# This file is maintained as an up-to-date snapshot of the default
# homeserver.yaml configuration generated by Synapse.
#
# It is intended to act as a reference for the default configuration,
# helping admins keep track of new options and other changes, and compare
# their configs with the current default. As such, many of the actual
# config values shown are placeholders.
#
# It is *not* intended to be copied and used as the basis for a real
# homeserver.yaml. Instead, if you are starting from scratch, please generate
# a fresh config using Synapse by following the instructions in INSTALL.md.
# Configuration options that take a time period can be set using a number
# followed by a letter. Letters have the following meanings:
# s = second
# m = minute
# h = hour
# d = day
# w = week
# y = year
# For example, setting redaction_retention_period: 5m would remove redacted
# messages from the database after 5 minutes, rather than 5 months.

# Configuration file for Synapse.
#
# This is a YAML file: see [1] for a quick introduction. Note in particular
# that *indentation is important*: all the elements of a list or dictionary
# should have the same indentation.
#
# [1] https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/YAMLSyntax.html
## Server ##
# The public-facing domain of the server
#
# The server_name name will appear at the end of usernames and room addresses
# created on this server. For example if the server_name was example.com,
# usernames on this server would be in the format @user:example.com
#
# In most cases you should avoid using a matrix specific subdomain such as
# matrix.example.com or synapse.example.com as the server_name for the same
# reasons you wouldn't use user@email.example.com as your email address.
# See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/delegate.md
# for information on how to host Synapse on a subdomain while preserving
# a clean server_name.
#
# The server_name cannot be changed later so it is important to
# configure this correctly before you start Synapse. It should be all
# lowercase and may contain an explicit port.
# Examples: matrix.org, localhost:8080
#
server_name: "SERVERNAME"
# When running as a daemon, the file to store the pid in
#
pid_file: DATADIR/homeserver.pid
# The absolute URL to the web client which /_matrix/client will redirect
# to if 'webclient' is configured under the 'listeners' configuration.
#
# This option can be also set to the filesystem path to the web client
# which will be served at /_matrix/client/ if 'webclient' is configured
# under the 'listeners' configuration, however this is a security risk:
# https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#security-note
#
#web_client_location: https://riot.example.com/
# The public-facing base URL that clients use to access this Homeserver (not
# including _matrix/...). This is the same URL a user might enter into the
# 'Custom Homeserver URL' field on their client. If you use Synapse with a
# reverse proxy, this should be the URL to reach Synapse via the proxy.
# Otherwise, it should be the URL to reach Synapse's client HTTP listener (see
# 'listeners' below).
#
#public_baseurl: https://example.com/
# Set the soft limit on the number of file descriptors synapse can use
# Zero is used to indicate synapse should set the soft limit to the
# hard limit.

#soft_file_limit: 0
# Set to false to disable presence tracking on this homeserver.
#
#use_presence: false
# Whether to require authentication to retrieve profile data (avatars,
# display names) of other users through the client API. Defaults to
# 'false'. Note that profile data is also available via the federation
# API, so this setting is of limited value if federation is enabled on
# the server.
#
#require_auth_for_profile_requests: true
# Uncomment to require a user to share a room with another user in order
# to retrieve their profile information. Only checked on Client-Server
# requests. Profile requests from other servers should be checked by the
# requesting server. Defaults to 'false'.
#
#limit_profile_requests_to_users_who_share_rooms: true
# If set to 'true', removes the need for authentication to access the server's
# public rooms directory through the client API, meaning that anyone can
# query the room directory. Defaults to 'false'.
#
#allow_public_rooms_without_auth: true
# If set to 'true', allows any other homeserver to fetch the server's public
# rooms directory via federation. Defaults to 'false'.
#
#allow_public_rooms_over_federation: true
# The default room version for newly created rooms.
#
# Known room versions are listed here:

# to "1".
#
#default_room_version: "6"
# The GC threshold parameters to pass to `gc.set_threshold`, if defined
#
#gc_thresholds: [700, 10, 10]
# Set the limit on the returned events in the timeline in the get
# and sync operations. The default value is 100. -1 means no upper limit.
#
# Uncomment the following to increase the limit to 5000.
#
#filter_timeline_limit: 5000
# Whether room invites to users on this server should be blocked
# (except those sent by local server admins). The default is False.
#
#block_non_admin_invites: true
# Room searching
#
# If disabled, new messages will not be indexed for searching and users
# will receive errors when searching for messages. Defaults to enabled.
#
#enable_search: false
# Prevent outgoing requests from being sent to the following blacklisted IP address
# CIDR ranges. If this option is not specified then it defaults to private IP
# address ranges (see the example below).
#
# The blacklist applies to the outbound requests for federation, identity servers,
# push servers, and for checking key validity for third-party invite events.
#
# (0.0.0.0 and :: are always blacklisted, whether or not they are explicitly
# listed here, since they correspond to unroutable addresses.)
#
# This option replaces federation_ip_range_blacklist in Synapse v1.25.0.
#
#ip_range_blacklist:
# - '127.0.0.0/8'

# List of ports that Synapse should listen on, their purpose and their
# configuration.
#
# Options for each listener include:
#
# port: the TCP port to bind to
#
# bind_addresses: a list of local addresses to listen on. The default is
# 'all local interfaces'.
#
# type: the type of listener. Normally 'http', but other valid options are:
# 'manhole' (see docs/manhole.md),
# 'metrics' (see docs/metrics-howto.md),
# 'replication' (see docs/workers.md).
#
# tls: set to true to enable TLS for this listener. Will use the TLS
# key/cert specified in tls_private_key_path / tls_certificate_path.
#
# x_forwarded: Only valid for an 'http' listener. Set to true to use the
# X-Forwarded-For header as the client IP. Useful when Synapse is
# behind a reverse-proxy.
#
# resources: Only valid for an 'http' listener. A list of resources to host
# on this port. Options for each resource are:
#
# names: a list of names of HTTP resources. See below for a list of
# valid resource names.
#
# compress: set to true to enable HTTP compression for this resource.
#
# additional_resources: Only valid for an 'http' listener. A map of
# additional endpoints which should be loaded via dynamic modules.
#
# Valid resource names are:
#
# client: the client-server API (/_matrix/client), and the synapse admin
# API (/_synapse/admin). Also implies 'media' and 'static'.
#
# consent: user consent forms (/_matrix/consent). See
# docs/consent_tracking.md.
#
# federation: the server-server API (/_matrix/federation). Also implies
# 'media', 'keys', 'openid'
#
# keys: the key discovery API (/_matrix/keys).
#
# media: the media API (/_matrix/media).
#
# metrics: the metrics interface. See docs/metrics-howto.md.
#
# openid: OpenID authentication.
#
# replication: the HTTP replication API (/_synapse/replication). See
# docs/workers.md.
#
# static: static resources under synapse/static (/_matrix/static). (Mostly
# useful for 'fallback authentication'.)
#
# webclient: A web client. Requires web_client_location to be set.
#
listeners:
# TLS-enabled listener: for when matrix traffic is sent directly to synapse.
#
# Disabled by default. To enable it, uncomment the following. (Note that you
# will also need to give Synapse a TLS key and certificate: see the TLS section
# below.)

# Forward extremities can build up in a room due to networking delays between
# homeservers. Once this happens in a large room, calculation of the state of
# that room can become quite expensive. To mitigate this, once the number of
# forward extremities reaches a given threshold, Synapse will send an
# org.matrix.dummy_event event, which will reduce the forward extremities
# in the room.
#
# This setting defines the threshold (i.e. number of forward extremities in the
# room) at which dummy events are sent. The default value is 10.

