# Configuring conduwuit (optional)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The playbook can install and configure the [conduwuit](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/) Matrix server for you.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See the project's [documentation](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By default, the playbook installs [Synapse](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse) as it's the only full-featured Matrix server at the moment. If that's okay, you can skip this document.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
💡 **Note**: conduwuit is a fork of [Conduit](./configuring-playbook-conduit.md), which the playbook also supports. See [Differences from upstream Conduit](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/differences.html).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> [!WARNING]
 | 
						|
> - **You can't switch an existing Matrix server's implementation** (e.g. Synapse -> conduwuit). Proceed below only if you're OK with losing data or you're dealing with a server on a new domain name, which hasn't participated in the Matrix federation yet.
 | 
						|
> - **Homeserver implementations other than Synapse may not be fully functional**. The playbook may also not assist you in an optimal way (like it does with Synapse). Make yourself familiar with the downsides before proceeding
 | 
						|
> - **the Conduwuit project appears to have been abandoned**. You may wish to install [Conduit](./configuring-playbook-conduit.md), or one of the Conduwuit successors (like [Continuwuity](configuring-playbook-continuwuity.md))
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To use conduwuit, you **generally** need to adjust the `matrix_homeserver_implementation: synapse` configuration on your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file as below:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
matrix_homeserver_implementation: conduwuit
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Registering users can only happen via the API,
 | 
						|
# so it makes sense to enable it, at least initially.
 | 
						|
matrix_conduwuit_config_allow_registration: true
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Generate a strong registration token to protect the registration endpoint from abuse.
 | 
						|
# You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
 | 
						|
matrix_conduwuit_config_registration_token: ''
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Extending the configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the server.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Take a look at:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `roles/custom/matrix-conduwuit/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
 | 
						|
- `roles/custom/matrix-conduwuit/templates/conduwuit.toml.j2` for the server's default configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are various Ansible variables that control settings in the `conduwuit.toml` file.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If a specific setting you'd like to change does not have a dedicated Ansible variable, you can either submit a PR to us to add it, or you can [override the setting using an environment variable](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/configuration.html#environment-variables) using `matrix_conduwuit_environment_variables_extension`. For example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
matrix_conduwuit_environment_variables_extension: |
 | 
						|
  CONDUWUIT_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE=50000000
 | 
						|
  CONDUWUIT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT=60
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Creating the first user account
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Unlike other homeserver implementations (like Synapse and Dendrite), conduwuit does not support creating users via the command line or via the playbook.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you followed the instructions above (see [Adjusting the playbook configuration](#adjusting-the-playbook-configuration)), you should have registration enabled and protected by a registration token.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This should allow you to create the first user account via any client (like [Element Web](./configuring-playbook-client-element-web.md)) which supports creating users.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The **first user account that you create will be marked as an admin** and **will be automatically invited to an admin room**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Configuring bridges / appservices
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For other homeserver implementations (like Synapse and Dendrite), the playbook automatically registers appservices (for bridges, bots, etc.) with the homeserver.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For conduwuit, you will have to manually register appservices using the [`!admin appservices register` command](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/appservices.html#set-up-the-appservice---general-instructions) sent to the server bot account.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The server's bot account has a Matrix ID of `@conduit:example.com` (not `@conduwuit:example.com`!) due to conduwuit's historical legacy.
 | 
						|
Your first user account would already have been invited to an admin room with this bot.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Find the appservice file you'd like to register. This can be any `registration.yaml` file found in the `/matrix` directory, for example `/matrix/mautrix-signal/bridge/registration.yaml`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Then, send its content to the existing admin room:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    !admin appservices register
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
    as_token: <token>
 | 
						|
    de.sorunome.msc2409.push_ephemeral: true
 | 
						|
    receive_ephemeral: true
 | 
						|
    hs_token: <token>
 | 
						|
    id: signal
 | 
						|
    namespaces:
 | 
						|
      aliases:
 | 
						|
      - exclusive: true
 | 
						|
        regex: ^#signal_.+:example\.org$
 | 
						|
      users:
 | 
						|
      - exclusive: true
 | 
						|
        regex: ^@signal_.+:example\.org$
 | 
						|
      - exclusive: true
 | 
						|
        regex: ^@signalbot:example\.org$
 | 
						|
    rate_limited: false
 | 
						|
    sender_localpart: _bot_signalbot
 | 
						|
    url: http://matrix-mautrix-signal:29328
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Troubleshooting
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-conduwuit`.
