 <title>Mjolnir (Matrix Moderation Tool)</title>
 <para>
  This chapter will show you how to set up your own, self-hosted
  <link xlink:href="https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir">Mjolnir</link>
  instance.
 </para>
 <para>
  As an all-in-one moderation tool, it can protect your server from
  malicious invites, spam messages, and whatever else you don't want.
  In addition to server-level protection, Mjolnir is great for communities
  wanting to protect their rooms without having to use their personal
  accounts for moderation.
 </para>
 <para>
  The bot by default includes support for bans, redactions, anti-spam,
  server ACLs, room directory changes, room alias transfers, account
  deactivation, room shutdown, and more.
 </para>

  See the <link xlink:href="https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir#readme">README</link>
  page and the <link xlink:href="https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir/blob/main/docs/moderators.md">Moderator's guide</link>
  for additional instructions on how to setup and use Mjolnir.

  <title>Mjolnir Setup</title>
  <para>
   First create a new Room which will be used as a management room for Mjolnir. In
   this room, Mjolnir will log possible errors and debugging information. You'll
   need to set this Room-ID in <link linkend="opt-services.mjolnir.managementRoom">services.mjolnir.managementRoom</link>.
  </para>
  <para>
   Next, create a new user for Mjolnir on your homeserver, if not present already.
  </para>
  <para>
   The Mjolnir Matrix user expects to be free of any rate limiting.
   See <link xlink:href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6286">Synapse #6286</link>
   for an example on how to achieve this.
  </para>
  <para>
   If you want Mjolnir to be able to deactivate users, move room aliases, shutdown rooms, etc.
   you'll need to make the Mjolnir user a Matrix server admin.
  </para>
  <para>
   Now invite the Mjolnir user to the management room.
  </para>
  <para>
   It is recommended to use <link xlink:href="https://github.com/matrix-org/pantalaimon">Pantalaimon</link>,
   so your management room can be encrypted. This also applies if you are looking to moderate an encrypted room.
  </para>
  <para>
   To enable the Pantalaimon E2E Proxy for mjolnir, enable
   <link linkend="opt-services.mjolnir.pantalaimon.enable">services.mjolnir.pantalaimon</link>. This will
   autoconfigure a new Pantalaimon instance, which will connect to the homeserver
   set in <link linkend="opt-services.mjolnir.homeserverUrl">services.mjolnir.homeserverUrl</link> and Mjolnir itself
   will be configured to connect to the new Pantalaimon instance.

   If you are using a managed <link xlink:href="https://ems.element.io/">"Element Matrix Services (EMS)"</link>

  <para>
   A Synapse module is also available to apply the same rulesets the bot
   uses across an entire homeserver.

   To use the Antispam Module, add <package>matrix-synapse-plugins.matrix-synapse-mjolnir-antispam</package>
