The playbook provides lots of customization variables you could use to change Dendrite's settings.
Their defaults are defined in [`roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/defaults/main.yml`](../roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/defaults/main.yml) and they ultimately end up in the generated `/matrix/dendrite/config/dendrite.yaml` file (on the server). This file is generated from the [`roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/templates/dendrite/dendrite.yaml.j2`](../roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/templates/dendrite/dendrite.yaml.j2) template.

**If there's an existing variable** which controls a setting you wish to change, you can simply define that variable in your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml`) and [re-run the playbook](installing.md) to apply the changes.
