This Ansible playbook tries to make self-hosting and maintaining a Matrix server fairly easy. Still, running any service smoothly requires knowledge, time and effort.

If you like the [FOSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software) spirit of this Ansible playbook, but prefer to put the responsibility on someone else, you can also [get a managed Matrix server from etke.cc](https://etke.cc?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) - a service built on top of this Ansible playbook, which can help you run a Matrix server with ease.

Be advised that etke.cc operates on a subscription-based approach and there is no "just set up my server once and be done with it" option.
If you like learning and experimentation, but would rather reduce future maintenance effort, you can even go for a hybrid approach - self-hosting manually using this Ansible playbook at first and then transferring server maintenance to etke.cc at a later time.
