+GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+Version 3, 19 November 2007
+
+Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
+
+The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast, our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users.
+
+When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they receive widespread use, become available for other developers to incorporate.  Many developers of free software are heartened and encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However, in the case of software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about. The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its source code to the public.
+
+The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available to the community.  It requires the operator of a network server to provide the source code of the modified version running there to the users of that server.  Therefore, public use of a modified version, on a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source code of the modified version.
+
+An older license, called the Affero General Public License and published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals.  This is a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under this license.
+
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+0. Definitions.
+
+"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
+
+To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+1. Source Code.
+The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source form of a work.
+
+A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
+
+The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
+
+2. Basic Permissions.
+All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
+
+3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
+
+When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
+
+4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.
+
+A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
+
+6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
+
+A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.
+
+A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
+
+If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
+
+The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.
+
+Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+7. Additional Terms.
+"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
+
+All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
+
+Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
+
+8. Termination.
+
+You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
+
+However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
+
+Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
+
+9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+11. Patents.
+
+A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
+
+Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
+
+If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
+
+A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
+
+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software.  This Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph.
+
+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
+
+Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
+
+15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+     Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+     This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
+
+     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
+
+     You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to get its source.  For example, if your program is a web application, its interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive of the code.  There are many ways you could offer source, and different solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the specific requirements.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

+Creative Commons Legal Code
+
+CC0 1.0 Universal
+
+    CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE
+    LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN
+    ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS
+    INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES
+    REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS
+    PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM
+    THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED
+    HEREUNDER.
+
+Statement of Purpose
+
+The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
+exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
+and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
+authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
+
+Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
+the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
+scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear
+of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other
+works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
+and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.
+These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free
+culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
+works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in
+part through the use and efforts of others.
+
+For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
+expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
+associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
+is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
+elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
+terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
+Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
+
+1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
+protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
+Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
+limited to, the following:
+
+  i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
+     communicate, and translate a Work;
+ ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
+iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
+     likeness depicted in a Work;
+ iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
+     subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
+  v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
+     in a Work;
+ vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
+     European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
+     protection of databases, and under any national implementation
+     thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
+     directive); and
+vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the
+     world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national
+     implementations thereof.
+
+2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
+of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
+irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
+Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
+of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
+future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
+worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
+treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
+medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
+including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
+purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
+member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
+successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
+revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
+equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
+as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
+
+3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
+be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
+Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
+account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
+extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
+person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
+irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
+Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
+maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
+time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
+of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
+limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
+"License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
+applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
+reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
+partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
+of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
+will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
+Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
+action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
+express Statement of Purpose.
+
+4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
+
+ a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
+    surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
+ b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
+    warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied,
+    statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of
+    title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non
+    infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
+    the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to
+    the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
+ c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
+    that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
+    limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
+    Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
+    consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the
+    Work.
+ d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
+    party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to
+    this CC0 or use of the Work.

 # Matrix (An open network for secure, decentralized communication) server setup using Ansible and Docker
 
-## Purpose
+## 🎯 Purpose
 
 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.
 
-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)).
+That is, it lets you join the Matrix network using your own user ID like `@alice:example.com`, 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).

+## ☁ Self-hosting or Managed / SaaS
 
-## Supported services
+This Ansible playbook tries to make self-hosting and maintaining a Matrix server fairly easy (see [Getting started](#-getting-started)). Still, running any service smoothly requires knowledge, time and effort.
 
-Using this playbook, you can get the following services configured on your server:
+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) (both hosting and on-premises) - a service built on top of this Ansible playbook but with [additional components](https://etke.cc/help/extras/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) and [services](https://etke.cc/services/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) which all 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.
 
-- (optional, default) a [Synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse) homeserver - storing your data and managing your presence in the [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) network
+## 🚀 Getting started
 
-- (optional) a [Dendrite](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite) homeserver - storing your data and managing your presence in the [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) network. Dendrite is a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go, an alternative to Synapse.
+We have detailed documentation in the [docs/](./docs) directory - see the Table of Contents in the [documentation README](./docs/README.md).
 
-- (optional) [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) storage for Synapse's content repository (`media_store`) files using [Goofys](https://github.com/kahing/goofys)
+While the [list of supported services](#-supported-services) and documentation is very extensive, you don't need to read through everything. We recommend:
 
-- (optional, default) [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) database for Synapse. [Using an external PostgreSQL server](docs/configuring-playbook-external-postgres.md) is also possible.
+- Starting with the basics. You can always add/remove or tweak services later on.
 
-- (optional, default) a [coturn](https://github.com/coturn/coturn) STUN/TURN server for WebRTC audio/video calls
+- Following our installation guide. There are two guides available for beginners and advanced users:
 
-- (optional, default) free [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) SSL certificate, which secures the connection to the Synapse server and the Element web UI
+    - ⚡ **[Quick start](./docs/quick-start.md) (for beginners)**: this is recommended for those who do not have an existing Matrix server and want to start quickly with "opinionated defaults".
 
-- (optional, default) an [Element](https://app.element.io/) ([formerly Riot](https://element.io/previously-riot)) web UI, which is configured to connect to your own Synapse server by default
+    - **Full installation guide (for advanced users)**: if you need to import an existing Matrix server's data into the new server or want to learn more while setting up the server, follow this guide by starting with the **[Prerequisites](./docs/prerequisites.md)** documentation page.
 
-- (optional) a [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) Matrix Identity server
+If you experience an issue on configuring the playbook, setting up your server, maintaining services on it, etc., please take a look at our [FAQ](./docs/faq.md). If you cannot find an answer to your question, feel free to ask for [help and support](#-support).
 
-- (optional, default) an [Exim](https://www.exim.org/) mail server, through which all Matrix services send outgoing email (can be configured to relay through another SMTP server)
+## ✔ Supported services
 
-- (optional, default) an [nginx](http://nginx.org/) web server, listening on ports 80 and 443 - standing in front of all the other services. Using your own webserver [is possible](docs/configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md)
+Using this playbook, you can get the following list of services configured on your server. Basically, this playbook aims to get you up-and-running with all the necessities around Matrix, without you having to do anything else.
 
-- (optional, advanced) the [matrix-synapse-rest-auth](https://github.com/ma1uta/matrix-synapse-rest-password-provider) REST authentication password provider module
+**Notes**:
 
-- (optional, advanced) the [matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth](https://github.com/devture/matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth) password provider module
+- The list below 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. You can always re-run the playbook later to add or remove components.
 
-- (optional, advanced) the [matrix-synapse-ldap3](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-ldap3) LDAP Auth password provider module
+- Deprecated or unmaintained services are not listed. You can find documentations for them [here](docs/configuring-playbook.md#deprecated--unmaintained--removed-services).
 
-- (optional, advanced) the [synapse-simple-antispam](https://github.com/t2bot/synapse-simple-antispam) spam checker module
+### Homeserver
 
-- (optional, advanced) the [Matrix Corporal](https://github.com/devture/matrix-corporal) reconciliator and gateway for a managed Matrix server
+The homeserver is the backbone of your Matrix system. Choose one from the following list.

+
+mash-playbook also makes use of [Traefik](./docs/configuring-playbook-traefik.md) as its reverse-proxy, so with minor [interoperability adjustments](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook/blob/main/docs/interoperability.md), you can make matrix-docker-ansible-deploy and mash-playbook co-exist and host Matrix and non-Matrix services on the same server.

+# 2023
+
+2023 was a year filled with many changes for matrix-docker-ansible-deploy. In this post, we're looking backward at some of the major changes that happened this year, as well as taking a glimpse of what's ahead in 2024.
+
+2023 is probably [the year of AI](https://journal.everypixel.com/2023-the-year-of-ai), with millions of people jumping aboard [OpenAI](https://openai.com/)'s [ChatGPT](https://openai.com/chatgpt) train. matrix-docker-ansible-deploy is no stranger to this and 2023 began with a PR from [bertybuttface](https://github.com/bertybuttface) who added support for [matrix-chatgpt-bot](https://github.com/matrixgpt/matrix-chatgpt-bot) (see the [changelog entry](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#chatgpt-support)). While OpenAI's chat GPT website was frequently overloaded in the past, their API was up which made using this bot both convenient and more reliable.
+
+AI aside, with the playbook's focus being containers, we're **doubling down on being "container native"** and becoming more interoperable for people hosting other containers on the Matrix server. In [2022](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/YEAR-IN-REVIEW.md#2022), we've announced a few sibling Ansible playbooks, their use of [Traefik](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/) and the possibility of matrix-docker-ansible-deploy also switching to this reverse-proxy. This prediction materialized quickly. The **largest change** in the playbook in 2023 happened way back in February - matrix-docker-ansible-deploy [starting the switch from nginx to Traefik](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#backward-compatibility-reverse-proxy-configuration-changes-and-initial-traefik-support) and then quickly [making Treafik the default reverse-proxy](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#traefik-is-the-default-reverse-proxy-now). As noted in the changelog entries, we envisioned a quick and complete elimination of `matrix-nginx-proxy`, but at the end of 2023, it hasn't happened yet. The playbook is already using Traefik as the front-most reverse-proxy, but nginx (via `matrix-nginx-proxy`) is still around - it has taken a step back and is only used internally for new setups. Work got to a stall due to:
+
+*   complexity: untangling the overly large and messy `matrix-nginx-proxy` component is difficult
+*   the current setup became "good enough" because nginx has become an internal implementation detail for those who have migrated to Traefik. Traefik is already the default public reverse-proxy and gives better possibilities to people wishing to run other web-exposed containers on their Matrix server via [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/), other Ansible playbooks like [mash-playbook](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook) (more about this one, below) or any other way.
+
+`matrix-nginx-proxy` is no longer in the way of us being interoperable, but its ugly internal details are still there. It is one more proxy in the long chain of reverse-proxies we have and we'd like to cut it out. This would both make things simpler and also boost performance.
+
+The delay in eliminating `matrix-nginx-proxy` has probably been welcome by many existing users who decided to postpone the Traefik migration a bit longer. In 2024, work on eliminating `matrix-nginx-proxy` will continue with rapid pace. People who are still using `matrix-nginx-proxy` as their front-most reverse-proxy will need to rework their setup. About a year of putting it off has been long enough.
+
+This large Traefik reverse-proxy change was also accompanied by another internal change which began in 2022, but continued in 2023 - **moving non-Matrix-related roles from being internal to the playbook to living their own life outside of it**. Various roles were made more decoupled and moved outside of the playbook, so that other projects (like the [mash-playbook](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook) Ansible playbook or other Ansible playbooks) could benefit from them. This led to the **death of a few sibling playbooks** ([gitea-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/gitea-docker-ansible-deploy), [nextcloud-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/nextcloud-docker-ansible-deploy), [peertube-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/peertube-docker-ansible-deploy), [vaultwarden-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/vaultwarden-docker-ansible-deploy)), but brought life to something better, which supports all these services and more.
+
+[mash-playbook](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook) is a new Ansible playbook that a few of us (matrix-docker-ansible-deploy contributors) have launched in 2023. It has quickly grown to supports [60+ services](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook/blob/main/docs/supported-services.md) and aims to do the same for [FOSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software) service hosting, as matrix-docker-ansible-deploy has done for Matrix - providing a clean and secure way to run a bunch of services in containers on a regular server (that is to say, without Kubernetes, etc.). Thanks to Traefik and Ansible role reuse, it's easy to host both mash-playbook services and matrix-docker-ansible-deploy services on the same server - see mash-playbook's [interoperability](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook/blob/main/docs/interoperability.md) documentation page. If you've been looking for a holiday project or your New Year's Resolutions list contains "self-hosting more services", then you're welcome to give this new playbook a try and join its Matrix room ([#mash-playbook:devture.com](https://matrix.to/#/#mash-playbook:devture.com)).
+
+Because many of the roles are now external to this playbook (defined in the [requirements.yml](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/da27655ef34999fa924bc0a5e641dbd9ba06f133/requirements.yml) file), running `make roles` (or better yet `just roles` via the [just tool](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#support-for-running-commands-via-just)) becomes a necessity each time one pulls playbook updates (`git pull`). Pulling external roles happens via the [ansible-galaxy](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/cli/ansible-galaxy.html) command-line tool, but if available, the playbook would also use the much faster [agru](https://github.com/etkecc/agru) tool (developed by [Aine](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc) from [etke.cc](https://etke.cc/) this year).
+
+With the internal (but important) details out of the way, we can now talk more about **new features that landed in matrix-docker-ansible-deploy in 2023**.
+
+The following **new** **bridges** were added to the playbook in 2023:
+
+*   (2023-01-11) [mautrix-slack](https://mau.dev/mautrix/slack), thanks to a PR by [Cody Neiman](https://github.com/xangelix) (see the [changelog entry](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#mautrix-slack-support))
+*   (2023-07-21) [mautrix-gmessages](https://github.com/mautrix/gmessages), thanks to a PR by [Shreyas Ajjarapu](https://github.com/shreyasajj) (see the [changelog entry](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#mautrix-gmessages-support))
+*   (2023-08-23) [mautrix-wsproxy](https://github.com/mautrix/wsproxy) for Apple iMessage bridging (when combined with the [mautrix-imessage](https://github.com/mautrix/imessage) bridge running on your Mac or Android phone), thanks to a PR by [Johan Swetzén](https://github.com/jswetzen)
+
+This brings the total number of **[bridges that the playbook supports](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/docs/configuring-playbook.md#bridging-other-networks) up to 30**. There are alternative bridge implementations for various networks and protocols, so the number of "unique bridged networks" is surely much smaller.
+
+A few other **major components and changes** landed in 2023:
+
+*   (2023-02-10) The [Draupnir](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir) moderation tool (successor to [Mjolnir](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir)), thanks to a PR by [FSG-Cat](https://github.com/FSG-Cat) (see the [changelog entry](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#draupnir-moderation-tool-bot-support))
+*   (2023-02-10) [Matrix User Verification Service](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-user-verification-service) to add Matrix Authentication Support to our Jitsi setup, thanks to a PR by [Jakob S.](https://github.com/jakicoll) from [zakk gGmbH](https://github.com/zakk-it) (see the [changelog entry](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#matrix-authentication-support-for-jitsi))
+*   (2023-02-25) The [rageshake](https://github.com/matrix-org/rageshake) bug report server, thanks to a PR by [Benjamin Kampmann](https://github.com/gnunicorn) (see the [changelog entry](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#rageshake-support))
+*   (2023-03-07) [Sliding Sync proxy](https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync) (currently a necessary component for [Element X](https://element.io/labs/element-x) to work), thanks to: [Benjamin Kampmann](https://github.com/gnunicorn) and [FSG-Cat](https://github.com/FSG-Cat) (see the [changelog entry](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#sliding-sync-proxy-element-x-support))

