- # Introduction
-
- Welcome to the documentation repository for Synapse, a
- [Matrix](https://matrix.org) homeserver implementation developed by the matrix.org core
- team.
-
- ## Installing and using Synapse
-
- This documentation covers topics for **installation**, **configuration** and
- **maintenance** of your Synapse process:
-
- * Learn how to [install](setup/installation.md) and
- [configure](usage/configuration/config_documentation.md) your own instance, perhaps with [Single
- Sign-On](usage/configuration/user_authentication/index.html).
-
- * See how to [upgrade](upgrade.md) between Synapse versions.
-
- * Administer your instance using the [Admin
- API](usage/administration/admin_api/index.html), installing [pluggable
- modules](modules/index.html), or by accessing the [manhole](manhole.md).
-
- * Learn how to [read log lines](usage/administration/request_log.md), configure
- [logging](usage/configuration/logging_sample_config.md) or set up [structured
- logging](structured_logging.md).
-
- * Scale Synapse through additional [worker processes](workers.md).
-
- * Set up [monitoring and metrics](metrics-howto.md) to keep an eye on your
- Synapse instance's performance.
-
- ## Developing on Synapse
-
- Contributions are welcome! Synapse is primarily written in
- [Python](https://python.org). As a developer, you may be interested in the
- following documentation:
-
- * Read the [Contributing Guide](development/contributing_guide.md). It is meant
- to walk new contributors through the process of developing and submitting a
- change to the Synapse codebase (which is [hosted on
- GitHub](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse)).
-
- * Set up your [development
- environment](development/contributing_guide.md#2-what-do-i-need), then learn
- how to [lint](development/contributing_guide.md#run-the-linters) and
- [test](development/contributing_guide.md#8-test-test-test) your code.
-
- * Look at [the issue tracker](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues) for
- bugs to fix or features to add. If you're new, it may be best to start with
- those labeled [good first
- issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22).
-
- * Understand [how Synapse is
- built](development/internal_documentation/index.html), how to [migrate
- database schemas](development/database_schema.md), learn about
- [federation](federate.md) and how to [set up a local
- federation](federate.md#running-a-demo-federation-of-synapses) for development.
-
- * We like to keep our `git` history clean. [Learn](development/git.md) how to
- do so!
-
- * And finally, contribute to this documentation! The source for which is
- [located here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs).
