I run a homeserver whose logs show a high number of incoming empty
presence EDUs originating from the user agent "Conduwuit/0.4.4". They
arrive at a rate of about 2 queries per second per Conduwuit server.
The empty EDUs all look the same, only with `origin_server_ts`
increasing:
```
{"origin":"example.com","origin_server_ts":1720266475601,"edus":[{"edu_type":"m.presence","content":{"push":[]}}]}
```
These updates are unnecessary because they don't do anything. They
only increase network traffic and CPU usage on both sides.
After this commit, the empty presence updates are no longer inserted
into the outgoing event queue.

The previous code would drop some events entirely if any events between
`skip` and `skip + limit` were not visible to the user. This would cause
the set of events skipped by the `skip(skip)` method to extend past
`skip` in the raw result set, because `skip(skip)` was being called
*after* filtering out invisible events.
This bug will become much more severe with a full filtering
implementation, because it will be more likely for events to be filtered
out. Currently, it is only possible to trigger with rooms that have
history visibility set to "invited" or "joined".

this `real_users_cache` cache seems weird, and i have no idea what
prompted its creation upstream. perhaps they did this because
sqlite was very slow and their rocksdb setup is very poor, so
a "solution" was to stick member counts in memory.
slow iterators, scanning, etc do not apply to conduwuit where
our rocksdb is extremely tuned, and i seriously doubt something
like this would have any real world net-positive performance impact.
also for some reason, there is suspicious logic where we
overwrite the entire push target collection.

The original implementation of this was really weird, so I restructed it
a lot while debugging, and am just gonna leave the restructured version.
Root cause of the segfault seems to be that upstream nixpkgs liburing
derivation is generating both static and dynamic libraries, causing
rocksdb to statically link liburing in a dynamic build, pulling in some
allocator stuff at the same time. I created a PR[1] to fix this upstream,
but it probably won't be available on nixos-unstable for quite a while,
so we can also patch it locally.

I talked to somebody yesterday in #conduwuit:puppygock.gay that was using
this output in their system config. The dynamically-linked jemalloc build
is quite fragile, and is not tested by anything else in CI. We want to
make sure we don't break it again in the future.
This failed to inherit the fix from bec507d739
because the crane package's buildInputs become propagatedBuildInputs in
a static stdenv, but become normal buildInputs in a dynamic stdenv. Since
we were only pulling propagatedBuildInputs into the devshell, dynamically
linked devshells did not include the rust-jemalloc-sys package. This
causes tikv-jemalloc-sys to build it's own static jemalloc package, and
we end up loading libc before jemalloc at runtime.
It turns out that this was actually fixed by
bec507d739 and
857ac42aac, but we didn't identify it at the
time. Notably, the `dynamic` devshell is still broken.

Previously we were relying on NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE, but this is not being

be to build the tests in their own nix derivation instead of building
them in the devshell, but this change unblocks CI for now.

Full build log at <https://girlboss.ceo/~strawberry/pb/ygJ3>. This is
likely fixable with patches to rocksdb, but not worth it since darwin is
only a dev platform.
CI is running `cargo build --all-features`, so we should be passing all
the features to nix as well.
The only thing this currently affects is the jemalloc_prof feature, but if
we add any non-default features that affect nix in the future they should
also be handled correctly now.
Dynamically-linked jemalloc doesn't work due to link-order issues, and we
want CI to be testing a static binary anyway since that's what we're
publishing in releases.
Some of the features affect nix dependencies, so we need to have a
full feature list available when constructing the nix derivation. This
incidentally fixes the bug where we weren't enabling jemalloc on rocksdb
in CI/devshells, because jemalloc is now a default feature. It does not
fix the more general class of that issue, where CI is performing an
`--all-features` build in a nix devshell built for default-features.
I am now passing `--no-default-features` to cargo, and having it use our
unified feature list rather than duplicating the unification inside cargo.
Without setting JEMALLOC_OVERRIDE, we end up linking to two different
jemalloc builds. Once dynamically, as a transitive dependency through
rocksdb, and a second time to the static jemalloc that tikv-jemalloc-sys
builds.
Previously, we were returning redundant member count updates or encrypted
device updates from the /sync endpoint in some cases. The extra member
count updates are spec-compliant, but unnecessary, while the extra
encrypted device updates violate the spec.
The refactor necessary to fix this bug is also necessary to support
filtering on state events in sync.
Details:
Joined room incremental sync needs to examine state events for four
purposes:
1. determining whether we need to return an update to room member counts
2. determining the set of left/joined devices for encrypted rooms
(returned in `device_lists`)
3. returning state events to the client (in `rooms.joined.*.state`)
4. tracking which member events we have sent to the client, so they can
be omitted on future requests when lazy-loading is enabled.
The state events that we need to examine for the first two cases is member
events in the delta between `since` and the end of `timeline`. For the
second two cases, we need the delta between `since` and the start of
`timeline`, plus contextual member events for any senders that occur in
`timeline`. The second list is subject to filtering, while the first is
not.
Before this change, we were using the same set of state events that we are
returning to the client (cases 3/4) to do the analysis for cases 1/2.
In a compliant implementation, this would result in us missing some
relevant member events in 1/2 in addition to seeing redundant member
events. In current conduwuit this is not the case because the set of
events that we return to the client is always a superset of the set that
is needed for cases 1/2. This is because we don't support filtering, and
we have an existing bug[1] where we are returning the delta between
`since` and the end of `timeline` rather than the start.
[1]: https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit/issues/361
Fixing this is necessary to implement filtering because otherwise
we would start missing some member events for member count or encrypted
device updates if the relevant member events are rejected by the filter.
This would be much worse than our current behavior.
This cache can serve invalid responses, and has an extremely low hit
rate.
It serves invalid responses because because it's only keyed off
the `since` parameter, but many of the other request parameters also
affect the response or it's side effects. This will become worse once we
implement filtering, because there will be a wider space of parameters
with different responses. This problem is fixable, but not worth it
because of the low hit rate.
The low hit rate is because normal clients will always issue the next
sync request with `since` set to the `prev_batch` value of the previous
response. The only time we expect to see multiple requests with the same
`since` is when the response is empty, but we don't cache empty
responses.
This was confirmed experimentally by logging cache hits and misses over
15 minutes with a wide variety of clients. This test was run on
matrix.computer.surgery, which has only a few active users, but a
large volume of sync traffic from many rooms. Over the test period, we
had 3 hits and 5309 misses. All hits occurred in the first minute, so I
suspect that they had something to do with client recovery from an
offline state. The clients that were connected during the test are:
- element web
- schildichat web
- iamb
- gomuks
- nheko
- fractal
- fluffychat web
- fluffychat android
- cinny web
- element android
- element X android

Hardcoding the output path to something in CWD is a pain if you're running
conduwuit through systemd or similar. Also made the error message when
it's unable to create the output file a little more friendly.
Previously, enabling the `tracing_flame` or `allow_jaeger` options would
prevent any logs from being written to stdout. In addition, enabling the
`allow_jaeger` option would inhibit the `tracing_flame` option.
Now that we have a way to use separate tracing filters with different
layers, we can enable all three at the same time without issues.
This commit also prevents the `debug log_level` command from modifying
the `tracing-flame` filter. This was supported previously, but I don't
think it's something that you would ever want to do intentionally. Now
that we have both the normal log filter and the `tracing-flame` filter
enabled at the same time, we want to `debug log_level` to only modify the
normal filter.

This turned out to be quite hairy, mostly because we need to apply the
config's log level filter to the actual logs (stdout and, optionally

the console_subscriber. I hit several edge cases in tracing getting
this to work, and we now depend on a git version of tracing with a

All images should be generating correctly with parallelism and Docker manifests, and should output the end of the CI testing errors in a job summary box when the test fails.

