IPv6
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
As of Synapse 0.19 we finally support IPv6, many thanks to @kyrias and @glyph
|
||||
for providing PR #1696.
|
||||
|
||||
However, for federation to work on hosts with IPv6 DNS servers you **must**
|
||||
be running Twisted 17.1.0 or later - see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1002
|
||||
for details. We can't make Synapse depend on Twisted 17.1 by default
|
||||
yet as it will break most older distributions (see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1909)
|
||||
so if you are using operating system dependencies you'll have to install your
|
||||
own Twisted 17.1 package via pip or backports etc.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're running in a virtualenv then pip should have installed the newest
|
||||
Twisted automatically, but if your virtualenv is old you will need to manually
|
||||
upgrade to a newer Twisted dependency via:
|
||||
|
||||
pip install Twisted>=17.1.0

Troubleshooting Running
|

-----------------------
|
||||
|

If synapse fails with ``missing "sodium.h"`` crypto errors, you may need

to manually upgrade PyNaCL, as synapse uses NaCl (https://nacl.cr.yp.to/) for
|
||||
encryption and digital signatures.
|

Unfortunately PyNACL currently has a few issues
|
||||
(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/53) and
|
||||
(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/79) that mean it may not install
|
||||
correctly, causing all tests to fail with errors about missing "sodium.h". To
|

fix try re-installing from PyPI or directly from