## Homeserver blocking ##
# How to reach the server admin, used in ResourceLimitError
#
#admin_contact: 'mailto:admin@server.com'
# Global blocking
#
#hs_disabled: false
#hs_disabled_message: 'Human readable reason for why the HS is blocked'
# Monthly Active User Blocking
#
# Used in cases where the admin or server owner wants to limit to the
# number of monthly active users.
#
# 'limit_usage_by_mau' disables/enables monthly active user blocking. When
# enabled and a limit is reached the server returns a 'ResourceLimitError'
# with error type Codes.RESOURCE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
#
# 'max_mau_value' is the hard limit of monthly active users above which
# the server will start blocking user actions.
#
# 'mau_trial_days' is a means to add a grace period for active users. It
# means that users must be active for this number of days before they
# can be considered active and guards against the case where lots of users
# sign up in a short space of time never to return after their initial
# session.
#
# 'mau_limit_alerting' is a means of limiting client side alerting
# should the mau limit be reached. This is useful for small instances
# where the admin has 5 mau seats (say) for 5 specific people and no
# interest increasing the mau limit further. Defaults to True, which
# means that alerting is enabled
#
#limit_usage_by_mau: false
#max_mau_value: 50
#mau_trial_days: 2
#mau_limit_alerting: false
# If enabled, the metrics for the number of monthly active users will

#mau_stats_only: false
# Sometimes the server admin will want to ensure certain accounts are
# never blocked by mau checking. These accounts are specified here.

#
#admins_can_join: true
# Whether to require a user to be in the room to add an alias to it.
# Defaults to 'true'.
#
#require_membership_for_aliases: false
# Whether to allow per-room membership profiles through the send of membership
# events with profile information that differ from the target's global profile.
# Defaults to 'true'.
#
#allow_per_room_profiles: false
# How long to keep redacted events in unredacted form in the database. After
# this period redacted events get replaced with their redacted form in the DB.
#
# Defaults to `7d`. Set to `null` to disable.
#
#redaction_retention_period: 28d
# How long to track users' last seen time and IPs in the database.
#
# Defaults to `28d`. Set to `null` to disable clearing out of old rows.
#
#user_ips_max_age: 14d
# Message retention policy at the server level.
#
# Room admins and mods can define a retention period for their rooms using the
# 'm.room.retention' state event, and server admins can cap this period by setting
# the 'allowed_lifetime_min' and 'allowed_lifetime_max' config options.
#
# If this feature is enabled, Synapse will regularly look for and purge events
# which are older than the room's maximum retention period. Synapse will also
# filter events received over federation so that events that should have been
# purged are ignored and not stored again.
#
retention:
# The message retention policies feature is disabled by default. Uncomment the
# following line to enable it.
#
#enabled: true
# Default retention policy. If set, Synapse will apply it to rooms that lack the
# 'm.room.retention' state event. Currently, the value of 'min_lifetime' doesn't
# matter much because Synapse doesn't take it into account yet.
#
#default_policy:
# min_lifetime: 1d
# max_lifetime: 1y
# Retention policy limits. If set, and the state of a room contains a
# 'm.room.retention' event in its state which contains a 'min_lifetime' or a
# 'max_lifetime' that's out of these bounds, Synapse will cap the room's policy
# to these limits when running purge jobs.
#
#allowed_lifetime_min: 1d
#allowed_lifetime_max: 1y
# Server admins can define the settings of the background jobs purging the
# events which lifetime has expired under the 'purge_jobs' section.
#
# If no configuration is provided, a single job will be set up to delete expired
# events in every room daily.
#
# Each job's configuration defines which range of message lifetimes the job
# takes care of. For example, if 'shortest_max_lifetime' is '2d' and
# 'longest_max_lifetime' is '3d', the job will handle purging expired events in
# rooms whose state defines a 'max_lifetime' that's both higher than 2 days, and
# lower than or equal to 3 days. Both the minimum and the maximum value of a
# range are optional, e.g. a job with no 'shortest_max_lifetime' and a
# 'longest_max_lifetime' of '3d' will handle every room with a retention policy
# which 'max_lifetime' is lower than or equal to three days.
#
# The rationale for this per-job configuration is that some rooms might have a
# retention policy with a low 'max_lifetime', where history needs to be purged
# of outdated messages on a more frequent basis than for the rest of the rooms
# (e.g. every 12h), but not want that purge to be performed by a job that's
# iterating over every room it knows, which could be heavy on the server.
#
# If any purge job is configured, it is strongly recommended to have at least
# a single job with neither 'shortest_max_lifetime' nor 'longest_max_lifetime'
# set, or one job without 'shortest_max_lifetime' and one job without
# 'longest_max_lifetime' set. Otherwise some rooms might be ignored, even if
# 'allowed_lifetime_min' and 'allowed_lifetime_max' are set, because capping a
# room's policy to these values is done after the policies are retrieved from
# Synapse's database (which is done using the range specified in a purge job's
# configuration).
#
#purge_jobs:
# - longest_max_lifetime: 3d
# interval: 12h
# - shortest_max_lifetime: 3d
# interval: 1d
# Inhibits the /requestToken endpoints from returning an error that might leak

# Note that for some endpoints the error situation is the e-mail already being

# If this option is enabled, instead of returning an error, these endpoints will
# act as if no error happened and return a fake session ID ('sid') to clients.

# users will be automatically redirected to after validation
# succeeds. Clients can make use this parameter to aid the validation
# process.
#
# The whitelist is applied whether the homeserver or an
# identity server is handling validation.

## TLS ##
# PEM-encoded X509 certificate for TLS.
# This certificate, as of Synapse 1.0, will need to be a valid and verifiable
# certificate, signed by a recognised Certificate Authority.
#
# See 'ACME support' below to enable auto-provisioning this certificate via
# Let's Encrypt.
#
# If supplying your own, be sure to use a `.pem` file that includes the
# full certificate chain including any intermediate certificates (for
# instance, if using certbot, use `fullchain.pem` as your certificate,
# not `cert.pem`).
#

# PEM-encoded private key for TLS
#
#tls_private_key_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.tls.key"
# Whether to verify TLS server certificates for outbound federation requests.
#
# Defaults to `true`. To disable certificate verification, uncomment the
# following line.
#
#federation_verify_certificates: false
# The minimum TLS version that will be used for outbound federation requests.
#
# Defaults to `1`. Configurable to `1`, `1.1`, `1.2`, or `1.3`. Note
# that setting this value higher than `1.2` will prevent federation to most
# of the public Matrix network: only configure it to `1.3` if you have an
# entirely private federation setup and you can ensure TLS 1.3 support.
#
#federation_client_minimum_tls_version: 1.2
# Skip federation certificate verification on the following whitelist
# of domains.
#
# This setting should only be used in very specific cases, such as

# ACME support: This will configure Synapse to request a valid TLS certificate
# for your configured `server_name` via Let's Encrypt.
#
# Note that ACME v1 is now deprecated, and Synapse currently doesn't support
# ACME v2. This means that this feature currently won't work with installs set
# up after November 2019. For more info, and alternative solutions, see
# https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/ACME.md#deprecation-of-acme-v1
#
# Note that provisioning a certificate in this way requires port 80 to be
# routed to Synapse so that it can complete the http-01 ACME challenge.
# By default, if you enable ACME support, Synapse will attempt to listen on
# port 80 for incoming http-01 challenges - however, this will likely fail
# with 'Permission denied' or a similar error.
#
# There are a couple of potential solutions to this:
#
# * If you already have an Apache, Nginx, or similar listening on port 80,
# you can configure Synapse to use an alternate port, and have your web
# server forward the requests. For example, assuming you set 'port: 8009'
# below, on Apache, you would write:
#
# ProxyPass /.well-known/acme-challenge http://localhost:8009/.well-known/acme-challenge
#
# * Alternatively, you can use something like `authbind` to give Synapse
# permission to listen on port 80.

