### Linting and Formatting
It is mandatory all your changes satisfy the lints (clippy, rustc, rustdoc, etc) and your code is formatted via the **nightly** `cargo fmt`. A lot of the `rustfmt.toml` features depend on nightly toolchain. It would be ideal if they weren't nightly-exclusive features, but they currently still are. CI's rustfmt uses nightly.

`rustfmt.toml` features depend on nightly toolchain. It would be ideal if they
weren't nightly-exclusive features, but they currently still are. CI's rustfmt

If you need to allow a lint, please make sure it's either obvious as to why (e.g. clippy saying redundant clone but it's actually required) or it has a comment saying why. Do not write inefficient code for the sake of satisfying lints. If a lint is wrong and provides a more inefficient solution or suggestion, allow the lint and mention that in a comment.

### Creating pull requests
Please try to keep contributions to the GitHub. While the mirrors of conduwuit allow for pull/merge requests, there is no guarantee I will see them in a timely manner. Additionally, please mark WIP or unfinished or incomplete PRs as drafts. This prevents me from having to ping once in a while to double check the status of it, especially when the CI completed successfully and everything so it *looks* done.

## Adding a conduwuit user
While conduwuit can run as any user it is better to use dedicated users for different services. This also allows
you to make sure that the file permissions are correctly set up.

```bash
sudo adduser --system conduwuit --group --disabled-login --no-create-home
sudo adduser --system conduwuit --group --disabled-login --no-create-home

Refer to the documentation or various guides online of your chosen reverse proxy software. A [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/) example will be provided as this is the recommended reverse proxy for new users and is very trivial to use (handles TLS, reverse proxy headers, etc transparently with proper defaults).

}
```
That's it! Just start and enable the service and you're set.
```bash
sudo systemctl enable --now caddy
```
```bash sudo systemctl enable --now caddy ```

### Summary
When developing in debug-builds with the nightly toolchain, conduwuit is modular using dynamic libraries and various parts of the application are hot-reloadable while the server is running: http api handlers, admin commands, services, database, etc. These are all split up into individual workspace crates as seen in the `src/` directory. Changes to sourcecode in a crate rebuild that crate and subsequent crates depending on it. Reloading then occurs for the changed crates.

Release builds still produce static binaries which are unaffected. Rust's soundness guarantees are in full force. Thus you cannot hot-reload release binaries.

### Requirements
Currently, this development setup only works on x86_64 and aarch64 Linux glibc. [musl explicitly does not support hot reloadable libraries, and does not implement `dlclose`][2]. macOS does not fully support our usage of `RTLD_GLOBAL` possibly due to some thread-local issues. [This Rust issue][3] may be of relevance, specifically [this comment][4]. It may be possible to get it working on only very modern macOS versions such as at least Sonoma, as currently loading dylibs is supported, but not unloading them in our setup, and the cited comment mentions an Apple WWDC confirming there have been TLS changes to somewhat make this possible.

As mentioned above this requires the nightly toolchain. This is due to reliance on various Cargo.toml features that are only available on nightly, most specifically `RUSTFLAGS` in Cargo.toml. Some of the implementation could also be simpler based on other various nightly features. We hope lots of nightly features start making it out of nightly sooner as there have been dozens of very helpful features that have been stuck in nightly ("unstable") for at least 5+ years that would make this simpler. We encourage greater community consensus to move these features into stability.

This should work on GNU ld and lld (rust-lld) and gcc/clang, however if you happen to have linker issues it's recommended to try using `mold` or `gold` linkers, and please let us know in the [conduwuit Matrix room][7] the linker error and what linker solved this issue so we can figure out a solution. Ideally there should be minimal friction to using this, and in the future a build script (`build.rs`) may be suitable to making this easier to use if the capabilities allow us.

It's possible a helper script can be made to do all of this, or most preferably a specially made build script (build.rs). `cargo watch` support will be implemented soon which will eliminate the need to manually run `cargo build` all together.

### Addendum
Conduit was inherited as a single crate without modularity or reloading in its design. Reasonable partitioning and abstraction allowed a split into several crates, though many circular dependencies had to be corrected. The resulting crates now form a directed graph as depicted in figures below. The interfacing between these crates is still extremely broad which is not mitigable.

crates now form a directed graph as depicted in figures below. The interfacing
between these crates is still extremely broad which is not mitigable.
Initially [hot_lib_reload][6] was investigated but found appropriate for a project designed with modularity through limited interfaces, not a large and complex existing codebase. Instead a bespoke solution built directly on [libloading][8] satisfied our constraints. This required relatively minimal modifications and zero maintenance burden compared to what would be required otherwise. The technical difference lies with relocation processing: we leverage global bindings (`RTLD_GLOBAL`) in a very intentional way. Most libraries and off-the-shelf module systems (such as [hot_lib_reload][6]) restrict themselves to local bindings (`RTLD_LOCAL`). This allows them to release software to multiple platforms with much greater consistency, but at the cost of burdening applications to explicitly manage these bindings. In our case with an optional feature for developers, we shrug any such requirement to enjoy the cost/benefit on platforms where global relocations are properly cooperative.

