 This configuration **disables SSL certificate retrieval**, so you will **need to obtain SSL certificates manually** (e.g. by using [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/)) and set the appropriate path in `matrix.conf`.

For your setup, may wish to change this and use separate `server` blocks and separate certificate files for each host.