If you run into any problems while setting up an Appservice, write an email to `timo@koesters.xyz`, ask us in [#conduit:fachschaften.org](https://matrix.to/#/#conduit:fachschaften.org) or [open an issue on GitLab](https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/issues/new).
## Set up the appservice - general instructions
Follow whatever instructions are given by the appservice. This usually includes
downloading, changing its config (setting domain, homeserver url, port etc.)
and later starting it.
At some point the appservice guide should ask you to add a registration yaml
file to the homeserver. In Synapse you would do this by adding the path to the
homeserver.yaml, but in Conduit you can do this from within Matrix:
First, go into the #admins room of your homeserver. The first person that
registered on the homeserver automatically joins it. Then send a message into
the room like this:
@conduit:your.server.name: register-appservice
```
paste
the
contents
of
the
yaml
registration
here
```
You can confirm it worked by sending a message like this:
`@conduit:your.server.name: list-appservices`
The @conduit bot should answer with `Appservices (1): your-bridge`
Then you are done. Conduit will send messages to the appservices and the
appservice can send requests to the homeserver. You don't need to restart
Conduit, but if it doesn't work, restarting while the appservice is running
could help.
## Appservice-specific instructions
### Remove an appservice
To remove an appservice go to your admin room and execute
This page is for about contributing to conduwuit. The [development](development.md) page may be of interest for you as well.
If you would like to work on an [issue][issues] that is not assigned, preferably ask in the Matrix room first at [#conduwuit:puppygock.gay][conduwuit-matrix], and comment on it.
### Linting and Formatting
It is mandatory all your changes satisfy the lints (clippy, rustc, rustdoc, etc) and your code is formatted via the **nightly**`cargo fmt`. A lot of the `rustfmt.toml` features depend on nightly toolchain. It would be ideal if they weren't nightly-exclusive features, but they currently still are. CI's rustfmt uses nightly.
If you need to allow a lint, please make sure it's either obvious as to why (e.g. clippy saying redundant clone but it's actually required) or it has a comment saying why. Do not write inefficient code for the sake of satisfying lints. If a lint is wrong and provides a more inefficient solution or suggestion, allow the lint and mention that in a comment.
### Running CI tests locally
conduwuit's CI for tests, linting, formatting, audit, etc use [`engage`][engage]. engage can be installed from nixpkgs or `cargo install engage`. conduwuit's Nix flake devshell has the nixpkgs engage with `direnv`. Use `engage --help` for more usage details.
To test, format, lint, etc that CI would do, install engage, allow the `.envrc` file using `direnv allow`, and run `engage`.
All of the tasks are defined at the [engage.toml][engage.toml] file. You can view all of them neatly by running `engage list`
If you would like to run only a specific engage task group, use `just`:
-`engage just <group>`
- Example: `engage just lints`
If you would like to run a specific engage task in a specific group, use `just <GROUP> [TASK]`: `engage just lints cargo-fmt`
The following binaries are used in [`engage.toml`][engage.toml]:
- [`engage`][engage]
-`nix`
- [`direnv`][direnv]
-`rustc`
-`cargo`
-`cargo-fmt`
-`rustdoc`
-`cargo-clippy`
- [`cargo-audit`][cargo-audit]
- [`cargo-deb`][cargo-deb]
- [`lychee`][lychee]
- [`markdownlint-cli`][markdownlint-cli]
### Matrix tests
CI runs [Complement][complement], but currently does not fail if results from the checked-in results differ with the new results. If your changes are done to fix Matrix tests, note that in your pull request. If more Complement tests start failing from your changes, please review the logs (they are uploaded as artifacts) and determine if they're intended or not.
If you'd like to run Complement locally using Nix, see the [testing](docs/development/testing.md) page.
[Sytest][sytest] support will come soon.
### Writing documentation
conduwuit's website uses [`mdbook`][mdbook] and deployed via CI using GitHub Pages in the [`documentation.yml`][documentation.yml] workflow file with Nix's mdbook in the devshell. All documentation is in the `docs/` directory at the top level. The compiled mdbook website is also uploaded as an artifact.
To build the documentation using Nix, run: `bin/nix-build-and-cache just .#book`
The output of the mdbook generation is in `result/`. mdbooks can be opened in your browser from the individual HTML files without any web server needed.
### Inclusivity and Diversity
All **MUST** code and write with inclusivity and diversity in mind. See the [following page by Google on writing inclusive code and documentation](https://developers.google.com/style/inclusive-documentation).
This **EXPLICITLY** forbids usage of terms like "blacklist"/"whitelist" and "master"/"slave", [forbids gender-specific words and phrases](https://developers.google.com/style/pronouns#gender-neutral-pronouns), forbids ableist language like "sanity-check", "cripple", or "insane", and forbids culture-specific language (e.g. US-only holidays or cultures).
No exceptions are allowed. Dependencies that may use these terms are allowed but [do not replicate the name in your functions or variables](https://developers.google.com/style/inclusive-documentation#write-around).
In addition to language, write and code with the user experience in mind. This is software that intends to be used by everyone, so make it easy and comfortable for everyone to use. 🏳️⚧️
### Variable, comment, function, etc standards
Rust's default style and standards with regards to [function names, variable names, comments](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html), etc applies here.
### Creating pull requests
Please try to keep contributions to the GitHub. While the mirrors of conduwuit allow for pull/merge requests, there is no guarantee I will see them in a timely manner. Additionally, please mark WIP or unfinished or incomplete PRs as drafts. This prevents me from having to ping once in a while to double check the status of it, especially when the CI completed successfully and everything so it *looks* done.
If you open a pull request on one of the mirrors, it is your responsibility to inform me about its existence. In the future I may try to solve this with more repo bots in the conduwuit Matrix room. There is no mailing list or email-patch support on the sr.ht mirror, but if you'd like to email me a git patch you can do so at `strawberry@puppygock.gay`.
Direct all PRs/MRs to the `main` branch.
By sending a pull request or patch, you are agreeing that your changes are allowed to be licenced under the Apache-2.0 licence and all of your conduct is in line with the Contributor's Covenant.
Conduit uses the ports 443 and 8448 both of which need to be open in the firewall.
If Conduit runs behind a router or in a container and has a different public IP address than the host system these public ports need to be forwarded directly or indirectly to the port mentioned in the config.
## Optional: Avoid port 8448
If Conduit runs behind Cloudflare reverse proxy, which doesn't support port 8448 on free plans, [delegation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/delegate.html) can be set up to have federation traffic routed to port 443:
[SRV DNS record](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/server-server-api/#resolving-server-names) delegation is also [possible](https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/dns/dns-records/dns-srv-record/).
## Setting up a systemd service
Now we'll set up a systemd service for Conduit, so it's easy to start/stop Conduit and set it to autostart when your
server reboots. Simply paste the default systemd service you can find below into
That's it! Just start or enable the service and you're set.
```bash
$ sudo systemctl enable caddy
```
### Nginx
If you use Nginx and not Apache, add the following server section inside the http section of `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`
```nginx
server{
listen443sslhttp2;
listen[::]:443sslhttp2;
listen8448sslhttp2;
listen[::]:8448sslhttp2;
server_nameyour.server.name;# EDIT THIS

#}

# UNIX socket

ssl_trusted_certificate/etc/letsencrypt/live/your.server.name/chain.pem;# EDIT THIS
include/etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
}
```
**You need to make some edits again.** When you are done, run
```bash
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
```
## SSL Certificate
If you chose Caddy as your web proxy SSL certificates are handled automatically and you can skip this step.
The easiest way to get an SSL certificate, if you don't have one already, is to [install](https://certbot.eff.org/instructions) `certbot` and run this:
```bash
# To use ECC for the private key,
# paste into /etc/letsencrypt/cli.ini:
# key-type = ecdsa
# elliptic-curve = secp384r1
$ sudo certbot -d your.server.name
```
[Automated renewal](https://eff-certbot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/using.html#automated-renewals) is usually preconfigured.
If using Cloudflare, configure instead the edge and origin certificates in dashboard. In case you’re already running a website on the same Apache server, you can just copy-and-paste the SSL configuration from your main virtual host on port 443 into the above-mentioned vhost.
## You're done!
Now you can start Conduit with:
```bash
$ sudo systemctl start conduit
```
Set it to start automatically when your system boots with:
```bash
$ sudo systemctl enable conduit
```
## How do I know it works?
You can open <https://app.element.io>, enter your homeserver and try to register.
You can also use these commands as a quick health check.
### list of features, bug fixes, etc that conduwuit does that upstream does not:
- GitLab CI ported to GitHub Actions
- Fixed every single clippy (default lints) and rustc warnings, including some that were performance related or potential safety issues / unsoundness
- Has Renovate and significantly updates all dependencies possible
- Uses proper argon2 crate instead of questionable rust-argon2 crate
- Improved and cleaned up logging (less noisy dead server logging, registration attempts, more useful troubleshooting logging, etc)
- Attempts and interest in removing extreme and unnecessary panics/unwraps/expects that can lead to denial of service or such (upstream and upstream contributors want this unusual behaviour for some reason)
- Merged and cleaned up upstream MRs that have been sitting for 6-12 months
- Configurable RocksDB logging (`LOG` files) with proper defaults (rotate, max size, verbosity, etc) to stop LOG files from accumulating so much
- Federated presence support and configurable local presence (via upstream MR)
- Concurrency support for key fetching for faster remote room joins and room joins that will error less frequently (via upstream MR)
- Experimental room version 11 support (via upstream MR)
- Enabled all non-officially-supported room versions as experimental so we can at least attempt to join them
- Configurable guest registration including forbidding guest registrations if no admin user is created yet, respects allow registration setting, and an optional override setting with a default of no guest registrations allowed.
- Explicit startup error/warning if your configuration allows open registration without a token or such like Synapse
- Improved RocksDB defaults to use new features that help with performance significantly, uses settings tailored to SSDs, and a conduwuit setting to tell RocksDB to use settings that are tailored to HDDs or slow spinning rust storage.
- Updated Ruma to latest commit where possible, and add some unstable MSCs (some still require an implementation though)
- conduwuit allows MXIDs with `+` in them (thanks to Ruma update)
- Revamped admin room infrastructure and commands (via upstream MR)
- Admin room commands to delete room aliases and unpublish rooms from our room directory (via upstream MR)
- Make spaces/hierarchy cache use cache_capacity_modifier instead of hardcoded small value
- Make PDU appending, building, etc asynchronous
- Add *optional* feature flag to use SHA256 key names for media instead of base64 to overcome filesystem file name length limitations (OS error file name too long) (via upstream MR)
- Add *optional* feature flag to enable zstd HTTP body compression
- Add support for querying both Matrix SRV records, the deprecated `_matrix` record and `_matrix-fed` record if necessary
- Add config option for device name federation with a privacy-friendly default (disabled)
- Add config option for requiring authentication to the `/publicRooms` endpoint (room directory) with a default enabled for privacy
- Add config option for federating `/publicRooms` endpoint (room directory) to other servers with a default disabled for privacy
- Add support for listening on a UNIX socket for performance and host security with proper default permissions (660)
- Add missing `destination` key to all `X-Matrix``Authorization` requests (spec compliance issue)
- Fix spec compliance issue with servers being able to fetch remote user profiles over federation for users who don't belong to our server (`/_matrix/federation/v1/query/profile`)
- Use aggressive build-time performance optimisations for release builds (1 codegen unit, no debug, fat LTO, etc, and optimise all crates with same)
- Raise various hardcoded timeouts in codebase that were way too short, making some things like room joins and client bugs error less or none at all than they should
- Add debug admin command to force update user device lists (could potentially resolve some E2EE flukes) (`ForceDeviceListUpdates`)
- Declare various missing Matrix versions and features at `/_matrix/client/versions`
- Add support for serving server and client well-known files from conduwuit using `well_known_client` and `well_known_server` options
- Add non-standard sliding sync proxy health check (?) endpoint at `/client/server.json` that some clients such as Element Web query using the `well_known_client` or `well_known_server` config options
- Send a User-Agent on all of our requests (`conduwuit/0.7.0-alpha+conduwuit-0.1.1`) which strangely was not done upstream since forever. Some providers consider no User-Agent suspicious and block said requests.
- Safer and cleaner shutdowns on both database side as we run cleanup on shutdown and exits database loop better (no potential hanging issues in database loop), overall cleaner shutdown logic
- Basic binary commands like `conduwuit --version` work (interested in expanding it more)
- Allow HEAD HTTP requests in CORS for clients (despite not being explicity mentioned in Matrix spec, HTTP spec says all HEAD requests need to behave the same as GET requests, Synapse supports HEAD requests)
- Support for suggesting servers to join at `/_matrix/client/v3/directory/room/{roomAlias}`
- Prevent admin credential commands like reset password and deactivate user from modifying non-local users (https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/issues/377)
- Fixed spec compliance issue with room version 8 - 11 joins (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16717 / https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/1708)
- Add basic cache eviction for true destinations when requests fail if we use a cached destination (e.g. a server has modified their well-known and we're still connecting to the old destination)
- Only follow 6 redirects total in our default reqwest ClientBuilder
- Generate passwords with 25 characters instead of 15
- Add missing `reason` field to user ban events (`/ban`)
- For all [`/report`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.9/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3roomsroomidreporteventid) requests: check if the reported event ID belongs to the reported room ID, raise report reasoning character limit to 750, fix broken formatting, make a small delayed random response per spec suggestion on privacy, and check if the sender user is in the reported room.
- Support blocking servers from downloading remote media from
- Support sending `well_known` response to client logins if using config option `well_known_client`
- Send `avatar_url` on invite room membership events/changes
- Revamp example config, adding a lot of config options available (still some missing)
- Return joined member count of rooms for push rules/conditions instead of a hardcoded value of 10
- Respect *most* client parameters for `/media/` requests (`allow_redirect` still needs work)
- Config option `ip_range_denylist` to support refusing to send requests (typically federation) to specific IP ranges, typically RFC 1918, non-routable, testnet, etc addresses like Synapse for security.
- Support for creating rooms with custom room IDs like Maunium Synapse (`room_id` request body field to `/createRoom`)
- Assume well-knowns are broken if they exceed past 10000 characters.
- Basic validation/checks on user-specified room aliases and custom room ID creations
- Warn on unknown config options specified
- Add support for preventing certain room alias names and usernames using regex (via upstream MR) and extended to custom room IDs
- Revamp appservice registration to ruma's `Registration` type which fixes various appservice registration issues, including fixing crashing upon no URL specified (via upstream MR)
- URL preview support (via upstream MR) with various improvements
- Increased graceful shutdown timeout from a low 60 seconds to 180 seconds to avoid killing connections and let the remaining ones finish processing, and ask systemd for more time to shutdown if needed to prevent systemd's default [`TimeoutStopSec=`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.service.html#TimeoutStopSec=) of 90 seconds from killing conduwuit
- Bumped default max_concurrent_requests to 500
- Add support for the deprecated `user` identifier field for all `/login` requests
- Query parameter `?format=event|content` for returning either the room state event's content (default) for the full room state event on ` /_matrix/client/v3/rooms/{roomId}/state/{eventType}[/{stateKey}]` requests (see https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/1047)
- Add admin commands for banning (blocking) room IDs from our local users joining (admins are always allowed) and evicts all our local users from that room, in addition to bulk room banning support, as a moderation feature