To make use of `RTLD_GLOBAL` the application has to be oriented as a directed acyclic graph. The primary rule is simple and illustrated in the figure below: **no crate is allowed to call a function or use a variable from a crate below it.**

When a symbol is referenced between crates they become bound: **crates cannot be unloaded until their calling crates are first unloaded.** Thus we start the reloading process from the crate which has no callers. There is a small problem though: the first crate is called by the base executable itself! This is solved by using an `RTLD_LOCAL` binding for just one link between the main executable and the first crate, freeing the executable from all modules as no global binding ever occurs between them.

Proper resource management is essential for reliable reloading to occur. This is a very basic ask in RAII-idiomatic Rust and the exposure to reloading hazards is remarkably low, generally stemming from poor patterns and practices. Unfortunately static analysis doesn't enforce reload-safety programmatically (though it could one day), for now hazards can be avoided by knowing a few basic do's and dont's:

3. Know any minor specific quirks documented in code or here:
- Don't use `tokio::spawn`, instead use our `Handle` in `core/server.rs`, which is reachable in most of the codebase via `services()` or other state. This is due to some bugs or assumptions made in tokio, as it happens in `unsafe {}` blocks, which are mitigated by circumventing some thread-local variables. Using runtime handles is good practice in any case.

- Support blocking servers from downloading remote media from, returning a 404
- Don't allow `m.call.invite` events to be sent in public rooms (prevents calling the entire room)

- Add support for a "global ACLs" feature (`forbidden_remote_server_names`) that blocks inbound remote room invites, room joins by room ID on server name, room joins by room alias on server name, incoming federated joins, and incoming federated room directory requests. This is very helpful for blocking servers that are purely toxic/bad and serve no value in allowing our users to suffer from things like room invite spam or such. Please note that this is not a substitute for room ACLs.

Similar to above, useful for blocking servers that help prevent our users from wandering into bad areas of Matrix via room directories of those malicious servers.
- Add config option for auto remediating/deactivating local non-admin users who attempt to join bad/forbidden rooms (`auto_deactivate_banned_room_attempts`)
- Deactivating users will remove their profile picture, blurhash, display name, and leave all rooms by default just like Synapse and for additional privacy
- Don't allow `m.call.invite` events to be sent in public rooms (prevents
calling the entire room)
- On new public room creations, only allow moderators to send `m.call.invite`,
`org.matrix.msc3401.call`, and `org.matrix.msc3401.call.member` events to
prevent unprivileged users from calling the entire room
- Add support for a "global ACLs" feature (`forbidden_remote_server_names`) that
blocks inbound remote room invites, room joins by room ID on server name, room
joins by room alias on server name, incoming federated joins, and incoming
federated room directory requests. This is very helpful for blocking servers
that are purely toxic/bad and serve no value in allowing our users to suffer
from things like room invite spam or such. Please note that this is not a
substitute for room ACLs.

## Moderation
conduwuit has moderation through admin room commands. "binary commands" (medium priority) and an admin API (low priority) is planned. Some moderation-related config options are available in the example config such as "global ACLs" and blocking media requests to certain servers. See the example config for the moderation config options under the "Moderation / Privacy / Security" section.

## Database
If using RocksDB, there's very little you need to do. Compaction is ran automatically based on various defined thresholds tuned for conduwuit to be high performance with the least I/O amplifcation or overhead. Manually running compaction is not recommended, or compaction via a timer. RocksDB is built with io_uring support via liburing for async read I/O.

## Backups
Currently only RocksDB supports online backups. If you'd like to backup your database online without any downtime, see the `!admin server` command for the backup commands and the `database_backup_path` config options in the example config. Please note that the format of the database backup is not the exact same. This is unfortunately a bad design choice by Facebook as we are using the database backup engine API from RocksDB, however the data is still there and can still be joined together.

To restore a backup from an online RocksDB backup:
- shutdown conduwuit
- create a new directory for merging together the data
- in the online backup created, copy all `.sst` files in `$DATABASE_BACKUP_PATH/shared_checksum` to your new directory
- trim all the strings so instead of `######_sxxxxxxxxx.sst`, it reads `######.sst`. A way of doing this with sed and bash is `for file in *.sst; do mv "$file" "$(echo "$file" | sed 's/_s.*/.sst/')"; done`
- copy all the files in `$DATABASE_BACKUP_PATH/1` (or the latest backup number if you have multiple) to your new directory
- set your `database_path` config option to your new directory, or replace your old one with the new one you crafted
- in the online backup created, copy all `.sst` files in
`$DATABASE_BACKUP_PATH/shared_checksum` to your new directory
- trim all the strings so instead of `######_sxxxxxxxxx.sst`, it reads

if you have multiple) to your new directory
- set your `database_path` config option to your new directory, or replace your
old one with the new one you crafted
- start up conduwuit again and it should open as normal
If you'd like to do an offline backup, shutdown conduwuit and copy your `database_path` directory elsewhere. This can be restored with no modifications needed.