# List of allowed TLS fingerprints for this server to publish along
# with the signing keys for this server. Other matrix servers that
# make HTTPS requests to this server will check that the TLS
# certificates returned by this server match one of the fingerprints.
#
# Synapse automatically adds the fingerprint of its own certificate
# to the list. So if federation traffic is handled directly by synapse
# then no modification to the list is required.
#
# If synapse is run behind a load balancer that handles the TLS then it
# will be necessary to add the fingerprints of the certificates used by
# the loadbalancers to this list if they are different to the one
# synapse is using.
#
# Homeservers are permitted to cache the list of TLS fingerprints
# returned in the key responses up to the "valid_until_ts" returned in
# key. It may be necessary to publish the fingerprints of a new
# certificate and wait until the "valid_until_ts" of the previous key
# responses have passed before deploying it.
#
# You can calculate a fingerprint from a given TLS listener via:
# openssl s_client -connect $host:$port < /dev/null 2> /dev/null |
# openssl x509 -outform DER | openssl sha256 -binary | base64 | tr -d '='
# or by checking matrix.org/federationtester/api/report?server_name=$host
#
#tls_fingerprints: [{"sha256": "<base64_encoded_sha256_fingerprint>"}]
## Federation ##
# Restrict federation to the following whitelist of domains.
# N.B. we recommend also firewalling your federation listener to limit
# inbound federation traffic as early as possible, rather than relying
# purely on this application-layer restriction. If not specified, the
# default is to whitelist everything.
#
#federation_domain_whitelist:
# - lon.example.com
# - nyc.example.com
# - syd.example.com
# Report prometheus metrics on the age of PDUs being sent to and received from
# the following domains. This can be used to give an idea of "delay" on inbound
# and outbound federation, though be aware that any delay can be due to problems
# at either end or with the intermediate network.
#
# By default, no domains are monitored in this way.

## Caching ##
# Caching can be configured through the following options.
#
# A cache 'factor' is a multiplier that can be applied to each of
# Synapse's caches in order to increase or decrease the maximum
# number of entries that can be stored.
# The number of events to cache in memory. Not affected by
# caches.global_factor.
#
#event_cache_size: 10K
caches:
# Controls the global cache factor, which is the default cache factor
# for all caches if a specific factor for that cache is not otherwise
# set.
#
# This can also be set by the "SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR" environment
# variable. Setting by environment variable takes priority over
# setting through the config file.
#
# Defaults to 0.5, which will half the size of all caches.
#
#global_factor: 1.0
# A dictionary of cache name to cache factor for that individual
# cache. Overrides the global cache factor for a given cache.
#
# These can also be set through environment variables comprised
# of "SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR_" + the name of the cache in capital
# letters and underscores. Setting by environment variable
# takes priority over setting through the config file.
# Ex. SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR_GET_USERS_WHO_SHARE_ROOM_WITH_USER=2.0
#
# Some caches have '*' and other characters that are not
# alphanumeric or underscores. These caches can be named with or
# without the special characters stripped. For example, to specify
# the cache factor for `*stateGroupCache*` via an environment
# variable would be `SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR_STATEGROUPCACHE=2.0`.
#
per_cache_factors:
#get_users_who_share_room_with_user: 2.0
## Database ##
# The 'database' setting defines the database that synapse uses to store all of

## Logging ##
# A yaml python logging config file as described by
# https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/logging.config.html#configuration-dictionary-schema
#
log_config: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.log.config"
## Ratelimiting ##
# Ratelimiting settings for client actions (registration, login, messaging).
#
# Each ratelimiting configuration is made of two parameters:
# - per_second: number of requests a client can send per second.
# - burst_count: number of requests a client can send before being throttled.
#
# Synapse currently uses the following configurations:
# - one for messages that ratelimits sending based on the account the client
# is using
# - one for registration that ratelimits registration requests based on the
# client's IP address.
# - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the client's IP
# address.
# - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the account the
# client is attempting to log into.
# - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the account the
# client is attempting to log into, based on the amount of failed login
# attempts for this account.
# - one for ratelimiting redactions by room admins. If this is not explicitly
# set then it uses the same ratelimiting as per rc_message. This is useful
# to allow room admins to deal with abuse quickly.
# - two for ratelimiting number of rooms a user can join, "local" for when
# users are joining rooms the server is already in (this is cheap) vs
# "remote" for when users are trying to join rooms not on the server (which
# can be more expensive)
# - one for ratelimiting how often a user or IP can attempt to validate a 3PID.
# - two for ratelimiting how often invites can be sent in a room or to a
# specific user.
#
# The defaults are as shown below.
#
#rc_message:
# per_second: 0.2
# burst_count: 10
#
#rc_registration:
# per_second: 0.17
# burst_count: 3

# Ratelimiting settings for incoming federation
#
# The rc_federation configuration is made up of the following settings:
# - window_size: window size in milliseconds
# - sleep_limit: number of federation requests from a single server in
# a window before the server will delay processing the request.
# - sleep_delay: duration in milliseconds to delay processing events
# from remote servers by if they go over the sleep limit.
# - reject_limit: maximum number of concurrent federation requests
# allowed from a single server
# - concurrent: number of federation requests to concurrently process
# from a single server
#
# The defaults are as shown below.
#
#rc_federation:
# window_size: 1000
# sleep_limit: 10
# sleep_delay: 500
# reject_limit: 50
# concurrent: 3
# Target outgoing federation transaction frequency for sending read-receipts,
# per-room.
#
# If we end up trying to send out more read-receipts, they will get buffered up
# into fewer transactions.
#
#federation_rr_transactions_per_room_per_second: 50
## Media Store ##
# Enable the media store service in the Synapse master. Uncomment the
# following if you are using a separate media store worker.
#
#enable_media_repo: false
# Directory where uploaded images and attachments are stored.
#
media_store_path: "DATADIR/media_store"
# Media storage providers allow media to be stored in different

# The largest allowed upload size in bytes
#
#max_upload_size: 50M
# Maximum number of pixels that will be thumbnailed
#
#max_image_pixels: 32M
# Whether to generate new thumbnails on the fly to precisely match
# the resolution requested by the client. If true then whenever
# a new resolution is requested by the client the server will
# generate a new thumbnail. If false the server will pick a thumbnail
# from a precalculated list.
#
#dynamic_thumbnails: false
# List of thumbnails to precalculate when an image is uploaded.
#

