1. Allow Synapse to listen on port 80 with authbind, or forward it from a reverse-proxy. 1. Allow Synapse to listen for incoming ACME challenges.

### Config file editing Make the relevant changes in `homeserver.yaml` to enable ACME support:
Once Synapse is able to listen on port 80 for ACME challenge
requests, it must be told to perform ACME provisioning by setting `enabled`
to true under the `acme` section in `homeserver.yaml`:
``` ```
acme: acme:
enabled: true enabled: true

Synapse will not provision certificates if files exist, as it does not want to overwrite existing certificates.
