The homeserver configuration file can be tweaked to change the behaviour of your homeserver. A restart of the server is generally required to apply any changes made to this file.</p> <p>Note that the contents below are <em>not</em> 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 <a href="../../setup/installation.html">Installation</a>.</p> <pre><code class="language-yaml"># 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 # https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html. # 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 ## Modules ## # Server admins can expand Synapse's functionality with external modules. # # See https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/modules/index.html for more # documentation on how to configure or create custom modules for Synapse. # modules: #- module: my_super_module.MySuperClass # config: # do_thing: true #- module: my_other_super_module.SomeClass # config: {} ## 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://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/delegate.html # 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 / will redirect to. # #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). # # Defaults to 'https://<server_name>/'. # #public_baseurl: https://example.com/ # Uncomment the following to tell other servers to send federation traffic on # port 443. # # By default, other servers will try to reach our server on port 8448, which can # be inconvenient in some environments. # # Provided 'https://<server_name>/' on port 443 is routed to Synapse, this # option configures Synapse to serve a file at # 'https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server'. This will tell other # servers to send traffic to port 443 instead. # # See https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/delegate.html for more # information. # # Defaults to 'false'. # #serve_server_wellknown: true # 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 # Presence tracking allows users to see the state (e.g online/offline) # of other local and remote users. # presence: # Uncomment to disable presence tracking on this homeserver. This option # replaces the previous top-level 'use_presence' option. # #enabled: 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, unless allow_profile_lookup_over_federation is set to false. # #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 # Uncomment to prevent a user's profile data from being retrieved and # displayed in a room until they have joined it. By default, a user's # profile data is included in an invite event, regardless of the values # of the above two settings, and whether or not the users share a server. # Defaults to 'true'. # #include_profile_data_on_invite: false # 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: # https://spec.matrix.org/latest/rooms/#complete-list-of-room-versions # # For example, for room version 1, default_room_version should be set # to "1". # #default_room_version: "9" # The GC threshold parameters to pass to `gc.set_threshold`, if defined # #gc_thresholds: [700, 10, 10] # The minimum time in seconds between each GC for a generation, regardless of # the GC thresholds. This ensures that we don't do GC too frequently. # # A value of `[1s, 10s, 30s]` indicates that a second must pass between consecutive # generation 0 GCs, etc. # # Defaults to `[1s, 10s, 30s]`. # #gc_min_interval: [0.5s, 30s, 1m] # 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. # # Note: The value is ignored when an HTTP proxy is in use # #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' # - '192.88.99.0/24' # - '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' # - '2001:db8::/32' # - 'ff00::/8' # - 'fec0::/10' # List of IP address CIDR ranges that should be allowed for federation, # identity servers, push servers, and for checking key validity for # third-party invite events. This is useful for specifying exceptions to # wide-ranging blacklisted target IP ranges - e.g. for communication with # a push server only visible in your network. # # This whitelist overrides ip_range_blacklist and defaults to an empty # list. # #ip_range_whitelist: # - '192.168.1.1' # 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 https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/manhole.html), # 'metrics' (see https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/metrics-howto.html), # 'replication' (see https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/workers.html). # # 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 https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/consent_tracking.html. # # 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 https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/metrics-howto.html. # # openid: OpenID authentication. # # replication: the HTTP replication API (/_synapse/replication). # See https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/workers.html. # # static: static resources under synapse/static (/_matrix/static).

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.

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 ## 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. # # 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`). # #tls_certificate_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.tls.crt" # 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`.
