+# CPU affinity mask. Setting this restricts the CPUs on which the
+# process will be scheduled. It is represented as a bitmask, with the
+# lowest order bit corresponding to the first logical CPU and the
+# highest order bit corresponding to the last logical CPU. Not all CPUs
+# may exist on a given system but a mask may specify more CPUs than are
+# present.
+#
+# For example:
+# 0x00000001 is processor #0,
+# 0x00000003 is processors #0 and #1,
+# 0xFFFFFFFF is all processors (#0 through #31).
+#
+# Pinning a Python process to a single CPU is desirable, because Python
+# is inherently single-threaded due to the GIL, and can suffer a
+# 30-40% slowdown due to cache blow-out and thread context switching
+# if the scheduler happens to schedule the underlying threads across
+# different cores. See

+## 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.
+#
+# See 'ACME support' below to enable auto-provisioning this certificate via
+# Let's Encrypt.
+#
+#tls_certificate_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.tls.crt"
+
+# PEM-encoded private key for TLS
+#
+#tls_private_key_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.tls.key"
+
+# ACME support: This will configure Synapse to request a valid TLS certificate
+# for your configured `server_name` via Let's Encrypt.
+#
+# Note that provisioning a certificate in this way requires port 80 to be
+# routed to Synapse so that it can complete the http-01 ACME challenge.
+# By default, if you enable ACME support, Synapse will attempt to listen on
+# port 80 for incoming http-01 challenges - however, this will likely fail
+# with 'Permission denied' or a similar error.
+#
+# There are a couple of potential solutions to this:
+#
+# * If you already have an Apache, Nginx, or similar listening on port 80,
+# you can configure Synapse to use an alternate port, and have your web
+# server forward the requests. For example, assuming you set 'port: 8009'
+# below, on Apache, you would write:
+#
+# ProxyPass /.well-known/acme-challenge http://localhost:8009/.well-known/acme-challenge
+#
+# * Alternatively, you can use something like `authbind` to give Synapse
+# permission to listen on port 80.
+#
+acme:
+ # ACME support is disabled by default. Uncomment the following line
+ # (and tls_certificate_path and tls_private_key_path above) to enable it.
+ #
+ #enabled: true
+
+ # Endpoint to use to request certificates. If you only want to test,
+ # use Let's Encrypt's staging url:
+ # https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
+ #
+ #url: https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
+
+ # Port number to listen on for the HTTP-01 challenge. Change this if
+ # you are forwarding connections through Apache/Nginx/etc.

+
+ # The domain that the certificate should be for. Normally this
+ # should be the same as your Matrix domain (i.e., 'server_name'), but,
+ # by putting a file at 'https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server',
+ # you can delegate incoming traffic to another server. If you do that,
+ # you should give the target of the delegation here.
+ #
+ # For example: if your 'server_name' is 'example.com', but
+ # 'https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server' delegates to
+ # 'matrix.example.com', you should put 'matrix.example.com' here.
+ #
+ # If not set, defaults to your 'server_name'.
+ #
+ #domain: matrix.example.com
+
+# List of allowed TLS fingerprints for this server to publish along
+# with the signing keys for this server. Other matrix servers that
+# make HTTPS requests to this server will check that the TLS
+# certificates returned by this server match one of the fingerprints.
+#
+# Synapse automatically adds the fingerprint of its own certificate
+# to the list. So if federation traffic is handled directly by synapse
+# then no modification to the list is required.
+#
+# If synapse is run behind a load balancer that handles the TLS then it
+# will be necessary to add the fingerprints of the certificates used by
+# the loadbalancers to this list if they are different to the one
+# synapse is using.
+#
+# Homeservers are permitted to cache the list of TLS fingerprints
+# returned in the key responses up to the "valid_until_ts" returned in
+# key. It may be necessary to publish the fingerprints of a new
+# certificate and wait until the "valid_until_ts" of the previous key
+# responses have passed before deploying it.
+#
+# You can calculate a fingerprint from a given TLS listener via:
+# openssl s_client -connect $host:$port < /dev/null 2> /dev/null |
+# openssl x509 -outform DER | openssl sha256 -binary | base64 | tr -d '='
+# or by checking matrix.org/federationtester/api/report?server_name=$host
+#
+#tls_fingerprints: [{"sha256": "<base64_encoded_sha256_fingerprint>"}]

+# for detailed instructions, see

+#
+# Parts of this section are required if enabling the 'consent' resource under
+# 'listeners', in particular 'template_dir' and 'version'.
+#
+# 'template_dir' gives the location of the templates for the HTML forms.
+# This directory should contain one subdirectory per language (eg, 'en', 'fr'),
+# and each language directory should contain the policy document (named as
+# '<version>.html') and a success page (success.html).
+#
+# 'version' specifies the 'current' version of the policy document. It defines
+# the version to be served by the consent resource if there is no 'v'
+# parameter.
+#
+# 'server_notice_content', if enabled, will send a user a "Server Notice"
+# asking them to consent to the privacy policy. The 'server_notices' section
+# must also be configured for this to work. Notices will *not* be sent to
+# guest users unless 'send_server_notice_to_guests' is set to true.
+#
+# 'block_events_error', if set, will block any attempts to send events
+# until the user consents to the privacy policy. The value of the setting is
+# used as the text of the error.
+#
+# 'require_at_registration', if enabled, will add a step to the registration
+# process, similar to how captcha works. Users will be required to accept the
+# policy before their account is created.
+#
+# 'policy_name' is the display name of the policy users will see when registering
+# for an account. Has no effect unless `require_at_registration` is enabled.
+# Defaults to "Privacy Policy".

+# Server Notices room configuration
+#
+# Uncomment this section to enable a room which can be used to send notices
+# from the server to users. It is a special room which cannot be left; notices
+# come from a special "notices" user id.
+#
+# If you uncomment this section, you *must* define the system_mxid_localpart
+# setting, which defines the id of the user which will be used to send the
+# notices.
+#
+# It's also possible to override the room name, the display name of the
+# "notices" user, and the avatar for the user.

+
+# The `alias_creation` option controls who's allowed to create aliases
+# on this server.
+#
+# The format of this option is a list of rules that contain globs that
+# match against user_id, room_id and the new alias (fully qualified with
+# server name). The action in the first rule that matches is taken,
+# which can currently either be "allow" or "deny".
+#
+# Missing user_id/room_id/alias fields default to "*".
+#
+# If no rules match the request is denied. An empty list means no one
+# can create aliases.
+#
+# Options for the rules include:
+#
+# user_id: Matches against the creator of the alias
+# alias: Matches against the alias being created
+# room_id: Matches against the room ID the alias is being pointed at
+# action: Whether to "allow" or "deny" the request if the rule matches
+#
+# The default is:
+#
+#alias_creation_rules:
+# - user_id: "*"
+# alias: "*"
+# room_id: "*"
+# action: allow
+
+# The `room_list_publication_rules` option controls who can publish and
+# which rooms can be published in the public room list.
+#
+# The format of this option is the same as that for
+# `alias_creation_rules`.
+#
+# If the room has one or more aliases associated with it, only one of
+# the aliases needs to match the alias rule. If there are no aliases
+# then only rules with `alias: *` match.
+#
+# If no rules match the request is denied. An empty list means no one
+# can publish rooms.
+#
+# Options for the rules include:
+#
+# user_id: Matches agaisnt the creator of the alias
+# room_id: Matches against the room ID being published
+# alias: Matches against any current local or canonical aliases
+# associated with the room
+# action: Whether to "allow" or "deny" the request if the rule matches
+#
+# The default is:
+#
+#room_list_publication_rules:
+# - user_id: "*"
