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.
