We use a script called "Are We Synapse Yet" which checks Sytest compliance rates. Sytest is a black-box homeserver
test rig with around 900 tests. The script works out how many of these tests are passing on Dendrite and it
updates with CI. As of January 2023, we have 100% server-server parity with Synapse, and the client-server parity is at 93% , though check
CI for the latest numbers. In practice, this means you can communicate locally and via federation with Synapse

grep -Ev 'relayapi|postgres|setup/mscs' sytest.cov > final.cov
go tool cover -func=final.cov
```
A total value can then be calculated using:
## Getting coverage from Complement
Getting the coverage for Complement runs is a bit more involved.
First you'll need a docker image compatible with Complement, one can be built using
```bash
cat coverage.txt | awk -F '\t+' '{x = x + $3} END {print x/NR}'
docker build -t complement-dendrite -f build/scripts/Complement.Dockerfile .
```
from within the Dendrite repository.
Clone complement to a directory of your liking:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/complement.git
cd complement
```
Next we'll need a script to execute after a test finishes, create a new file `posttest.sh`, make the file executable (`chmod +x posttest.sh`)
and add the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
We currently do not have a way to combine Sytest/Complement/Unit Tests into a single coverage report.
mkdir -p /tmp/Complement/logs/$2/$1/
docker cp $1:/tmp/covdatafiles/. /tmp/Complement/logs/$2/$1/
```
This will copy the `covdatafiles` files from each container to something like
`/tmp/Complement/logs/TestLogin/94f9c428de95779d2b62a3ccd8eab9d5ddcf65cc259a40ece06bdc61687ffed3/`. (`$1` is the containerID, `$2` the test name)
Now that we have set up everything we need, we can finally execute Complement:
```bash
COMPLEMENT_BASE_IMAGE=complement-dendrite \
COMPLEMENT_SHARE_ENV_PREFIX=COMPLEMENT_DENDRITE_ \
COMPLEMENT_DENDRITE_COVER=1 \
COMPLEMENT_POST_TEST_SCRIPT=$(pwd)/posttest.sh \
go test -tags dendrite_blacklist ./tests/... -count=1 -v -timeout=30m -failfast=false
```
Once this is done, you can copy the resulting `covdatafiles` files to your Dendrite repository for the next step.
```bash
cp -pr /tmp/Complement/logs PathToYourDendriteRepository
```
You can also run the following to get the coverage for Complement runs alone:
```bash
go tool covdata func -i="$(find /tmp/Complement -name 'covmeta*' -type f -exec dirname {} \; | uniq | paste -s -d ',' -)"
```
## Combining the results of (almost) all runs
Now that we have all our `covdatafiles` files within the Dendrite repository, you can now execute the following command, to get the coverage
overall (excluding unit tests):
```bash
go tool covdata func -i="$(find -name 'covmeta*' -type f -exec dirname {} \; | uniq | paste -s -d ',' -)"
```

### Manually Setting up SyTest
**We advise AGAINST using manual SyTest setups.**
If you don't want to use the Docker image, you can also run SyTest by hand. Make

`dendrite` checkout.)
```sh
git clone -b develop https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest
cd sytest
./install-deps.pl
```
Set up the database:
```sh
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER dendrite PASSWORD 'itsasecret'"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER USER dendrite CREATEDB"
for i in dendrite0 dendrite1 sytest_template; do sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE $i OWNER dendrite;"; done

