+# Mjolnir (Matrix Moderation Tool) {#module-services-mjolnir}
+
+This chapter will show you how to set up your own, self-hosted
+[Mjolnir](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir) instance.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+See the [README](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir#readme)
+page and the [Moderator's guide](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir/blob/main/docs/moderators.md)
+for additional instructions on how to setup and use Mjolnir.
+
+For [additional settings](#opt-services.mjolnir.settings)
+see [the default configuration](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir/blob/main/config/default.yaml).
+
+## Mjolnir Setup {#module-services-mjolnir-setup}
+
+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 [services.mjolnir.managementRoom](#opt-services.mjolnir.managementRoom).
+
+Next, create a new user for Mjolnir on your homeserver, if not present already.
+
+The Mjolnir Matrix user expects to be free of any rate limiting.
+See [Synapse #6286](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6286)
+for an example on how to achieve this.
+
+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.
+
+Now invite the Mjolnir user to the management room.
+
+It is recommended to use [Pantalaimon](https://github.com/matrix-org/pantalaimon),
+so your management room can be encrypted. This also applies if you are looking to moderate an encrypted room.
+
+To enable the Pantalaimon E2E Proxy for mjolnir, enable
+[services.mjolnir.pantalaimon](#opt-services.mjolnir.pantalaimon.enable). This will
+autoconfigure a new Pantalaimon instance, which will connect to the homeserver
+set in [services.mjolnir.homeserverUrl](#opt-services.mjolnir.homeserverUrl) and Mjolnir itself
+will be configured to connect to the new Pantalaimon instance.
+
+```
+{
+  services.mjolnir = {
+    enable = true;
+    homeserverUrl = "https://matrix.domain.tld";
+    pantalaimon = {
+       enable = true;
+       username = "mjolnir";
+       passwordFile = "/run/secrets/mjolnir-password";
+    };
+    protectedRooms = [
+      "https://matrix.to/#/!xxx:domain.tld"
+    ];
+    managementRoom = "!yyy:domain.tld";
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Element Matrix Services (EMS) {#module-services-mjolnir-setup-ems}
+
+If you are using a managed ["Element Matrix Services (EMS)"](https://ems.element.io/)
+server, you will need to consent to the terms and conditions. Upon startup, an error
+log entry with a URL to the consent page will be generated.
+
+## Synapse Antispam Module {#module-services-mjolnir-matrix-synapse-antispam}
+
+A Synapse module is also available to apply the same rulesets the bot
+uses across an entire homeserver.
+
+To use the Antispam Module, add `matrix-synapse-plugins.matrix-synapse-mjolnir-antispam`
+to the Synapse plugin list and enable the `mjolnir.Module` module.
+
+```
+{
+  services.matrix-synapse = {
+    plugins = with pkgs; [
+      matrix-synapse-plugins.matrix-synapse-mjolnir-antispam
+    ];
+    extraConfig = ''
+      modules:
+        - module: mjolnir.Module
+          config:
+            # Prevent servers/users in the ban lists from inviting users on this
+            # server to rooms. Default true.
+            block_invites: true
+            # Flag messages sent by servers/users in the ban lists as spam. Currently
+            # this means that spammy messages will appear as empty to users. Default
+            # false.
+            block_messages: false
+            # Remove users from the user directory search by filtering matrix IDs and
+            # display names by the entries in the user ban list. Default false.
+            block_usernames: false
+            # The room IDs of the ban lists to honour. Unlike other parts of Mjolnir,
+            # this list cannot be room aliases or permalinks. This server is expected
+            # to already be joined to the room - Mjolnir will not automatically join
+            # these rooms.
+            ban_lists:
+              - "!roomid:example.org"
+    '';
+  };
+}
+```