+*   (2023-10-23) Enabling federation of the room directory for Synapse (see the [changelog entry](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#enabling-allow_public_rooms_over_federation-by-default-for-synapse))
+
+The most recent change in the list above (Enabling federation of the room directory for Synapse) has been somewhat **controversial** as it goes against upstream defaults for Synapse. Nevertheless, we believe it **promotes the well-being of the Matrix Federation by improving room discovery**.
+
+**Matrix Federation Stats** (containing the percentage of servers publishing their room directory publicly) are posted to [TWIM](https://matrix.org/category/this-week-in-matrix/) each week by [Aine](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc) from [etke.cc](https://etke.cc/). The number of servers which [currently published their room directory publicly](https://matrix.org/blog/2023/12/2/this-week-in-matrix-2023-12-22/#matrix-federation-stats) stands at `26.6%`, which is:
+
+- **2.4% more** than when it was when [first published to TWIM](https://matrix.org/blog/2023/11/03/this-week-in-matrix-2023-11-03/#matrix-federation-stats) (1 month earlier, in November)
+- likely about **15+% more** than from before we flipped the switch (in October)
+
+Hopefully, Synapse defaults would also change the same way and we'd see the number of servers publicly listing their room directory grow faster.
+
+With this configuration change in place, projects like [MatrixRooms.info](https://matrixrooms.info/) (made by [etke.cc](https://etke.cc/)) and potentially others in the future, can discover, index the metadata (room address, title, topic, number of users, etc.) and make public rooms browsable & searchable across the whole Matrix Federation. It'd be great if users joining Matrix could more easily find interesting communities that match their interests!
+
+On the **media side of things**, besides Jitsi getting better Matrix integration (via the aforementioned Matrix User Verification Service), we've also had some [coturn security tightening](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#backward-compatibility-tightening-coturn-security-can-lead-to-connectivity-issues) as well as [performance optimizations](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#coturn-can-now-use-host-networking) for configurations exposing lots of network ports.
+
+[Element Call](https://github.com/element-hq/element-call) seems to have become a nice and polished product lately (as proclaimed in [The Matrix Holiday Update 2023](https://matrix.org/blog/2023/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2023/)), so 2024 is likely the year we'll see support for it in the playbook. Element Call depends on the [LiveKit](https://livekit.io/) streaming server (which is also useful to developers even by itself), so the first step is likely to see LiveKit support in mash-playbook via a reusable Ansible role. Such a LiveKit Ansible role could later easily land in matrix-docker-ansible-deploy and an Element Call static website could be hooked to it.
+
+Besides these highlights, there were many other relatively large changes announced in our [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md) and hundreds of other more minor (but still important) playbook changes that didn't get a mention.
+
+We have **hundreds of contributors to thank for their hard work** on making Matrix self-hosting better for all of us! It should be noted that **support comes in many shapes**, not only in raw code commits and financial help (via [donations](https://liberapay.com/s.pantaleev) or using the [etke.cc managed Matrix hosting service](https://etke.cc/) which is based on matrix-docker-ansible-deploy). It also comes in the shape of code reviews, helping others with [issues](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues), reporting new issues, participating in our support room on Matrix ([#matrix-docker-ansible-deploy:devture.com](https://matrix.to/#/#matrix-docker-ansible-deploy:devture.com)), etc. To everyone who has been there to make matrix-docker-ansible-deploy better in 2023, thank you! 🙇‍♂️
+
+
+# 2022
+
+For [matrix-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/), 2022 started with **breaking the** [**Synapse**](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse) **monopoly** by [adding support](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#dendrite-support) for the [Dendrite](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite) Matrix homeserver in early January. This required various internal changes so that the [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) playbook would not be Synapse-centric anymore. This groundwork paved the way for continuing in this direction and we [added support](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#conduit-support) for [Conduit](https://conduit.rs/) in August.
+
+When it comes to the `matrix-docker-ansible-deploy` Ansible playbook, 2022 was the year of the non-Synapse homeserver implementation. In practice, none of these homeserver implementations seem ready for prime-time yet and there is no migration path when coming from Synapse. Having done our job of adding support for these alternative homeserver implementations, we can say that we're not getting in the way of future progress. It's time for the Dendrite developers to push harder (development-wise) and for the Synapse developers to take a well-deserved long (infinite) break, and we may get to see more people migrating away from Synapse in the next year(s).
+
+Support for the following new **bridges** was added:
+
+*   [Postmoogle](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#postmoogle-email-bridge-support) for bi-directional email bridging, which supersedes my old and simplistic [Email2Matrix](https://github.com/devture/email2matrix) one-way bridge-bot

+
+Support for the following new **components and services** was added:
+
+*   [BorgBackup](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#borg-backup-support)

+*   [ntfy](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#ntfy-push-notifications-support) notifications
+*   [matrix-ldap-registration-proxy](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#matrix-ldap-registration-proxy-support)
+*   [matrix\_encryption\_disabler support](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#matrix_encryption_disabler-support)
+*   [synapse-s3-storage-provider](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#synapse-s3-storage-provider-support) to stop the Synapse media store from being a scalability problem. This brought along [another feature](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#synapse-container-image-customization-support) - an easier way to customize the Synapse container image without having to fork and self-build all of it from scratch
+
+Besides these major user-visible changes, a lot of work also happened **under the hood**:
+
+*   we made [major improvements to Synapse workers](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#potential-backward-compatibility-break-major-improvements-to-synapse-workers) - adding support for stream writers and for running multiple workers of various kinds (federation senders, pushers, background task processing workers, etc.)
+*   we [improved the compatibility of (Synapse + workers) with the rest of the playbook](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#backward-compatibility-break-changing-how-reverse-proxying-to-synapse-works---now-via-a-matrix-synapse-reverse-proxy-companion-service) by introducing a new `matrix-synapse-reverse-proxy-companion-service` service
+*   we started [splitting various Ansible roles out of the Matrix playbook and into independent roles](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#the-playbook-now-uses-external-roles-for-some-things) (e.g. `matrix-postgres` -> [ansible-role-postgres](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-postgres)), which could be included in other Ansible playbooks. In fact, these roles already power a few **interesting other sibling playbooks**:
+    *   [gitea-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/gitea-docker-ansible-deploy), for deploying a [Gitea](https://gitea.io/) (self-hosted [Git](https://git-scm.com/) service) server
+    *   [nextcloud-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/nextcloud-docker-ansible-deploy), for deploying a [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/) groupware server
+    *   [vaultwarden-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/vaultwarden-docker-ansible-deploy), for deploying a [Vaultwarden](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden) password manager server (unofficial [Bitwarden](https://bitwarden.com/) compatible server)
+
+These sibling playbooks co-exist nicely with one another due to using [Traefik](https://traefik.io/) for reverse-proxying, instead of trying to overtake the whole server by running their own [nginx](https://nginx.org/) reverse-proxy. Hopefully soon, the Matrix playbook will follow suit and be powered by Traefik by default.
+
+Last, but not least, to optimize our [etke.cc managed Matrix hosting service](https://etke.cc/)'s performance (but also individual Ansible playbook runs for people self-hosting by themselves using the playbook), we've [improved playbook runtime 2-5x](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/ba09705f7fbaf0108652ecbe209793b1d935eba7/CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) by employing various Ansible tricks.

 # Alternative architectures
 
-As stated in the [Prerequisites](prerequisites.md), currently only `x86_64` is fully supported. However, it is possible to set the target architecture, and some tools can be built on the host or other measures can be used.
+As stated in the [Prerequisites](prerequisites.md), currently only `amd64` (`x86_64`) is fully supported.
 
-To that end add the following variable to your `vars.yml` file (see [Configuring playbook](configuring-playbook.md)):
+The playbook automatically determines the target server's architecture (the `matrix_architecture` variable) to be one of the following:
 
-```yaml
+- `amd64` (`x86_64`)
-matrix_architecture: <your-matrix-server-architecture>
-```
-
-Currently supported architectures are the following:
-- `amd64` (the default)
-- `arm64`
 - `arm32`
+- `arm64`
 
-so for the Raspberry Pi, the following should be in your `vars.yml` file:
+Some tools and container images can be built on the host or other measures can be used to install on that architecture.
-
-```yaml
-matrix_architecture: "arm32"
-```
 
 ## Implementation details
 
 For `amd64`, prebuilt container images (see the [container images we use](container-images.md)) are used for all components (except [Hydrogen](configuring-playbook-client-hydrogen.md), which goes through self-building).
 
-For other architectures, components which have a prebuilt image make use of it. If the component is not available for the specific architecture, [self-building](self-building.md) will be used. Not all components support self-building though, so your mileage may vary.

 ## Supported Ansible versions
 
-Ansible 2.7.1 or newer is required ([last discussion about Ansible versions](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/743)).
-
-Note: Ubuntu 20.04 ships with Ansible 2.9.6 which is a buggy version (see this [bug](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ansible/+bug/1880359)), which can't be used in combination with a host running new systemd (more details in [#517](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/517), [#669](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/669)). If this problem affects you, you can: avoid running Ubuntu 20.04 on your host; run Ansible from another machine targeting your host; or try to upgrade to a newer Ansible version (see below).
-
-
-## Checking your Ansible version
-
-In most cases, you won't need to worry about the Ansible version.
-The playbook will try to detect it and tell you if you're on an unsupported version.
-
 To manually check which version of Ansible you're on, run: `ansible --version`.
 
-If you're on an old version of Ansible, you should [upgrade Ansible to a newer version](#upgrading-ansible) or [use Ansible via Docker](#using-ansible-via-docker).
+For the **best experience**, we recommend getting the **latest version of Ansible available**.
 
+We're not sure what's the minimum version of Ansible that can run this playbook successfully. The lowest version that we've confirmed (on 2022-11-26) to be working fine is: `ansible-core` (`2.11.7`) combined with `ansible` (`4.10.0`).
+
+If your distro ships with an Ansible version older than this, you may run into issues. Consider [Upgrading Ansible](#upgrading-ansible) or [using Ansible via Docker](#using-ansible-via-docker).

+Alternatively, you can run Ansible inside a Docker container (powered by the [ghcr.io/devture/ansible](https://github.com/devture/docker-ansible/pkgs/container/ansible) Docker image).
 
-Here's a sample command to get you started (run this from the playbook's directory):
+This ensures that:
 
-```bash
+- you're using a very recent Ansible version, which is less likely to be incompatible with the playbook
-docker run -it --rm \
+- you also get access to the [agru](https://github.com/etkecc/agru) tool for quicker Ansible role installation (when running `just roles`) compared to `ansible-galaxy`
+
+You can either [run Ansible in a container on the Matrix server itself](#running-ansible-in-a-container-on-the-matrix-server-itself) or [run Ansible in a container on another computer (not the Matrix server)](#running-ansible-in-a-container-on-another-computer-not-the-matrix-server).
+
+### Running Ansible in a container on the Matrix server itself
+
+To run Ansible in a (Docker) container on the Matrix server itself, you need to have a working Docker installation. Docker is normally installed by the playbook, so this may be a bit of a chicken and egg problem. To solve it:
+
+- you **either** need to install Docker manually first. Follow [the upstream instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) for your distribution and consider setting `matrix_playbook_docker_installation_enabled: false` in your `vars.yml` file, to prevent the playbook from installing Docker
+- **or** you need to run the playbook in another way (e.g. [Running Ansible in a container on another computer (not the Matrix server)](#running-ansible-in-a-container-on-another-computer-not-the-matrix-server)) at least the first time around
+
+Once you have a working Docker installation on the server, **clone the playbook** somewhere on the server and configure it as per usual (`inventory/hosts`, `inventory/host_vars/…`, etc.), as described in [configuring the playbook](configuring-playbook.md).
+
+You would then need to add `ansible_connection=community.docker.nsenter` to the host line in `inventory/hosts`. This tells Ansible to connect to the "remote" machine by switching Linux namespaces with [nsenter](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/nsenter.1.html), instead of using SSH.
+
+Alternatively, you can leave your `inventory/hosts` as is and specify the connection type in **each** `ansible-playbook` call you do later, like this: `just install-all --connection=community.docker.nsenter` (or `ansible-playbook --connection=community.docker.nsenter …`).
+
+Run this from the playbook's directory:
+
+```sh
+docker run \
+-it \
+--rm \
+--privileged \
+--pid=host \
 -w /work \
--v `pwd`:/work \
+--mount type=bind,src=`pwd`,dst=/work \
--v $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa:ro \
 --entrypoint=/bin/sh \
-docker.io/devture/ansible:2.11.6-r1
+ghcr.io/devture/ansible:11.1.0-r0-0
 ```
 
-The above command tries to mount an SSH key (`$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa`) into the container (at `/root/.ssh/id_rsa`).
+Once you execute the above command, you'll be dropped into a `/work` directory inside a Docker container. The `/work` directory contains the playbook's code.
-If your SSH key is at a different path (not in `$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa`), adjust that part.

-You can execute `ansible-playbook` commands as per normal now.
+Finally, you can execute `just` or `ansible-playbook …` (e.g. `ansible-playbook --connection=community.docker.nsenter …`) commands as per normal now.
 
-### If you don't use SSH keys for authentication
+### Running Ansible in a container on another computer (not the Matrix server)
 
-If you don't use SSH keys for authentication, simply remove that whole line (`-v $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa:ro`).
+Run this from the playbook's directory:
-To authenticate at your server using a password, you need to add a package. So, when you are in the shell of the ansible docker container (the previously used `docker run -it ...` command), run:

+--entrypoint=/bin/sh \
+ghcr.io/devture/ansible:11.1.0-r0-0
+```
+
+The above command tries to mount an SSH key (`$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519`) into the container (at `/root/.ssh/id_ed25519`). If your SSH key is at a different path (not in `$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519`), adjust that part.
+
+Once you execute the above command, you'll be dropped into a `/work` directory inside a Docker container. The `/work` directory contains the playbook's code.
+
+First, consider running `git config --global --add safe.directory /work` to [resolve directory ownership issues](#resolve-directory-ownership-issues).
+
+Finally, you execute `just` or `ansible-playbook …` commands as per normal now.
+
+#### If you don't use SSH keys for authentication
+
+If you don't use SSH keys for authentication, simply remove that whole line (`--mount type=bind,src$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519,dst=/root/.ssh/id_ed25519,ro`).
+
+To authenticate at your server using a password, you need to add a package. So, when you are in the shell of the ansible docker container (the previously used `docker run -it …` command), run:
+
+```sh
 apk add sshpass
 ```
+
 Then, to be asked for the password whenever running an `ansible-playbook` command add `--ask-pass` to the arguments of the command.
 
