
module into synapse.
I went with the naive approach of injecting the "module" next to where
third party modules are currently loaded. If there is a better/preferred
way to handle this, I'm all ears. It wasn't obvious to me if there was a
better location to add this logic that would cleanly apply to all
incoming invite events.
Relies on https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17166 to fix linter
errors.
This is to allow clients to query the configured federation whitelist.
Disabled by default.

This change will apply the `email` & `picture` provided by OIDC to the
new user account when registering a new user via OIDC. If the user is
directed to the account details form, this change makes sure they have
been selected before applying them, otherwise they are omitted. In
particular, this change ensures the values are carried through when
Synapse has consent configured, and the redirect to the consent form/s
are followed.
I have tested everything manually. Including:
- with/without consent configured
- allowing/not allowing the use of email/avatar (via
`sso_auth_account_details.html`)
- with/without automatic account detail population (by un/commenting the
`localpart_template` option in synapse config).
