sample_config.yaml

# 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 INSTALL.md.

## Server ##

# The domain name of the server, with optional explicit port.
# This is used by remote servers to connect to this server,
# e.g. matrix.org, localhost:8080, etc.
# This is also the last part of your UserID.
#
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 /_matrix/client will redirect
# to if 'webclient' is configured under the 'listeners' configuration.
#
# This option can be also set to the filesystem path to the web client
# which will be served at /_matrix/client/ if 'webclient' is configured
# under the 'listeners' configuration, however this is a security risk:
# https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#security-note
#
#web_client_location: https://riot.example.com/

# The public-facing base URL that clients use to access this HS
# (not including _matrix/...). This is the same URL a user would
# enter into the 'custom HS URL' field on their client. If you
# use synapse with a reverse proxy, this should be the URL to reach
# synapse via the proxy.
#
#public_baseurl: https://example.com/

# Set the soft limit on the number of file descriptors synapse can use
# Zero is used to indicate synapse should set the soft limit to the
# hard limit.
#
#soft_file_limit: 0

# Set to false to disable presence tracking on this homeserver.
#
#use_presence: false

# Whether to require authentication to retrieve profile data (avatars,
# display names) of other users through the client API. Defaults to
# 'false'. Note that profile data is also available via the federation
# API, so this setting is of limited value if federation is enabled on
# the server.
#
#require_auth_for_profile_requests: true

# Uncomment to require a user to share a room with another user in order
# to retrieve their profile information. Only checked on Client-Server
# requests. Profile requests from other servers should be checked by the
# requesting server. Defaults to 'false'.
#
#limit_profile_requests_to_users_who_share_rooms: true

# If set to 'true', removes the need for authentication to access the server's
# public rooms directory through the client API, meaning that anyone can
# query the room directory. Defaults to 'false'.
#
#allow_public_rooms_without_auth: true

# If set to 'true', allows any other homeserver to fetch the server's public
# rooms directory via federation. Defaults to 'false'.
#
#allow_public_rooms_over_federation: true

# The default room version for newly created rooms.
#
# Known room versions are listed here:

# For example, for room version 1, default_room_version should be set
# to "1".
#
#default_room_version: "5"

# The GC threshold parameters to pass to `gc.set_threshold`, if defined
#
#gc_thresholds: [700, 10, 10]

# Set the limit on the returned events in the timeline in the get
# and sync operations. The default value is -1, means no upper limit.
#
#filter_timeline_limit: 5000

# Whether room invites to users on this server should be blocked
# (except those sent by local server admins). The default is False.
#
#block_non_admin_invites: true

# Room searching
#
# If disabled, new messages will not be indexed for searching and users
# will receive errors when searching for messages. Defaults to enabled.
#
#enable_search: false

# Restrict federation to the following whitelist of domains.
# N.B. we recommend also firewalling your federation listener to limit
# inbound federation traffic as early as possible, rather than relying
# purely on this application-layer restriction.  If not specified, the
# default is to whitelist everything.

# specified with an empty list, no ip range blacklist will be enforced.
#
# As of Synapse v1.4.0 this option also affects any outbound requests to identity
# servers provided by user input.
#
# (0.0.0.0 and :: are always blacklisted, whether or not they are explicitly
# listed here, since they correspond to unroutable addresses.)

# List of ports that Synapse should listen on, their purpose and their
# configuration.
#
# Options for each listener include:
#
#   port: the TCP port to bind to
#
#   bind_addresses: a list of local addresses to listen on. The default is
#       'all local interfaces'.
#
#   type: the type of listener. Normally 'http', but other valid options are:
#       'manhole' (see docs/manhole.md),
#       'metrics' (see docs/metrics-howto.md),
#       'replication' (see docs/workers.md).
#
#   tls: set to true to enable TLS for this listener. Will use the TLS
#       key/cert specified in tls_private_key_path / tls_certificate_path.
#
#   x_forwarded: Only valid for an 'http' listener. Set to true to use the
#       X-Forwarded-For header as the client IP. Useful when Synapse is
#       behind a reverse-proxy.
#
#   resources: Only valid for an 'http' listener. A list of resources to host
#       on this port. Options for each resource are:
#
#       names: a list of names of HTTP resources. See below for a list of
#           valid resource names.
#
#       compress: set to true to enable HTTP comression for this resource.
#
#   additional_resources: Only valid for an 'http' listener. A map of
#        additional endpoints which should be loaded via dynamic modules.
#
# Valid resource names are:
#
#   client: the client-server API (/_matrix/client), and the synapse admin
#       API (/_synapse/admin). Also implies 'media' and 'static'.
#
#   consent: user consent forms (/_matrix/consent). See

#
#   static: static resources under synapse/static (/_matrix/static). (Mostly
#       useful for 'fallback authentication'.)
#
#   webclient: A web client. Requires web_client_location to be set.
#
listeners:
  # TLS-enabled listener: for when matrix traffic is sent directly to synapse.

