Thanks to [Charles Wright](https://github.com/cvwright), we now have optional experimental [Conduit](https://conduit.rs) homeserver support for new installations. This comes as a follow-up to the playbook getting [Dendrite support](#dendrite-support) earlier this year.
Existing Synapse or Dendrite installations do **not** need to be updated. **Synapse is still the default homeserver implementation** installed by the playbook.
To try out Conduit, we recommend that you **use a new server** and the following `vars.yml` configuration:
```yaml
matrix_homeserver_implementation: conduit
```
**The homeserver implementation of an existing server cannot be changed** (e.g. from Synapse or Dendrite to Conduit) without data loss.

- (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
- (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
- (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/) storage for Synapse's content repository (`media_store`) files using [Goofys](https://github.com/kahing/goofys)
