To configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port, you will need to edit
`homeserver.yaml`.
`homeserver.yaml`, as follows:
First, under the `listeners` section, uncomment the configuration for the
TLS-enabled listener. (Remove the hash sign (`#`) and space at the start of
each line). The relevant lines are like this:
* First, under the `listeners` section, uncomment the configuration for the
TLS-enabled listener. (Remove the hash sign (`#`) at the start of
each line). The relevant lines are like this:
```
```
- port: 8448
type: http
tls: true
resources:
- names: [client, federation]
```
You will also need to uncomment the `tls_certificate_path` and
`tls_private_key_path` lines under the `TLS` section. You can either point
these settings at an existing certificate and key, or you can enable Synapse's
built-in ACME (Let's Encrypt) support. Instructions for having Synapse
automatically provision and renew federation certificates through ACME can be
found at [ACME.md](docs/ACME.md).