## Homeserver blocking ##

# How to reach the server admin, used in ResourceLimitError
#
#admin_contact: 'mailto:admin@server.com'

# Global blocking
#
#hs_disabled: false
#hs_disabled_message: 'Human readable reason for why the HS is blocked'

# Monthly Active User Blocking
#
# Used in cases where the admin or server owner wants to limit to the
# number of monthly active users.
#
# 'limit_usage_by_mau' disables/enables monthly active user blocking. When
# anabled and a limit is reached the server returns a 'ResourceLimitError'
# with error type Codes.RESOURCE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
#
# 'max_mau_value' is the hard limit of monthly active users above which
# the server will start blocking user actions.
#
# 'mau_trial_days' is a means to add a grace period for active users. It
# means that users must be active for this number of days before they
# can be considered active and guards against the case where lots of users
# sign up in a short space of time never to return after their initial
# session.
#
# 'mau_limit_alerting' is a means of limiting client side alerting
# should the mau limit be reached. This is useful for small instances
# where the admin has 5 mau seats (say) for 5 specific people and no
# interest increasing the mau limit further. Defaults to True, which
# means that alerting is enabled
#
#limit_usage_by_mau: false
#max_mau_value: 50
#mau_trial_days: 2
#mau_limit_alerting: false

# If enabled, the metrics for the number of monthly active users will
# be populated, however no one will be limited. If limit_usage_by_mau
# is true, this is implied to be true.
#
#mau_stats_only: false

# Sometimes the server admin will want to ensure certain accounts are
# never blocked by mau checking. These accounts are specified here.
#
#mau_limit_reserved_threepids:
#  - medium: 'email'
#    address: 'reserved_user@example.com'

# Used by phonehome stats to group together related servers.
#server_context: context

# Resource-constrained homeserver Settings
#
# If limit_remote_rooms.enabled is True, the room complexity will be
# checked before a user joins a new remote room. If it is above
# limit_remote_rooms.complexity, it will disallow joining or
# instantly leave.
#
# limit_remote_rooms.complexity_error can be set to customise the text
# displayed to the user when a room above the complexity threshold has
# its join cancelled.
#
# Uncomment the below lines to enable:
#limit_remote_rooms:
#  enabled: true
#  complexity: 1.0
#  complexity_error: "This room is too complex."

# Whether to require a user to be in the room to add an alias to it.
# Defaults to 'true'.
#
#require_membership_for_aliases: false

# Whether to allow per-room membership profiles through the send of membership
# events with profile information that differ from the target's global profile.
# Defaults to 'true'.
#
#allow_per_room_profiles: false

# How long to keep redacted events in unredacted form in the database. After
# this period redacted events get replaced with their redacted form in the DB.
#
# Defaults to `7d`. Set to `null` to disable.
#
#redaction_retention_period: 28d

# How long to track users' last seen time and IPs in the database.
#
# Defaults to `28d`. Set to `null` to disable clearing out of old rows.
#
#user_ips_max_age: 14d

# Message retention policy at the server level.
#
# Room admins and mods can define a retention period for their rooms using the
# 'm.room.retention' state event, and server admins can cap this period by setting
# the 'allowed_lifetime_min' and 'allowed_lifetime_max' config options.
#
# If this feature is enabled, Synapse will regularly look for and purge events
# which are older than the room's maximum retention period. Synapse will also
# filter events received over federation so that events that should have been
# purged are ignored and not stored again.
#
retention:
  # The message retention policies feature is disabled by default. Uncomment the
  # following line to enable it.
  #
  #enabled: true

  # Default retention policy. If set, Synapse will apply it to rooms that lack the
  # 'm.room.retention' state event. Currently, the value of 'min_lifetime' doesn't
  # matter much because Synapse doesn't take it into account yet.
  #
  #default_policy:
  #  min_lifetime: 1d
  #  max_lifetime: 1y

  # Retention policy limits. If set, a user won't be able to send a
  # 'm.room.retention' event which features a 'min_lifetime' or a 'max_lifetime'
  # that's not within this range. This is especially useful in closed federations,
  # in which server admins can make sure every federating server applies the same
  # rules.
  #
  #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.
  #
  #purge_jobs:
  #  - shortest_max_lifetime: 1d
  #    longest_max_lifetime: 3d
  #    interval: 12h
  #  - shortest_max_lifetime: 3d
  #    longest_max_lifetime: 1y
  #    interval: 1d

# Inhibits the /requestToken endpoints from returning an error that might leak
# information about whether an e-mail address is in use or not on this
# homeserver.
# Note that for some endpoints the error situation is the e-mail already being
# used, and for others the error is entering the e-mail being unused.
# If this option is enabled, instead of returning an error, these endpoints will
# act as if no error happened and return a fake session ID ('sid') to clients.
#
#request_token_inhibit_3pid_errors: true