# Is the preview URL API enabled?
#
# 'false' by default: uncomment the following to enable it (and specify a
# url_preview_ip_range_blacklist blacklist).
#
#url_preview_enabled: true
# List of IP address CIDR ranges that the URL preview spider is denied
# from accessing. There are no defaults: you must explicitly
# specify a list for URL previewing to work. You should specify any
# internal services in your network that you do not want synapse to try
# to connect to, otherwise anyone in any Matrix room could cause your
# synapse to issue arbitrary GET requests to your internal services,
# causing serious security issues.
#
# (0.0.0.0 and :: are always blacklisted, whether or not they are explicitly
# listed here, since they correspond to unroutable addresses.)
#
# This must be specified if url_preview_enabled is set. It is recommended that
# you uncomment the following list as a starting point.
#
#url_preview_ip_range_blacklist:
# - '127.0.0.0/8'
# - '10.0.0.0/8'
# - '172.16.0.0/12'
# - '192.168.0.0/16'
# - '100.64.0.0/10'
# - '192.0.0.0/24'
# - '169.254.0.0/16'
# - '198.18.0.0/15'
# - '192.0.2.0/24'
# - '198.51.100.0/24'
# - '203.0.113.0/24'
# - '224.0.0.0/4'
# - '::1/128'
# - 'fe80::/10'
# - 'fc00::/7'
# List of IP address CIDR ranges that the URL preview spider is allowed
# to access even if they are specified in url_preview_ip_range_blacklist.
# This is useful for specifying exceptions to wide-ranging blacklisted
# target IP ranges - e.g. for enabling URL previews for a specific private
# website only visible in your network.
#
#url_preview_ip_range_whitelist:
# - '192.168.1.1'
# Optional list of URL matches that the URL preview spider is
# denied from accessing. You should use url_preview_ip_range_blacklist
# in preference to this, otherwise someone could define a public DNS
# entry that points to a private IP address and circumvent the blacklist.
# This is more useful if you know there is an entire shape of URL that
# you know that will never want synapse to try to spider.
#
# Each list entry is a dictionary of url component attributes as returned
# by urlparse.urlsplit as applied to the absolute form of the URL. See
# https://docs.python.org/2/library/urlparse.html#urlparse.urlsplit
# The values of the dictionary are treated as an filename match pattern
# applied to that component of URLs, unless they start with a ^ in which
# case they are treated as a regular expression match. If all the
# specified component matches for a given list item succeed, the URL is
# blacklisted.
#
#url_preview_url_blacklist:
# # blacklist any URL with a username in its URI
# - username: '*'
#
# # blacklist all *.google.com URLs
# - netloc: 'google.com'
# - netloc: '*.google.com'
#
# # blacklist all plain HTTP URLs
# - scheme: 'http'
#
# # blacklist http(s)://www.acme.com/foo
# - netloc: 'www.acme.com'
# path: '/foo'
#
# # blacklist any URL with a literal IPv4 address
# - netloc: '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$'
# The largest allowed URL preview spidering size in bytes
#
#max_spider_size: 10M
# A list of values for the Accept-Language HTTP header used when
# downloading webpages during URL preview generation. This allows
# Synapse to specify the preferred languages that URL previews should
# be in when communicating with remote servers.
#
# Each value is a IETF language tag; a 2-3 letter identifier for a
# language, optionally followed by subtags separated by '-', specifying
# a country or region variant.
#
# Multiple values can be provided, and a weight can be added to each by
# using quality value syntax (;q=). '*' translates to any language.
#
# Defaults to "en".
#
# Example:
#
# url_preview_accept_language:
# - en-UK
# - en-US;q=0.9
# - fr;q=0.8
# - *;q=0.7
#
url_preview_accept_language:

## Captcha ##
# See docs/CAPTCHA_SETUP.md for full details of configuring this.
# This homeserver's ReCAPTCHA public key. Must be specified if
# enable_registration_captcha is enabled.
#
#recaptcha_public_key: "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
# This homeserver's ReCAPTCHA private key. Must be specified if
# enable_registration_captcha is enabled.
#
#recaptcha_private_key: "YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"
# Uncomment to enable ReCaptcha checks when registering, preventing signup
# unless a captcha is answered. Requires a valid ReCaptcha
# public/private key. Defaults to 'false'.
#
#enable_registration_captcha: true
# The API endpoint to use for verifying m.login.recaptcha responses.
# Defaults to "https://www.recaptcha.net/recaptcha/api/siteverify".
#
#recaptcha_siteverify_api: "https://my.recaptcha.site"
## TURN ##
# The public URIs of the TURN server to give to clients
#
#turn_uris: []
# The shared secret used to compute passwords for the TURN server
#
#turn_shared_secret: "YOUR_SHARED_SECRET"
# The Username and password if the TURN server needs them and
# does not use a token
#
#turn_username: "TURNSERVER_USERNAME"
#turn_password: "TURNSERVER_PASSWORD"
# How long generated TURN credentials last
#
#turn_user_lifetime: 1h
# Whether guests should be allowed to use the TURN server.
# This defaults to True, otherwise VoIP will be unreliable for guests.
# However, it does introduce a slight security risk as it allows users to
# connect to arbitrary endpoints without having first signed up for a
# valid account (e.g. by passing a CAPTCHA).
#
#turn_allow_guests: true
## Registration ##
#
# Registration can be rate-limited using the parameters in the "Ratelimiting"
# section of this file.
# Enable registration for new users.
#
#enable_registration: false
# Optional account validity configuration. This allows for accounts to be denied
# any request after a given period.
#
# Once this feature is enabled, Synapse will look for registered users without an
# expiration date at startup and will add one to every account it found using the
# current settings at that time.
# This means that, if a validity period is set, and Synapse is restarted (it will
# then derive an expiration date from the current validity period), and some time
# after that the validity period changes and Synapse is restarted, the users'
# expiration dates won't be updated unless their account is manually renewed. This
# date will be randomly selected within a range [now + period - d ; now + period],
# where d is equal to 10% of the validity period.
#
account_validity:
# The account validity feature is disabled by default. Uncomment the
# following line to enable it.
#
#enabled: true
# The period after which an account is valid after its registration. When
# renewing the account, its validity period will be extended by this amount
# of time. This parameter is required when using the account validity
# feature.
#
#period: 6w
# The amount of time before an account's expiry date at which Synapse will
# send an email to the account's email address with a renewal link. By
# default, no such emails are sent.
#
# If you enable this setting, you will also need to fill out the 'email' and
# 'public_baseurl' configuration sections.
#
#renew_at: 1w
# The subject of the email sent out with the renewal link. '%(app)s' can be
# used as a placeholder for the 'app_name' parameter from the 'email'
# section.
#
# Note that the placeholder must be written '%(app)s', including the
# trailing 's'.
#
# If this is not set, a default value is used.
#
#renew_email_subject: "Renew your %(app)s account"
# Directory in which Synapse will try to find templates for the HTML files to
# serve to the user when trying to renew an account. If not set, default
# templates from within the Synapse package will be used.
#
#template_dir: "res/templates"
# File within 'template_dir' giving the HTML to be displayed to the user after
# they successfully renewed their account. If not set, default text is used.
#
#account_renewed_html_path: "account_renewed.html"
# File within 'template_dir' giving the HTML to be displayed when the user
# tries to renew an account with an invalid renewal token. If not set,
# default text is used.
#
#invalid_token_html_path: "invalid_token.html"
# Time that a user's session remains valid for, after they log in.
#
# Note that this is not currently compatible with guest logins.
#
# Note also that this is calculated at login time: changes are not applied
# retrospectively to users who have already logged in.
#
# By default, this is infinite.
#
#session_lifetime: 24h
# The user must provide all of the below types of 3PID when registering.
#
#registrations_require_3pid:
# - email
# - msisdn
# Explicitly disable asking for MSISDNs from the registration
# flow (overrides registrations_require_3pid if MSISDNs are set as required)
#
#disable_msisdn_registration: true
# Mandate that users are only allowed to associate certain formats of
# 3PIDs with accounts on this server.
#
#allowed_local_3pids:
# - medium: email
# pattern: '.*@matrix\.org'
# - medium: email
# pattern: '.*@vector\.im'
# - medium: msisdn
# pattern: '\+44'
# Enable 3PIDs lookup requests to identity servers from this server.
#
#enable_3pid_lookup: true
# If set, allows registration of standard or admin accounts by anyone who
# has the shared secret, even if registration is otherwise disabled.
#
#registration_shared_secret: <PRIVATE STRING>
# Set the number of bcrypt rounds used to generate password hash.
# Larger numbers increase the work factor needed to generate the hash.
# The default number is 12 (which equates to 2^12 rounds).
# N.B. that increasing this will exponentially increase the time required
# to register or login - e.g. 24 => 2^24 rounds which will take >20 mins.
#
#bcrypt_rounds: 12
# Allows users to register as guests without a password/email/etc, and
# participate in rooms hosted on this server which have been made
# accessible to anonymous users.
#
#allow_guest_access: false
# The identity server which we suggest that clients should use when users log
# in on this server.
#
# (By default, no suggestion is made, so it is left up to the client.
# This setting is ignored unless public_baseurl is also set.)
#
#default_identity_server: https://matrix.org
# Handle threepid (email/phone etc) registration and password resets through a set of
# *trusted* identity servers. Note that this allows the configured identity server to
# reset passwords for accounts!
#
# Be aware that if `email` is not set, and SMTP options have not been
# configured in the email config block, registration and user password resets via
# email will be globally disabled.
#
# Additionally, if `msisdn` is not set, registration and password resets via msisdn
# will be disabled regardless, and users will not be able to associate an msisdn
# identifier to their account. This is due to Synapse currently not supporting
# any method of sending SMS messages on its own.
#
# To enable using an identity server for operations regarding a particular third-party
# identifier type, set the value to the URL of that identity server as shown in the
# examples below.
#
# Servers handling the these requests must answer the `/requestToken` endpoints defined
# by the Matrix Identity Service API specification:
# https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/latest
#
# If a delegate is specified, the config option public_baseurl must also be filled out.

