sync-v3

Run an experimental sync v3 server using an existing Matrix account. This is possible because, for the most part, v3 sync is a strict subset of v2 sync.

An implementation of MSC3575.

Usage

Requires Postgres 13+.

$ createdb syncv3
$ go build ./cmd/syncv3
$ ./syncv3 -server "https://matrix-client.matrix.org" -db "user=$(whoami) dbname=syncv3 sslmode=disable"

Then visit http://localhost:8008/client/ (with trailing slash) and paste in the access_token for any account on -server.

When you hit the Sync button nothing will happen initially, but you should see:

INF Poller: v2 poll loop started ip=::1 since= user_id=@kegan:matrix.org

Wait for the first initial v2 sync to be processed (this can take minutes!) and then v3 APIs will be responsive.

How can I help?

At present, the best way to help would be to run a local v3 server pointed at a busy account and just leave it and a client running in the background. Look at it occasionally and submit any issues you notice. You can save console logs by right-clicking -> Save As.

Please run the server with SYNCV3_DEBUG=1 set. This will force the server to panic when assertions fail rather than just log them.