+#### Resolve directory ownership issues
+
+Because you're `root` in the container running Ansible and this likely differs from the owner (your regular user account) of the playbook directory outside of the container, certain playbook features which use `git` locally may report warnings such as:
+
+> fatal: unsafe repository ('/work' is owned by someone else)
+> To add an exception for this directory, call:
+>  git config --global --add safe.directory /work
+
+These errors can be resolved by making `git` trust the playbook directory by running `git config --global --add safe.directory /work`

 To set up Matrix on your domain, you'd need to do some DNS configuration.
 
-To use an identifier like `@<username>:<your-domain>`, you don't actually need
-to install anything on the actual `<your-domain>` server.
-
-You do, however need to instruct the Matrix network that Matrix services for `<your-domain>` are delegated
-over to `matrix.<your-domain>`.
-As we discuss in [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md), there are 2 different ways to set up such delegation:
-
-- either by serving a `https://<your-domain>/.well-known/matrix/server` file (from the base domain!)
-- or by  using a `_matrix._tcp` DNS SRV record (don't confuse this with the `_matrix-identity._tcp` SRV record described below)
-
-This playbook mostly discusses the well-known file method, because it's easier to manage with regard to certificates.
-If you decide to go with the alternative method ([Server Delegation via a DNS SRV record (advanced)](howto-server-delegation.md#server-delegation-via-a-dns-srv-record-advanced)), please be aware that the general flow that this playbook guides you through may not match what you need to do.
-
 ## DNS settings for services enabled by default
 
+To serve the base domain (`example.com`) and [Element Web](configuring-playbook-client-element-web.md) with the default subdomain, adjust DNS records as below.
+
 | Type  | Host      | Priority | Weight | Port | Target               |
-| ----- | ---------------------------- | -------- | ------ | ---- | ---------------------- |
+| ----- | --------- | -------- | ------ | ---- | ---------------------|
-| A     | `matrix`                     | -        | -      | -    | `matrix-server-IP`     |
+| A     | `matrix`  | -        | -      | -    | `matrix-server-IPv4` |
-| CNAME | `element`                    | -        | -      | -    | `matrix.<your-domain>` |
+| AAAA  | `matrix`  | -        | -      | -    | `matrix-server-IPv6` |
+| CNAME | `element` | -        | -      | -    | `matrix.example.com` |
+
+As the table illustrates, you need to create 2 subdomains (`matrix.example.com` and `element.example.com`) and point both of them to your server's IPv4/IPv6 address.
+
+If you don't have IPv6 connectivity yet, you can skip the `AAAA` record. For more details about IPv6, see the [Configuring IPv6](./configuring-ipv6.md) documentation page.
+
+The `element.example.com` subdomain is necessary, because this playbook installs the [Element Web](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web) client for you by default. If you'd rather instruct the playbook not to install Element Web (`matrix_client_element_enabled: false` when [Configuring the playbook](configuring-playbook.md) later), feel free to skip the `element.example.com` DNS record.
 
 Be mindful as to how long it will take for the DNS records to propagate.
 
-If you are using Cloudflare DNS, make sure to disable the proxy and set all records to `DNS only`. Otherwise, fetching certificates will fail.
+**Note**: if you are using Cloudflare DNS, make sure to disable the proxy and set all records to "DNS only". Otherwise, fetching certificates will fail.
 
-## DNS settings for optional services/features
+## DNS setting for server delegation (optional)
 
-| Type  | Host                         | Priority | Weight | Port | Target                 |
+In the sample `vars.yml` ([`examples/vars.yml`](../examples/vars.yml)), we recommend to use a short user ID like `@alice:example.com` instead of `@alice:matrix.example.com`.
-| ----- | ---------------------------- | -------- | ------ | ---- | ---------------------- |
-| SRV   | `_matrix-identity._tcp`      | 10       | 0      | 443  | `matrix.<your-domain>` |

-| CNAME | `stats`                      | -        | -      | -    | `matrix.<your-domain>` |
-| CNAME | `goneb`                      | -        | -      | -    | `matrix.<your-domain>` |
-| CNAME | `sygnal`                     | -        | -      | -    | `matrix.<your-domain>` |
-| CNAME | `hydrogen`                   | -        | -      | -    | `matrix.<your-domain>` |

-| CNAME | `buscarron`                  | -        | -      | -    | `matrix.<your-domain>` |
 
-## Subdomains setup
+To use such an ID, you don't need to install anything on the actual `example.com` server. Instead, you need to instruct the Matrix network that Matrix services for `example.com` are redirected over to `matrix.example.com`. This redirection is also known as "delegation".
 
-As the table above illustrates, you need to create 2 subdomains (`matrix.<your-domain>` and `element.<your-domain>`) and point both of them to your new server's IP address (DNS `A` record or `CNAME` record is fine).
+As we discuss in [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md), server delegation can be configured in either of these ways:
 
-The `element.<your-domain>` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook installs the [Element](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web) web client for you.
+- Setting up a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file on the base domain (`example.com`)
-If you'd rather instruct the playbook not to install Element (`matrix_client_element_enabled: false` when [Configuring the playbook](configuring-playbook.md) later), feel free to skip the `element.<your-domain>` DNS record.
+- Setting up a `_matrix._tcp` DNS SRV record
 
-The `dimension.<your-domain>` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Dimension integrations manager](http://dimension.t2bot.io/) for you. Dimension installation is disabled by default, because it's only possible to install it after the other Matrix services are working (see [Setting up Dimension](configuring-playbook-dimension.md) later). If you do not wish to set up Dimension, feel free to skip the `dimension.<your-domain>` DNS record.
+For simplicity reasons, this playbook recommends you to set up server delegation via a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file, instead of using a DNS SRV record.
 
-The `jitsi.<your-domain>` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Jitsi video-conferencing platform](https://jitsi.org/) for you. Jitsi installation is disabled by default, because it may be heavy and is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [Jitsi](configuring-playbook-jitsi.md) guide. If you do not wish to set up Jitsi, feel free to skip the `jitsi.<your-domain>` DNS record.
+If you choose the recommended method (file-based delegation), you do not need to configure the DNS record to enable server delegation. You will need to add a necessary configuration later, when you [finalize the installation](installing.md#finalize-the-installation) after installing and starting Matrix services.
 
-The `stats.<your-domain>` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) and setup performance metrics for you.

+# Configuring IPv6
+
+Since 2025-03-08, the [default example configuration](../examples/vars.yml) for the playbook recommends enabling [IPv6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6) support for Docker's container networks.
+
+**If you have IPv6 support on your server/network** (see [How do I check if my server has IPv6 connectivity?](#how-do-i-check-if-my-server-has-ipv6-connectivity)), then [enabling IPv6 support for the playbook](#enabling-ipv6-support-for-the-playbook) would give you:
+
+- 📥 incoming IPv6 connectivity to the server via the server's IPv6 address/addresses (containers won't have their own individual publicly accessible IPs)
+- 📤 outgoing IPv6 connectivity from the server via the server's IPv6 address/addresses (containers won't exit via their own individual IPv6 address)
+- 🔄 IPv6 connectivity for cross-container communication
+
+**If you still don't have IPv6 support on your server/network**, then enabling IPv6 support for the playbook will only enable IPv6 connectivity for cross-container communication and shouldn't affect your server's incoming/outgoing communication. You may also be interested in reading if [there's a performance penalty to enabling IPv6 if the server/network doesn't support IPv6 connectivity?](#is-there-a-performance-penalty-to-enabling-ipv6-if-the-server-network-doesn-t-support-ipv6-connectivity)
+
+As such, **we recommend that you follow the default example configuration and leave IPv6 support for Docker enabled in all cases**.
+
+Enabling IPv6 consists of 2 steps:
+
+- [Enabling IPv6 support for the playbook](#enabling-ipv6-support-for-the-playbook)
+- [Configuring DNS records for IPv6](#configuring-dns-records-for-ipv6)
+
+💡 If you've followed a recent version of our documentation, you would have already done these steps, so there's nothing else to do.
+
+## Enabling IPv6 support for the playbook
+
+You can enable IPv6 support for all components' Docker container networks by using the following `vars.yml` configuration:
+
+```yml
+# Controls whether container networks will be created with IPv6 support.
+#
+# If you also have IPv6 support on your server/network and AAAA DNS records pointing to the server,
+# enabling this will effectively give you full public IPv6 connectivity (powered by NAT66).
+#
+# We recommend leaving this enabled even if you don't currently have IPv6 connectivity on your server/network.
+# This way, once you eventually get IPv6 connectivity, you won't have to change anything (besides DNS records).
+#
+# Flipping this setting later on requires manual work (stopping services, deleting and recreating all container networks).
+#
+# In the future, this setting will likely default to `true`, so if you really want IPv6 disabled, explicitly set this to `false`.
+#
+# People managing Docker themselves and running an older Docker version will need additional configuration.
+#
+# Learn more in `docs/configuring-ipv6.md`.
+devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled: true
+```
+
+Doing this:
+
+- all container networks will be IPv6-enabled
+
+- NAT66 will be used, so that:
+  - containers will get [Unique Local Addresses (ULA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address)
+  - the outgoing IPv6 address for containers will be the same as the one on the server
+  - traffic destined for the IPv6 address of the server will be forwarded to the containers that handle (and publish) that specific port
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Without enabling this and assuming you have IPv6 `AAAA` DNS records pointing to the server (see [Configuring DNS records for IPv6](#configuring-dns-records-for-ipv6)), IPv6 traffic will still be handled, but NAT64 will be used instead of NAT66.
+> As such, containers will only have an IPv4 address and all IPv6 traffic that reaches them will seem to originate from a local IP. Containers also won't be able to make outgoing (even cross-container) IPv6 requests.
+
+To confirm connectivity, see the following other resources:
+
+- [How do I check if my server has IPv6 connectivity?](#how-do-i-check-if-my-server-has-ipv6-connectivity)
+- [How do I check outgoing IPv6 connectivity for containers?](#how-do-i-check-outgoing-ipv6-connectivity-for-containers)
+- [How do I check incoming IPv6 connectivity for containers?](#how-do-i-check-incoming-ipv6-connectivity-for-containers)
+- [How do I confirm if my container networks are IPv6-enabled?](#how-do-i-confirm-if-my-container-networks-are-ipv6-enabled)
+- Ensure that the [Federation Tester](https://federationtester.matrix.org/) reports that your server is reachable over IPv6.
+
+## Configuring DNS records for IPv6
+
+[Enabling IPv6 support for the playbook](#enabling-ipv6-support-for-the-playbook) tells you how to prepare for IPv6 on the container (Docker) side.
+
+For full public IPv6 connectivity (and not just IPv6 connectivity for containers inside the container networks) you also need to **ensure that your domain names** (e.g. `matrix.example.com` and others) have IPv6 (`AAAA`) DNS records pointing to the server's IPv6 address.
+
+Also see the [Configuring DNS settings](configuring-dns.md) documentation page for more details.
+
+### A note about old Docker
+
+With our [default example configuration](../examples/vars.yml), the playbook manages Docker for you and installs a modern-enough version.
+
+Docker versions newer than 27.0.1 enable IPv6 integration at the Docker daemon level out of the box. This still requires that networks are created with IPv6 support as described in the [Enabling IPv6 support for the playbook](#enabling-ipv6-support-for-the-playbook) section above.
+
+**If you're on an old Docker version** (Docker 27.0.0 or older) for some reason, it's likely that your Docker installation is not enabled for IPv6 at all. In such a case:
+
+- if Docker is managed by the playbook, you can tell it to force-enable IPv6 via `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_daemon_options_changing_enabled: true`
+
+- if Docker is managed by you manually, you can add `{"experimental": true, "ip6tables": true}` to the Docker daemon options and restart the Docker service (`docker.service`).
+
+### Frequently Asked Questions
+
+#### How do I check if my server has IPv6 connectivity?
+
+##### With curl
+
+You can run `curl https://icanhazip.com` and see if it returns an [IPv6 address](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address) (an address with `:` characters in it, like `2001:db8:1234:5678::1`). If it does, then your server has IPv6 connectivity and prefers it over using IPv4. This is common.
+
+If you see an IPv4 address instead (e.g. `1.2.3.4`), it may be that your server prefers IPv4 over IPv6 or that your network does not support IPv6. You can try forcing `curl` to use IPv6 by running `curl -6 https://icanhazip.com` and see if it returns an IPv6 address.
+
+##### With other network utilities
+
+You can run `ip -6 addr` to see if you have any IPv6 addresses assigned to your server, besides the link-local (`fe80::*`) addresses that everyone has (unless they have force-disabled IPv6 support on their system).
+
+If you do have an IPv6 address, it's still worth [using curl](#with-curl) to confirm that your server can successfully make outgoing requests over IPv6.
+
+#### What does the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting actually do?
+
+The `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting controls whether container networks will be created with IPv6 support.
+
+Changing this setting subsequently requires manual work (deleting all container networks).
+See [I've changed the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting, but it doesn't seem to have any effect](#i-ve-changed-the-devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled-setting-but-it-doesn-t-seem-to-have-any-effect).
+
+#### I've changed the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
+
+If you're using an older Docker version (Docker 27.0.0 or older), see [A note about old Docker](#a-note-about-old-docker).
+
+If you've previously installed with one `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` value and then changed it to another, you need to:
+
+- stop all services (`just stop-all`)
+- delete all container networks on the server: `docker network rm $(docker network ls -q)`
+- re-run the playbook fully: `just install-all`
+
+#### How do I confirm if my container networks are IPv6-enabled?
+
+You can list container networks by running `docker network ls` on the server.
+
+For each container network (e.g. `matrix-homeserver`), you can check if it has IPv6 connectivity by running a command like this: `docker network inspect matrix-homeserver`.
+
+Ensure that there's an IPv6 subnet/gateway in the `IPAM.Config` section. If yes, you may wish to proceed with [How do I check outgoing IPv6 connectivity for containers?](#how-do-i-check-outgoing-ipv6-connectivity-for-containers)
+
+If there's no IPv6 subnet/gateway in the `IPAM.Config` section, this container network was not created with IPv6 support.
+See [I've changed the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting, but it doesn't seem to have any effect](#i-ve-changed-the-devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled-setting-but-it-doesn-t-seem-to-have-any-effect).
+
+#### How do I check outgoing IPv6 connectivity for containers?
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm --network=matrix-homeserver quay.io/curl/curl:latest curl -6 https://icanhazip.com
+```
+
+💡 This one-off container is connected to the `matrix-homeserver` container network, not to the default Docker bridge network. The default Docker `bridge` network does not have IPv6 connectivity by default (yet) and is not influenced by the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting, so using that network (by omitting `--network=..` from the command above) will not show an IPv6 address
+
+✅ If this command returns an IPv6 address, you're all good.
+
+❌ If this command doesn't return an IPv6 address, it may be that:
+
+- your container network does not have IPv6 connectivity. See [How do I confirm if my container networks are IPv6-enabled?](#how-do-i-confirm-if-my-container-networks-are-ipv6-enabled) for more details.
+
+- your server does not have IPv6 connectivity. See [How do I check if my server has IPv6 connectivity?](#how-do-i-check-if-my-server-has-ipv6-connectivity) for more details. If you do have IPv6 connectivity, then the issue is with Docker's IPv6 configuration. Otherwise, you need to check your server's network configuration/firewall/routing and get back to configuring the playbook later on.
+
+#### How do I check incoming IPv6 connectivity for containers?
+
+Only containers that publish ports will be exposed (reachable) publicly on the server's own IPv6 address. Containers will not get their own individual public IPv6 address.
+
+For this playbook, a commonly exposed container is the Traefik reverse-proxy container (unless [you're using your own webserver](./configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md)).
+
+You can either do something like `curl -6 https://matrix.example.com` from an IPv6-enabled host (including the server itself) and see if it works.
+
+An alternative is to use the [IPv6 Port Checker](https://port.tools/port-checker-ipv6/) with a hostname of `matrix.example.com` and a port of `443`.
+
+💡 Trying to connect to `matrix.example.com` via IPv6 requires that you have already [configured the DNS records for IPv6](#configuring-dns-records-for-ipv6) as described above. If you wish to eliminate DNS as a potential issue, you can also try connecting to the server's own IPv6 address directly: `curl -6 -H 'Host: matrix.example.com' https://[2001:db8:1234:5678::1]` (we pass a `Host` header to tell Traefik which host we'd like it to serve).
+
+#### Why enable IPv6 if my network doesn't support it yet?
+
+Because when your network does get support for IPv6 later on (even if that's 5 years away), you won't have to change anything besides [configuring the DNS records for IPv6](#configuring-dns-records-for-ipv6).
+
+#### Can I use a custom subnet for IPv6?
+
+Not easily.
+
+The playbook and the various roles only support passing an `enable_ipv6` flag (`true` or `false` value depending on the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` Ansible variable) when creating the Docker container networks.
+
+There's no support for passing a custom subnet for IPv4 and IPv6. We let Docker auto-generate the subnets for us.
+
+You can either create a Pull Request that adds support for this to the various playbook roles, or you can manually recreate the networks from the command-line (e.g. `docker network rm matrix-homeserver && docker network create --ipv6 --subnet=2001:db8:1234:5678::/64 matrix-homeserver`).
+
+#### Can I use Global Unicast Addresses (GUA) for IPv6?
+
+No. You cannot have GUA addresses where each container is individually addressable over the public internet.
+
+The playbook only supports NAT66, which should be good enough for most use cases.
+
+Having containers get IPv6 addresses from your own GUA subnet requires complex configuration (ndp-proxy, etc.) and is not supported.
+
+You may find [this Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ipv6/comments/1alpzmb/comment/kphpw11/) interesting.
+
+#### Is there a performance penalty to enabling IPv6 if the server/network doesn't support IPv6 connectivity?
+
+Probably a tiny one, as services may try to make (unsuccessful) outgoing requests over IPv6.
+
+In practice, it's probably negligible.