# Whether users can change the 3PIDs associated with their accounts
# (email address and msisdn).
#
# Defaults to 'true'
#
#enable_3pid_changes: false
# Users who register on this homeserver will automatically be joined
# to these rooms.
#
# By default, any room aliases included in this list will be created
# as a publicly joinable room when the first user registers for the
# homeserver. This behaviour can be customised with the settings below.
#
#auto_join_rooms:
# - "#example:example.com"
# Where auto_join_rooms are specified, setting this flag ensures that the
# the rooms exist by creating them when the first user on the
# homeserver registers.
#
# By default the auto-created rooms are publicly joinable from any federated
# server. Use the autocreate_auto_join_rooms_federated and
# autocreate_auto_join_room_preset settings below to customise this behaviour.
#
# Setting to false means that if the rooms are not manually created,
# users cannot be auto-joined since they do not exist.
#
# Defaults to true. Uncomment the following line to disable automatically
# creating auto-join rooms.
#
#autocreate_auto_join_rooms: false
# Whether the auto_join_rooms that are auto-created are available via
# federation. Only has an effect if autocreate_auto_join_rooms is true.
#
# Note that whether a room is federated cannot be modified after
# creation.
#
# Defaults to true: the room will be joinable from other servers.
# Uncomment the following to prevent users from other homeservers from
# joining these rooms.
#
#autocreate_auto_join_rooms_federated: false
# The room preset to use when auto-creating one of auto_join_rooms. Only has an
# effect if autocreate_auto_join_rooms is true.
#
# This can be one of "public_chat", "private_chat", or "trusted_private_chat".
# If a value of "private_chat" or "trusted_private_chat" is used then
# auto_join_mxid_localpart must also be configured.
#
# Defaults to "public_chat", meaning that the room is joinable by anyone, including
# federated servers if autocreate_auto_join_rooms_federated is true (the default).
# Uncomment the following to require an invitation to join these rooms.
#
#autocreate_auto_join_room_preset: private_chat
# The local part of the user id which is used to create auto_join_rooms if
# autocreate_auto_join_rooms is true. If this is not provided then the
# initial user account that registers will be used to create the rooms.
#
# The user id is also used to invite new users to any auto-join rooms which
# are set to invite-only.
#
# It *must* be configured if autocreate_auto_join_room_preset is set to
# "private_chat" or "trusted_private_chat".
#
# Note that this must be specified in order for new users to be correctly
# invited to any auto-join rooms which have been set to invite-only (either
# at the time of creation or subsequently).
#
# Note that, if the room already exists, this user must be joined and
# have the appropriate permissions to invite new members.
#
#auto_join_mxid_localpart: system
# When auto_join_rooms is specified, setting this flag to false prevents
# guest accounts from being automatically joined to the rooms.
#
# Defaults to true.
#
#auto_join_rooms_for_guests: false
## Metrics ###
# Enable collection and rendering of performance metrics
#
#enable_metrics: false
# Enable sentry integration
# NOTE: While attempts are made to ensure that the logs don't contain
# any sensitive information, this cannot be guaranteed. By enabling
# this option the sentry server may therefore receive sensitive
# information, and it in turn may then diseminate sensitive information
# through insecure notification channels if so configured.
#
#sentry:
# dsn: "..."
# Flags to enable Prometheus metrics which are not suitable to be
# enabled by default, either for performance reasons or limited use.
#
metrics_flags:
# Publish synapse_federation_known_servers, a gauge of the number of
# servers this homeserver knows about, including itself. May cause

#
#known_servers: true
# Whether or not to report anonymized homeserver usage statistics.
#
#report_stats: true|false
# The endpoint to report the anonymized homeserver usage statistics to.

