+# 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.

+# 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.

+## 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

+  #    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).

+
+# Uncomment the following to tell other servers to send federation traffic on

+#
+# By default, other servers will try to reach our server on port 8448, which can

+#
+# Provided 'https://<server_name>/' on port 443 is routed to Synapse, this
+# option configures Synapse to serve a file at

+# If this feature is enabled, Synapse will regularly look for and purge events

+  # '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).

+## Federation ##
+
+# Restrict federation to the following whitelist of domains.

+## 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:

+  #
+  #expire_caches: false
+
+  # If expire_caches is enabled, this flag controls how long an entry can
+  # be in a cache without having been accessed before being evicted.
+  # Defaults to 30m. Uncomment to set a different time to live for cache entries.
+  #
+  #cache_entry_ttl: 30m
+
+  # Controls how long the results of a /sync request are cached for after
+  # a successful response is returned. A higher duration can help clients with
+  # intermittent connections, at the cost of higher memory usage.

+## Database ##
+
+# The 'database' setting defines the database that synapse uses to store all of
+# its data.
+#
+# 'name' gives the database engine to use: either 'sqlite3' (for SQLite) or
+# 'psycopg2' (for PostgreSQL).
+#
+# 'txn_limit' gives the maximum number of transactions to run per connection
+# before reconnecting. Defaults to 0, which means no limit.
+#
+# 'args' gives options which are passed through to the database engine,
+# except for options starting 'cp_', which are used to configure the Twisted
+# connection pool. For a reference to valid arguments, see:
+#   * for sqlite: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.connect

+
+
+## 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 checking the validity of registration tokens that ratelimits
+#     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.
+#   - one for ratelimiting 3PID invites (i.e. invites sent to a third-party ID
+#     such as an email address or a phone number) based on the account that's
+#     sending the invite.
+#
+# The defaults are as shown below.

+# 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

+
+# 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"

+#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"]

+    #
+    # 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

+#       Note that, if this is changed, users authenticating via that provider
+#       will no longer be recognised as the same user!
+#
+#       (Use "oidc" here if you are migrating from an old "oidc_config"
+#       configuration.)
+#
+#   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

+#
+#   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: oauth2 client secret to use. May be omitted if
+#        client_secret_jwt_key is given, or if client_auth_method is 'none'.

+#      given, must be a dictionary with the following properties:
+#
+#          key: a pem-encoded signing key. Must be a suitable key for the
+#              algorithm specified. Required unless 'key_file' is given.
+#
+#          key_file: the path to file containing a pem-encoded signing key file.
+#              Required unless 'key' is given.
+#
+#          jwt_header: a dictionary giving properties to include in the JWT
+#              header. Must include the key 'alg', giving the algorithm used to
+#              sign the JWT, such as "ES256", using the JWA identifiers in
+#              RFC7518.
+#
+#          jwt_payload: an optional dictionary giving properties to include in
+#              the JWT payload. Normally this should include an 'iss' key.
+#
+#   client_auth_method: auth method to use when exchanging the token. Valid
+#       values are 'client_secret_basic' (default), 'client_secret_post' and

+#
+#   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, or to rely on the data returned in the id_token from the
+#       token_endpoint.
+#
+#       Valid values are: 'auto' or 'userinfo_endpoint'.
+#
+#       Defaults to 'auto', which uses the userinfo endpoint if 'openid' is
+#       not included in 'scopes'. Set to 'userinfo_endpoint' to always use 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

+#           See https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/sso_mapping_providers.html#openid-mapping-providers

+#
+#       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.
+#
+#   It is possible to configure Synapse to only allow logins if certain attributes
+#   match particular values in the OIDC userinfo. The requirements can be listed under
+#   `attribute_requirements` as shown below. All of the listed attributes must
+#   match for the login to be permitted. Additional attributes can be added to
+#   userinfo by expanding the `scopes` section of the OIDC config to retrieve
+#   additional information from the OIDC provider.
+#
+#   If the OIDC claim is a list, then the attribute must match any value in the list.
+#   Otherwise, it must exactly match the value of the claim. Using the example
+#   below, the `family_name` claim MUST be "Stephensson", but the `groups`
+#   claim MUST contain "admin".
+#
+#   attribute_requirements:
+#     - attribute: family_name
+#       value: "Stephensson"
+#     - attribute: groups
+#       value: "admin"
+#
+# See https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/openid.html
+# 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
+# recognised.)
