No other environment variable is required. - -Otherwise, a dynamic configuration file will be used. The following environment -variables are available for configuration: - -* ``SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME`` (mandatory), the current server public hostname. -* ``SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS``, (mandatory, ``yes`` or ``no``), enable anonymous - statistics reporting back to the Matrix project which helps us to get funding. -* ``SYNAPSE_NO_TLS``, set this variable to disable TLS in Synapse (use this if - you run your own TLS-capable reverse proxy). -* ``SYNAPSE_ENABLE_REGISTRATION``, set this variable to enable registration on - the Synapse instance. -* ``SYNAPSE_ALLOW_GUEST``, set this variable to allow guest joining this server. -* ``SYNAPSE_EVENT_CACHE_SIZE``, the event cache size [default `10K`]. -* ``SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR``, the cache factor [default `0.5`]. -* ``SYNAPSE_RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY``, set this variable to the recaptcha public - key in order to enable recaptcha upon registration. -* ``SYNAPSE_RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY``, set this variable to the recaptcha private - key in order to enable recaptcha upon registration. -* ``SYNAPSE_TURN_URIS``, set this variable to the coma-separated list of TURN - uris to enable TURN for this homeserver. -* ``SYNAPSE_TURN_SECRET``, set this to the TURN shared secret if required. - -Shared secrets, that will be initialized to random values if not set: - -* ``SYNAPSE_REGISTRATION_SHARED_SECRET``, secret for registrering users if - registration is disable. -* ``SYNAPSE_MACAROON_SECRET_KEY`` secret for signing access tokens - to the server. - -Database specific values (will use SQLite if not set): - -* `POSTGRES_DB` - The database name for the synapse postgres database. [default: `synapse`] -* `POSTGRES_HOST` - The host of the postgres database if you wish to use postgresql instead of sqlite3. [default: `db` which is useful when using a container on the same docker network in a compose file where the postgres service is called `db`] -* `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` - The password for the synapse postgres database. **If this is set then postgres will be used instead of sqlite3.** [default: none] **NOTE**: You are highly encouraged to use postgresql! Please use the compose file to make it easier to deploy. -* `POSTGRES_USER` - The user for the synapse postgres database. [default: `matrix`] - -Mail server specific values (will not send emails if not set): +### More information -* ``SYNAPSE_SMTP_HOST``, hostname to the mail server. -* ``SYNAPSE_SMTP_PORT``, TCP port for accessing the mail server [default ``25``]. -* ``SYNAPSE_SMTP_USER``, username for authenticating against the mail server if any. -* ``SYNAPSE_SMTP_PASSWORD``, password for authenticating against the mail server if any. +For more information on required environment variables and mounts, see the main docker documentation at [/docker/README.md](../../docker/README.md) |
