[Pkg-matrix-maintainers] Bug#1006947: matrix-synapse: synapse_port_db ignores options from /etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/

[Nikolay Shaplov]

Package: matrix-synapse
Version: 1.53.0-1~bpo11+1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: dhyan at nataraj.su


On debian bullseye I install matrix-synapse as usual:

sudo apt-get install python3-frozendict/bullseye-backports
sudo apt-get install matrix-synapse/bullseye-backports

and then trying to upgrade it from SQLite to postgresql as said here:

https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/postgres.html#porting-from-sqlite

But when I run

synapse_port_db --sqlite-database /var/lib/matrix-synapse/homeserver.db \
--postgres-config /etc/matrix-synapse/homeserver.yaml

I get error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/synapse_port_db", line 1217, in <module>
    config.parse_config_dict(hs_config, "", "")
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/synapse/config/_base.py", line 731, in parse_config_dict
    self.invoke_all(
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/synapse/config/_base.py", line 357, in invoke_all
    res[config_class.section] = getattr(config, func_name)(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/synapse/config/server.py", line 252, in read_config
    self.server_name = config["server_name"]
KeyError: 'server_name'

But if I add "server_name" to the homeserver.yaml

cat /etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/server_name.yaml >> \
/etc/matrix-synapse/homeserver.yaml

synapse_port_db  starts working as it should.

My guess, synapse_port_db  is not aware of /etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/
confings, thus we are having problems