[Matrix](https://matrix.org) is an open network for secure and decentralized
communication. Users from every Matrix homeserver can chat with users from all
other Matrix servers. You can even use bridges (also called Matrix appservices)

#### Can I try it out?
There are no public conduwuit homeservers available, however conduwuit is incredibly simple to install. It's just a binary, a config file, and a database path.
An official conduwuit server ran by me is available at transfem.dev ([element.transfem.dev](https://element.transfem.dev) / [cinny.transfem.dev](https://cinny.transfem.dev))
transfem.dev is a public homeserver that can be used, it is not a "test only homeserver". This means there are rules, so please read the rules: [https://transfem.dev/homeserver_rules.txt](https://transfem.dev/homeserver_rules.txt)

Matrix rooms, but not all features are supported and you might run into bugs
from time to time. conduwuit attempts to fix and improve the majority of upstream Conduit bugs
or UX issues that are taking too long to be resolved, or unnecessary Matrix or developer
politics halting simple things from being merged or fixed, and general inactivity.
from time to time.
There are still a few nice to have features missing that some users may notice:

#### What's different about your fork than upstream Conduit?
See [DIFFERENCES.md](DIFFERENCES.md)
#### Why does this fork exist? Why don't you contribute back upstream?
I have tried, but:
- unnecessary Matrix / developer politics
- bikeshedding unnecessary or irrelevant things in MRs
- disagreement with how the upstream project is maintained including the codebase
- upstream maintainer inactivity
- questionable community members
- lack of MR reviews or issue triaging and no upstream maintainer interest in receiving help
- severe bugs, including denial of service and other likely vulnerabilities, not being merged due to things mentioned above
- no interest in adding co-maintainers to help out
are what are keeping me from contributing. If the state of the upstream project improves, I'm
willing to start contributing again. As is, I think if folks want a more polished and well-kept version of Conduit, conduwuit exists for that.
#### How can I deploy my own?
- Simple install (this was tested the most): [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md)
- Nix/NixOS: [nix/README.md](nix/README.md)
If you want to connect an Appservice to Conduit, take a look at [APPSERVICES.md](APPSERVICES.md).

