This will generate the same configuration file as the legacy mode used, but
will store it in `/data/homeserver.yaml` instead of a temporary location. You
can then use it as shown above at [Running synapse](#running-synapse).
## Building the image
If you need to build the image from a Synapse checkout, use the following `docker
build` command from the repo's root:
```
docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse -f docker/Dockerfile .
```
You can choose to build a different docker image by changing the value of the `-f` flag to
point to another Dockerfile.
