# Matrix (An open network for secure, decentralized communication) server setup using Ansible and Docker
## Purpose
2021-01-24 08:04:30 +00:00
This [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) playbook is meant to help you run your own [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) homeserver, along with the [various services](#supported-services) related to that.
2017-07-31 20:07:30 +00:00
2021-01-24 08:04:30 +00:00
That is, it lets you join the Matrix network using your own `@<username>:<your-domain>` identifier, all hosted on your own server (see [prerequisites](docs/prerequisites.md)).
We run all services in [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) containers (see [the container images we use](docs/container-images.md)), which lets us have a predictable and up-to-date setup, across multiple supported distros (see [prerequisites](docs/prerequisites.md)) and [architectures](docs/alternative-architectures.md) (x86/amd64 being recommended).
[Installation](docs/README.md) (upgrades) and some maintenance tasks are automated using [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) (see [our Ansible guide](docs/ansible.md)).

**Note**: the list above is exhaustive. It includes optional or even some advanced components that you will most likely not need.
Sticking with the defaults (which install a subset of the above components) is the best choice, especially for a new installation.

## Services by the community
- [etke.cc](https://etke.cc) - matrix-docker-ansible-deploy and system stuff "as a service". That service will create your matrix homeserver on your domain and server (doesn't matter if it's cloud provider or on an old laptop in the corner of your room), (optional) maintains it (server's system updates, cleanup, security adjustments, tuning, etc.; matrix homeserver updates & maintenance) and (optional) provide full-featured email service for your domain
- [GoMatrixHosting](https://gomatrixhosting.com) - matrix-docker-ansible-deploy "as a service" with [Ansible AWX](https://github.com/ansible/awx). Members can be assigned a server from DigitalOcean, or they can connect their on-premises server. This AWX system can manage the updates, configuration, import and export, backups, and monitoring on its own.