to other users

Information about downloading and deploying the Debian package. This may also be referenced for other `apt`-based distros such as Ubuntu.
Information about downloading, building and deploying the Debian package, see
the "Installing Conduit" section in [DEPLOY.md](../DEPLOY.md).
All following sections until "Setting up the Reverse Proxy" be ignored because
this is handled automatically by the packaging.
### Installation
Configuration
-------------
It is recommended to see the [generic deployment guide](../deploying/generic.md) for further information if needed as usage of the Debian package is generally related.
When installed, Debconf generates the configuration of the homeserver
(host)name, the address and port it listens on. This configuration ends up in
`/etc/matrix-conduit/conduit.toml`.
### Configuration
You can tweak more detailed settings by uncommenting and setting the variables
in `/etc/matrix-conduit/conduit.toml`. This involves settings such as the maximum
file size for download/upload, enabling federation, etc.
When installed, the example config is placed at `/etc/conduwuit/conduwuit.toml` as the default config. At the minimum, you will need to change your `server_name` here.
Running
-------
You can tweak more detailed settings by uncommenting and setting the config options
in `/etc/conduwuit/conduwuit.toml`.
The package uses the `matrix-conduit.service` systemd unit file to start and
stop Conduit. It loads the configuration file mentioned above to set up the
environment before running the server.
### Running
This package assumes by default that Conduit will be placed behind a reverse
proxy such as Apache or nginx. This default deployment entails just listening
on `127.0.0.1` and the free port `6167` and is reachable via a client using the URL
<http://localhost:6167>.
The package uses the [`conduwuit.service`](../configuration/examples.md#example-systemd-unit-file) systemd unit file to start and stop conduwuit. The binary is installed at `/usr/sbin/conduwuit`.
At a later stage this packaging may support also setting up TLS and running
stand-alone. In this case, however, you need to set up some certificates and
renewal, for it to work properly.
This package assumes by default that conduwuit will be placed behind a reverse proxy. The default config options apply (listening on `localhost` and TCP port `6167`). Matrix federation requires a valid domain name and TLS, so you will need to set up TLS certificates and renewal for it to work properly if you intend to federate.
Consult various online documentation and guides on setting up a reverse proxy and TLS. Caddy is documented at the [generic deployment guide](../deploying/generic.md#setting-up-the-reverse-proxy) as it's the easiest and most user friendly.

> **Note:** To run and use Conduit you should probably use it with a Domain or Subdomain behind a reverse proxy (like Nginx, Traefik, Apache, ...) with a Lets Encrypt certificate.
## Docker
To run conduwuit with Docker you can either build the image yourself or pull it from a registry.
### Use a registry
OCI images for conduwuit are available in the registries listed below. We recommend using the image tagged as `latest` from GitLab's own registry.
The Dockerfile provided by Conduit has two stages, each of which creates an image.
1.**Builder:** Builds the binary from local context or by cloning a git revision from the official repository.
2.**Runner:** Copies the built binary from **Builder** and sets up the runtime environment, like creating a volume to persist the database and applying the correct permissions.
To build the image you can use the following command
```bash
docker build --tag girlbossceo/conduwuit:main .
```
which also will tag the resulting image as `girlbossceo/conduwuit:main`.
### Run
When you have the image you can simply run it with
```bash
docker run -d -p 8448:6167 \
-v db:/var/lib/matrix-conduit/ \
-e CONDUIT_SERVER_NAME="your.server.name"\
-e CONDUIT_DATABASE_BACKEND="rocksdb"\
-e CONDUIT_ALLOW_REGISTRATION=true\
-e CONDUIT_ALLOW_FEDERATION=true\
-e CONDUIT_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE="20000000"\
-e CONDUIT_TRUSTED_SERVERS="[\"matrix.org\"]"\
-e CONDUIT_MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS="500"\
-e CONDUIT_LOG="warn,ruma_state_res=warn"\
--name conduit <link>
```
or you can use [docker-compose](#docker-compose).
The `-d` flag lets the container run in detached mode. You now need to supply a `conduit.toml` config file, an example can be found [here](../conduit-example.toml).
You can pass in different env vars to change config values on the fly. You can even configure Conduit completely by using env vars, but for that you need
to pass `-e CONDUIT_CONFIG=""` into your container. For an overview of possible values, please take a look at the `docker-compose.yml` file.
If you just want to test Conduit for a short time, you can use the `--rm` flag, which will clean up everything related to your container after you stop it.
### Docker-compose
If the `docker run` command is not for you or your setup, you can also use one of the provided `docker-compose` files.
Depending on your proxy setup, you can use one of the following files;
- If you already have a `traefik` instance set up, use [`docker-compose.for-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.for-traefik.yml)
- If you don't have a `traefik` instance set up (or any other reverse proxy), use [`docker-compose.with-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.with-traefik.yml)
- For any other reverse proxy, use [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml)
When picking the traefik-related compose file, rename it so it matches `docker-compose.yml`, and
rename the override file to `docker-compose.override.yml`. Edit the latter with the values you want
for your server.
Additional info about deploying Conduit can be found [here](../DEPLOY.md).
### Build
To build the Conduit image with docker-compose, you first need to open and modify the `docker-compose.yml` file. There you need to comment the `image:` option and uncomment the `build:` option. Then call docker-compose with:
```bash
docker-compose up
```
This will also start the container right afterwards, so if want it to run in detached mode, you also should use the `-d` flag.
### Run
If you already have built the image or want to use one from the registries, you can just start the container and everything else in the compose file in detached mode with:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
> **Note:** Don't forget to modify and adjust the compose file to your needs.
### Use Traefik as Proxy
As a container user, you probably know about Traefik. It is a easy to use reverse proxy for making
containerized app and services available through the web. With the two provided files,
[`docker-compose.with-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.with-traefik.yml)) and [`docker-compose.override.yml`](docker-compose.override.yml) from the repository and remove `.for-traefik` (or `.with-traefik`) from the filename.
2. Open both files and modify/adjust them to your needs. Meaning, change the `CONDUIT_SERVER_NAME` and the volume host mappings according to your needs.
3. Create the `conduit.toml` config file, an example can be found [here](../conduit-example.toml), or set `CONDUIT_CONFIG=""` and configure Conduit per env vars.
4. Uncomment the `element-web` service if you want to host your own Element Web Client and create a `element_config.json`.
5. Create the files needed by the `well-known` service.
-`./nginx/matrix.conf` (relative to the compose file, you can change this, but then also need to change the volume mapping)
7. Connect to your homeserver with your preferred client and create a user. You should do this immediately after starting Conduit, because the first created user is the admin.
## Voice communication
In order to make or receive calls, a TURN server is required. Conduit suggests using [Coturn](https://github.com/coturn/coturn) for this purpose, which is also available as a Docker image. Before proceeding with the software installation, it is essential to have the necessary configurations in place.
### Configuration
Create a configuration file called `coturn.conf` containing:
```conf
use-auth-secret
static-auth-secret=<a secret key>
realm=<your server domain>
```
A common way to generate a suitable alphanumeric secret key is by using `pwgen -s 64 1`.
These same values need to be set in conduit. You can either modify conduit.toml to include these lines:
```
turn_uris = ["turn:<your server domain>?transport=udp", "turn:<your server domain>?transport=tcp"]
turn_secret = "<secret key from coturn configuration>"
```
or append the following to the docker environment variables dependig on which configuration method you used earlier:
```yml
CONDUIT_TURN_URIS: '["turn:<your server domain>?transport=udp", "turn:<your server domain>?transport=tcp"]'
CONDUIT_TURN_SECRET: "<secret key from coturn configuration>"
```
Restart Conduit to apply these changes.
### Run
Run the [Coturn](https://hub.docker.com/r/coturn/coturn) image using
```bash
docker run -d --network=host -v $(pwd)/coturn.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf coturn/coturn
```
or docker-compose. For the latter, paste the following section into a file called `docker-compose.yml`
and run `docker-compose up -d` in the same directory.
```yml
version: 3
services:
turn:
container_name: coturn-server
image: docker.io/coturn/coturn
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: "host"
volumes:
- ./coturn.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf
```
To understand why the host networking mode is used and explore alternative configuration options, please visit the following link: https://github.com/coturn/coturn/blob/master/docker/coturn/README.md.
For security recommendations see Synapse's [Coturn documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/setup/turn/coturn.md#configuration).
If you run into any problems while setting up an Appservice: ask us in [#conduwuit:puppygock.gay](https://matrix.to/#/#conduwuit:puppygock.gay) or [open an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit/issues/new).
## Set up the appservice - general instructions
Follow whatever instructions are given by the appservice. This usually includes
downloading, changing its config (setting domain, homeserver url, port etc.)
and later starting it.
At some point the appservice guide should ask you to add a registration yaml
file to the homeserver. In Synapse you would do this by adding the path to the
homeserver.yaml, but in conduwuit you can do this from within Matrix:
First, go into the `#admins` room of your homeserver. The first person that
registered on the homeserver automatically joins it. Then send a message into
the room like this:
!admin appservices register
```
paste
the
contents
of
the
yaml
registration
here
```
You can confirm it worked by sending a message like this:
`!admin appservices list`
The server bot should answer with `Appservices (1): your-bridge`
Then you are done. conduwuit will send messages to the appservices and the
appservice can send requests to the homeserver. You don't need to restart
conduwuit, but if it doesn't work, restarting while the appservice is running
could help.
## Appservice-specific instructions
### Remove an appservice
To remove an appservice go to your admin room and execute
`!admin appservices unregister <name>`
where `<name>` one of the output of `appservices list`.
Currently conduwuit is only on the Arch User Repository (AUR).
The conduwuit AUR packages are community maintained and are not maintained by conduwuit development team, but the AUR package maintainers are in the Matrix room. Please attempt to verify your AUR package's PKGBUILD file looks fine before asking for support.
When you have the image you can simply run it with
```bash
docker run -d -p 8448:6167 \
-v db:/var/lib/conduwuit/ \
-e CONDUWUIT_SERVER_NAME="your.server.name"\
-e CONDUWUIT_DATABASE_BACKEND="rocksdb"\
-e CONDUWUIT_ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false\
--name conduit <link>
```
or you can use [docker compose](#docker-compose).
The `-d` flag lets the container run in detached mode. You may supply an optional `conduwuit.toml` config file, the example config can be found [here](../configuration/examples.md).
You can pass in different env vars to change config values on the fly. You can even configure conduwuit completely by using env vars. For an overview of possible
values, please take a look at the [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml) file.
If you just want to test conduwuit for a short time, you can use the `--rm` flag, which will clean up everything related to your container after you stop it.
### Docker-compose
If the `docker run` command is not for you or your setup, you can also use one of the provided `docker-compose` files.
Depending on your proxy setup, you can use one of the following files;
- If you already have a `traefik` instance set up, use [`docker-compose.for-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.for-traefik.yml)
- If you don't have a `traefik` instance set up and would like to use it, use [`docker-compose.with-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.with-traefik.yml)
- If you want a setup that works out of the box with `caddy-docker-proxy`, use [`docker-compose.with-caddy.yml`](docker-compose.with-caddy.yml) and replace all `example.com` placeholders with your own domain
- For any other reverse proxy, use [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml)
When picking the traefik-related compose file, rename it so it matches `docker-compose.yml`, and
rename the override file to `docker-compose.override.yml`. Edit the latter with the values you want
for your server.
When picking the `caddy-docker-proxy` compose file, it's important to first create the `caddy` network before spinning up the containers:
```bash
docker network create caddy
```
After that, you can rename it so it matches `docker-compose.yml` and spin up the containers!
Additional info about deploying conduwuit can be found [here](generic.md).
### Build
To build the conduwuit image with docker-compose, you first need to open and modify the `docker-compose.yml` file. There you need to comment the `image:` option and uncomment the `build:` option. Then call docker compose with:
```bash
docker compose up
```
This will also start the container right afterwards, so if want it to run in detached mode, you also should use the `-d` flag.
### Run
If you already have built the image or want to use one from the registries, you can just start the container and everything else in the compose file in detached mode with:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
> **Note:** Don't forget to modify and adjust the compose file to your needs.
### Use Traefik as Proxy
As a container user, you probably know about Traefik. It is a easy to use reverse proxy for making
containerized app and services available through the web. With the two provided files,

## Installing conduwuit
You may simply download the binary that fits your machine. Run `uname -m` to see what you need.
Prebuilt binaries can be downloaded from the latest tagged release [here](https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit/releases/latest).
The latest tagged release also includes the Debian packages.
Alternatively, you may compile the binary yourself. We recommend using [Lix](https://lix.systems) to build conduwuit as this has the most guaranteed
reproducibiltiy and easiest to get a build environment and output going.
Otherwise, follow standard Rust project build guides (installing git and cloning the repo, getting the Rust toolchain via rustup, installing LLVM toolchain + libclang, installing liburing for io_uring and RocksDB, etc).
## Adding a conduwuit user
While conduwuit can run as any user it is better to use dedicated users for different services. This also allows
you to make sure that the file permissions are correctly set up.
In Debian or Fedora/RHEL, you can use this command to create a conduwuit user:
conduwuit uses the ports 443 and 8448 both of which need to be open in the firewall.
If conduwuit runs behind a router or in a container and has a different public IP address than the host system these public ports need to be forwarded directly or indirectly to the port mentioned in the config.
## Setting up a systemd service
The systemd unit for conduwuit can be found [here](../configuration/examples.md#example-systemd-unit-file). You may need to change the `ExecStart=` path to where you placed the conduwuit binary.
## Creating the conduwuit configuration file
Now we need to create the conduwuit's config file in `/etc/conduwuit/conduwuit.toml`. The example config can be found at [conduwuit-example.toml](../configuration/examples.md).**Please take a moment to read it. You need to change at least the server name.**
RocksDB is the only supported database backend.
## Setting the correct file permissions
If you are using a dedicated user for conduwuit, you will need to allow it to read the config. To do that you can run this:
```bash
sudo chown -R root:root /etc/conduwuit
sudo chmod -R 755 /etc/conduwuit
```
If you use the default database path you also need to run this:
Refer to the documentation or various guides online of your chosen reverse proxy software. A [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/) example will be provided as this is the recommended reverse proxy for new users and is very trivial to use (handles TLS, reverse proxy headers, etc transparently with proper defaults).
Lighttpd is not supported as it seems to mess with the `X-Matrix` Authorization header, making federation non-functional. If using Apache, you need to use `nocanon` to prevent this.
### Caddy
Create `/etc/caddy/conf.d/conduwuit_caddyfile` and enter this (substitute for your server name).
```caddy
your.server.name, your.server.name:8448{
# TCP
reverse_proxy127.0.0.1:6167
# UNIX socket
#reverse_proxy unix//run/conduwuit/conduwuit.sock
}
```
That's it! Just start and enable the service and you're set.
```bash
sudo systemctl enable --now caddy
```
## You're done
Now you can start conduwuit with:
```bash
sudo systemctl start conduwuit
```
Set it to start automatically when your system boots with:
```bash
sudo systemctl enable conduwuit
```
## How do I know it works?
You can open [a Matrix client](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients), enter your homeserver and try to register.
You can also use these commands as a quick health check (replace `your.server.name`).
When developing in debug-builds with the nightly toolchain, conduwuit is modular using dynamic libraries and various parts of the application are hot-reloadable while the server is running: http api handlers, admin commands, services, database, etc. These are all split up into individual workspace crates as seen in the `src/` directory. Changes to sourcecode in a crate rebuild that crate and subsequent crates depending on it. Reloading then occurs for the changed crates.
Release builds still produce static binaries which are unaffected. Rust's soundness guarantees are in full force. Thus you cannot hot-reload release binaries.
### Requirements
Currently, this development setup only works on x86_64 and aarch64 Linux glibc. [musl explicitly does not support hot reloadable libraries, and does not implement `dlclose`][2]. macOS does not fully support our usage of `RTLD_GLOBAL` possibly due to some thread-local issues. [This Rust issue][3] may be of relevance, specifically [this comment][4]. It may be possible to get it working on only very modern macOS versions such as at least Sonoma, as currently loading dylibs is supported, but not unloading them in our setup, and the cited comment mentions an Apple WWDC confirming there have been TLS changes to somewhat make this possible.
As mentioned above this requires the nightly toolchain. This is due to reliance on various Cargo.toml features that are only available on nightly, most specifically `RUSTFLAGS` in Cargo.toml. Some of the implementation could also be simpler based on other various nightly features. We hope lots of nightly features start making it out of nightly sooner as there have been dozens of very helpful features that have been stuck in nightly ("unstable") for at least 5+ years that would make this simpler. We encourage greater community consensus to move these features into stability.
This currently only works on x86_64/aarch64 Linux with a glibc C library. musl C library, macOS, and likely other host architectures are not supported (if other architectures work, feel free to let us know and/or make a PR updating this). This should work on GNU ld and lld (rust-lld) and gcc/clang, however if you happen to have linker issues it's recommended to try using `mold` or `gold` linkers, and please let us know in the [conduwuit Matrix room][7] the linker error and what linker solved this issue so we can figure out a solution. Ideally there should be minimal friction to using this, and in the future a build script (`build.rs`) may be suitable to making this easier to use if the capabilities allow us.
### Usage
As of 19 May 2024, the instructions for using this are:
0. Have patience. Don't hesitate to join the [conduwuit Matrix room][7] to receive help using this. As indicated by the various rustflags used and some of the interesting issues linked at the bottom, this is definitely not something the Rust ecosystem or toolchain is used to doing.
1. Install the nightly toolchain using rustup. You may need to use `rustup override set nightly` in your local conduwuit directory, or use `cargo +nightly` for all actions.
2. Uncomment `cargo-features` at the top level / root Cargo.toml
3. Scroll down to the `# Developer profile` section and uncomment ALL the rustflags for each dev profile and their respective packages.
4. In each workspace crate's Cargo.toml (everything under `src/*` AND `deps/rust-rocksdb/Cargo.toml`), uncomment the `dylib` crate type under `[lib]`.
5. Due to [this rpath issue][5], you must export the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable to your nightly Rust toolchain library directory. If using rustup (hopefully), use this: `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/`
6. Start the server. You can use `cargo +nightly run` for this along with the standard.
7. Make some changes where you need to.
8. In a separate terminal window in the same directory (or using a terminal multiplexer like tmux), run the *build* Cargo command `cargo +nightly build`. Cargo should only rebuild what was changed / what's necessary, so it should not be rebuilding all the crates.
9. In your conduwuit server terminal, hit/send `CTRL+C` signal. This will tell conduwuit to find which libraries need to be reloaded, and reloads them as necessary.
10. If there were no errors, it will tell you it successfully reloaded `#` modules, and your changes should now be visible. Repeat 7 - 9 as needed.
To shutdown conduwuit in this setup, hit/send `CTRL+\`. Normal builds still shutdown with `CTRL+C` as usual.
Steps 1 - 5 are the initial first-time steps for using this. To remove the hot reload setup, revert/comment all the Cargo.toml changes.
As mentioned in the requirements section, if you happen to have some linker issues, try using the `-fuse-ld=` rustflag and specify mold or gold in all the `rustflags` definitions in the top level Cargo.toml, and please let us know in the [conduwuit Matrix room][7] the problem. mold can be installed typically through your distro, and gold is provided by the binutils package.
It's possible a helper script can be made to do all of this, or most preferably a specially made build script (build.rs). `cargo watch` support will be implemented soon which will eliminate the need to manually run `cargo build` all together.
### Addendum
Conduit was inherited as a single crate without modularity or reloading in its design. Reasonable partitioning and abstraction allowed a split into several crates, though many circular dependencies had to be corrected. The resulting crates now form a directed graph as depicted in figures below. The interfacing between these crates is still extremely broad which is not mitigable.
Initially [hot_lib_reload][6] was investigated but found appropriate for a project designed with modularity through limited interfaces, not a large and complex existing codebase. Instead a bespoke solution built directly on [libloading][8] satisfied our constraints. This required relatively minimal modifications and zero maintenance burden compared to what would be required otherwise. The technical difference lies with relocation processing: we leverage global bindings (`RTLD_GLOBAL`) in a very intentional way. Most libraries and off-the-shelf module systems (such as [hot_lib_reload][6]) restrict themselves to local bindings (`RTLD_LOCAL`). This allows them to release software to multiple platforms with much greater consistency, but at the cost of burdening applications to explicitly manage these bindings. In our case with an optional feature for developers, we shrug any such requirement to enjoy the cost/benefit on platforms where global relocations are properly cooperative.
To make use of `RTLD_GLOBAL` the application has to be oriented as a directed acyclic graph. The primary rule is simple and illustrated in the figure below: **no crate is allowed to call a function or use a variable from a crate below it.**

When a symbol is referenced between crates they become bound: **crates cannot be unloaded until their calling crates are first unloaded.** Thus we start the reloading process from the crate which has no callers. There is a small problem though: the first crate is called by the base executable itself! This is solved by using an `RTLD_LOCAL` binding for just one link between the main executable and the first crate, freeing the executable from all modules as no global binding ever occurs between them.

Proper resource management is essential for reliable reloading to occur. This is a very basic ask in RAII-idiomatic Rust and the exposure to reloading hazards is remarkably low, generally stemming from poor patterns and practices. Unfortunately static analysis doesn't enforce reload-safety programmatically (though it could one day), for now hazards can be avoided by knowing a few basic do's and dont's:
1. Understand that code is memory. Just like one is forbidden from referencing free'd memory, one must not transfer control to free'd code. Exposure to this is primarily from two things:
- Callbacks, which this project makes very little use of.
- Async tasks, which are addressed below.
2. Tie all resources to a scope or object lifetime with greatest possible symmetry (locality). For our purposes this applies to code resources, which means async blocks and tokio tasks.
- **Never spawn a task without receiving and storing its JoinHandle**.
- **Always wait on join handles** before leaving a scope or in another cleanup function called by an owning scope.
3. Know any minor specific quirks documented in code or here:
- Don't use `tokio::spawn`, instead use our `Handle` in `core/server.rs`, which is reachable in most of the codebase via `services()` or other state. This is due to some bugs or assumptions made in tokio, as it happens in `unsafe {}` blocks, which are mitigated by circumventing some thread-local variables. Using runtime handles is good practice in any case.
The initial implementation PR is available [here][1].