## API Configuration ##
# A list of event types that will be included in the room_invite_state

# - "m.room.join_rules"
# - "m.room.canonical_alias"
# - "m.room.avatar"
# - "m.room.encryption"
# - "m.room.name"
# A list of application service config files to use
#
#app_service_config_files:
# - app_service_1.yaml
# - app_service_2.yaml
# Uncomment to enable tracking of application service IP addresses. Implicitly
# enables MAU tracking for application service users.
#
#track_appservice_user_ips: true
# a secret which is used to sign access tokens. If none is specified,
# the registration_shared_secret is used, if one is given; otherwise,
# a secret key is derived from the signing key.
#
#macaroon_secret_key: <PRIVATE STRING>
# a secret which is used to calculate HMACs for form values, to stop
# falsification of values. Must be specified for the User Consent
# forms to work.
#
#form_secret: <PRIVATE STRING>
## Signing Keys ##
# Path to the signing key to sign messages with
#
signing_key_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.signing.key"
# The keys that the server used to sign messages with but won't use
# to sign new messages.
#
old_signing_keys:
# For each key, `key` should be the base64-encoded public key, and
# `expired_ts`should be the time (in milliseconds since the unix epoch) that
# it was last used.
#
# It is possible to build an entry from an old signing.key file using the
# `export_signing_key` script which is provided with synapse.
#
# For example:
#
#"ed25519:id": { key: "base64string", expired_ts: 123456789123 }
# How long key response published by this server is valid for.
# Used to set the valid_until_ts in /key/v2 APIs.
# Determines how quickly servers will query to check which keys
# are still valid.
#
#key_refresh_interval: 1d
# The trusted servers to download signing keys from.
#
# When we need to fetch a signing key, each server is tried in parallel.
#
# Normally, the connection to the key server is validated via TLS certificates.
# Additional security can be provided by configuring a `verify key`, which
# will make synapse check that the response is signed by that key.
#
# This setting supercedes an older setting named `perspectives`. The old format
# is still supported for backwards-compatibility, but it is deprecated.
#
# 'trusted_key_servers' defaults to matrix.org, but using it will generate a
# warning on start-up. To suppress this warning, set
# 'suppress_key_server_warning' to true.
#
# Options for each entry in the list include:
#
# server_name: the name of the server. required.
#
# verify_keys: an optional map from key id to base64-encoded public key.
# If specified, we will check that the response is signed by at least
# one of the given keys.
#
# accept_keys_insecurely: a boolean. Normally, if `verify_keys` is unset,
# and federation_verify_certificates is not `true`, synapse will refuse
# to start, because this would allow anyone who can spoof DNS responses
# to masquerade as the trusted key server. If you know what you are doing
# and are sure that your network environment provides a secure connection
# to the key server, you can set this to `true` to override this
# behaviour.
#
# An example configuration might look like:
#
#trusted_key_servers:
# - server_name: "my_trusted_server.example.com"
# verify_keys:
# "ed25519:auto": "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmopqr"
# - server_name: "my_other_trusted_server.example.com"
#
trusted_key_servers:
- server_name: "matrix.org"
# Uncomment the following to disable the warning that is emitted when the
# trusted_key_servers include 'matrix.org'. See above.
#
#suppress_key_server_warning: true
# The signing keys to use when acting as a trusted key server. If not specified
# defaults to the server signing key.
#
# Can contain multiple keys, one per line.
#
#key_server_signing_keys_path: "key_server_signing_keys.key"
## Single sign-on integration ##
# The following settings can be used to make Synapse use a single sign-on
# provider for authentication, instead of its internal password database.
#
# You will probably also want to set the following options to `false` to
# disable the regular login/registration flows:
# * enable_registration
# * password_config.enabled
#
# You will also want to investigate the settings under the "sso" configuration
# section below.
# Enable SAML2 for registration and login. Uses pysaml2.
#
# At least one of `sp_config` or `config_path` must be set in this section to
# enable SAML login.
#
# Once SAML support is enabled, a metadata file will be exposed at
# https://<server>:<port>/_synapse/client/saml2/metadata.xml, which you may be able to
# use to configure your SAML IdP with. Alternatively, you can manually configure
# the IdP to use an ACS location of
# https://<server>:<port>/_synapse/client/saml2/authn_response.
#
saml2_config:
# `sp_config` is the configuration for the pysaml2 Service Provider.
# See pysaml2 docs for format of config.
#
# Default values will be used for the 'entityid' and 'service' settings,
# so it is not normally necessary to specify them unless you need to
# override them.
#
sp_config:
# Point this to the IdP's metadata. You must provide either a local
# file via the `local` attribute or (preferably) a URL via the
# `remote` attribute.
#
#metadata:
# local: ["saml2/idp.xml"]
# remote:
# - url: https://our_idp/metadata.xml
# Allowed clock difference in seconds between the homeserver and IdP.
#
# Uncomment the below to increase the accepted time difference from 0 to 3 seconds.
#
#accepted_time_diff: 3
# By default, the user has to go to our login page first. If you'd like
# to allow IdP-initiated login, set 'allow_unsolicited: true' in a
# 'service.sp' section:
#
#service:
# sp:
# allow_unsolicited: true
# The examples below are just used to generate our metadata xml, and you
# may well not need them, depending on your setup. Alternatively you
# may need a whole lot more detail - see the pysaml2 docs!

#
config:
# The SAML attribute (after mapping via the attribute maps) to use
# to derive the Matrix ID from. 'uid' by default.
#
# Note: This used to be configured by the
# saml2_config.mxid_source_attribute option. If that is still
# defined, its value will be used instead.
#
#mxid_source_attribute: displayName
# The mapping system to use for mapping the saml attribute onto a
# matrix ID.
#
# Options include:
# * 'hexencode' (which maps unpermitted characters to '=xx')
# * 'dotreplace' (which replaces unpermitted characters with
# '.').
# The default is 'hexencode'.
#
# Note: This used to be configured by the
# saml2_config.mxid_mapping option. If that is still defined, its
# value will be used instead.
#
#mxid_mapping: dotreplace
# In previous versions of synapse, the mapping from SAML attribute to
# MXID was always calculated dynamically rather than stored in a
# table. For backwards- compatibility, we will look for user_ids
# matching such a pattern before creating a new account.
#
# This setting controls the SAML attribute which will be used for this
# backwards-compatibility lookup. Typically it should be 'uid', but if
# the attribute maps are changed, it may be necessary to change it.
#
# The default is 'uid'.
#
#grandfathered_mxid_source_attribute: upn
# It is possible to configure Synapse to only allow logins if SAML attributes
# match particular values. The requirements can be listed under
# `attribute_requirements` as shown below. All of the listed attributes must
# match for the login to be permitted.
#
#attribute_requirements:
# - attribute: userGroup
# value: "staff"
# - attribute: department
# value: "sales"
# If the metadata XML contains multiple IdP entities then the `idp_entityid`
# option must be set to the entity to redirect users to.
#
# Most deployments only have a single IdP entity and so should omit this
# option.
#
#idp_entityid: 'https://our_idp/entityid'
# List of OpenID Connect (OIDC) / OAuth 2.0 identity providers, for registration
# and login.
#
# Options for each entry include:
#
# idp_id: a unique identifier for this identity provider. Used internally
# by Synapse; should be a single word such as 'github'.
#
# Note that, if this is changed, users authenticating via that provider
# will no longer be recognised as the same user!
#
# idp_name: A user-facing name for this identity provider, which is used to
# offer the user a choice of login mechanisms.
#
# idp_icon: An optional icon for this identity provider, which is presented
# by clients and Synapse's own IdP picker page. If given, must be an
# MXC URI of the format mxc://<server-name>/<media-id>. (An easy way to
# obtain such an MXC URI is to upload an image to an (unencrypted) room
# and then copy the "url" from the source of the event.)
#
# idp_brand: An optional brand for this identity provider, allowing clients
# to style the login flow according to the identity provider in question.
# See the spec for possible options here.
#
# discover: set to 'false' to disable the use of the OIDC discovery mechanism
# to discover endpoints. Defaults to true.
#
# issuer: Required. The OIDC issuer. Used to validate tokens and (if discovery
# is enabled) to discover the provider's endpoints.
#
# client_id: Required. oauth2 client id to use.
#
# client_secret: Required. oauth2 client secret to use.
#
# client_auth_method: auth method to use when exchanging the token. Valid
# values are 'client_secret_basic' (default), 'client_secret_post' and
# 'none'.
#
# scopes: list of scopes to request. This should normally include the "openid"
# scope. Defaults to ["openid"].
#
# authorization_endpoint: the oauth2 authorization endpoint. Required if
# provider discovery is disabled.
#
# token_endpoint: the oauth2 token endpoint. Required if provider discovery is
# disabled.
#
# userinfo_endpoint: the OIDC userinfo endpoint. Required if discovery is
# disabled and the 'openid' scope is not requested.
#
# jwks_uri: URI where to fetch the JWKS. Required if discovery is disabled and
# the 'openid' scope is used.
#
# skip_verification: set to 'true' to skip metadata verification. Use this if
# you are connecting to a provider that is not OpenID Connect compliant.
# Defaults to false. Avoid this in production.
#
# user_profile_method: Whether to fetch the user profile from the userinfo
# endpoint. Valid values are: 'auto' or 'userinfo_endpoint'.
#
# Defaults to 'auto', which fetches the userinfo endpoint if 'openid' is
# included in 'scopes'. Set to 'userinfo_endpoint' to always fetch the
# userinfo endpoint.
#
# allow_existing_users: set to 'true' to allow a user logging in via OIDC to
# match a pre-existing account instead of failing. This could be used if
# switching from password logins to OIDC. Defaults to false.
#
# user_mapping_provider: Configuration for how attributes returned from a OIDC
# provider are mapped onto a matrix user. This setting has the following
# sub-properties:
#
# module: The class name of a custom mapping module. Default is
# 'synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider'.
# See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/sso_mapping_providers.md#openid-mapping-providers
# for information on implementing a custom mapping provider.
#
# config: Configuration for the mapping provider module. This section will
# be passed as a Python dictionary to the user mapping provider
# module's `parse_config` method.
#
# For the default provider, the following settings are available:
#
# subject_claim: name of the claim containing a unique identifier
# for the user. Defaults to 'sub', which OpenID Connect
# compliant providers should provide.
#
# localpart_template: Jinja2 template for the localpart of the MXID.
# If this is not set, the user will be prompted to choose their
# own username (see 'sso_auth_account_details.html' in the 'sso'
# section of this file).
#
# display_name_template: Jinja2 template for the display name to set
# on first login. If unset, no displayname will be set.
#
# email_template: Jinja2 template for the email address of the user.
# If unset, no email address will be added to the account.
#
# extra_attributes: a map of Jinja2 templates for extra attributes
# to send back to the client during login.
# Note that these are non-standard and clients will ignore them
# without modifications.
#
# When rendering, the Jinja2 templates are given a 'user' variable,
# which is set to the claims returned by the UserInfo Endpoint and/or
# in the ID Token.
#
# See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/openid.md
# for information on how to configure these options.
#
# For backwards compatibility, it is also possible to configure a single OIDC
# provider via an 'oidc_config' setting. This is now deprecated and admins are
# advised to migrate to the 'oidc_providers' format. (When doing that migration,
# use 'oidc' for the idp_id to ensure that existing users continue to be