args:
user: dendrite
password: itsasecret
database: dendrite1
host: 127.0.0.1
sslmode: disable
type: pg
EOF
```
Run the tests:
```sh
POSTGRES=1 ./run-tests.pl -I Dendrite::Monolith -d ../dendrite/bin -W ../dendrite/sytest-whitelist -O tap --all | tee results.tap
```
where `tee` lets you see the results while they're being piped to the file, and
`POSTGRES=1` enables testing with PostgeSQL. If the `POSTGRES` environment
variable is not set or is set to 0, SyTest will fall back to SQLite 3. For more
flags and options, see <https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest#running>.
Once the tests are complete, run the helper script to see if you need to add
any newly passing test names to `sytest-whitelist` in the project's root
directory:
```sh
../dendrite/show-expected-fail-tests.sh results.tap ../dendrite/sytest-whitelist ../dendrite/sytest-blacklist
```
If the script prints nothing/exits with 0, then you're good to go.

# OpenTracing
Dendrite extensively uses the [opentracing.io](http://opentracing.io) framework
to trace work across the different logical components.
At its most basic opentracing tracks "spans" of work; recording start and end
times as well as any parent span that caused the piece of work.
A typical example would be a new span being created on an incoming request that
finishes when the response is sent. When the code needs to hit out to a
different component a new span is created with the initial span as its parent.
This would end up looking roughly like:
```
Received request Sent response
|<───────────────────────────────────────>|
|<────────────────────>|
RPC call RPC call returns
```
This is useful to see where the time is being spent processing a request on a
component. However, opentracing allows tracking of spans across components. This
makes it possible to see exactly what work goes into processing a request:
```
Component 1 |<─────────────────── HTTP ────────────────────>|
|<──────────────── RPC ─────────────────>|
Component 2 |<─ SQL ─>| |<── RPC ───>|
Component 3 |<─ SQL ─>|
```
This is achieved by serializing span information during all communication
between components. For HTTP requests, this is achieved by the sender
serializing the span into a HTTP header, and the receiver deserializing the span
on receipt. (Generally a new span is then immediately created with the
deserialized span as the parent).
A collection of spans that are related is called a trace.
Spans are passed through the code via contexts, rather than manually. It is
therefore important that all spans that are created are immediately added to the
current context. Thankfully the opentracing library gives helper functions for
doing this:
```golang
span, ctx := opentracing.StartSpanFromContext(ctx, spanName)
defer span.Finish()
```
This will create a new span, adding any span already in `ctx` as a parent to the
new span.
Adding Information
------------------
Opentracing allows adding information to a trace via three mechanisms:
- "tags" ─ A span can be tagged with a key/value pair. This is typically
information that relates to the span, e.g. for spans created for incoming HTTP
requests could include the request path and response codes as tags, spans for
SQL could include the query being executed.
- "logs" ─ Key/value pairs can be looged at a particular instance in a trace.
This can be useful to log e.g. any errors that happen.
- "baggage" ─ Arbitrary key/value pairs can be added to a span to which all
child spans have access. Baggage isn't saved and so isn't available when
inspecting the traces, but can be used to add context to logs or tags in child
spans.
See
[specification.md](https://github.com/opentracing/specification/blob/master/specification.md)
for some of the common tags and log fields used.
Span Relationships
------------------
Spans can be related to each other. The most common relation is `childOf`, which
indicates the child span somehow depends on the parent span ─ typically the
parent span cannot complete until all child spans are completed.
A second relation type is `followsFrom`, where the parent has no dependence on
the child span. This usually indicates some sort of fire and forget behaviour,
e.g. adding a message to a pipeline or inserting into a kafka topic.
Jaeger
------
Opentracing is just a framework. We use
[jaeger](https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger) as the actual implementation.
Jaeger is responsible for recording, sending and saving traces, as well as
giving a UI for viewing and interacting with traces.
To enable jaeger a `Tracer` object must be instansiated from the config (as well
as having a jaeger server running somewhere, usually locally). A `Tracer` does
several things:
- Decides which traces to save and send to the server. There are multiple
schemes for doing this, with a simple example being to save a certain fraction
of traces.
- Communicating with the jaeger backend. If not explicitly specified uses the
default port on localhost.
- Associates a service name to all spans created by the tracer. This service
name equates to a logical component, e.g. spans created by clientapi will have
a different service name than ones created by the syncapi. Database access
will also typically use a different service name.
This means that there is a tracer per service name/component.

# OpenTracing Setup
Dendrite uses [Jaeger](https://www.jaegertracing.io/) for tracing between microservices.
Tracing shows the nesting of logical spans which provides visibility on how the microservices interact.
This document explains how to set up Jaeger locally on a single machine.
## Set up the Jaeger backend
The [easiest way](https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.18/getting-started/) is to use the all-in-one Docker image:
```
$ docker run -d --name jaeger \
-e COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HTTP_PORT=9411 \
-p 5775:5775/udp \
-p 6831:6831/udp \
-p 6832:6832/udp \
-p 5778:5778 \
-p 16686:16686 \
-p 14268:14268 \
-p 14250:14250 \
-p 9411:9411 \
jaegertracing/all-in-one:1.18
```
## Configuring Dendrite to talk to Jaeger
Modify your config to look like: (this will send every single span to Jaeger which will be slow on large instances, but for local testing it's fine)
```
tracing:
enabled: true
jaeger:
serviceName: "dendrite"
disabled: false
rpc_metrics: true
tags: []
sampler:
type: const
param: 1
```
then run the monolith server:
```
./dendrite --tls-cert server.crt --tls-key server.key --config dendrite.yaml
```
## Checking traces
Visit <http://localhost:16686> to see traces under `DendriteMonolith`.

## Modes
Dendrite consists of several components, each responsible for a different aspect of the Matrix protocol.
Users can run Dendrite in one of two modes which dictate how these components are executed and communicate.
* **Monolith mode** runs all components in a single process. Components communicate through an internal NATS
server with generally low overhead. This mode dramatically simplifies deployment complexity and offers the
best balance between performance and resource usage for low-to-mid volume deployments.
## Databases
## Database
Dendrite can run with either a PostgreSQL or a SQLite backend. There are considerable tradeoffs
to consider:
* **PostgreSQL**: Needs to run separately to Dendrite, needs to be installed and configured separately
and and will use more resources over all, but will be **considerably faster** than SQLite. PostgreSQL

# Starting the monolith
Once you have completed all of the preparation and installation steps,
you can start your Dendrite monolith deployment by starting `dendrite`:
```bash
./dendrite -config /path/to/dendrite.yaml
```
By default, Dendrite will listen HTTP on port 8008. If you want to change the addresses
or ports that Dendrite listens on, you can use the `-http-bind-address` and
`-https-bind-address` command line arguments:
```bash
./dendrite -config /path/to/dendrite.yaml \
-http-bind-address 1.2.3.4:12345 \
-https-bind-address 1.2.3.4:54321
```
## Running under systemd
A common deployment pattern is to run the monolith under systemd. For this, you
will need to create a service unit file. An example service unit file is available
in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/docs/systemd/monolith-example.service).
Once you have installed the service unit, you can notify systemd, enable and start
the service:
```bash
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable dendrite
systemctl start dendrite
journalctl -fu dendrite
```

# Installing Dendrite using Docker Compose
Dendrite provides an [example](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/build/docker/docker-compose.yml)
Docker compose file, which needs some preparation to start successfully.
Please note that this compose file only has Postgres as a dependency, and you need to configure
a [reverse proxy](../planning#reverse-proxy).
## Preparations
### Generate a private key
First we'll generate private key, which is used to sign events, the following will create one in `./config`:
```bash
mkdir -p ./config
docker run --rm --entrypoint="/usr/bin/generate-keys" \
-v $(pwd)/config:/mnt \
matrixdotorg/dendrite-monolith:latest \
-private-key /mnt/matrix_key.pem
```
(**NOTE**: This only needs to be executed **once**, as you otherwise overwrite the key)
### Generate a config
Similar to the command above, we can generate a config to be used, which will use the correct paths
as specified in the example docker-compose file. Change `server` to your domain and `db` according to your changes
to the docker-compose file (`services.postgres.environment` values):
```bash
mkdir -p ./config
docker run --rm --entrypoint="/bin/sh" \
-v $(pwd)/config:/mnt \
matrixdotorg/dendrite-monolith:latest \
-c "/usr/bin/generate-config \
-dir /var/dendrite/ \
-db postgres://dendrite:itsasecret@postgres/dendrite?sslmode=disable \
-server YourDomainHere > /mnt/dendrite.yaml"
```
You can then change `config/dendrite.yaml` to your liking.
## Starting Dendrite
Once you're done changing the config, you can now start up Dendrite with
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up
```

