# Installing Dendrite
|
|
|
|
Dendrite can be run in one of two configurations:
|
|
|
|
* A cluster of individual components, dealing with different aspects of the
|
|
Matrix protocol (see [WIRING.md](./WIRING.md)). Components communicate with
|
|
one another via [Apache Kafka](https://kafka.apache.org).
|
|
|
|
* A monolith server, in which all components run in the same process. In this
|
|
configuration, Kafka can be replaced with an in-process implementation
|
|
called [naffka](https://github.com/matrix-org/naffka).
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Go 1.11+
|
|
- Postgres 9.5+
|
|
- For Kafka (optional if using the monolith server):
|
|
- Unix-based system (https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#os)
|
|
- JDK 1.8+ / OpenJDK 1.8+
|
|
- Apache Kafka 0.10.2+ (see [scripts/install-local-kafka.sh](scripts/install-local-kafka.sh) for up-to-date version numbers)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setting up a development environment
|
|
|
|
Assumes Go 1.10+ and JDK 1.8+ are already installed and are on PATH.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Get the code
|
|
git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite
|
|
cd dendrite
|
|
|
|
# Build it
|
|
./build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If using Kafka, install and start it (c.f. [scripts/install-local-kafka.sh](scripts/install-local-kafka.sh)):
|
|
```bash
|
|
KAFKA_URL=http://archive.apache.org/dist/kafka/2.1.0/kafka_2.11-2.1.0.tgz
|
|
|
|
# Only download the kafka if it isn't already downloaded.
|
|
test -f kafka.tgz || wget $KAFKA_URL -O kafka.tgz
|
|
# Unpack the kafka over the top of any existing installation
|
|
mkdir -p kafka && tar xzf kafka.tgz -C kafka --strip-components 1
|
|
|
|
# Start the zookeeper running in the background.
|
|
# By default the zookeeper listens on localhost:2181
|
|
kafka/bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh -daemon kafka/config/zookeeper.properties
|
|
|
|
# Start the kafka server running in the background.
|
|
# By default the kafka listens on localhost:9092
|
|
kafka/bin/kafka-server-start.sh -daemon kafka/config/server.properties
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On MacOS, you can use [homebrew](https://brew.sh/) for easier setup of kafka
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install kafka
|
|
brew services start zookeeper
|
|
brew services start kafka
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Postgres database setup
|
|
|
|
Dendrite requires a postgres database engine, version 9.5 or later.
|
|
|
|
* Create role:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -u postgres createuser -P dendrite # prompts for password
|
|
```
|
|
* Create databases:
|
|
```bash
|
|
for i in account device mediaapi syncapi roomserver serverkey federationsender publicroomsapi appservice naffka; do
|
|
sudo -u postgres createdb -O dendrite dendrite_$i
|
|
done
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(On macOS, omit `sudo -u postgres` from the above commands.)
|
|
|
|
### Crypto key generation
|
|
|
|
Generate the keys:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Generate a self-signed SSL cert for federation:
|
|
test -f server.key || openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout server.key -out server.crt -days 3650 -nodes -subj /CN=localhost
|
|
|
|
# generate ed25519 signing key
|
|
test -f matrix_key.pem || ./bin/generate-keys -private-key matrix_key.pem
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
Create config file, based on `dendrite-config.yaml`. Call it `dendrite.yaml`. Things that will need editing include *at least*:
|
|
* `server_name`
|
|
* `database/*` (All lines in the database section must have the username and password of the user created with the `createuser` command above. eg:`dendrite:password@localhost`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Starting a monolith server
|
|
|
|
It is possible to use 'naffka' as an in-process replacement to Kafka when using
|
|
the monolith server. To do this, set `use_naffka: true` in `dendrite.yaml` and uncomment
|
|
the necessary line related to naffka in the `database` section. Be sure to update the
|
|
database username and password if needed.
|
|
|
|
The monolith server can be started as shown below. By default it listens for
|
|
HTTP connections on port 8008, so point your client at
|
|
`http://localhost:8008`. If you set `--tls-cert` and `--tls-key` as shown
|
|
below, it will also listen for HTTPS connections on port 8448.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/dendrite-monolith-server --tls-cert=server.crt --tls-key=server.key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Starting a multiprocess server
|
|
|
|
The following contains scripts which will run all the required processes in order to point a Matrix client at Dendrite. Conceptually, you are wiring together to form the following diagram:

A --> B = HTTP requests (A = client, B = server)
|
|
A ==> B = Kafka (A = producer, B = consumer)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run a client api proxy
|
|
|
|
This is what Matrix clients will talk to. If you use the script below, point your client at `http://localhost:8008`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/client-api-proxy \
|
|
--bind-address ":8008" \
|
|
--client-api-server-url "http://localhost:7771" \
|
|
--sync-api-server-url "http://localhost:7773" \
|
|
--media-api-server-url "http://localhost:7774" \
|
|
--public-rooms-api-server-url "http://localhost:7775" \
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run a client api
|
|
|
|
This is what implements message sending. Clients talk to this via the proxy in order to send messages.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/dendrite-client-api-server --config=dendrite.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(If this fails with `pq: syntax error at or near "ON"`, check you are using at least postgres 9.5.)
|
|
|
|
### Run a room server
|
|
|
|
This is what implements the room DAG. Clients do not talk to this.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/dendrite-room-server --config=dendrite.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run a sync server
|
|
|
|
This is what implements `/sync` requests. Clients talk to this via the proxy in order to receive messages.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/dendrite-sync-api-server --config dendrite.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run a media server
|
|
|
|
This implements `/media` requests. Clients talk to this via the proxy in order to upload and retrieve media.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/dendrite-media-api-server --config dendrite.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run public room server
|
|
|
|
This implements `/directory` requests. Clients talk to this via the proxy in order to retrieve room directory listings.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/dendrite-public-rooms-api-server --config dendrite.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run a federation api proxy
|
|
|
|
This is what Matrix servers will talk to. This is only required if you want to support federation.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/federation-api-proxy \
|
|
--bind-address ":8448" \
|
|
--federation-api-url "http://localhost:7772" \
|
|
--media-api-server-url "http://localhost:7774" \
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run a federation api server
|
|
|
|
This implements federation requests. Servers talk to this via the proxy in
|
|
order to send transactions. This is only required if you want to support
|
|
federation.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/dendrite-federation-api-server --config dendrite.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run a federation sender server
|
|
|
|
This sends events from our users to other servers. This is only required if
|
|
you want to support federation.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/dendrite-federation-sender-server --config dendrite.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run an appservice server
|
|
|
|
This sends events from the network to [application
|
|
services](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/application_service/unstable.html)
|
|
running locally. This is only required if you want to support running
|
|
application services on your homeserver.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/dendrite-appservice-server --config dendrite.yaml
|
|
```