## 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.
#
# If supplying your own, be sure to use a `.pem` file that includes the
# full certificate chain including any intermediate certificates (for
# instance, if using certbot, use `fullchain.pem` as your certificate,
# not `cert.pem`).
#
#tls_certificate_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.tls.crt"

# PEM-encoded private key for TLS
#
#tls_private_key_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.tls.key"

# Whether to verify TLS server certificates for outbound federation requests.
#
# Defaults to `true`. To disable certificate verification, uncomment the
# following line.
#
#federation_verify_certificates: false

# The minimum TLS version that will be used for outbound federation requests.
#
# Defaults to `1`. Configurable to `1`, `1.1`, `1.2`, or `1.3`. Note
# that setting this value higher than `1.2` will prevent federation to most
# of the public Matrix network: only configure it to `1.3` if you have an
# entirely private federation setup and you can ensure TLS 1.3 support.
#
#federation_client_minimum_tls_version: 1.2

# Skip federation certificate verification on the following whitelist
# of domains.
#
# This setting should only be used in very specific cases, such as
# federation over Tor hidden services and similar. For private networks
# of homeservers, you likely want to use a private CA instead.
#
# Only effective if federation_verify_certicates is `true`.
#
#federation_certificate_verification_whitelist:
#  - lon.example.com
#  - *.domain.com
#  - *.onion

# List of custom certificate authorities for federation traffic.
#
# This setting should only normally be used within a private network of
# homeservers.
#
# Note that this list will replace those that are provided by your
# operating environment. Certificates must be in PEM format.
#
#federation_custom_ca_list:
#  - myCA1.pem
#  - myCA2.pem
#  - myCA3.pem

# ACME support: This will configure Synapse to request a valid TLS certificate
# for your configured `server_name` via Let's Encrypt.
#
# Note that ACME v1 is now deprecated, and Synapse currently doesn't support
# ACME v2. This means that this feature currently won't work with installs set
# up after November 2019. For more info, and alternative solutions, see
# https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/ACME.md#deprecation-of-acme-v1
#
# 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. Set this to `true` and uncomment
    # tls_certificate_path and tls_private_key_path above to enable it.
    #
    enabled: false

    # 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'.

# 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>"}]



## 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).
#
# '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
#   * for postgres: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-PARAMKEYWORDS

#
log_config: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.log.config"


## 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 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.
#
# The defaults are as shown below.
#
#rc_message:
#  per_second: 0.2
#  burst_count: 10
#
#rc_registration:
#  per_second: 0.17
#  burst_count: 3
#
#rc_login:
#  address:
#    per_second: 0.17

#    per_second: 0.17
#    burst_count: 3
#  failed_attempts:
#    per_second: 0.17
#    burst_count: 3
#
#rc_admin_redaction:
#  per_second: 1
#  burst_count: 50


# 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.

# Is the preview URL API enabled?
#
# 'false' by default: uncomment the following to enable it (and specify a
# url_preview_ip_range_blacklist blacklist).
#
#url_preview_enabled: true

# List of IP address CIDR ranges that the URL preview spider is denied
# from accessing.  There are no defaults: you must explicitly
# specify a list for URL previewing to work.  You should specify any
# internal services in your network that you do not want synapse to try
# to connect to, otherwise anyone in any Matrix room could cause your
# synapse to issue arbitrary GET requests to your internal services,
# causing serious security issues.
#
# (0.0.0.0 and :: are always blacklisted, whether or not they are explicitly
# listed here, since they correspond to unroutable addresses.)
#
# This must be specified if url_preview_enabled is set. It is recommended that
# you uncomment the following list as a starting point.
#
#url_preview_ip_range_blacklist:
#  - '127.0.0.0/8'
#  - '10.0.0.0/8'
#  - '172.16.0.0/12'
#  - '192.168.0.0/16'
#  - '100.64.0.0/10'
#  - '169.254.0.0/16'
#  - '::1/128'
#  - 'fe80::/64'
#  - 'fc00::/7'

# List of IP address CIDR ranges that the URL preview spider is allowed
# to access even if they are specified in url_preview_ip_range_blacklist.
# This is useful for specifying exceptions to wide-ranging blacklisted
# target IP ranges - e.g. for enabling URL previews for a specific private
# website only visible in your network.
#
#url_preview_ip_range_whitelist:
#   - '192.168.1.1'

