.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Xr pantalaimon 1 reads configuration data in the INI file format.
The configuration file is used to configure
.Nm pantalaimon
homeservers.
.Pp
The sections inside the configuration file represent a pantalaimon proxy
instance with the section name enclosed in square brackets representing an user
chosen instance name.
.Pp
The following keys are required in the proxy instance sections:
.Bl -tag -width 3n
.It Cm Homeserver
The URI of the homeserver that the pantalaimon proxy should forward requests to,
without the matrix API path but including the http(s) schema.
.El
.Pp
The following keys are optional in the proxy instance sections:
.Bl -tag -width 3n
.It Cm ListenAddress
The address where the daemon will listen to client connections for this
homeserver. Defaults to "localhost".
.It Cm ListenPort
The port where the daemon will listen to client connections for this
homeserver. Note that the listen address/port combination needs to be unique
between different homeservers. Defaults to "8009".
.It Cm Proxy
An URI of a HTTP proxy that the daemon should use when making requests to the
homeserver.
.Nm pantalaimon
only supports HTTP proxies. The default is to make a direct connection to the
homeserver.
.It Cm SSL
A boolean that decides if SSL verification should be enabled for outgoing
connections to the homeserver. Defaults to "True".
.It Cm IgnoreVerification
A boolean that decides if device verification should be enabled. If this is True
devices will be marked as ignored automatically and encryption keys will be
shared with them, if this is False the user needs to verify, blacklist or ignore
devices manually before messages can be sent to a room. Defaults to "False".
