# Configuring the Ansible playbook
To configure the playbook, you need to have done the following things:
- 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:
1. create a directory to hold your configuration (`mkdir -p inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>`)
1. copy the sample configuration file (`cp examples/vars.yml inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`)
2023-04-27 05:12:09 +00:00
1. 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.
1. copy the sample inventory hosts file (`cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts`)
1. edit the inventory hosts file (`inventory/hosts`) to your liking
2. (optional, advanced) you may wish to keep your `inventory` directory under version control with [git](https://git-scm.com/) or any other version-control system.
3. (optional, advanced) to run Ansible against multiple servers with different `sudo` credentials, you can copy the sample inventory hosts yaml file for each of your hosts: (`cp examples/host.yml inventory/my_host1.yml` …) and use the [`ansible-all-hosts.sh`](../bin/ansible-all-hosts.sh) script [in the installation step](installing.md).
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).

Add matrix-appservice-kakaotalk support Adds support for: https://src.miscworks.net/fair/matrix-appservice-kakaotalk This is pretty similar to https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/1977 which just appeared, but has mostly been done independently. I've taken some inspiration and did some fixups based on that PR. Thanks to https://github.com/hnarjis for taking the time to contribute! Notable differences between this branch compared to that PR: - better naming and documentation around the "configuration" variables - no unnecessary (5 sec.) intentional delay when starting `matrix-appservice-kakaotalk-node.service` - stores configuration in `config/`, not in `data/` - passes configuration as read-only and starts the bridge with (`--no-update`) to ensure no changes are made to it - starts containers more securely - with `matrix:matrix` user:group (not `root`) and reduced capabilities (`--cap-drop=ALL`) - uses `tcp` for communication between the "node" and the appservice (simpler than sharing unix sockets) - `registration.yaml` which is closer to the one generated by `matrix-appservice-kakaotalk` (no `de.sorunome.msc2409.push_ephemeral` stuff, etc.) - `registration.yaml` which is more customizable (customizable bot username and prefix for puppets - see `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_appservice_bot_username` and `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_user_prefix`) - less fragile and more extensible bridge permissions configuration via `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_bridge_permissions`. Doing `{% if matrix_admin %}` in the bridge configuration sometimes causes syntax problems (I hit some myself) and is not ideal. Other bridges should be redone as well. - configurable command prefix for the bridge, instead of hardcoding `!kt` (see `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_command_prefix`) - logging that is more consistent with the rest of the playbook (console / journald only, no logging to files), as well as configurable log level (via `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_logging_level`) - somewhat more detailed documentation (`docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-kakaotalk.md`) - removed some dead code (data relocation tasks from `tasks/setup_install.yml`, as well as likely unnecessary SQLite -> Postgres migration)

Add support for WeChat bridging This is based on the PR (https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/3241) by Tobias Diez (https://github.com/tobiasdiez). I've refactored some parts, made it more configurable, polished it up, and it's integrated into the playbook now. Both the WeChat bridge and WeChat agent appear to be working. The WeChat bridge joins rooms and responds as expected. That said, end-to-end testing (actually bridging to a WeChat account) has not been done yet.
