Hello,
First off, net/synapse builds and installs on amd64 -current. With some
basic usage everything is going fine, but I haven't tried federation yet.
Second, I ended up using relayd(8) to do the reverse proxying
recommended by synapse. Since this is OpenBSD after all, I thought it might be
nice to put a relayd.conf(5) example in the README as well as the nginx
one.
How does it look? In my actual configuration I have a table so I can do
path matching in the protocol, which allows the relay to forward the port 443
traffic to only synapse which is helpful if there's other port 443
traffic, but I wasn't sure if this should be included in an example.
Thanks,
Andrea

This means that you will not be able to connect to your server remotely.
The best way to achieve remote connectivity is through a reverse proxy.
+Here is a relayd.conf(5) example:
+
+ http protocol synapse {
+ match request header append "X-Forwarded-For" value "$REMOTE_ADDR"
+ match request header append "X-Forwaded-By" value
"$SERVER_ADDR:$SERVER_PORT"
+
+ tls keypair "matrix.example.com"
+
+ match request header set "Connection" value "close"
+ }
+
+ relay "synapse" {
+ listen on matrix.example.com port 443 tls
+ protocol "synapse"
+ forward to 127.0.0.1 port 8008
+ }
+
+ relay "synapse-server" {
+ listen on matrix.example.com port 8448 tls
+ protocol "synapse"
+ forward to 127.0.0.1 port 8008

Here is an Nginx vhost reverse proxy example:
server {
