# Setting up Synapse with Workers and Systemd
|
|
|
|
This is a setup for managing synapse with systemd, including support for
|
|
managing workers. It provides a `matrix-synapse` service for the master, as
|
|
well as a `matrix-synapse-worker@` service template for any workers you
|
|
require. Additionally, to group the required services, it sets up a
|
|
`matrix-synapse.target`.
|
|
|
|
See the folder [system](system) for the systemd unit files.
|
|
|
|
The folder [workers](workers) contains an example configuration for the
|
|
`federation_reader` worker.
|
|
|
|
## Synapse configuration files
|
|
|
|
See [workers.md](../workers.md) for information on how to set up the
|
|
configuration files and reverse-proxy correctly. You can find an example worker
|
|
config in the [workers](workers) folder.
|
|
|
|
Systemd manages daemonization itself, so ensure that none of the configuration
|
|
files set either `daemonize` or `worker_daemonize`.
|
|
|
|
The config files of all workers are expected to be located in
|
|
`/etc/matrix-synapse/workers`. If you want to use a different location, edit
|
|
the provided `*.service` files accordingly.
|
|
|
|
There is no need for a separate configuration file for the master process.
|
|
|
|
## Set up
|
|
|
|
1. Adjust synapse configuration files as above.
|
|
1. Copy the `*.service` and `*.target` files in [system](system) to
|
|
`/etc/systemd/system`.
|
|
1. Run `systemctl daemon-reload` to tell systemd to load the new unit files.
|
|
1. Run `systemctl enable matrix-synapse.service`. This will configure the
|
|
synapse master process to be started as part of the `matrix-synapse.target`
|
|
target.
|
|
1. For each worker process to be enabled, run `systemctl enable
|
|
matrix-synapse-worker@<worker_name>.service`. For each `<worker_name>`, there
|
|
should be a corresponding configuration file.
|
|
`/etc/matrix-synapse/workers/<worker_name>.yaml`.
|
|
1. Start all the synapse processes with `systemctl start matrix-synapse.target`.
|
|
1. Tell systemd to start synapse on boot with `systemctl enable matrix-synapse.target`.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Once the services are correctly set up, you can use the following commands
|
|
to manage your synapse installation:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Restart Synapse master and all workers
|
|
systemctl restart matrix-synapse.target
|
|
|
|
# Stop Synapse and all workers
|
|
systemctl stop matrix-synapse.target
|
|
|
|
# Restart the master alone
|
|
systemctl start matrix-synapse.service
|
|
|
|
# Restart a specific worker (eg. federation_reader); the master is
|
|
# unaffected by this.
|
|
systemctl restart matrix-synapse-worker@federation_reader.service
|
|
|
|
# Add a new worker (assuming all configs are set up already)
|
|
systemctl enable matrix-synapse-worker@federation_writer.service
|
|
systemctl restart matrix-synapse.target
|
|
```
