## Enable SSL Internal Communication
253
+
For users looking to secure the network traffic from one Splunk instance to another Splunk instance (ex: forwarders to indexers), you can enable forwarding and receiving to use SSL certificates.
254
+
255
+
If you wish to enable SSL on one tier of your Splunk topology, it's very likely all instances will need it. To achieve this, we recommend you generate your server and CA certificates and add them to the `default.yml` which gets shared across all Splunk docker containers. Use this example `default.yml` snippet for the configuration of Splunk TCP with SSL.

## Build from source

While we don't support or recommend you building your own images from source, it is entirely possible. This can be useful if you want to incorporate very experimental features, test new features, and if you have your own registry for persistent images.
