# Synapse Docker # Synapse Docker
The `matrixdotorg/synapse` Docker image will run Synapse as a single process. It does not provide a
database server or a TURN server, you should run these separately.
If you run a Postgres server, you should simply include it in the same Compose
project or set the proper environment variables and the image will automatically
use that server.
## Build
Build the docker image with the `docker-compose build` command.
You may have a local Python wheel cache available, in which case copy the relevant packages in the ``cache/`` directory at the root of the project.
## Run
This image is designed to run either with an automatically generated configuration
file or with a custom configuration that requires manual edition.
### Automated configuration ### Automated configuration

Docker commands. Note that the following is just a guideline and you may need
to add parameters to the docker run command to account for the network situation
with your postgres database.
```
docker run \
-d \
--name synapse \
-v ${DATA_PATH}:/data \
-e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host \
-e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=yes \
docker.io/matrixdotorg/synapse:latest
```
## Volumes
The image expects a single volume, located at ``/data``, that will hold:
* temporary files during uploads;
* uploaded media and thumbnails;
* the SQLite database if you do not configure postgres;
* the appservices configuration.
You are free to use separate volumes depending on storage endpoints at your
disposal. For instance, ``/data/media`` coud be stored on a large but low
performance hdd storage while other files could be stored on high performance
endpoints.
In order to setup an application service, simply create an ``appservices``
directory in the data volume and write the application service Yaml
configuration file there. Multiple application services are supported.
## Environment
Unless you specify a custom path for the configuration file, a very generic
file will be generated, based on the following environment settings.
These are a good starting point for setting up your own deployment.
Global settings:
* ``UID``, the user id Synapse will run as [default 991]
* ``GID``, the group id Synapse will run as [default 991]
* ``SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH``, path to a custom config file
If ``SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH`` is set, you should generate a configuration file
then customize it manually. No other environment variable is required.
Otherwise, a dynamic configuration file will be used. The following environment
variables are available for configuration:
* ``SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME`` (mandatory), the current server public hostname.
* ``SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS``, (mandatory, ``yes`` or ``no``), enable anonymous
statistics reporting back to the Matrix project which helps us to get funding.
* ``SYNAPSE_NO_TLS``, set this variable to disable TLS in Synapse (use this if
you run your own TLS-capable reverse proxy).
* ``SYNAPSE_ENABLE_REGISTRATION``, set this variable to enable registration on
the Synapse instance.
* ``SYNAPSE_ALLOW_GUEST``, set this variable to allow guest joining this server.
* ``SYNAPSE_EVENT_CACHE_SIZE``, the event cache size [default `10K`].
* ``SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR``, the cache factor [default `0.5`].
* ``SYNAPSE_RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY``, set this variable to the recaptcha public
key in order to enable recaptcha upon registration.
* ``SYNAPSE_RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY``, set this variable to the recaptcha private
key in order to enable recaptcha upon registration.
* ``SYNAPSE_TURN_URIS``, set this variable to the coma-separated list of TURN
uris to enable TURN for this homeserver.
* ``SYNAPSE_TURN_SECRET``, set this to the TURN shared secret if required.
Shared secrets, that will be initialized to random values if not set:
* ``SYNAPSE_REGISTRATION_SHARED_SECRET``, secret for registrering users if
registration is disable.
* ``SYNAPSE_MACAROON_SECRET_KEY`` secret for signing access tokens
to the server.
Database specific values (will use SQLite if not set):
* `POSTGRES_DB` - The database name for the synapse postgres database. [default: `synapse`]
* `POSTGRES_HOST` - The host of the postgres database if you wish to use postgresql instead of sqlite3. [default: `db` which is useful when using a container on the same docker network in a compose file where the postgres service is called `db`]
* `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` - The password for the synapse postgres database. **If this is set then postgres will be used instead of sqlite3.** [default: none] **NOTE**: You are highly encouraged to use postgresql! Please use the compose file to make it easier to deploy.
* `POSTGRES_USER` - The user for the synapse postgres database. [default: `matrix`]
Mail server specific values (will not send emails if not set):
* ``SYNAPSE_SMTP_HOST``, hostname to the mail server.
* ``SYNAPSE_SMTP_PORT``, TCP port for accessing the mail server [default ``25``].
* ``SYNAPSE_SMTP_USER``, username for authenticating against the mail server if any.
* ``SYNAPSE_SMTP_PASSWORD``, password for authenticating against the mail server if any.

# Synapse Docker
This Docker image will run Synapse as a single process. It does not provide a database
server or a TURN server, you should run these separately.
## Run
We do not currently offer a `latest` image, as this has somewhat undefined semantics.
We instead release only tagged versions so upgrading between releases is entirely
within your control.
### Using docker-compose (easier)
This image is designed to run either with an automatically generated configuration
file or with a custom configuration that requires manual edition.
An easy way to make use of this image is via docker-compose, see the (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/contrib/docker)[contrib] section of the synapse project for examples.
### Without Compose (harder)
If you do not wish to use Compose, you may still run this image using plain
Docker commands. Note that the following is just a guideline and you may need
to add parameters to the docker run command to account for the network situation
with your postgres database.
```
docker run \
-d \
--name synapse \
-v ${DATA_PATH}:/data \
-e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host \
-e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=yes \
docker.io/matrixdotorg/synapse:latest
```

* ``SYNAPSE_SMTP_PASSWORD``, password for authenticating against the mail server if any.
## Build
Build the docker image with the `docker build` command from the root of the synapse repository.
```
docker build -t docker.io/matrixdotorg/synapse . -f docker/Dockerfile
```
The `-t` option sets the image tag. Official images are tagged `matrixdotorg/synapse:<version>` where `<version>` is the same as the release tag in the synapse git repository.
You may have a local Python wheel cache available, in which case copy the relevant
packages in the ``cache/`` directory at the root of the project.