+
+# Setting up Prometheus Alertmanager integration via matrix-alertmanager-receiver (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure the [matrix-alertmanager-receiver](https://github.com/metio/matrix-alertmanager-receiver) service for you. It's a [client](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/clients/) for Prometheus' [Alertmanager](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/alertmanager/), allowing you to deliver alerts to Matrix rooms.
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/metio/matrix-alertmanager-receiver/blob/main/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+This service is meant to be used with an external [Alertmanager](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/alertmanager/) instance. It's **not** meant to be integrated with the [Prometheus & Grafana stack](./configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md) installed by this playbook, because the Alertmanager component is not installed by it.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Register the bot account
+
+This service uses a bot (with a username specified in `matrix_alertmanager_receiver_config_matrix_user_id_localpart`) for delivering messages.
+
+The playbook does not automatically create users for you. You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot.
+
+Generate a strong password for the bot. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
+
+You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
+
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.alertmanager.receiver password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
+```
+
+### Obtain an access token
+
+The bot requires an access token to be able to connect to your homeserver. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.
+
+### Join to rooms as the bot manually
+
+ℹ️ **This bot does not accept room invitations automatically**. To deliver messages to rooms, the bot must be joined to all rooms manually.
+
+For each new room you would like the bot to deliver alerts to, invite the bot to the room.
+
+Then, log in as the bot using any Matrix client of your choosing, accept the room invitation from the bot's account, and log out.
+
+## Adjusting DNS records (optional)
+
+By default, this playbook installs matrix-alertmanager-receiver on the `matrix.` subdomain, at the `/matrix-alertmanager-receiver` path (https://matrix.example.com/matrix-alertmanager-receiver). This makes it easy to install it, because it **doesn't require additional DNS records to be set up**. If that's okay, you can skip this section.
+
+If you wish to adjust it, see the section [below](#adjusting-the-matrix-alertmanager-receiver-url-optional) for details about DNS configuration.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE` with the one created [above](#obtain-an-access-token).
+
+```yaml
+matrix_alertmanager_receiver_enabled: true
+
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
+# matrix_alertmanager_receiver_config_matrix_user_id_localpart: "bot.alertmanager.receiver"
+
+matrix_alertmanager_receiver_config_matrix_access_token: "ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
+
+# Optionally, configure some mappings (URL-friendly room name -> actual Matrix room ID).
+#
+# If you don't configure mappings, you can still deliver alerts using URLs like this:
+# https://matrix.example.com/matrix-alertmanager-receiver-RANDOM_VALUE_HERE/alert/!qporfwt:example.com
+#
+# If a mapping like the one below is configured, you can deliver alerts using friendlier URLs like this:
+# https://matrix.example.com/matrix-alertmanager-receiver-RANDOM_VALUE_HERE/alert/some-room-name
+matrix_alertmanager_receiver_config_matrix_room_mapping:
+  some-room-name: "!qporfwt:{{ matrix_domain }}"
+```
+
+### Adjusting the matrix-alertmanager-receiver URL (optional)
+
+By tweaking the `matrix_alertmanager_receiver_hostname` and `matrix_alertmanager_receiver_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Change the default hostname and path prefix
+matrix_alertmanager_receiver_hostname: alertmanager.example.com
+matrix_alertmanager_receiver_path_prefix: /
+```
+
+If you've changed the default hostname, you may need to create a CNAME record for the matrix-alertmanager-receiver domain (`alertmanager.example.com`), which targets `matrix.example.com`.
+
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the component.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-alertmanager-receiver/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-alertmanager-receiver/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the component's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_alertmanager_receiver_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Usage
+
+Configure your Prometheus Alertmanager with configuration like this:
+
+```yaml
+receivers:
+  - name: matrix
+    webhook_configs:
+      - send_resolved: true
+        url: URL_HERE
+route:
+  group_by:
+    - namespace
+  group_interval: 5m
+  group_wait: 30s
+  receiver: "matrix"
+  repeat_interval: 12h
+  routes:
+    - receiver: matrix
+```
+
+where `URL_HERE` looks like `https://matrix.example.com/matrix-alertmanager-receiver-RANDOM_VALUE_HERE/alert/some-room-name` or `https://matrix.example.com/matrix-alertmanager-receiver-RANDOM_VALUE_HERE/alert/!qporfwt:example.com`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-alertmanager-receiver`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `info`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: error, warn, info, debug
+matrix_alertmanager_receiver_container_process_argument_log_level: debug
+```

+
+# Setting up Draupnir for All/D4A (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure the [Draupnir](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir) moderation tool for you in appservice mode.
+
+Appservice mode can be used together with the regular [Draupnir bot](configuring-playbook-bot-draupnir.md) or independently. Details about the differences between the 2 modes are described below.
+
+## Draupnir Appservice mode compared to Draupnir bot mode
+
+The administrative functions for managing the appservice are alpha quality and very limited. However, the experience of using an appservice-provisioned Draupnir is on par with the experience of using Draupnir from bot mode except in the case of avatar customisation as described later on in this document.
+
+Draupnir for all is the way to go if you need more than 1 Draupnir instance, but you don't need access to Synapse Admin features as they are not accessible through Draupnir for All (Even though the commands do show up in help).
+
+Draupnir for all in the playbook is rate-limit-exempt automatically as its appservice configuration file does not specify any rate limits.
+
+Normal Draupnir does come with the benefit of access to Synapse Admin features. You are also able to more easily customise your normal Draupnir than D4A as D4A even on the branch with the Avatar command (To be Upstreamed to Mainline Draupnir) that command is clunky as it requires the use of things like Element Web devtools. In normal Draupnir this is a quick operation where you login to Draupnir with a normal client and set Avatar and Display name normally.
+
+Draupnir for all does not support external tooling like [MRU](https://mru.rory.gay) as it can't access Draupnir's user account.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Create a main management room
+
+The playbook does not create a management room for your Main Draupnir. You **need to create the room manually** before setting up the bot.
+
+Note that the room must be unencrypted.
+
+The management room has to be given an alias, and your bot has to be invited to the room.
+
+This management room is used to control who has access to your D4A deployment. The room stores this data inside of the control room state so your bot must have sufficient powerlevel to send custom state events. This is default 50 or moderator as Element clients call this powerlevel.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Anyone in this room can control the bot so it is important that you only invite trusted users to this room.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `MANAGEMENT_ROOM_ALIAS_HERE`.
+
+```yaml
+matrix_appservice_draupnir_for_all_enabled: true
+
+matrix_appservice_draupnir_for_all_config_adminRoom: "MANAGEMENT_ROOM_ALIAS_HERE"
+```
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the component.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-appservice-draupnir-for-all/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_appservice_draupnir_for_all_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
+
+For example, to change Draupnir's `protectAllJoinedRooms` option to `true`, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_appservice_draupnir_for_all_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  # Your custom YAML configuration goes here.
+  # This configuration extends the default starting configuration (`matrix_appservice_draupnir_for_all_configuration_yaml`).
+  #
+  # You can override individual variables from the default configuration, or introduce new ones.
+  #
+  # If you need something more special, you can take full control by
+  # completely redefining `matrix_appservice_draupnir_for_all_configuration_yaml`.
+  protectAllJoinedRooms: true
+```
+
+You can refer to the upstream [documentation](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir) for more configuration documentation.
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- The playbook ships a full copy of the example config that does transfer to provisioned Draupnirs in the production-bots.yaml.j2 file in the template directory of the role.
+
+- Config extension does not affect the appservices config as this config is not extensible in current Draupnir anyway. It instead touches the config passed to the Draupnirs that your Appservice creates. So the example above (`protectAllJoinedRooms: true`) makes all provisioned Draupnirs protect all joined rooms.
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+  `just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
+
+## Usage
+
+If you made it through all the steps above and your main control room was joined by a user called `@draupnir-main:example.com` you have successfully installed Draupnir for All and can now start using it.
+
+The installation of Draupnir for all in this playbook is very much Alpha quality. Usage-wise, Draupnir for all is almost identical to Draupnir bot mode.
+
+### Granting Users the ability to use D4A
+
+Draupnir for all includes several security measures like that it only allows users that are on its allow list to ask for a bot. To add a user to this list we have 2 primary options. Using the chat to tell Draupnir to do this for us or if you want to automatically do it by sending `m.policy.rule.user` events that target the subject you want to allow provisioning for with the `org.matrix.mjolnir.allow` recommendation. Using the chat is recommended.
+
+The bot requires a powerlevel of 50 in the management room to control who is allowed to use the bot. The bot does currently not say anything if this is true or false. (This is considered a bug and is documented in issue [#297](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir/issues/297))
+
+To allow users or whole homeservers you type /plain !admin allow `target` and target can be either a MXID or a wildcard like `@*:example.com` to allow all users on example.com to register. We use /plain to force the client to not attempt to mess with this command as it can break Wildcard commands especially.
+
+### How to provision a D4A once you are allowed to
+
+To provision a D4A, you need to start a chat with `@draupnir-main:example.com`. The bot will reject this invite and you will shortly get invited to the Draupnir control room for your newly provisioned Draupnir. From here its just a normal Draupnir experience.
+
+Congratulations if you made it all the way here because you now have a fully working Draupnir for all deployment.

