Tuwunel is a Matrix homeserver maintained by the matrix-construct organisation. See https://matrix-construct.github.io/tuwunel/. The rendered TOML emits only keys exposed as Ansible variables; the rest fall back to tuwunel's upstream defaults. Anything not surfaced can be set via the TUWUNEL_* env extension or by overriding the template path. Popular features Tuwunel adds variables for: - OAuth2/OIDC identity providers (a list of `[[global.identity_provider]]` blocks; brand-aware defaults for Google, GitHub, Keycloak, MAS, etc) - LDAP and JWT authentication - Media storage providers (native local and S3 with multipart upload) - RocksDB tuning (compression, direct_io, parallelism, online backups) - Native TLS dual-protocol mode - Blurhashing, Sentry crash reporting Auto-wired from existing playbook globals: well-known client URL, TURN/coturn, MatrixRTC LiveKit URL, federation. The `tuwunel-migrate-from-conduwuit` tag performs a binary-swap migration. Migration from any other Conduit derivative is unsupported and would corrupt the database.
