Using this playbook, you can get the following services configured on your server:
Using this playbook, you can get the following list of services configured on your server. Basically, this playbook aims to get you up-and-running with all the necessities around Matrix, without you having to do anything else.
- (optional, default) a [Synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse) homeserver - storing your data and managing your presence in the [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) network
**Note**: the list below is exhaustive. It includes optional or even some advanced components that you will most likely not need.
Sticking with the defaults (which install a subset of the above components) is the best choice, especially for a new installation.
- (optional) a [Conduit](https://conduit.rs) homeserver - storing your data and managing your presence in the [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) network. Conduit is a lightweight open-source server implementation of the Matrix Specification with a focus on easy setup and low system requirements
You can always re-run the playbook later to add or remove components.
- (optional) a [Dendrite](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite) homeserver - storing your data and managing your presence in the [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) network. Dendrite is a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go, an alternative to Synapse.
- (optional) [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) (or other S3-compatible object store) storage for Synapse's content repository (`media_store`) files using [Goofys](https://github.com/kahing/goofys) or [`synapse-s3-storage-provider`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider)
- (optional, default) [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) database for Synapse. [Using an external PostgreSQL server](docs/configuring-playbook-external-postgres.md) is also possible.
- (optional, default) a [coturn](https://github.com/coturn/coturn) STUN/TURN server for WebRTC audio/video calls
