## Synapse no longer required
The playbook no longer insists on installing [Synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse) via the `matrix-synapse` role.
If you would prefer to install Synapse another way and just use the playbook to install other services, it should be possible (`matrix_synapse_enabled: false`).
Note that it won't necessarily be the best experience, since the playbook wires things to Synapse by default.
If you're using your own Synapse instance (especially one not running in a container), you may have to override many variables to point them to the correct place.
Having Synapse not be a required component potentially opens the door for installing alternative Matrix homeservers.
## Bridges are now separate from the Synapse role
Bridges are no longer part of the `matrix-synapse` role.
Each bridge now lives in its own separate role (`roles/matrix-bridge-*`).
These bridge roles are independent of the `matrix-synapse` role, so it should be possible to use them with a Synapse instance installed another way (not through the playbook).
