# Example systemd configuration file for synapse. Copy into
#    /etc/systemd/system/, update the paths if necessary, then:
#
#    systemctl enable matrix-synapse
#    systemctl start matrix-synapse
#
# This assumes that Synapse has been installed in a virtualenv in
# /opt/synapse/env.
#
# **NOTE:** This is an example service file that may change in the future. If you
# wish to use this please copy rather than symlink it.
