# Configuring the Ansible playbook
Split README into a bunch of files in docs/
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
Improve documentation about getting the playbook

To configure the playbook, you need to have done the following things:

Improve documentation about getting the playbook
2019-03-10 15:02:17 +00:00
- have a server where Matrix services will run
- [configured your DNS records](configuring-dns.md)
- [retrieved the playbook's source code](getting-the-playbook.md) to your computer
You can then follow these steps inside the playbook directory:

- create a directory to hold your configuration (`mkdir inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>`)
- copy the sample configuration file (`cp examples/host-vars.yml inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`)
Split playbook into multiple roles As suggested in #63 (Github issue), splitting the playbook's logic into multiple roles will be beneficial for maintainability. This patch realizes this split. Still, some components affect others, so the roles are not really independent of one another. For example: - disabling mxisd (`matrix_mxisd_enabled: false`), causes Synapse and riot-web to reconfigure themselves with other (public) Identity servers. - enabling matrix-corporal (`matrix_corporal_enabled: true`) affects how reverse-proxying (by `matrix-nginx-proxy`) is done, in order to put matrix-corporal's gateway server in front of Synapse We may be able to move away from such dependencies in the future, at the expense of a more complicated manual configuration, but it's probably not worth sacrificing the convenience we have now. As part of this work, the way we do "start components" has been redone now to use a loop, as suggested in #65 (Github issue). This should make restarting faster and more reliable.

- edit the configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`) to your liking. You may also take a look at the various `roles/ROLE_NAME_HERE/defaults/main.yml` files and see if there's something you'd like to copy over and override in your `vars.yml` configuration file.

- copy the sample inventory hosts file (`cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts`)
- edit the inventory hosts file (`inventory/hosts`) to your liking
For a basic Matrix installation, that's all you need.
For a more custom setup, see the [Other configuration options](#other-configuration-options) below.
When you're done with all the configuration you'd like to do, continue with [Installing](installing.md).
## Other configuration options
Split additional configuration options in groups It's too many configuration options to keep them in a single list. Trying to put some order.