### list of features, bug fixes, etc that conduwuit does that Conduit does not
- Concurrency support for individual homeserver key fetching for faster remote room joins and room joins that will error less frequently
- Send `Cache-Control` response header with `immutable` and 1 year cache length for all media requests (download and thumbnail) to instruct clients to cache media, and reduce server load from media requests that could be otherwise cached
- Add feature flags and config options to enable/build with zstd, brotli, and/or gzip HTTP body compression (response and request)
- Eliminate all usage of the thread-blocking `getaddrinfo(3)` call upon DNS queries, significantly improving federation latency/ping and cache DNS results (NXDOMAINs, successful queries, etc) using hickory-dns / hickory-resolver
- Enable HTTP/2 support on all requests
- Vastly improve RocksDB default settings to use new features that help with performance significantly, uses settings tailored to SSDs, various ways to tweak RocksDB, and a conduwuit setting to tell RocksDB to use settings that are tailored to HDDs or slow spinning rust storage or buggy filesystems.
- Implement database flush and cleanup conduwuit operations when using RocksDB
- Implement RocksDB write buffer corking and coalescing in database write-heavy areas
- Perform connection pooling and keepalives where necessary to significantly improve federation performance and latency
- Various config options to tweak connection pooling, request timeouts, connection timeouts, DNS timeouts and settings, etc with good defaults which also help huge with performance via reusing connections and retrying where needed
- Properly get and use the amount of parallelism / tokio workers
- Implement building conduwuit with jemalloc (which extends to the RocksDB jemalloc feature for maximum gains) or hardened_malloc light variant, and io_uring support, and produce CI builds with jemalloc and io_uring by default for performance (Nix doesn't seem to build [hardened_malloc-rs](https://github.com/girlbossceo/hardened_malloc-rs) properly)
- Add support for caching DNS results with hickory-dns / hickory-resolver in conduwuit (not a replacement for a proper resolver cache, but still far better than nothing), also properly falls back on TCP for UDP errors or if a SRV response is too large
- Add config option for using DNS over TCP, and config option for controlling A/AAAA record lookup strategy (e.g. don't query AAAA records if you don't have IPv6 connectivity)
- Overall significant database, Client-Server, and federation performance and latency improvements (check out the ping room leaderboards if you don't believe me :>)
- Add config options for RocksDB compression and bottommost compression, including choosing the algorithm and compression level
- Use [loole](https://github.com/mahdi-shojaee/loole) MPSC channels instead of tokio MPSC channels for huge performance boosts in sending channels (mainly relevant for federation) and presence channels
- Use `tracing`/`log`'s `release_max_level_info` feature to improve performance, build speeds, binary size, and CPU usage in release builds by avoid compiling debug/trace log level macros that users will generally never use (can be disabled with a build-time feature flag)
- Remove some unnecessary checks on EDU handling for incoming transactions, effectively speeding them up
- Simplify, dedupe, etc huge chunks of the codebase, including some that were unnecessary overhead, binary bloats, or preventing compiler/linker optimisations
- Add legacy Element client hack fixing password changes and deactivations on legacy Element Android/iOS due to usage of an unspecced `user` field for UIAA
- Raise and improve all the various request timeouts making some things like room joins and client bugs error less or none at all than they should, and make them all user configurable
- Add missing `reason` field to user ban events (`/ban`)
- Safer and cleaner shutdowns across incoming/outgoing requests (graceful shutdown) and the database
- Stop sending `make_join` requests on room joins if 15 servers respond with `M_UNSUPPORTED_ROOM_VERSION` or `M_INVALID_ROOM_VERSION`
- Stop sending `make_join` requests if 50 servers cannot provide `make_join` for us
- Respect *most* client parameters for `/media/` requests (`allow_redirect` still needs work)
- Return joined member count of rooms for push rules/conditions instead of a hardcoded value of 10
- Make `CONDUIT_CONFIG` optional, relevant for container users that configure only by environment variables and no longer need to set `CONDUIT_CONFIG` to an empty string.
- Allow HEAD and PATCH (MSC4138) HTTP requests in CORS for clients (despite not being explicity mentioned in Matrix spec, HTTP spec says all HEAD requests need to behave the same as GET requests, Synapse supports HEAD requests)
- Fix using conduwuit with flake-compat on NixOS
- Resolve and remove some "features" from upstream that result in concurrency hazards, exponential backoff issues, or arbitrary performance limiters
- Find more servers for outbound federation `/hierarchy` requests instead of just the room ID server name
- Support for suggesting servers to join through at `/_matrix/client/v3/directory/room/{roomAlias}`
- Support for suggesting servers to join through us at `/_matrix/federation/v1/query/directory`
- Misc edge-case search fixes (e.g. potentially missing some events)
- Misc `/sync` fixes (e.g. returning unnecessary data or incorrect/invalid responses)
- Add `replaces_state` and `prev_sender` in `unsigned` for state event changes which primarily makes Element's "See history" button on a state event functional
- Fix Conduit not allowing incoming federation requests for various world readable rooms
- Fix Conduit not respecting the client-requested file name on media requests
- Prevent sending junk / non-membership events to `/send_join` and `/send_leave` endpoints
- Only allow the requested membership type on `/send_join` and `/send_leave` endpoints (e.g. don't allow leave memberships on join endpoints)
- Prevent state key impersonation on `/send_join` and `/send_leave` endpoints
- Validate `X-Matrix` origin and request body `"origin"` field on incoming transactions
- Explicitly define support for sliding sync at `/_matrix/client/versions` (`org.matrix.msc3575`)
- Fix seeing empty status messages on user presences
## Moderation
- (Also see [Admin Room](#admin-room) for all the admin commands pertaining to moderation, there's a lot!)
- Add support for room banning/blocking by ID using admin command
- Add support for serving `support` well-known from `[global.well_known]` (MSC1929) (`/.well-known/matrix/support`)
- Config option to forbid publishing rooms to the room directory (`lockdown_public_room_directory`) except for admins
- Admin commands to delete room aliases and unpublish rooms from our room directory
- For all [`/report`](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3roomsroomidreporteventid) requests: check if the reported event ID belongs to the reported room ID, raise report reasoning character limit to 750, fix broken formatting, make a small delayed random response per spec suggestion on privacy, and check if the sender user is in the reported room.
- Support blocking servers from downloading remote media from, returning a 404
- Don't allow `m.call.invite` events to be sent in public rooms (prevents calling the entire room)
- On new public room creations, only allow moderators to send `m.call.invite`, `org.matrix.msc3401.call`, and `org.matrix.msc3401.call.member` events to prevent unprivileged users from calling the entire room
- Add support for a "global ACLs" feature (`forbidden_remote_server_names`) that blocks inbound remote room invites, room joins by room ID on server name, room joins by room alias on server name, incoming federated joins, and incoming federated room directory requests. This is very helpful for blocking servers that are purely toxic/bad and serve no value in allowing our users to suffer from things like room invite spam or such. Please note that this is not a substitute for room ACLs.
- Add support for a config option to forbid our local users from sending federated room directory requests for (`forbidden_remote_room_directory_server_names`). Similar to above, useful for blocking servers that help prevent our users from wandering into bad areas of Matrix via room directories of those malicious servers.
- Add config option for auto remediating/deactivating local non-admin users who attempt to join bad/forbidden rooms (`auto_deactivate_banned_room_attempts`)
- Deactivating users will remove their profile picture, blurhash, display name, and leave all rooms by default just like Synapse and for additional privacy
- Reject some EDUs from ACL'd users such as read receipts and typing indicators
## Privacy/Security
- Add config option for device name federation with a privacy-friendly default (disabled)

- Generate passwords with 25 characters instead of 15
- Config option `ip_range_denylist` to support refusing to send requests (typically federation) to specific IP ranges, typically RFC 1918, non-routable, testnet, etc addresses like Synapse for security (note: this is not a guaranteed protection, and you should be using a firewall with zones if you want guaranteed protection as doing this on the application level is prone to bypasses).
- Config option to block non-admin users from sending room invites or receiving remote room invites. Admin users are still allowed.
- Config option to disable incoming, outgoing, and/or local presence and for timing out remote users
- Sanitise file names for the `Content-Disposition` header for all media requests (thumbnails, downloads, uploads)
- Media repository on handling `Content-Disposition` and `Content-Type` is fully spec compliant and secured
- Send secure default HTTP headers such as a strong restrictive CSP (see MSC4149), deny iframes, disable `X-XSS-Protection`, disable interest cohort in `Permission-Policy`, etc to mitigate any potential attack surface such as from untrusted media
## Administration/Logging
- Commandline argument to specify the path to a config file instead of relying on `CONDUIT_CONFIG`
- Revamped admin room infrastructure and commands
- Substantially clean up, improve, and fix logging (less noisy dead server logging, registration attempts, more useful troubleshooting logging, proper error propagation, etc)

- Explicit startup error if your configuration allows open registration without a token or such like Synapse with a way to bypass it if needed
- Replace the lightning bolt emoji option with support for setting any arbitrary text (e.g. another emoji) to suffix to all new user registrations, with a conduwuit default of "🏳️⚧️"
- Implement config option to auto join rooms upon registration
- Warn on unknown config options specified
- Add `/_conduwuit/server_version` route to return the version of conduwuit without relying on the federation API `/_matrix/federation/v1/version`

- Add support for listening on multiple TCP ports and multiple addresses
- **Opt-in** Sentry.io telemetry and metrics, mainly used for crash reporting
- Log the client IP on various requests such as registrations, banned room join attempts, logins, deactivations, federation transactions, etc
- Fix Conduit dropping some remote server federation response errors

- Startup check if conduwuit running in a container and is listening on 127.0.0.1 (generally containers are using NAT networking and 0.0.0.0 is the intended listening address)
- Add a panic catcher layer to return panic messages in HTTP responses if a panic occurs
- Add full compatibility support for SHA256 media file names instead of base64 file names to overcome filesystem file name length limitations (OS error file name too long) while still retaining upstream database compatibility

