        What version of Synapse is this homeserver running?

        You can find the Synapse version by visiting https://yourserver.example.com/_matrix/federation/v1/version

        or with this command:

        ```
        $ curl http://localhost:8008/_synapse/admin/v1/server_version
        ```

        (You may need to replace `localhost:8008` if Synapse is not configured to listen on that port.)