-This playbook sets up services on your Matrix server (`matrix.DOMAIN`).

-People who don't have a separate server to dedicate to the base domain have trouble arranging this.
+# Serving the base domain (optional)
+
+By default, this playbook sets up services on your Matrix server (`matrix.example.com`), but has it configured so that it presents itself as the base domain (`example.com`). To have this server officially be responsible for Matrix services for the base domain (`example.com`), you need to set up server delegation / redirection.
+
+As we discuss in [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md), server delegation / redirection can be configured in either of these ways:
+
+- Setting up a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file on the base domain (`example.com`)
+- Setting up a `_matrix._tcp` DNS SRV record
+
+For simplicity reasons, this playbook recommends you to set up server delegation via a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file.
+
+However, those who don't have a separate server to dedicate to the base domain have trouble arranging this.
 
 Usually, there are 2 options:
 
 - either get a separate server for the base domain, just for serving the files necessary for [Server Delegation via a well-known file](howto-server-delegation.md#server-delegation-via-a-well-known-file)
 
-- or, arrange for the Matrix server to serve the base domain. This either involves you [using your own webserver](configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md) or making the integrated webserver (`matrix-nginx-proxy`) serve the base domain for you.

 ```yaml
-matrix_nginx_proxy_base_domain_serving_enabled: true
+matrix_static_files_container_labels_base_domain_enabled: true
 ```
 
 Doing this, the playbook will:
 
 - obtain an SSL certificate for the base domain, just like it does for all other domains (see [how we handle SSL certificates](configuring-playbook-ssl-certificates.md))
 
-- serve the `/.well-known/matrix/*` files which are necessary for [Federation Server Discovery](configuring-well-known.md#introduction-to-client-server-discovery) (also see [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md)) and [Client-Server discovery](configuring-well-known.md#introduction-to-client-server-discovery)

-
-- serve a simple homepage at `https://DOMAIN` with content `Hello from DOMAIN` (configurable via the `matrix_nginx_proxy_base_domain_homepage_template` variable). You can also [serve a more complicated static website](#serving-a-static-website-at-the-base-domain).

 ## Serving a static website at the base domain

+By default, when "serving the base domain" is enabled, the playbook hosts a simple `index.html` webpage at `/matrix/static-files/public/index.html`. The content of this page is taken from the `matrix_static_files_file_index_html_template` variable.
-The content of this page is taken from the `matrix_nginx_proxy_base_domain_homepage_template` variable.
 
 If you'd like to host your own static website (more than a single `index.html` page) at the base domain, you can disable the creation of this default `index.html` page like this:
 
 ```yaml
-matrix_nginx_proxy_base_domain_homepage_enabled: false
+# Enable base-domain serving
+matrix_static_files_container_labels_base_domain_enabled: true
+
+# Prevent the default index.html file from being installed

+
+# Disable the automatic redirectin of `https://example.com/` to `https://matrix.example.com/`.
+# This gets automatically enabled when you disable `matrix_static_files_file_index_html_enabled`, as we're doing above.

 ## Serving a more complicated website at the base domain
 
 If you'd like to serve an even more complicated (dynamic) website from the Matrix server, relying on the playbook to serve the base domain is not the best choice.
 
-Instead, we recommend that you switch to [using your own webserver](configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md) (preferrably nginx). You can then make that webserver host anything you wish, and still easily plug in Matrix services into it.
+You have 2 options.
+
+**One way is to host your base domain elsewhere**. This involves:
+- you stopping to serve it from the Matrix server: remove `matrix_static_files_container_labels_base_domain_enabled` from your configuration
+- [configuring Matrix Delegation via well-known](./configuring-well-known.md)
+
+**Another way is to serve the base domain from another (your own) container on the Matrix server**. This involves:
+- telling the playbook to only serve `example.com/.well-known/matrix` files by adjusting your `vars.yml` configuration like this:
+  - keep `matrix_static_files_container_labels_base_domain_enabled: true`
+  - add an extra: `matrix_static_files_container_labels_base_domain_traefik_path_prefix: /.well-known/matrix`
+- building and running a new container on the Matrix server:
+  - it should be connected to the `traefik` network, so that Traefik can reverse-proxy to it
+  - it should have appropriate [container labels](https://docs.docker.com/config/labels-custom-metadata/), which instruct Traefik to reverse-proxy to it
+
+How you'll be managing building and running this container is up-to-you. You may use of the primitives from [ansible-role-aux](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-aux) Ansible role to organize it yourself, or you can set it up in another way.

+
+<!-- no toc -->
+- [Base configuration](#base-configuration)
+- [👮‍♂️ Administrator configuration](#️-administrator-configuration)
+- [👥 Initial users configuration](#-initial-users-configuration)
+- [🤖 Configuring agents via Ansible](#-configuring-agents-via-ansible)
+- [🤝 Configuring initial default handlers](#-configuring-initial-default-handlers)
+
+Depending on your current `vars.yml` file and desired configuration, **you may require more than just the [base configuration](#base-configuration)**.
+
+### Base configuration
+
+To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_baibot_enabled: true
+
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
+# matrix_bot_baibot_config_user_mxid_localpart: baibot

+
+# An optional passphrase to use for backing up and recovering the bot's encryption keys.
+# You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
+#
+# If set to null, the recovery module will not be used and losing your session/database
+# will mean you lose access to old messages in encrypted room.
+# It's highly recommended that you configure this to avoid losing access to encrypted messages.
+#
+# Changing this subsequently will also cause you to lose access to old messages in encrypted rooms.
+# For details about changing this subsequently or resetting, see `defaults/main.yml` in the baibot role.

+
+# An optional secret for encrypting the bot's session data (see `matrix_bot_baibot_data_path`).
+# This must be 32-bytes (64 characters when HEX-encoded).
+# Generate it with: `openssl rand -hex 32`
+# Set to null or empty to avoid using encryption.

+# Changing this subsequently will make you lose your configuration.
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_persistence_config_encryption_key: 'A_HEX_STRING_OF_64_CHARACTERS_HERE'
+```
+
+As mentioned above, **this may not be enough**. Continue with the configuration sections below.
+
+### 👮‍♂️ Administrator configuration
+
+This is an addition to the [base configuration](#base-configuration).
+
+To specify who is considered a bot [👮‍♂️ Administrator](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/access.md#administrators), you either need to specify `matrix_bot_baibot_config_access_admin_patterns` or `matrix_admin`. The latter is a single variable which affects all bridges and bots.
+
+If `matrix_admin` is already configured in your `vars.yml` configuration, you can skip this section.
+
+**If necessary**, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Uncomment to add one or more admins to this bridge:
+#
+# matrix_bot_baibot_config_access_admin_patterns:
+#   - "@*:example.com"
+#   - "@admin:example.net"
+#
+# … unless you've made yourself an admin of all bots/bridges like this:
+#
+# matrix_admin: '@yourAdminAccount:{{ matrix_domain }}'
+```
+
+### 👥 Initial users configuration
+
+By default, **all users on your homeserver are considered allowed users**. If that's OK, you can skip this section.
+
+This is an addition to the [base configuration](#base-configuration).
+
+To specify who is considered a bot [👥 User](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/access.md#user), you may:
+
+- define an **initial** value for `matrix_bot_baibot_config_initial_global_config_user_patterns` Ansible variable, as shown below
+- configure the list at runtime via the bot's `!bai access set-users SPACE_SEPARATED_PATTERNS` command
+
+Configuring `matrix_bot_baibot_config_initial_global_config_user_patterns` is optional, but it can be useful to pre-configure the bot with a list of users who should have access to the bot's features.
+
+**Note**: Once initially configured, the allowed users list **cannot be managed via Ansible anymore**. It can only be managed subsequently via bot commands.
+
+**If necessary**, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Uncomment and adjust the bot users if necessary:
+#
+# Subsequent changes to `matrix_bot_baibot_config_initial_global_config_user_patterns` do not affect the bot's behavior.
+# Once initially configured, the allowed users list is managed via bot commands, not via Ansible.
+#
+# matrix_bot_baibot_config_initial_global_config_user_patterns:
+#   - "@*:{{ matrix_bot_baibot_config_homeserver_server_name }}"
+```
+
+### 🤖 Configuring agents via Ansible
+
+You are **not required** to define agents [statically](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/configuration/README.md#static-configuration) via Ansible. **To get started quickly**, you can **skip this section and define agents at runtime via chat commands** (following the bot's guidance).
+
+Privileged users (like the [👮‍♂️ Administrator](#️-administrator-configuration), but potentially others too — see the upstream [🔒 access](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/access.md) documentation) can **define agents dynamically at any time** via chat commands.
+
+The Ansible role includes preset variables for easily enabling some [🤖 agents](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/agents.md) on various [☁️ providers](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md) (e.g. OpenAI, etc).
+
+Besides the presets, the Ansible role also includes support for configuring additional statically-defined agents via the `matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_custom` Ansible variable.
+
+Agents defined statically and those created dynamically (via chat) are named differently, so **conflict cannot arise**.
+
+Depending on your propensity for [GitOps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DevOps#GitOps), you may prefer to define agents statically via Ansible, or you may wish to do it dynamically via chat.
+
+Before proceeding, we recommend reading the upstream documentation on [How to choose a provider](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md#how-to-choose-a-provider). In short, it's probably best to go with [OpenAI](#openai).
+
+#### Anthropic
+
+You can statically-define a single [🤖 agent](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/agents.md) instance powered by the [Anthropic provider](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md#anthropic) with the help of the playbook's preset variables.
+
+Here's an example **addition** to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_anthropic_enabled: true
+
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_anthropic_config_api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
+
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use another text-generation agent
+# matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_anthropic_config_text_generation_model_id: claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620
+
+# The playbook defines a default prompt for all statically-defined agents.
+# You can adjust it in the `matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_prompt` variable,
+# or you can adjust it below only for the Anthropic agent.

+#### Groq
+
+You can statically-define a single [🤖 agent](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/agents.md) instance powered by the [Groq provider](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md#groq) with the help of the playbook's preset variables.
+
+Here's an example **addition** to your `vars.yml` file:

+
+# The playbook defines a default prompt for all statically-defined agents.
+# You can adjust it in the `matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_prompt` variable,

+# matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_groq_config_speech_to_text_model_id: whisper-large-v3
+```
+
+Because this is a [statically](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/configuration/README.md#static-configuration)-defined agent, it will be given a `static/` ID prefix and will be named `static/groq`.

+
+#### Mistral
+
+You can statically-define a single [🤖 agent](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/agents.md) instance powered by the [🇫🇷 Mistral provider](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md#mistral) with the help of the playbook's preset variables.
+
+Here's an example **addition** to your `vars.yml` file:

+# matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_mistral_config_text_generation_model_id: mistral-large-latest
+```
+
+Because this is a [statically](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/configuration/README.md#static-configuration)-defined agent, it will be given a `static/` ID prefix and will be named `static/mistral`.

+
+#### OpenAI
+
+You can statically-define a single [🤖 agent](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/agents.md) instance powered by the [OpenAI provider](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md#openai) with the help of the playbook's preset variables.
+
+The OpenAI provider is **only meant to be used with OpenAI's official API** and compatibility with other services (which do not fully adhere to the OpenAI API spec completely) is limited. **If you're targeting an OpenAI-compatible service**, use the [OpenAI Compatible](#openai-compatible) provider instead.
+
+Here's an example **addition** to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_openai_enabled: true
+
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_openai_config_api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"

+# If you'd like to use another text-generation agent, uncomment and adjust:
+# matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_openai_config_text_generation_model_id: gpt-4.1
+```
+
+Because this is a [statically](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/configuration/README.md#static-configuration)-defined agent, it will be given a `static/` ID prefix and will be named `static/openai`.

+
+#### OpenAI Compatible
+
+You can statically-define a single [🤖 agent](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/agents.md) instance powered by the [OpenAI Compatible provider](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md#openai-compatible) with the help of the playbook's preset variables.
+
+This provider allows you to use OpenAI-compatible API services like [OpenRouter](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md#openrouter), [Together AI](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md#together-ai), etc.
+
+Some of these popular services already have **shortcut** providers (see [supported providers](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md#supported-providers) leading to this one behind the scenes — this make it easier to get started.
+
+As of this moment, the playbook does not include presets for any of these services, so you'll need to [Configuring additional agents (without a preset)](#configuring-additional-agents-without-a-preset).
+
+#### Configuring additional agents (without a preset)
+
+The Ansible role may be lacking preset variables for some [☁️ provider](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md), or you may wish to statically-define an agent on the same provider twice (or more) with different configuration.
+
+It's possible to inject your own agent configuration using the `matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_custom` Ansible variable.
+
+You can also define providers at runtime, by chatting with the bot, so using Ansible is not a requirement.
+
+Below is an an **example** demonstrating **statically-defining agents via Ansible without using presets**:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_custom:
+  # This agent will use the GPT 3.5 model and will only support text-generation,
+  # even though the `openai` provider could support other features (e.g. image-generation).
+  - id: my-openai-gpt-3.5-turbo-agent
+    provider: openai
+    config:
+        base_url: https://api.openai.com/v1
+        api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
+        text_generation:
+          model_id: gpt-3.5-turbo-0125
+          prompt: "{{ matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_prompt }}"
+          temperature: 1.0
+          max_response_tokens: 4096
+          max_context_tokens: 16385
+        speech_to_text: null
+        text_to_speech: null
+        image_generation: null
+
+  # This agent uses the `openai` provider, but adjusts the base URL, so that it points to some Ollama instance
+  # (which supports an OpenAI-compatible API).
+  - id: my-ollama-agent
+    provider: openai
+    config:
+      base_url: http://ollama-service:1234/v1
+      api_key: ""
+      text_generation:
+        model_id: "llama3.1:8b"
+        prompt: "{{ matrix_bot_baibot_config_agents_static_definitions_prompt }}"
+        temperature: 1.0
+        max_response_tokens: 4096
+        max_context_tokens: 128000
+          speech_to_text: null
+          text_to_speech: null
+          image_generation: null
+```
+
+Because these are [statically](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/configuration/README.md#static-configuration)-defined agents, they will be given a `static/` ID prefix and will be named `static/my-openai-gpt-3.5-turbo-agent` and `static/my-ollama-agent`, respectively.
+
+💡 To figure out what to put in the `config` section, refer to the [☁️ provider](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/providers.md) page, which contains **sample configuration YAML for each provider**.
+
+As with any [🤖 agent](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/agents.md), defining them means they exist. To actually make use of them, they need to be configured as handlers globally or in a specific room — see [Mixing & matching models](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/features.md#mixing--matching-models).
+
+💡 You may also wish to use these new agents for [🤝 Configuring initial default handlers](#-configuring-initial-default-handlers).
+
+### 🤝 Configuring initial default handlers
+
+This section is only useful if you're [🤖 Configuring agents via Ansible](#-configuring-agents-via-ansible), as it lets you put these agents to use as soon as the bot starts (by adjusting the bot's **initial global configuration**).
+
+If you're not configuring agents via Ansible, you can skip this section.
+
+This section is only useful the first time around. **Once initially configured the global configuration cannot be managed Ansible**, but only via bot commands.
+
+baibot supports [various purposes](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/features.md):
+
+- [💬 text-generation](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/features.md#-text-generation): communicating with you via text
+
+- [🦻 speech-to-text](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/features.md#-speech-to-text): turning your voice messages into text
+
+- [🗣️ text-to-speech](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/features.md#-text-to-speech): turning bot or users text messages into voice messages
+
+- [🖌️ image-generation](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/features.md#-image-generation): generating images based on instructions
+
+- ❓ catch-all: special purposes, indicating use as a fallback (when no specific handler is configured)
+
+[Mixing & matching models](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/features.md#mixing--matching-models) is made possible by the bot's ability to have different [🤝 handlers](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/configuration/handlers.md) configured for different purposes.
+
+This configuration can be done as a global fallback, or per-room. Both of these [🛠️ configurations](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/configuration/README.md) are managed at runtime (viat chat), but **the global configuration can have some initial defaults configured via Ansible**.
+
+You can configure the **initial values** for these via Ansible, via the `matrix_bot_baibot_config_initial_global_config_handler_*` variables.
+
+Example **additional** `vars.yml` configuration:
+
+```yaml
+# Note: these are initial defaults for the bot's global configuration.
+# As such, changing any of these values subsequently has no effect on the bot's behavior.
+# Once initially configured, the global configuration is managed via bot commands, not via Ansible.
+
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_initial_global_config_handler_catch_all: static/openai
+
+# In this example, there's no need to define any of these below.
+# Configuring the catch-all purpose handler is enough.
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_initial_global_config_handler_text_generation: null
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_initial_global_config_handler_text_to_speech: null
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_initial_global_config_handler_speech_to_text: null
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_initial_global_config_handler_image_generation: null
+```
+
+**Note**: these are initial defaults for the bot's global configuration. As such, changing any of these values subsequently has no effect on the bot's behavior. **Once initially configured the global configuration cannot be managed Ansible**, but only via bot commands.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bot.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-baibot/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-baibot/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bot's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_bot_baibot_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
+
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+  `just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
+
+- If you change the bot password (`matrix_bot_baibot_config_user_password` in your `vars.yml` file) subsequently, the bot user's credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically. If you'd like to change the bot user's password, use a tool like [synapse-admin](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) to change it, and then update `matrix_bot_baibot_config_user_password` to let the bot know its new password.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bot, invite it to any existing Matrix room (`/invite @baibot:example.com` where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+If you're an allowed bot [👥 user](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/access.md#user) (see [👥 Initial users configuration](#-initial-users-configuration)), the bot will accept your invitation and join the room.
+
+After joining, the bot will introduce itself and show information about the [✨ features](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/blob/main/docs/features.md) that are enabled for it.
+
+If you've [🤖 configured one or more agents via Ansible](#-configuring-agents-via-ansible) and have [🤝 configured initial default handlers](#configuring-initial-default-handlers), the bot will immediately be able to make use of these agents for this new room. Otherwise, you will need to configure agents and/or handlers via chat commands.
+
+Send `!bai help` to the bot in the room to see the available commands.
+
+You can also refer to the upstream [baibot](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot) project's documentation.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-bot-baibot`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this service is `info`. If you want to increase the verbosity to `debug` (or even `trace`), add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Adjust the bot's own logging level.
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_logging_level_baibot: debug
+
+# Adjust the logging level for the mxlink bot library used by the bot.
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_logging_level_mxlink: debug
+
+# Adjust the logging level for other libraries used by the bot.
+# Having this set to a value other than "warn" can be very noisy.
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_logging_level_other_libs: debug
+```
+
+**Alternatively**, you can use a single variable to set the logging level for all of the above (bot + all libraries):
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_baibot_config_logging: debug
+```

 # Setting up Buscarron (optional)
 
-The playbook can install and configure [buscarron](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc/buscarron) for you.
+The playbook can install and configure [Buscarron](https://github.com/etkecc/buscarron) for you.
 
-It's a bot you can use to setup **your own helpdesk on matrix**
+Buscarron is bot that receives HTTP POST submissions of web forms and forwards them to a Matrix room.
-It's a bot you can use to send any form (HTTP POST, HTML) to a (encrypted) matrix room
 
-## Registering the bot user
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/etkecc/buscarron/blob/main/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
 
-By default, the playbook will set up the bot with a username like this: `@bot.buscarron:DOMAIN`.
+## Adjusting DNS records
 
-(to use a different username, adjust the `matrix_bot_buscarron_login` variable).
+By default, this playbook installs Buscarron on the `buscarron.` subdomain (`buscarron.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `buscarron`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
-
-You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot. You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
-
-```
-ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.buscarron password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
-```
-
-Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: `pwgen -s 64 1`.
 
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
 
 ## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
-Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file:
+To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
 matrix_bot_buscarron_enabled: true
 
-# Adjust this to whatever password you chose when registering the bot user
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
+# matrix_bot_buscarron_login: bot.buscarron
+
+# Generate a strong password for the bot. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
 matrix_bot_buscarron_password: PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT
 
 # Adjust accepted forms
 matrix_bot_buscarron_forms:
-  - name: contact # (mandatory) Your form name, will be used as endpoint, eg: buscarron.DOMAIN/contact
+  - name: contact # (mandatory) Your form name, will be used as endpoint, eg: buscarron.example.com/contact
-    room: "!yourRoomID:DOMAIN" # (mandatory) Room ID where form submission will be posted
+    room: "!qporfwt:{{ matrix_domain }}" # (mandatory) Room ID where form submission will be posted
-    redirect: https://DOMAIN # (mandatory) To what page user will be redirected after the form submission
+    redirect: https://example.com # (mandatory) To what page user will be redirected after the form submission
     ratelimit: 1r/m # (optional) rate limit of the form, format: <max requests>r/<interval:s,m>, eg: 1r/s or 54r/m
+    hasemail: 1 # (optional) form has "email" field that should be validated
     extensions: [] # (optional) list of form extensions (not used yet)
 
-matrix_bot_buscarron_spam_hosts: [] # (optional) list of email domains/hosts that should be rejected automatically
+matrix_bot_buscarron_spamlist: [] # (optional) list of emails/domains/hosts (with wildcards support) that should be rejected automatically
-matrix_bot_buscarron_spam_emails: [] # (optional) list of email addresses that should be rejected automatically
 ```
 
