# Using your own webserver, instead of this playbook's nginx proxy (optional, advanced)
By default, this playbook installs its own nginx webserver (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.
If you don't want this playbook's nginx webserver to take over your server's 80/443 ports like that,
and you'd like to use your own webserver (be it nginx, Apache, Varnish Cache, etc.), you can.
You should note, however, that the playbook's services work best when you keep using the integrated `matrix-nginx-proxy` webserver.
For example, disabling `matrix-nginx-proxy` when running a [Synapse worker setup for load-balancing](configuring-playbook-synapse.md#load-balancing-with-workers) (a more advanced, non-default configuration) is likely to cause various troubles (see [this issue](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/2090)). If you need a such more scalable setup, disabling `matrix-nginx-proxy` will be a bad idea. If yours will be a simple (default, non-worker-load-balancing) deployment, disabling `matrix-nginx-proxy` may be fine.
There are **2 ways you can go about it**, if you'd like to use your own webserver:
