Hi. I am running in the same problem, and gave up considering this
project "not mature enough".

I have a tidbit of information to add:

The systemd service configuration says:

ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/python3 -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path=/etc/matrix-synapse/homeserver.yaml --config-path=/etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/ --generate-keys

The "--generate-keys" exists in the source code Python files.

Yet if I run this command explicitly, it does nothing at all, and strace
shows it does nothing about the keys.

Regards,