-You will also need to add a DNS record so that buscarron can be accessed.
+### Adjusting the Buscarron URL (optional)
-By default buscarron will use https://buscarron.DOMAIN so you will need to create an CNAME record for `buscarron`.
-See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md).
 
-If you would like to use a different domain, add the following to your configuration file (changing it to use your preferred domain):
+By tweaking the `matrix_bot_buscarron_hostname` and `matrix_bot_buscarron_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
-matrix_server_fqn_buscarron: "form.{{ matrix_domain }}"
+# Switch to the domain used for Matrix services (`matrix.example.com`),
+# so we won't need to add additional DNS records for Buscarron.
+matrix_bot_buscarron_hostname: "{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}"
+
+# Expose under the /buscarron subpath
+matrix_bot_buscarron_path_prefix: /buscarron
 ```
 
+After changing the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Buscarron domain to the Matrix server.
+
+If you've decided to reuse the `matrix.` domain, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bot.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-buscarron/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
 
 ## Installing
 
-After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again:
+After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
 
-```
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
-ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
 ```
 
+**Notes**:
+
+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
+
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+  `just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
+
+- If you change the bot password (`matrix_bot_buscarron_password` in your `vars.yml` file) subsequently, the bot user's credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically. If you'd like to change the bot user's password, use a tool like [synapse-admin](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) to change it, and then update `matrix_bot_buscarron_password` to let the bot know its new password.
 
 ## Usage
 
-To use the bot, invite the `@bot.buscarron:DOMAIN` to the room you specified in a config, after that any point your form to the form url, example for the `contact` form:
+To use the bot, invite it to the room you specified on your `vars.yml` file (`/invite @bot.buscarron:example.com` where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+After the bot joins the room, anyone can call the web form via HTTP POST method.
+
+Here is an example for the `contact` form:
 
 ```html
-<form method="POST" action="https://buscarron.DOMAIN/contact">
+<form method="POST" action="https://buscarron.example.com/contact">
 <!--your fields-->
 </form>
 ```
 
-You can also refer to the upstream [documentation](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc/buscarron).
+**Note**: to fight against spam, Buscarron is **very aggressive when it comes to banning** and will ban you if:
+
+- you hit the homepage (HTTP `GET` request to `/`)
+- you submit a form to the wrong URL (`POST` request to `/non-existing-form`)
+- `hasemail` is enabled for the form (like in the example above) and you don't submit an `email` field
+
+If you get banned, you'd need to restart the process by running the playbook with `--tags=start` or running `systemctl restart matrix-bot-buscarron` on the server.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-bot-buscarron`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `INFO`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_buscarron_loglevel: DEBUG
+```

+# Setting up matrix-bot-chatgpt (optional, unmaintained)
+
+**Note**: [matrix-chatgpt-bot](https://github.com/matrixgpt/matrix-chatgpt-bot) is now an archived (**unmaintained**) project. Talking to ChatGPT (and many other LLM providers) can happen via the much more featureful [baibot](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot), which can be [installed using this playbook](configuring-playbook-bot-baibot.md). Consider using that bot instead of this one.
+
+The playbook can install and configure [matrix-chatgpt-bot](https://github.com/matrixgpt/matrix-chatgpt-bot) for you.
+
+Talk to [ChatGPT](https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/) via your favourite Matrix client!
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrixgpt/matrix-chatgpt-bot/blob/main/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Obtain an OpenAI API key
+
+To use the bot, you'd need to obtain an API key from [https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys).
+
+### Register the bot account
+
+The playbook does not automatically create users for you. You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot.
+
+Generate a strong password for the bot. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
+
+You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
+
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.chatgpt password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
+```
+
+### Obtain an access token and create encryption keys
+
+The bot requires an access token to be able to connect to your homeserver. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.
+
+To make sure the bot can read encrypted messages, it will need an encryption key, just like any other new user. While obtaining the access token, follow the prompts to setup a backup key. More information can be found in the [Element documentation](https://element.io/help#encryption6).
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `API_KEY_HERE` with the API key retrieved [here](#obtain-an-openai-api-key) and `ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE` with the access token created [here](#obtain-an-access-token-and-create-encryption-keys), respectively.
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_chatgpt_enabled: true
+
+matrix_bot_chatgpt_openai_api_key: 'API_KEY_HERE'
+
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
+# matrix_bot_chatgpt_matrix_bot_username_localpart: 'bot.chatgpt'
+
+matrix_bot_chatgpt_matrix_access_token: 'ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE'
+
+# Configuring the system prompt used, needed if the bot is used for special tasks.
+# More information: https://github.com/mustvlad/ChatGPT-System-Prompts
+matrix_bot_chatgpt_matrix_bot_prompt_prefix: 'Instructions:\nYou are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI.'
+```
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bot.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-chatgpt/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
+
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+  `just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bot, invite it to the room you specified on your `vars.yml` file (`/invite @bot.chatgpt:example.com` where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+After the bot joins the room, you can send a message to it. When you do so, use the prefix if you configured it or mention the bot.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-bot-chatgpt`.

