global:
  # The domain name of this homeserver.

  private_key: matrix_key.pem

  # The paths and expiry timestamps (as a UNIX timestamp in millisecond precision)
  # to old signing keys that were formerly in use on this domain name. These
  # keys will not be used for federation request or event signing, but will be
  # provided to any other homeserver that asks when trying to verify old events.

  # How long a remote server can cache our server signing key before requesting it

  # Global database connection pool, for PostgreSQL monolith deployments only. If

    # provide little or no benefit.
    max_size_estimated: 1gb

    # The maximum amount of time that a cache entry can live for in memory before
    # it will be evicted and/or refreshed from the database. Lower values result in
    # easier admission of new cache entries but may also increase database load in
    # comparison to higher values, so adjust conservatively. Higher values may make