sso:
# A list of client URLs which are whitelisted so that the user does not
# have to confirm giving access to their account to the URL. Any client
# whose URL starts with an entry in the following list will not be subject
# to an additional confirmation step after the SSO login is completed.
#
# WARNING: An entry such as "https://my.client" is insecure, because it
# will also match "https://my.client.evil.site", exposing your users to
# phishing attacks from evil.site. To avoid this, include a slash after the
# hostname: "https://my.client/".
#
# If public_baseurl is set, then the login fallback page (used by clients

# Directory in which Synapse will try to find the template files below.
# If not set, or the files named below are not found within the template
# directory, default templates from within the Synapse package will be used.
#
# Synapse will look for the following templates in this directory:
#
# * HTML page to prompt the user to choose an Identity Provider during
# login: 'sso_login_idp_picker.html'.
#
# This is only used if multiple SSO Identity Providers are configured.
#
# When rendering, this template is given the following variables:
# * redirect_url: the URL that the user will be redirected to after
# login.
#
# * server_name: the homeserver's name.
#
# * providers: a list of available Identity Providers. Each element is
# an object with the following attributes:
#
# * idp_id: unique identifier for the IdP
# * idp_name: user-facing name for the IdP
# * idp_icon: if specified in the IdP config, an MXC URI for an icon
# for the IdP
# * idp_brand: if specified in the IdP config, a textual identifier
# for the brand of the IdP
#
# The rendered HTML page should contain a form which submits its results
# back as a GET request, with the following query parameters:
#
# * redirectUrl: the client redirect URI (ie, the `redirect_url` passed
# to the template)
#
# * idp: the 'idp_id' of the chosen IDP.
#
# * HTML page to prompt new users to enter a userid and confirm other
# details: 'sso_auth_account_details.html'. This is only shown if the
# SSO implementation (with any user_mapping_provider) does not return
# a localpart.
#
# When rendering, this template is given the following variables:
#
# * server_name: the homeserver's name.
#
# * idp: details of the SSO Identity Provider that the user logged in
# with: an object with the following attributes:

# we received from the IdP. May have the following attributes:
#
# * display_name: the user's display_name
# * emails: a list of email addresses
#
# The template should render a form which submits the following fields:
#
# * username: the localpart of the user's chosen user id
#
# * HTML page allowing the user to consent to the server's terms and
# conditions. This is only shown for new users, and only if
# `user_consent.require_at_registration` is set.
#
# When rendering, this template is given the following variables:
#
# * server_name: the homeserver's name.
#
# * user_id: the user's matrix proposed ID.

# (ie, 'consent_version' from the input variables).
#
# * HTML page for a confirmation step before redirecting back to the client
# with the login token: 'sso_redirect_confirm.html'.
#
# When rendering, this template is given the following variables:
#
# * redirect_url: the URL the user is about to be redirected to.
#
# * display_url: the same as `redirect_url`, but with the query
# parameters stripped. The intention is to have a
# human-readable URL to show to users, not to use it as

# * new_user: a boolean indicating whether this is the user's first time
# logging in.
#
# * user_id: the user's matrix ID.
#
# * user_profile.avatar_url: an MXC URI for the user's avatar, if any.

# has not set a display name.
#
# * HTML page which notifies the user that they are authenticating to confirm
# an operation on their account during the user interactive authentication
# process: 'sso_auth_confirm.html'.
#
# When rendering, this template is given the following variables:
# * redirect_url: the URL the user is about to be redirected to.
#
# * description: the operation which the user is being asked to confirm

# * HTML page shown after a successful user interactive authentication session:
# 'sso_auth_success.html'.
#
# Note that this page must include the JavaScript which notifies of a successful authentication
# (see https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.0#fallback).
#
# This template has no additional variables.
#
# * HTML page shown after a user-interactive authentication session which
# does not map correctly onto the expected user: 'sso_auth_bad_user.html'.
#
# When rendering, this template is given the following variables:
# * server_name: the homeserver's name.
# * user_id_to_verify: the MXID of the user that we are trying to

# Subjects for notification emails.
#
# On top of the '%(app)s' placeholder, these can use the following
# placeholders:
#
# * '%(person)s', which will be replaced by the display name of the user(s)
# that sent the message(s), e.g. "Alice and Bob".
# * '%(room)s', which will be replaced by the name of the room the
# message(s) have been sent to, e.g. "My super room".
#
# See the example provided for each setting to see which placeholder can be
# used and how to use them.
#
# Subject to use to notify about one message from one or more user(s) in a
# room which has a name.
#message_from_person_in_room: "[%(app)s] You have a message on %(app)s from %(person)s in the %(room)s room..."