# Optional list of URL matches that the URL preview spider is
# denied from accessing.  You should use url_preview_ip_range_blacklist
# in preference to this, otherwise someone could define a public DNS
# entry that points to a private IP address and circumvent the blacklist.
# This is more useful if you know there is an entire shape of URL that
# you know that will never want synapse to try to spider.
#
# Each list entry is a dictionary of url component attributes as returned
# by urlparse.urlsplit as applied to the absolute form of the URL.  See
# https://docs.python.org/2/library/urlparse.html#urlparse.urlsplit
# The values of the dictionary are treated as an filename match pattern
# applied to that component of URLs, unless they start with a ^ in which
# case they are treated as a regular expression match.  If all the
# specified component matches for a given list item succeed, the URL is
# blacklisted.
#
#url_preview_url_blacklist:
#  # blacklist any URL with a username in its URI
#  - username: '*'
#
#  # blacklist all *.google.com URLs
#  - netloc: 'google.com'
#  - netloc: '*.google.com'
#
#  # blacklist all plain HTTP URLs
#  - scheme: 'http'
#
#  # blacklist http(s)://www.acme.com/foo
#  - netloc: 'www.acme.com'
#    path: '/foo'
#
#  # blacklist any URL with a literal IPv4 address
#  - netloc: '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$'

# The largest allowed URL preview spidering size in bytes
#
#max_spider_size: 10M

# A list of values for the Accept-Language HTTP header used when
# downloading webpages during URL preview generation. This allows
# Synapse to specify the preferred languages that URL previews should
# be in when communicating with remote servers.
#
# Each value is a IETF language tag; a 2-3 letter identifier for a
# language, optionally followed by subtags separated by '-', specifying
# a country or region variant.
#
# Multiple values can be provided, and a weight can be added to each by
# using quality value syntax (;q=). '*' translates to any language.
#
# Defaults to "en".
#
# Example:
#
# url_preview_accept_language:
#   - en-UK
#   - en-US;q=0.9
#   - fr;q=0.8
#   - *;q=0.7
#

## Captcha ##
# See docs/CAPTCHA_SETUP for full details of configuring this.

# This homeserver's ReCAPTCHA public key.
#
#recaptcha_public_key: "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"

# This homeserver's ReCAPTCHA private key.
#
#recaptcha_private_key: "YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"

# Enables ReCaptcha checks when registering, preventing signup
# unless a captcha is answered. Requires a valid ReCaptcha
# public/private key.
#
#enable_registration_captcha: false

# The API endpoint to use for verifying m.login.recaptcha responses.
#
#recaptcha_siteverify_api: "https://www.recaptcha.net/recaptcha/api/siteverify"


## TURN ##

# The public URIs of the TURN server to give to clients
#
#turn_uris: []

# The shared secret used to compute passwords for the TURN server
#
#turn_shared_secret: "YOUR_SHARED_SECRET"

# The Username and password if the TURN server needs them and
# does not use a token
#
#turn_username: "TURNSERVER_USERNAME"
#turn_password: "TURNSERVER_PASSWORD"

# How long generated TURN credentials last
#
#turn_user_lifetime: 1h

# Whether guests should be allowed to use the TURN server.
# This defaults to True, otherwise VoIP will be unreliable for guests.
# However, it does introduce a slight security risk as it allows users to
# connect to arbitrary endpoints without having first signed up for a
# valid account (e.g. by passing a CAPTCHA).
#
#turn_allow_guests: true


## Registration ##
#
# Registration can be rate-limited using the parameters in the "Ratelimiting"
# section of this file.

# Enable registration for new users.
#
#enable_registration: false

# Optional account validity configuration. This allows for accounts to be denied
# any request after a given period.
#
# Once this feature is enabled, Synapse will look for registered users without an
# expiration date at startup and will add one to every account it found using the
# current settings at that time.
# This means that, if a validity period is set, and Synapse is restarted (it will
# then derive an expiration date from the current validity period), and some time
# after that the validity period changes and Synapse is restarted, the users'
# expiration dates won't be updated unless their account is manually renewed. This
# date will be randomly selected within a range [now + period - d ; now + period],
# where d is equal to 10% of the validity period.
#
account_validity:
  # The account validity feature is disabled by default. Uncomment the
  # following line to enable it.
  #
  #enabled: true

  # The period after which an account is valid after its registration. When
  # renewing the account, its validity period will be extended by this amount
  # of time. This parameter is required when using the account validity
  # feature.
  #
  #period: 6w

  # The amount of time before an account's expiry date at which Synapse will
  # send an email to the account's email address with a renewal link. By
  # default, no such emails are sent.
  #
  # If you enable this setting, you will also need to fill out the 'email' and
  # 'public_baseurl' configuration sections.
  #
  #renew_at: 1w

  # The subject of the email sent out with the renewal link. '%(app)s' can be
  # used as a placeholder for the 'app_name' parameter from the 'email'
  # section.
  #
  # Note that the placeholder must be written '%(app)s', including the
  # trailing 's'.
  #
  # If this is not set, a default value is used.
  #
