This means Synapse will create two sockets under `/run/matrix-synapse`: one

If you restart Synapse now, it won't do anything anymore, because nginx is
still forwarding its traffic to `localhost:8008`. We'll get to nginx later,

Because the sockets under `/run/matrix-synapse` are writable only by user and
