Setting up Synapse Auto Invite Accept (optional)

The playbook can install and configure synapse-auto-invite-accept for you.

In short, it automatically accepts room invites. You can specify that only 1:1 room invites are auto-accepted. Defaults to false if not specified.

See the project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

Note: Synapse v1.109.0, the same feature has been merged into Synapse (see the Native alternative section below). You'd better use the native feature, instead of the synapse-auto-invite-accept 3rd party module.

Configuration

If you decide that you'd like to let this playbook install the [synapse-auto-invite-accept](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-auto-accept-invite module for you, add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:

matrix_synapse_ext_synapse_auto_accept_invite_enabled: true

matrix_synapse_ext_synapse_auto_accept_invite_accept_invites_only_direct_messages: true

Synapse worker deployments

In a workerized Synapse deployment it is possible to run this module on a worker to reduce the load on the main process (Default is null). For example, add this to your configuration:

matrix_synapse_ext_synapse_auto_accept_invite_worker_to_run_on: 'matrix-synapse-worker-generic-0'

There might be an issue with federation.

Native alternative

Since Synapse v1.109.0, the functionality provided by the synapse-auto-invite-accept 3rd party module has been made part of Synapse.

Here's example configuration for using the native Synapse feature:

matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_enabled: true

# Default settings below. Uncomment and adjust this part if necessary.
# matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_only_for_direct_messages: false
# matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_only_from_local_users: false

# If workers are enabled, you may delegate usage to a specific worker.
# matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_worker_to_run_on: 'matrix-synapse-worker-generic-0'
