By default, this playbook installs its own [Traefik](https://traefik.io/) reverse-proxy server (in a Docker container) which listens on ports 80 and 443.
By default, this playbook installs its own nginx webserver (called `matrix-nginx-proxy`, in a Docker container) which listens on ports 80 and 443.
If that's alright, you can skip this.