# Installing Dendrite using Helm
To install Dendrite using the Helm chart, you first have to add the repository using the following commands:
```bash
helm repo add dendrite https://matrix-org.github.io/dendrite/
helm repo update
```
Next you'll need to create a `values.yaml` file and configure it to your liking. All possible values can be found
[here](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/helm/dendrite/values.yaml), but at least you need to configure
a `server_name`, otherwise the chart will complain about it:
```yaml
dendrite_config:
global:
server_name: "localhost"
```
If you are going to use an existing Postgres database, you'll also need to configure this connection:
```yaml
dendrite_config:
global:
database:
connection_string: "postgresql://PostgresUser:PostgresPassword@PostgresHostName/DendriteDatabaseName"
max_open_conns: 90
max_idle_conns: 5
conn_max_lifetime: -1
```
## Installing with PostgreSQL
The chart comes with a dependency on Postgres, which can be installed alongside Dendrite, this needs to be enabled in
the `values.yaml`:
```yaml
postgresql:
enabled: true # this installs Postgres
primary:
persistence:
size: 1Gi # defines the size for $PGDATA
dendrite_config:
global:
server_name: "localhost"
```
Using this option, the `database.connection_string` will be set for you automatically.

## Database connections
## Database connection using a global connection pool
Configuring database connections varies based on the [database configuration](database)
that you chose.
### Global connection pool
If you want to use a single connection pool to a single PostgreSQL database, then you must
uncomment and configure the `database` section within the `global` section:

these will override the `global` database configuration.
### Per-component connections (all other configurations)
If you are are using SQLite databases or separate PostgreSQL
databases per component, then you must instead configure the `database` sections under each
of the component blocks ,e.g. under the `app_service_api`, `federation_api`, `key_server`,
`media_api`, `mscs`, `relay_api`, `room_server`, `sync_api` and `user_api` blocks.
For example, with PostgreSQL:
```yaml
room_server:
# ...
database:
connection_string: postgres://user:pass@hostname/dendrite_component?sslmode=disable
max_open_conns: 10
max_idle_conns: 2

# Starting Dendrite
Once you have completed all preparation and installation steps,
you can start your Dendrite deployment by executing the `dendrite` binary:
```bash
./dendrite -config /path/to/dendrite.yaml
```
By default, Dendrite will listen HTTP on port 8008. If you want to change the addresses
or ports that Dendrite listens on, you can use the `-http-bind-address` and
`-https-bind-address` command line arguments:
```bash
./dendrite -config /path/to/dendrite.yaml \
-http-bind-address 1.2.3.4:12345 \
-https-bind-address 1.2.3.4:54321