+# Setting up Draupnir (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure the [Draupnir](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir) moderation bot for you.
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+This documentation page is about installing Draupnir in bot mode. As an alternative, you can run a multi-instance Draupnir deployment by installing [Draupnir in appservice mode](./configuring-playbook-appservice-draupnir-for-all.md) (called Draupnir-for-all) instead.
+
+If your migrating from [Mjolnir](configuring-playbook-bot-mjolnir.md), skip to [this section](#migrating-from-mjolnir-only-required-if-migrating).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Create a management room
+
+Using your own account, create a new invite only room that you will use to manage the bot. This is the room where you will see the status of the bot and where you will send commands to the bot, such as the command to ban a user from another room.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Anyone in this room can control the bot so it is important that you only invite trusted users to this room.
+
+It is possible to make the management room encrypted (E2EE). If doing so, then you need to enable the native E2EE support (see [below](#native-e2ee-support)).
+
+Once you have created the room you need to copy the room ID so you can specify it on your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file. In Element Web you can check the ID by going to the room's settings and clicking "Advanced". The room ID will look something like `!qporfwt:example.com`.
+
+## End-to-End Encryption support
+
+Decide whether you want to support having an encrypted management room or not. Draupnir can still protect encrypted rooms without encryption support enabled.
+
+Refer to Draupnir's [documentation](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/moderator/managing-protected-rooms#protecting-encrypted-rooms) for more details about why you might want to care about encryption support for protected rooms.
+
+### Disable Pantalaimon for Draupnir (since v2.0.0; optional)
+
+It is known that running Draupnir along with Pantalaimon breaks all workflows that involve answering prompts with reactions.
+
+If you are updating Draupnir from v1.x.x and have enabled Pantalaimon for it, you can disable Pantalaimon in favor of the native E2EE support. To disable Pantalaimon, remove the configuration `matrix_bot_draupnir_pantalaimon_use: true` from your `vars.yml` file.
+
+**Note**: because the management room is still encrypted, disabling it without enabling the native E2EE support will break the management room.
+
+### Native E2EE support
+
+To enable the native E2EE support, you need to obtain an access token for Draupnir and set it on your `vars.yml` file.
+
+Note that native E2EE requires a clean access token that has not touched E2EE so curl is recommended as a method to obtain it. **The access token obtained via Element Web does not work with it**. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token via curl](obtaining-access-tokens.md#obtain-an-access-token-via-curl).
+
+To enable the native E2EE support, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `CLEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE` with the access token you obtained just now.
+
+```yaml
+# Enables the native E2EE support
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_experimentalRustCrypto: true
+
+# Access token which the bot will use for logging in.
+# Comment out `matrix_bot_draupnir_login_native` when using this option.
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_accessToken: "CLEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
+```
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `MANAGEMENT_ROOM_ID_HERE` with the one of the room which you have created earlier.
+
+```yaml
+# Enable Draupnir
+matrix_bot_draupnir_enabled: true
+
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
+# matrix_bot_draupnir_login: bot.draupnir
+
+# Generate a strong password for the bot. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
+# If creating the user on your own and using `matrix_bot_draupnir_config_accessToken` to login you can comment out this line.
+matrix_bot_draupnir_password: PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT
+
+# Comment out if using `matrix_bot_draupnir_config_experimentalRustCrypto: true` or `matrix_bot_draupnir_config_accessToken` to login.
+matrix_bot_draupnir_login_native: true
+
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_managementRoom: "MANAGEMENT_ROOM_ID_HERE"
+```
+
+### Create and invite the bot to the management room
+
+Before proceeding to the next step, run the playbook with the following command to create the bot user.
+
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created
+```
+
+**Note**: the `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
+
+Then, invite the bot (`@bot.draupnir:example.com`) to its management room which you have created earlier.
+
+### Make sure the account is free from rate limiting (optional, recommended)
+
+If your homeserver's implementation is Synapse, you will need to prevent it from rate limiting the bot's account. **This is a highly recommended step. If you do not configure it, Draupnir performance will be degraded.**
+
+This can be done using Synapse's [Admin APIs](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#override-ratelimiting-for-users). They can be accessed both externally and internally.
+
+**Note**: access to the APIs is restricted with a valid access token, so exposing them publicly should not be a real security concern. Still, doing so is not recommended for additional security. See [official Synapse reverse-proxying recommendations](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/reverse_proxy.html#synapse-administration-endpoints).
+
+The APIs can also be accessed via [Synapse Admin](https://github.com/etkecc/synapse-admin), a web UI tool you can use to administrate users, rooms, media, etc. on your Matrix server. The playbook can install and configure Synapse Admin for you. For details about it, see [this page](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md).
+
+#### Add the configuration
+
+To expose the APIs publicly, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_synapse_container_labels_public_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled: true
+```
+
+#### Obtain an access token for admin account
+
+Manual access to Synapse's Admin APIs requires an access token for a homeserver admin account. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.
+
+#### Run the `curl` command
+
+To disable rate limiting, run the following command on systems that ship curl. Before running it, make sure to replace:
+
+- `ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE` with the access token of the admin account
+- `example.com` with your base domain
+- `@bot.draupnir:example.com` with the MXID of your Draupnir bot user
+
+```sh
+curl --header "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE" -X POST https://matrix.example.com/_synapse/admin/v1/users/@bot.draupnir:example.com/override_ratelimit
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+- This does not work on outdated Windows 10 as curl is not available there.
+- Even if the APIs are not exposed to the internet, you should still be able to run the command on the homeserver locally.
+
+### Abuse Reports
+
+Draupnir can receive reports in the management room.
+
+The bot can intercept the report API endpoint of the client-server API, which requires integration with the reverse proxy in front of the homeserver. If you are using Traefik, this playbook can set this up for you:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_web_abuseReporting: true
+```
+
+### Enabling synapse-http-antispam support
+
+Certain protections in Draupnir require the [synapse-http-antispam](https://github.com/maunium/synapse-http-antispam) module and a Synapse homeserver plus homeserver admin status to function. This module can be enabled in the playbook via setting `matrix_bot_draupnir_config_web_synapseHTTPAntispam_enabled` to `true` and making sure that Draupnir admin API access is enabled.
+
+```yaml
+# Enables the integration between Draupnir and synapse-http-antispam module.
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_web_synapseHTTPAntispam_enabled: true
+
+# Enables draupnir to access Synapse admin APIs. This is required for the module functionality to take full effect.
+matrix_bot_draupnir_admin_api_enabled: true
+```
+
+These protections need to be manually activated and consulting the [enabling protections](#enabling-built-in-protections) guide can be helpful or consulting upstream documentation.
+
+<!--
+NOTE: this is unsupported by the playbook due to the admin API being inaccessible from containers currently.
+
+The other method polls an Synapse Admin API endpoint, hence it is available only if using Synapse and if the Draupnir user is an admin (see [above](#register-the-bot-account)). To enable it, set `pollReports: true` on `vars.yml` file as below.
+-->
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bot.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-draupnir/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_bot_draupnir_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
+
+For example, to change Draupnir's `acceptInvitesFromSpace` option to `!qporfwt:example.com`, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_draupnir_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  # Your custom YAML configuration goes here.
+  # This configuration extends the default starting configuration (`matrix_bot_draupnir_configuration_yaml`).
+  #
+  # You can override individual variables from the default configuration, or introduce new ones.
+  #
+  # If you need something more special, you can take full control by
+  # completely redefining `matrix_bot_draupnir_configuration_yaml`.
+  acceptInvitesFromSpace: "!qporfwt:example.com"
+```
+
+### Migrating from Mjolnir (Only required if migrating)
+
+Replace your `matrix_bot_mjolnir` config with `matrix_bot_draupnir` config. Also disable Mjolnir if you're doing migration.
+
+Note that Draupnir supports E2EE natively, so you can enable it instead of Pantalaimon. It is recommended to consult the instruction [here](#native-e2ee-support).
+
+That is all you need to do due to that Draupnir can complete migration on its own.
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
+
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+  `just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
+
+- If you change the bot password (`matrix_bot_draupnir_password` in your `vars.yml` file) subsequently, the bot user's credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically. If you'd like to change the bot user's password, use a tool like [synapse-admin](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) to change it, and then update `matrix_bot_draupnir_password` to let the bot know its new password.
+
+## Usage
+
+You can refer to the upstream [documentation](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/) for additional ways to use and configure Draupnir and for a more detailed usage guide.
+
+Below is a **non-exhaustive quick-start guide** for the impatient.
+
+### Making Draupnir join and protect a room
+
+Draupnir can be told to self-join public rooms, but it's better to follow this flow which works well for all kinds of rooms:
+
+1. Invite the bot to the room manually ([inviting Draupnir to rooms](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/moderator/managing-protected-rooms#inviting-draupnir-to-rooms)). Before joining, the bot *may* ask for confirmation in the Management Room
+
+2. [Give the bot permissions to do its job](#giving-draupnir-permissions-to-do-its-job)
+
+3. Tell it to protect the room (using the [rooms command](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/moderator/managing-protected-rooms#using-the-draupnir-rooms-command)) by sending the following command to the Management Room: `!draupnir rooms add !qporfwt:example.com`
+
+To have Draupnir provide useful room protection, you need do to a bit more work (at least the first time around). You may wish to [Subscribe to a public policy list](#subscribing-to-a-public-policy-list), [Create your own own policy and rules](#creating-your-own-policy-lists-and-rules) and [Enabling built-in protections](#enabling-built-in-protections).
+
+### Giving Draupnir permissions to do its job
+
+For Draupnir to do its job, you need to [give it permissions](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/moderator/managing-protected-rooms#giving-draupnir-permissions) in rooms it's protecting. This involves **giving it an Administrator power level**.
+
+**We recommend setting this power level as soon as the bot joins your room** (and before you create new rules), so that it can apply rules as soon as they are available. If the bot is under-privileged, it may fail to apply protections and may not retry for a while (or until your restart it).
+
+### Subscribing to a public policy list
+
+We recommend **subscribing to a public [policy list](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/concepts/policy-lists)** using the [watch command](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/moderator/managing-policy-lists#using-draupnirs-watch-command-to-subscribe-to-policy-rooms).
+
+Policy lists are maintained in Matrix rooms. A popular policy list is maintained in the public `#community-moderation-effort-bl:neko.dev` room.
+
+You can tell Draupnir to subscribe to it by sending the following command to the Management Room: `!draupnir watch #community-moderation-effort-bl:neko.dev`
+
+#### Creating your own policy lists and rules
+
+We also recommend **creating your own policy lists** with the [list create](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/moderator/managing-policy-lists#using-draupnirs-list-create-command-to-create-a-policy-room) command.
+
+You can do so by sending the following command to the Management Room: `!draupnir list create my-bans my-bans-bl`. This will create a policy list having a name (shortcode) of `my-bans` and stored in a public `#my-bans-bl:example.com` room on your server. As soon as you run this command, the bot will invite you to the policy list room.
+
+A policy list does nothing by itself, so the next step is **adding some rules to your policy list**. Policies target a so-called `entity` (one of: `user`, `room` or `server`). These entities are mentioned on the [policy lists](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/concepts/policy-lists) documentation page and in the Matrix Spec [here](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.11/client-server-api/#mban-recommendation).
+
+The simplest and most useful entity to target is `user`. Below are a few examples using the [ban command](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/moderator/managing-users#the-ban-command) and targeting users.
+
+To create rules, you run commands in the Management Room (**not** in the policy list room).
+
+- (ban a single user on a given homeserver): `!draupnir ban @charles:example.com my-bans Rude to others`
+- (ban all users on a given homeserver by using a [wildcard](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/moderator/managing-users#wildcards)): `!draupnir ban @*:example.org my-bans Spam server - all users are fake`
+
+As a result of running these commands, you may observe:
+
+- Draupnir creating `m.policy.rule.user` state events in the `#my-bans-bl:example.com` room on your server
+- applying these rules against all rooms that Draupnir is an Administrator in
+
+You can undo bans with the [unban command](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/moderator/managing-users#the-unban-command).
+
+### Enabling built-in protections
+
+You can also **turn on various built-in [protections](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/protections)** like `JoinWaveShortCircuit` ("If X amount of users join in Y time, set the room to invite-only").
+
+To **see which protections are available and which are enabled**, send a `!draupnir protections` command to the Management Room.
+
+To **see the configuration options for a given protection**, send a `!draupnir protections show PROTECTION_NAME` (e.g. `!draupnir protections show JoinWaveShortCircuit`).
+

+# Setting up Go-NEB (optional, unmaintained)
+
+**Note**: [Go-NEB](https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb) is now an archived (**unmaintained**) project. We recommend not bothering with installing it. While not a 1:1 replacement, the bridge's author suggests taking a look at [matrix-hookshot](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-hookshot) as a replacement, which can also be [installed using this playbook](configuring-playbook-bridge-hookshot.md). Consider using that bot instead of this one.
 
 The playbook can install and configure [Go-NEB](https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb) for you.
 
 Go-NEB is a Matrix bot written in Go. It is the successor to Matrix-NEB, the original Matrix bot written in Python.
 
-See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

+## Prerequisites
 
-## Registering the bot user
+### Register the bot account
 
-The playbook does not automatically create users for you. The bot requires at least 1 access token to be able to connect to your homeserver.
+The playbook does not automatically create users for you. You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot.
 
-You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot.
+Generate a strong password for the bot. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
-
-Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: `pwgen -s 64 1`.
 
 You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
 
-```
+```sh
 ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.go-neb password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
 ```
 
+### Obtain an access token
 
-## Getting an access token
+The bot requires an access token to be able to connect to your homeserver. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
 
-If you use curl, you can get an access token like this:
+> [!WARNING]
+> Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.
 
-```
+## Adjusting DNS records
-curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
-    "identifier": { "type": "m.id.user", "user": "bot.go-neb" },
-    "password": "a strong password",
-    "type": "m.login.password"
-}' 'https://matrix.YOURDOMAIN/_matrix/client/r0/login'
-```
 
-Alternatively, you can use a full-featured client (such as Element) to log in and get the access token from there (note: don't log out from the client as that will invalidate the token), but doing so might lead to decryption problems. That warning comes from [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb#quick-start).
+By default, this playbook installs Go-NEB on the `goneb.` subdomain (`goneb.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `goneb`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
 
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
 
 ## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
-Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
+To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `ACCESS_TOKEN_FOR_GONEB_HERE` and `ACCESS_TOKEN_FOR_ANOTHER_GONEB_HERE` with the ones created [above](#obtain-an-access-token).

+### Adjusting the Go-NEB URL (optional)
+
+By tweaking the `matrix_bot_go_neb_hostname` and `matrix_bot_go_neb_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Switch to the domain used for Matrix services (`matrix.example.com`),
+# so we won't need to add additional DNS records for Go-NEB.
+matrix_bot_go_neb_hostname: "{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}"
+
+# Expose under the /go-neb subpath
+matrix_bot_go_neb_path_prefix: /go-neb
+```
+
+After changing the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Go-NEB domain to the Matrix server.
+
+If you've decided to reuse the `matrix.` domain, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bot.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-go-neb/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-go-neb/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bot's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_bot_go_neb_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
 
 ## Installing
 
-Don't forget to add `goneb.<your-domain>` to DNS as described in [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md) before running the playbook.
+After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
 
-After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again:
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
-
+```sh
-```
 ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
 ```
 
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
 
 ## Usage
 
-To use the bot, invite it to any existing Matrix room (`/invite @whatever_you_chose:DOMAIN` where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain, make sure you have permission from the room owner if that's not you).
+To use the bot, invite it to any existing Matrix room (`/invite @bot.go-neb:example.com` where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain). Make sure you are granted with the sufficient permission if you are not the room owner.
 
