## Removal of `worker_replication_*` settings

As mentioned previously in [Upgrading to v1.84.0](#upgrading-to-v1840), the following deprecated settings
are being removed in this release of Synapse:

* [`worker_replication_host`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.86/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#worker_replication_host)
* [`worker_replication_http_port`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.86/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#worker_replication_http_port)
* [`worker_replication_http_tls`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.86/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#worker_replication_http_tls)

Please ensure that you have migrated to using `main` on your shared configuration's `instance_map`
(or create one if necessary). This is required if you have ***any*** workers at all;
administrators of single-process (monolith) installations don't need to do anything.

For an illustrative example, please see [Upgrading to v1.84.0](#upgrading-to-v1840) below.

*Deprecated as of version 1.84.0. Place `host` under `main` entry on the [`instance_map`](#instance_map) in your shared yaml configuration instead.*

The HTTP replication endpoint that it should talk to on the main Synapse process.

### `worker_replication_http_tls`
*Deprecated as of version 1.84.0. Place `tls` under `main` entry on the [`instance_map`](#instance_map) in your shared yaml configuration instead.*

Whether TLS should be used for talking to the HTTP replication port on the main
Synapse process.
The main Synapse process defines this with the `tls` option on its [listener](#listeners) that
has the `replication` resource enabled.

**Please note:** by default, it is not safe to expose replication ports to the
public Internet, even with TLS enabled.
See [`worker_replication_secret`](#worker_replication_secret).

Defaults to `false`.

*Added in Synapse 1.72.0.*

Example configuration:
```yaml
worker_replication_http_tls: true
