Synapse wiki

For now, this is just a quick dumping ground of useful Synapse snippets which otherwise are going to get lost across scrollback, gists, scripts etc.

Note: Keep in mind to shut down (or restart) Synapse whenever these commands are executed. Synapse caches a lot of information. Do the same for clients.

Useful SQL queries

In future these should be wrapped up as a proper admin API (with a matching CLI tool). For now, here's the raw SQL:

Deleting users:

Disclaimer: Not even verified yet, Reference ISSUE

DELETE FROM "users" WHERE name='@username:servername';
DELETE FROM "access_tokens" WHERE user_id='@username:servername';
DELETE FROM "user_ips" WHERE user_id='@username:servername';
DELETE FROM "profiles" WHERE user_id='username';
DELETE FROM "presence_stream" WHERE user_id='@username:servername';
DELETE FROM "devices" WHERE user_id='@username:servername';
DELETE FROM "device_lists_stream" WHERE user_id='@username:servername';

Deleting your copy of a room:

DISCLAIMER: Not verified by a main dev, just a user contributions (MAY EAT YOUR DATABASE):

For reference, this is how I got the list of tables to delete the room from:

SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE column_name = 'room_id';

DELETE FROM state_groups WHERE room_id='<room id here>';
DELETE FROM state_groups_state WHERE room_id='<room id here>';

What servers are my server talking to?

SELECT * FROM destinations;

What servers are currently participating in this room?

SELECT DISTINCT split_part(state_key, ':', 2)
    FROM current_state_events AS c
    INNER JOIN room_memberships AS m USING (room_id, event_id)
    WHERE room_id = '!cURbafjkfsMDVwdRDQ:matrix.org' AND membership = 'join';

Manually resetting passwords:

scripts/hash_password
UPDATE users SET password_hash='$2a$12$CC5r6fEe......' where name='@user:domain.com';
