It intends to +provide an efficient, reliable and scalable alternative to Synapse: + + - Efficient: A small memory footprint with better baseline performance than an + out-of-the-box Synapse. + - Reliable: Implements the Matrix specification as written, using the same + test suite as Synapse as well as a brand new Go test suite. + - Scalable: can run on multiple machines and eventually scale to massive + homeserver deployments. + +Dendrite is beta software, which means: + + - Dendrite is ready for early adopters. We recommend running Dendrite with a + PostgreSQL database. + - Dendrite has periodic releases. We intend to release new versions as we fix + bugs and land significant features. + - Dendrite supports database schema upgrades between releases. This means you + should never lose your messages when upgrading Dendrite. + +This does not mean: + + - Dendrite is bug-free. It has not yet been battle-tested in the real world + and so will be error prone initially. + - Dendrite is feature-complete. There may be client or federation APIs that + are not implemented. + - Dendrite is ready for massive homeserver deployments. There is no + high-availability/clustering support. + +# Configuration + +A database must be created with UTF-8 encoding configured, or you will likely +run into problems with your Dendrite deployment. + +``` +sudo -u postgres createuser --pwprompt dendrite +sudo -u postgres createdb --owner=dendrite --encoding=UTF-8 dendrite +``` + +All Matrix homeservers require a signing private key, which will be used to +authenticate federation requests and events. + +_Important Warning_ You must treat this key as if it is highly sensitive and +private, so never share it with anyone. No one should ever ask you for this key +for any reason, even to debug a problematic Dendrite server. + +Make sure take a safe backup of this key. You will likely need it if you want +to reinstall Dendrite, or any other Matrix homeserver, on the same domain name +in the future. If you lose this key, you may have trouble joining federated +rooms. + +``` +sudo -u dendrite generate-keys -private-key /etc/dendrite/matrix_key.pem +``` diff --git a/dendrite/dendrite.SlackBuild b/dendrite/dendrite.SlackBuild new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f2baf59 --- /dev/null +++ b/dendrite/dendrite.SlackBuild @@ -0,0 +1,81 @@ +#!/bin/sh + +PRGNAM=dendrite +VERSION=${VERSION:-0.13.6} +BUILD=${BUILD:-1} +TAG=${TAG:-_slackcoder} + +if [ -z "$ARCH" ]; then + case "$( uname -m )" in + i?86) ARCH=i586 ;; + arm*) ARCH=arm ;; + *) ARCH=$( uname -m ) ;; + esac +fi + +CWD=$(pwd) +TMP=${TMP:-/tmp/SBo} +PKG=$TMP/package-$PRGNAM +OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/tmp} + +if [ "$ARCH" = "i586" ]; then + SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=i586 -mtune=i686" + LIBDIRSUFFIX="" +elif [ "$ARCH" = "i686" ]; then + SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -mtune=i686" + LIBDIRSUFFIX="" +elif [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then + SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC" + LIBDIRSUFFIX="64" +else + SLKCFLAGS="-O2" + LIBDIRSUFFIX="" +fi + +set -e + +rm -rf $PKG +mkdir -p $TMP $PKG $OUTPUT +cd $TMP +rm -rf $PRGNAM-0.13.6 +tar xvf $CWD/v0.13.6.tar.gz +cd $PRGNAM-0.13.6 +chown -R root:root . +find -L . \ + \( -perm 777 -o -perm 775 -o -perm 750 -o -perm 711 -o -perm 555 \ + -o -perm 511 \) -exec chmod 755 {} \; -o \ + \( -perm 666 -o -perm 664 -o -perm 640 -o -perm 600 -o -perm 444 \ + -o -perm 440 -o -perm 400 \) -exec chmod 644 {} \; + +GOBIN="$PKG/usr/bin" go install ./cmd/... + +find $PKG -print0 | xargs -0 file | grep -e "executable" -e "shared object" | grep ELF \ + | cut -f 1 -d : | xargs strip --strip-unneeded 2> /dev/null || true + +mkdir -p $PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION +cat $CWD/$PRGNAM.SlackBuild > $PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION/$PRGNAM.SlackBuild +cp -a \ + CHANGES.md \ + README.md \ + docs/* \ + $PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION +cp "$CWD/README" "$PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION/README_slackware.md" + +mkdir -p $PKG/install +cat $CWD/slack-desc > $PKG/install/slack-desc +cat $CWD/doinst.sh > $PKG/install/doinst.sh + +mkdir -p "$PKG/etc/dendrite" +cp -R "$CWD/files/dendrite.yaml.new" "$PKG/etc/dendrite/" +chmod -R u=rwX,g=rwX,o= "$PKG/etc/dendrite" + +mkdir -p "$PKG/etc/rc.d" +cp -R "$CWD/files/rc.dendrite.new" "$PKG/etc/rc.d/" + +mkdir -p "$PKG/var/lib/dendrite" +chmod u=rwX,g=rX,o= "$PKG/var/lib/dendrite" +mkdir -p "$PKG/var/log/dendrite" +chmod u=rwX,g=rX,o= "$PKG/var/log/dendrite" + +cd $PKG +/sbin/makepkg -l y -c n $OUTPUT/$PRGNAM-0.13.6-$ARCH-$BUILD$TAG.${PKGTYPE:-txz} diff --git a/dendrite/dendrite.info b/dendrite/dendrite.info new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6e8b1bb --- /dev/null +++ b/dendrite/dendrite.info @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +PRGNAM="dendrite" +VERSION="0.13.6" +HOMEPAGE="https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite" +DOWNLOAD="https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/archive/refs/tags/v0.13.6.tar.gz" +MD5SUM="dfae05e6600c0042b79729ad8cec9f2b" +REQUIRES="google-go-lang postgresql" +MAINTAINER="Slack Coder" +EMAIL="slackcoder@server.ky" diff --git a/dendrite/doinst.sh b/dendrite/doinst.sh new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9354800 --- /dev/null +++ b/dendrite/doinst.sh @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +config() { + NEW="$1" + OLD="$(dirname $NEW)/$(basename $NEW .new)" + # If there's no config file by that name, mv it over: + if [ ! -r $OLD ]; then + mv $NEW $OLD + elif [ "$(cat $OLD | md5sum)" = "$(cat $NEW | md5sum)" ]; then + # toss the redundant copy + rm $NEW + fi + # Otherwise, we leave the .new copy for the admin to consider... +} + +if ! getent passwd dendrite >/dev/null; then + useradd dendrite \ + --comment 'Dendrite matrix server' \ + --user-group \ + --system \ + --home-dir /var/lib/dendrite \ + || true +fi + +config etc/rc.d/rc.dendrite.new +config etc/dendrite/dendrite.yaml.new + +chown root:dendrite etc/dendrite +chown dendrite:dendrite var/lib/dendrite +chown dendrite:dendrite var/log/dendrite diff --git a/dendrite/files/dendrite.yaml.new b/dendrite/files/dendrite.yaml.new new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b356a28 --- /dev/null +++ b/dendrite/files/dendrite.yaml.new @@ -0,0 +1,357 @@ +# This is the Dendrite configuration file. +# +# The configuration is split up into sections - each Dendrite component has a +# configuration section, in addition to the "global" section which applies to +# all components. + +# The version of the configuration file. +version: 2 + +# Global Matrix configuration.