Backing up media is also just copying the `media/` directory from your database directory.
Backing up media is also just copying the `media/` directory from your database
directory.
## Media
Media still needs various work, however conduwuit implements media deletion via:
- MXC URI or Event ID (unencrypted and attempts to find the MXC URI in the event)
- MXC URI or Event ID (unencrypted and attempts to find the MXC URI in the
event)
- Delete list of MXC URIs
- Delete remote media in the past `N` seconds/minutes via filesystem metadata on the file created time (`btime`) or file modified time (`mtime`)
- Delete remote media in the past `N` seconds/minutes via filesystem metadata on
the file created time (`btime`) or file modified time (`mtime`)
See the `!admin media` command for further information. All media in conduwuit is stored at `$DATABASE_DIR/media`. This will be configurable soon.

If you are finding yourself needing extensive granular control over media, we recommend looking into [Matrix Media Repo](https://github.com/t2bot/matrix-media-repo). conduwuit intends to implement various utilities for media, but MMR is dedicated to extensive media management.

## General potential issues
#### Potential DNS issues when using Docker
Docker has issues with its default DNS setup that may cause DNS to not be properly functional when running conduwuit, resulting in federation issues.
The symptoms of this have shown in excessively long room joins (30+ minutes) from very long DNS timeouts, log entries of "mismatching responding nameservers", and/or partial or non-functional inbound/outbound federation.

This is **not** a conduwuit issue, and is purely a Docker issue. It is not sustainable for heavy DNS activity which is normal for Matrix federation. The workarounds for this are:
This is **not** a conduwuit issue, and is purely a Docker issue. It is not
sustainable for heavy DNS activity which is normal for Matrix federation. The
workarounds for this are:
- Use DNS over TCP via the config option `query_over_tcp_only = true`
- Don't use Docker's default DNS setup and instead allow the container to use and communicate with your host's DNS servers (host's `/etc/resolv.conf`)

## Rocksdb / database issues
#### Direct IO
Some filesystems may not like RocksDB using [Direct IO](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Direct-IO). Direct IO is for non-buffered I/O which improves conduwuit performance, but at least FUSE is a filesystem potentially known to not like this. See the [example config](configuration/examples.md) for disabling it if needed. Issues from Direct IO on unsupported filesystems are usually shown as startup errors.

#### Database corruption
If your database is corrupted *and* is failing to start (e.g. checksum mismatch), it may be recoverable but careful steps must be taken, and there is no guarantee it may be recoverable.

The first thing that can be done is launching conduwuit with the `rocksdb_repair` config option set to true. This will tell RocksDB to attempt to repair itself at launch. If this does not work, disable the option and continue reading.

RocksDB has the following recovery modes:
@ -38,33 +59,59 @@ RocksDB has the following recovery modes:
- `PointInTime`
- `SkipAnyCorruptedRecord`
By default, conduwuit uses `TolerateCorruptedTailRecords` as generally these may be due to bad federation and we can re-fetch the correct data over federation. The RocksDB default is `PointInTime` which will attempt to restore a "snapshot" of the data when it was last known to be good. This data can be either a few seconds old, or multiple minutes prior. `PointInTime` may not be suitable for default usage due to clients and servers possibly not being able to handle sudden "backwards time travels", and `AbsoluteConsistency` may be too strict.

`AbsoluteConsistency` will fail to start the database if any sign of corruption is detected. `SkipAnyCorruptedRecord` will skip all forms of corruption unless it forbids the database from opening (e.g. too severe). Usage of `SkipAnyCorruptedRecord` voids any support as this may cause more damage and/or leave your database in a permanently inconsistent state, but it may do something if `PointInTime` does not work as a last ditch effort.

With this in mind:
- First start conduwuit with the `PointInTime` recovery method. See the [example config](configuration/examples.md) for how to do this using `rocksdb_recovery_mode`
- If your database successfully opens, clients are recommended to clear their client cache to account for the rollback
- Leave your conduwuit running in `PointInTime` for at least 30-60 minutes so as much possible corruption is restored
- If all goes will, you should be able to restore back to using `TolerateCorruptedTailRecords` and you have successfully recovered your database

#### Debug/Trace log level
conduwuit builds without debug or trace log levels by default for at least performance reasons. This may change in the future and/or binaries providing such configurations may be provided. If you need to access debug/trace log levels, you will need to build without the `release_max_log_level` feature.

#### Changing log level dynamically
conduwuit supports changing the tracing log environment filter on-the-fly using the admin command `!admin debug change-log-level`. This accepts a string **without quotes** the same format as the `log` config option.

#### Pinging servers
conduwuit can ping other servers using `!admin debug ping`. This takes a server name and goes through the server discovery process and queries `/_matrix/federation/v1/version`. Errors are outputted.
