 To configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port, you will need to edit
-`homeserver.yaml`.
-
-First, under the `listeners` section, uncomment the configuration for the
-TLS-enabled listener. (Remove the hash sign (`#`) and space at the start of
-each line). The relevant lines are like this:
-
-```
-  - port: 8448
-    type: http
-    tls: true
-    resources:
-      - names: [client, federation]
-```
-
-You will also need to uncomment the `tls_certificate_path` and
-`tls_private_key_path` lines under the `TLS` section. You can either point
-these settings at an existing certificate and key, or you can enable Synapse's
-built-in ACME (Let's Encrypt) support.  Instructions for having Synapse
-automatically provision and renew federation certificates through ACME can be
-found at [ACME.md](docs/ACME.md).