- [Add a community Code of Conduct for all conduwuit community spaces, primarily the Matrix space](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/conduwuit_coc.html)
conduwuit has moderation through admin room commands. "binary commands" (medium priority) and an admin API (low priority) is planned. Some moderation-related config options are available in the example config such as "global ACLs" and blocking media requests to certain servers. See the example config for the moderation config options under the "Moderation / Privacy / Security" section.
- managing room banning/blocking and user removal (`!admin rooms moderation`)
- managing user accounts (`!admin users`)
- fetching `/.well-known/matrix/support` from servers (`!admin federation`)
- blocking incoming federation for certain rooms (not the same as room banning) (`!admin federation`)
- deleting media (see [the media section](#media))
Any commands with `-list` in them will require a codeblock in the message with each object being newline delimited. An example of doing this is:
````
!admin rooms moderation ban-list-of-rooms
```
!roomid1:server.name
!roomid2:server.name
!roomid3:server.name
```
````
## Database
If using RocksDB, there's very little you need to do. Compaction is ran automatically based on various defined thresholds tuned for conduwuit to be high performance with the least I/O amplifcation or overhead. Manually running compaction is not recommended, or compaction via a timer. RocksDB is built with io_uring support via liburing for async read I/O.
Some RocksDB settings can be adjusted such as the compression method chosen. See the RocksDB section in the [example config](configuration/examples.md). btrfs users may benefit from disabling compression on RocksDB if CoW is in use.
RocksDB troubleshooting can be found [in the RocksDB section of troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md).
## Backups
Currently only RocksDB supports online backups. If you'd like to backup your database online without any downtime, see the `!admin server` command for the backup commands and the `database_backup_path` config options in the example config. Please note that the format of the database backup is not the exact same. This is unfortunately a bad design choice by Facebook as we are using the database backup engine API from RocksDB, however the data is still there and can still be joined together.
To restore a backup from an online RocksDB backup:
- shutdown conduwuit
- create a new directory for merging together the data
- in the online backup created, copy all `.sst` files in `$DATABASE_BACKUP_PATH/shared_checksum` to your new directory
- trim all the strings so instead of `######_sxxxxxxxxx.sst`, it reads `######.sst`. A way of doing this with sed and bash is `for file in *.sst; do mv "$file" "$(echo "$file" | sed 's/_s.*/.sst/')"; done`
- copy all the files in `$DATABASE_BACKUP_PATH/1` (or the latest backup number if you have multiple) to your new directory
- set your `database_path` config option to your new directory, or replace your old one with the new one you crafted
- start up conduwuit again and it should open as normal
If you'd like to do an offline backup, shutdown conduwuit and copy your `database_path` directory elsewhere. This can be restored with no modifications needed.
Backing up media is also just copying the `media/` directory from your database directory.
## Media
Media still needs various work, however conduwuit implements media deletion via:
- MXC URI or Event ID (unencrypted and attempts to find the MXC URI in the event)
- Delete list of MXC URIs
- Delete remote media in the past `N` seconds/minutes via filesystem metadata on the file created time (`btime`) or file modified time (`mtime`)
See the `!admin media` command for further information. All media in conduwuit is stored at `$DATABASE_DIR/media`. This will be configurable soon.
If you are finding yourself needing extensive granular control over media, we recommend looking into [Matrix Media Repo](https://github.com/t2bot/matrix-media-repo). conduwuit intends to implement various utilities for media, but MMR is dedicated to extensive media management.
Built-in S3 support is also planned, but for now using a "S3 filesystem" on `media/` works. conduwuit also sends a `Cache-Control` header of 1 year and immutable for all media requests (download and thumbnail) to reduce unnecessary media requests from browsers, reduce bandwidth usage, and reduce load.
> Docker is extremely UX unfriendly. Because of this, a ton of issues or support is actually Docker support, not conduwuit support. We also cannot document the ever-growing list of Docker issues here.
>
> If you intend on asking for support and you are using Docker, **PLEASE** triple validate your issues are **NOT** because you have a misconfiguration in your Docker setup.
>
> If there are things like Compose file issues or Dockerhub image issues, those can still be mentioned as long as they're something we can fix.
## Rocksdb / database issues
#### Direct IO
Some filesystems may not like RocksDB using [Direct IO](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Direct-IO). Direct IO is for non-buffered I/O which improves conduwuit performance, but at least FUSE is a filesystem potentially known to not like this. See the [example config](configuration/examples.md) for disabling it if needed. Issues from Direct IO on unsupported filesystems are usually shown as startup errors.
#### Database corruption
If your database is corrupted *and* is failing to start (e.g. checksum mismatch), it may be recoverable but careful steps must be taken, and there is no guarantee it may be recoverable.
The first thing that can be done is launching conduwuit with the `rocksdb_repair` config option set to true. This will tell RocksDB to attempt to repair itself at launch. If this does not work, disable the option and continue reading.
RocksDB has the following recovery modes:
-`TolerateCorruptedTailRecords`
-`AbsoluteConsistency`
-`PointInTime`
-`SkipAnyCorruptedRecord`
By default, conduwuit uses `TolerateCorruptedTailRecords` as generally these may be due to bad federation and we can re-fetch the correct data over federation. The RocksDB default is `PointInTime` which will attempt to restore a "snapshot" of the data when it was last known to be good. This data can be either a few seconds old, or multiple minutes prior. `PointInTime` may not be suitable for default usage due to clients and servers possibly not being able to handle sudden "backwards time travels", and `AbsoluteConsistency` may be too strict.
`AbsoluteConsistency` will fail to start the database if any sign of corruption is detected. `SkipAnyCorruptedRecord` will skip all forms of corruption unless it forbids the database from opening (e.g. too severe). Usage of `SkipAnyCorruptedRecord` voids any support as this may cause more damage and/or leave your database in a permanently inconsistent state, but it may do something if `PointInTime` does not work as a last ditch effort.
With this in mind:
- First start conduwuit with the `PointInTime` recovery method. See the [example config](configuration/examples.md) for how to do this using `rocksdb_recovery_mode`
- If your database successfully opens, clients are recommended to clear their client cache to account for the rollback
- Leave your conduwuit running in `PointInTime` for at least 30-60 minutes so as much possible corruption is restored
- If all goes will, you should be able to restore back to using `TolerateCorruptedTailRecords` and you have successfully recovered your database
## Media
## Debugging
Note that users should not really be debugging things. If you find yourself debugging and find the issue, please let us know and/or how we can fix it. Various debug commands can be found in `!admin debug`.
#### Debug/Trace log level
conduwuit builds without debug or trace log levels by default for at least performance reasons. This may change in the future and/or binaries providing such configurations may be provided. If you need to access debug/trace log levels, you will need to build without the `release_max_log_level` feature.
#### Changing log level dynamically
conduwuit supports changing the tracing log environment filter on-the-fly using the admin command `!admin debug change-log-level`. This accepts a string **without quotes** the same format as the `log` config option.
#### Pinging servers
conduwuit can ping other servers using `!admin debug ping`. This takes a server name and goes through the server discovery process and queries `/_matrix/federation/v1/version`. Errors are outputted.
#### Allocator memory stats
When using jemalloc with jemallocator's `stats` feature, you can see conduwuit's jemalloc memory stats by using `!admin debug memory-stats`
In order to make or receive calls, a TURN server is required. conduwuit suggests using [Coturn](https://github.com/coturn/coturn) for this purpose, which is also available as a Docker image.
### Configuration
Create a configuration file called `coturn.conf` containing:
```conf
use-auth-secret
static-auth-secret=<a secret key>
realm=<your server domain>
```
A common way to generate a suitable alphanumeric secret key is by using `pwgen -s 64 1`.
These same values need to be set in conduwuit. See the [example config](configuration/examples.md) in the TURN section for configuring these and restart conduwuit after.
### Run
Run the [Coturn](https://hub.docker.com/r/coturn/coturn) image using
```bash
docker run -d --network=host -v $(pwd)/coturn.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf coturn/coturn
```
or docker-compose. For the latter, paste the following section into a file called `docker-compose.yml`
and run `docker compose up -d` in the same directory.
```yml
version: 3
services:
turn:
container_name: coturn-server
image: docker.io/coturn/coturn
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: "host"
volumes:
- ./coturn.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf
```
To understand why the host networking mode is used and explore alternative configuration options, please visit [Coturn's Docker documentation](https://github.com/coturn/coturn/blob/master/docker/coturn/README.md).
For security recommendations see Synapse's [Coturn documentation](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/turn-howto.html).