## Push ##
push:
# Clients requesting push notifications can either have the body of
# the message sent in the notification poke along with other details
# like the sender, or just the event ID and room ID (`event_id_only`).
# If clients choose the former, this option controls whether the
# notification request includes the content of the event (other details
# like the sender are still included). For `event_id_only` push, it
# has no effect.
#
# For modern android devices the notification content will still appear
# because it is loaded by the app. iPhone, however will send a
# notification saying only that a message arrived and who it came from.
#
# The default value is "true" to include message details. Uncomment to only
# include the event ID and room ID in push notification payloads.
#
#include_content: false
# When a push notification is received, an unread count is also sent.
# This number can either be calculated as the number of unread messages
# for the user, or the number of *rooms* the user has unread messages in.
#
# The default value is "true", meaning push clients will see the number of
# rooms with unread messages in them. Uncomment to instead send the number
# of unread messages.
#
#group_unread_count_by_room: false
# Spam checkers are third-party modules that can block specific actions

## Rooms ##
# Controls whether locally-created rooms should be end-to-end encrypted by
# default.
#
# Possible options are "all", "invite", and "off". They are defined as:
#
# * "all": any locally-created room
# * "invite": any room created with the "private_chat" or "trusted_private_chat"
# room creation presets
# * "off": this option will take no effect
#
# The default value is "off".
#
# Note that this option will only affect rooms created after it is set. It
# will also not affect rooms created by other servers.

# User Directory configuration
#
# 'enabled' defines whether users can search the user directory. If
# false then empty responses are returned to all queries. Defaults to
# true.
#
# 'search_all_users' defines whether to search all users visible to your HS
# when searching the user directory, rather than limiting to users visible
# in public rooms. Defaults to false. If you set it True, you'll have to
# rebuild the user_directory search indexes, see

# User Consent configuration
#
# for detailed instructions, see
# https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/consent_tracking.md
#
# Parts of this section are required if enabling the 'consent' resource under
# 'listeners', in particular 'template_dir' and 'version'.
#
# 'template_dir' gives the location of the templates for the HTML forms.
# This directory should contain one subdirectory per language (eg, 'en', 'fr'),
# and each language directory should contain the policy document (named as
# '<version>.html') and a success page (success.html).
#
# 'version' specifies the 'current' version of the policy document. It defines
# the version to be served by the consent resource if there is no 'v'
# parameter.
#
# 'server_notice_content', if enabled, will send a user a "Server Notice"
# asking them to consent to the privacy policy. The 'server_notices' section
# must also be configured for this to work. Notices will *not* be sent to
# guest users unless 'send_server_notice_to_guests' is set to true.
#
# 'block_events_error', if set, will block any attempts to send events
# until the user consents to the privacy policy. The value of the setting is
# used as the text of the error.
#
# 'require_at_registration', if enabled, will add a step to the registration
# process, similar to how captcha works. Users will be required to accept the
# policy before their account is created.
#
# 'policy_name' is the display name of the policy users will see when registering
# for an account. Has no effect unless `require_at_registration` is enabled.
# Defaults to "Privacy Policy".

# Local statistics collection. Used in populating the room directory.
#
# 'bucket_size' controls how large each statistics timeslice is. It can
# be defined in a human readable short form -- e.g. "1d", "1y".

# Server Notices room configuration
#
# Uncomment this section to enable a room which can be used to send notices
# from the server to users. It is a special room which cannot be left; notices
# come from a special "notices" user id.
#
# If you uncomment this section, you *must* define the system_mxid_localpart
# setting, which defines the id of the user which will be used to send the
# notices.
#
# It's also possible to override the room name, the display name of the
# "notices" user, and the avatar for the user.
#
#server_notices:
# system_mxid_localpart: notices
# system_mxid_display_name: "Server Notices"
# system_mxid_avatar_url: "mxc://server.com/oumMVlgDnLYFaPVkExemNVVZ"
# room_name: "Server Notices"
# Uncomment to disable searching the public room list. When disabled
# blocks searching local and remote room lists for local and remote
# users by always returning an empty list for all queries.
#
#enable_room_list_search: false
# The `alias_creation` option controls who's allowed to create aliases
# on this server.
#
# The format of this option is a list of rules that contain globs that
# match against user_id, room_id and the new alias (fully qualified with
# server name). The action in the first rule that matches is taken,
# which can currently either be "allow" or "deny".
#
# Missing user_id/room_id/alias fields default to "*".
#
# If no rules match the request is denied. An empty list means no one
# can create aliases.
#
# Options for the rules include:
#
# user_id: Matches against the creator of the alias
# alias: Matches against the alias being created
# room_id: Matches against the room ID the alias is being pointed at
# action: Whether to "allow" or "deny" the request if the rule matches
#
# The default is:
#
#alias_creation_rules:
# - user_id: "*"
# alias: "*"
# room_id: "*"
# action: allow
# The `room_list_publication_rules` option controls who can publish and
# which rooms can be published in the public room list.
#
# The format of this option is the same as that for
# `alias_creation_rules`.
#
# If the room has one or more aliases associated with it, only one of
# the aliases needs to match the alias rule. If there are no aliases
# then only rules with `alias: *` match.
#
# If no rules match the request is denied. An empty list means no one
# can publish rooms.
#
# Options for the rules include:
#
# user_id: Matches against the creator of the alias
# room_id: Matches against the room ID being published
# alias: Matches against any current local or canonical aliases
# associated with the room
# action: Whether to "allow" or "deny" the request if the rule matches
#
# The default is:
#
#room_list_publication_rules:
# - user_id: "*"
# alias: "*"
# room_id: "*"
# action: allow
# Server admins can define a Python module that implements extra rules for
# allowing or denying incoming events. In order to work, this module needs to
# override the methods defined in synapse/events/third_party_rules.py.
#
# This feature is designed to be used in closed federations only, where each
# participating server enforces the same rules.

## Opentracing ##
# These settings enable opentracing, which implements distributed tracing.
# This allows you to observe the causal chains of events across servers
# including requests, key lookups etc., across any server running
# synapse or any other other services which supports opentracing
# (specifically those implemented with Jaeger).
#
opentracing:
# tracing is disabled by default. Uncomment the following line to enable it.
#
#enabled: true
# The list of homeservers we wish to send and receive span contexts and span baggage.
# See docs/opentracing.rst
# This is a list of regexes which are matched against the server_name of the
# homeserver.
#
# By default, it is empty, so no servers are matched.
#
#homeserver_whitelist:
# - ".*"
# Jaeger can be configured to sample traces at different rates.
# All configuration options provided by Jaeger can be set here.

## Workers ##
# Disables sending of outbound federation transactions on the main process.
# Uncomment if using a federation sender worker.
#
#send_federation: false
# It is possible to run multiple federation sender workers, in which case the
# work is balanced across them.
#
# This configuration must be shared between all federation sender workers, and if
# changed all federation sender workers must be stopped at the same time and then
# started, to ensure that all instances are running with the same config (otherwise
# events may be dropped).
#
#federation_sender_instances:
# - federation_sender1
# When using workers this should be a map from `worker_name` to the
# HTTP replication listener of the worker, if configured.
#
#instance_map:
# worker1:
# host: localhost
# port: 8034
# Experimental: When using workers you can define which workers should
# handle event persistence and typing notifications. Any worker
# specified here must also be in the `instance_map`.
#
#stream_writers:
# events: worker1
# typing: worker1
# The worker that is used to run background tasks (e.g. cleaning up expired
# data). If not provided this defaults to the main process.
#