 Basic usage is like this: `!echo hi` or `!imgur puppies` or `!giphy matrix`
 
-If you enabled the github_cmd service you can get the supported commands via `!github help`
+If you enabled the github_cmd service, send `!github help` to the bot in the room to see the available commands.
 
 You can also refer to the upstream [Documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-bot-go-neb`.

 ## Usage
 
-To use the bot, create a **non-encrypted** room and invite `@bot.matrix-registration-bot:DOMAIN` (where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+To use the bot, start a chat with `@bot.matrix-registration-bot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
 
-In this room send `help` and the bot will reply with all options.
+Send `help` to the bot to see the available commands.
 
 You can also refer to the upstream [Usage documentation](https://github.com/moan0s/matrix-registration-bot#supported-commands).
-If you have any questions, or if you need help setting it up, read the [troublshooting guide](https://github.com/moan0s/matrix-registration-bot/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md)

 # Setting up matrix-reminder-bot (optional)
 
 The playbook can install and configure [matrix-reminder-bot](https://github.com/anoadragon453/matrix-reminder-bot) for you.
 
 It's a bot you can use to **schedule one-off & recurring reminders and alarms**.

-
-## Registering the bot user
-
-By default, the playbook will set up the bot with a username like this: `@bot.matrix-reminder-bot:DOMAIN`.
-
-(to use a different username, adjust the `matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_matrix_user_id_localpart` variable).
-
-You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot. You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
-
-```
-ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.matrix-reminder-bot password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
-```
-
-Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: `pwgen -s 64 1`.
-
 
 ## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
-Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file:
+To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
 matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_enabled: true
 
-# Adjust this to whatever password you chose when registering the bot user
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
+# matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_matrix_user_id_localpart: bot.matrix-reminder-bot
+
+# Generate a strong password for the bot. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
 matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_matrix_user_password: PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT
 
 # Adjust this to your timezone
 matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_reminders_timezone: Europe/London
 ```
 
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bot.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-matrix-reminder-bot/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-matrix-reminder-bot/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bot's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
 
 ## Installing
 
-After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again:
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:

+
+# Setting up maubot (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure [maubot](https://github.com/maubot/maubot) for you.
+
+After setting up maubot, you can use the web management interface to make it do things. The default location of the management interface is `matrix.example.com/_matrix/maubot/`
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/maubot/usage/basic.html) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+## Adjusting DNS records (optional)
+
+By default, this playbook installs maubot on the `matrix.` subdomain, at the `/_matrix/maubot/` path (https://matrix.example.com/_matrix/maubot/). This makes it easy to install it, because it **doesn't require additional DNS records to be set up**.
+
+If you wish to adjust it, see the section [below](#adjusting-the-maubot-url-optional) for details about DNS configuration.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_maubot_enabled: true
+
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
+# matrix_bot_maubot_login: bot.maubot
+
+# Generate a strong password for the bot. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
+matrix_bot_maubot_initial_password: PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT
+
+matrix_bot_maubot_admins:
+  - yourusername: securepassword
+```
+
+You can add multiple admins. The admin accounts are only used to access the maubot administration interface.
+
+### Adjusting the maubot URL (optional)
+
+By tweaking the `matrix_bot_maubot_hostname` and `matrix_bot_maubot_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Change the default hostname and path prefix
+matrix_bot_maubot_hostname: maubot.example.com
+matrix_bot_maubot_path_prefix: /
+```
+
+If you've changed the default hostname, you may need to create a CNAME record for the maubot domain (`maubot.example.com`), which targets `matrix.example.com`.
+
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bot.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-maubot/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-maubot/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bot's default configuration
+
+## Customizing the maubot container image
+
+Certain [maubot plugins](https://plugins.mau.bot/) require additional dependencies to be installed.
+
+You can customize the default maubot container image and install your own dependencies.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_maubot_container_image_customizations_enabled: true
+
+# Adjust the Dockerfile and install ffmpeg.
+#
+matrix_bot_maubot_container_image_customizations_dockerfile_body_custom: |
+  RUN apk add --no-cache ffmpeg
+```
+
+Consult the [Dockerfile reference](https://docs.docker.com/reference/dockerfile/) for more information about the syntax.
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
+
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+  `just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
+
+- If you change the bot password (`matrix_bot_maubot_initial_password` in your `vars.yml` file) subsequently, the bot user's credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically. If you'd like to change the bot user's password, use a tool like [synapse-admin](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) to change it, and then update `matrix_bot_maubot_initial_password` to let the bot know its new password.
+
+## Usage
+
+By default, you can visit `matrix.example.com/_matrix/maubot/` to manage your available plugins, clients and instances.
+
+You should start in the following order
+1. **Create one or more clients**: A client is a Matrix account which the bot will use to message. By default, the playbook creates a `bot.maubot` account (as per the configuration above). You only need to [obtain an access token](#obtaining-an-access-token) for it
+2. **Upload some Plugins**: Plugins can be obtained from [here](https://github.com/maubot/maubot#plugins) or any other source.
+3. **Create an instance**: An instance is the actual bot. You have to specify a client which the bot instance will use and the plugin (how the bot will behave)
+
+## Obtain an access token
+
+This can be done via `mbc login` then `mbc auth` (see the [maubot documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/maubot/usage/cli/auth.html)). To run these commands, you'll first need to `exec` into the maubot container with `docker exec -it matrix-bot-maubot sh`.
+
+Alternatively, you can refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md). Be aware that you'd better use the **Obtain an access token via curl** method (not **Obtain an access token via Element Web**) as the latter will causes issues to your bot in encrypted rooms. Read [more](https://docs.mau.fi/maubot/usage/basic.html#creating-clients).
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-bot-maubot`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `WARNING`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG
+matrix_bot_maubot_logging_level: DEBUG

 # Setting up Mjolnir (optional)
 
 The playbook can install and configure the [Mjolnir](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir) moderation bot for you.
 
-See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir/blob/main/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

-```
+```sh
 ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.mjolnir password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
 ```
 
 If you would like Mjolnir to be able to deactivate users, move aliases, shutdown rooms, etc then it must be a server admin so you need to change `admin=no` to `admin=yes` in the command above.
 
+### Obtain an access token
 
-## 2. Get an access token
+The bot requires an access token to be able to connect to your homeserver. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
 
-If you use curl, you can get an access token like this:
+> [!WARNING]
+> Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.
 
-```
+### Make sure the account is free from rate limiting
-curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
-    "identifier": { "type": "m.id.user", "user": "bot.mjolnir" },
-    "password": "PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT",
-    "type": "m.login.password"
-}' 'https://matrix.DOMAIN/_matrix/client/r0/login'
-```
 
-Alternatively, you can use a full-featured client (such as Element) to log in and get the access token from there (note: don't log out from the client as that will invalidate the token).
+If your homeserver's implementation is Synapse, you will need to prevent it from rate limiting the bot's account. **This is a required step. If you do not configure it, Mjolnir will crash.**
 
+This can be done using Synapse's [Admin APIs](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#override-ratelimiting-for-users). They can be accessed both externally and internally.
 
-## 3. Make sure the account is free from rate limiting
+**Note**: access to the APIs is restricted with a valid access token, so exposing them publicly should not be a real security concern. Still, doing so is not recommended for additional security. See [official Synapse reverse-proxying recommendations](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/reverse_proxy.html#synapse-administration-endpoints).
 
-You will need to prevent Synapse from rate limiting the bot's account. This is not an optional step. If you do not do this step Mjolnir will crash. [Currently there is no Synapse config option for this](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6286) so you have to manually edit the Synapse database. Manually editing the Synapse database is rarely a good idea but in this case it is required. Please ask for help if you are uncomfortable with these steps.
+The APIs can also be accessed via [Synapse Admin](https://github.com/etkecc/synapse-admin), a web UI tool you can use to administrate users, rooms, media, etc. on your Matrix server. The playbook can install and configure Synapse Admin for you. For details about it, see [this page](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md).
 
-1. Copy the statement below into a text editor. 
+#### Add the configuration
 
-	```
+To expose the APIs publicly, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
-	INSERT INTO ratelimit_override VALUES ('@bot.mjolnir:DOMAIN', 0, 0);
-	```
-
-1. Change the username (`@bot.mjolnir:DOMAIN`) to the username you used when you registered the bot's account. You must change `DOMAIN` to your server's domain.
-
-1. Get a database terminal by following these steps: [maintenance-postgres.md#getting-a-database-terminal](maintenance-postgres.md#getting-a-database-terminal)
-
-1. Connect to Synapse's database by typing `\connect synapse` into the database terminal
-
-1. Paste in the `INSERT INTO` command that you edited and press enter.
-
-You can run `SELECT * FROM ratelimit_override;` to see if it worked. If the output looks like this:
-
-```
-      user_id          | messages_per_second | burst_count
------------------------+---------------------+-------------
- @bot.mjolnir:raim.ist |                   0 |           0`
-```
-then you did it correctly.
-
-
-## 4. Create a management room
-
-Using your own account, create a new invite only room that you will use to manage the bot. This is the room where you will see the status of the bot and where you will send commands to the bot, such as the command to ban a user from another room. Anyone in this room can control the bot so it is important that you only invite trusted users to this room. The room must be unencrypted since the playbook does not support installing Pantalaimon yet.
-
-Once you have created the room you need to copy the room ID so you can tell the bot to use that room. In Element you can do this by going to the room's settings, clicking Advanced, and then coping the internal room ID. The room ID will look something like `!QvgVuKq0ha8glOLGMG:DOMAIN`.
-
-Finally invite the `@bot.mjolnir:DOMAIN` account you created earlier into the room.
-
-
-## 5. Adjusting the playbook configuration
-
-Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
-
-You must replace `ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_STEP_2_GOES_HERE` and `ROOM_ID_FROM_STEP_4_GOES_HERE` with the your own values.
 
 ```yaml
-matrix_bot_mjolnir_enabled: true
+matrix_synapse_container_labels_public_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled: true
-
-matrix_bot_mjolnir_access_token: "ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_STEP_2_GOES_HERE"
-
-matrix_bot_mjolnir_management_room: "ROOM_ID_FROM_STEP_4_GOES_HERE"
 ```
 
-## 6. Adding mjolnir synapse antispam module (optional)
+#### Obtain an access token for admin account
 
-Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
+Manual access to Synapse's Admin APIs requires an access token for a homeserver admin account. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md). If you have made Mjolnir an admin, you can just use the Mjolnir token.
 
+> [!WARNING]
+> Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.
+
+#### Run the `curl` command
+
+To disable rate limiting, run the following command on systems that ship curl. Before running it, make sure to replace:
+
+- `ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE` with the access token of the admin account
+- `example.com` with your base domain
+- `@bot.mjolnir:example.com` with the MXID of your Mjolnir bot user
+
+```sh
+curl --header "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE" -X POST https://matrix.example.com/_synapse/admin/v1/users/@bot.mjolnir:example.com/override_ratelimit
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+- This does not work on outdated Windows 10 as curl is not available there.
+- Even if the APIs are not exposed to the internet, you should still be able to run the command on the homeserver locally.
+
+### Create a management room
+
+Using your own account, create a new invite only room that you will use to manage the bot. This is the room where you will see the status of the bot and where you will send commands to the bot, such as the command to ban a user from another room.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Anyone in this room can control the bot so it is important that you only invite trusted users to this room.
+
+It is possible to make the management room encrypted (E2EE). If doing so, then you MUST enable and use Pantalaimon (see [below](#configuration-with-e2ee-support)).
+
+Once you have created the room you need to copy the room ID so you can specify it on your `vars.yml` file. In Element Web you can check the ID by going to the room's settings and clicking "Advanced". The room ID will look something like `!qporfwt:example.com`.
+
+Finally invite the `@bot.mjolnir:example.com` account you created earlier into the room.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `MANAGEMENT_ROOM_ID_HERE` with the one of the room which you have created just now.
+
+```yaml
+# Enable Mjolnir
+matrix_bot_mjolnir_enabled: true
+
+matrix_bot_mjolnir_management_room: "MANAGEMENT_ROOM_ID_HERE"
+```
+
+### End-to-End Encryption support
+
+Decide whether you want Mjolnir to be capable of operating in end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) rooms. This includes the management room and the moderated rooms.
+
+To support E2EE, Mjolnir needs to [use Pantalaimon](configuring-playbook-pantalaimon.md).
+
+#### Configuration with E2EE support
+
+When using Pantalaimon, Mjolnir will log in to its bot account itself through Pantalaimon, so configure its username and password.
+
+Add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
+
+```yaml
+# Enable Pantalaimon. See docs/configuring-playbook-pantalaimon.md
+matrix_pantalaimon_enabled: true
+
+# Tell Mjolnir to use Pantalaimon
+matrix_bot_mjolnir_pantalaimon_use: true
+
+# User name and password for the bot you have created above. Required when using Pantalaimon.
+matrix_bot_mjolnir_pantalaimon_username: "bot.mjolnir"
+matrix_bot_mjolnir_pantalaimon_password: "PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT"
+```
+
+The playbook's `group_vars` will configure other required settings. If using this role separately without the playbook, you also need to configure the two URLs that Mjolnir uses to reach the homeserver, one through Pantalaimon and one "raw". This example is taken from the playbook's `group_vars`:
+
+```yaml
+# Endpoint URL that Mjolnir uses to interact with the Matrix homeserver (client-server API).
+# Set this to the pantalaimon URL if you're using that.
+matrix_bot_mjolnir_homeserver_url: "{{ 'http://matrix-pantalaimon:8009' if matrix_bot_mjolnir_pantalaimon_use else matrix_addons_homeserver_client_api_url }}"
+
+# Endpoint URL that Mjolnir could use to fetch events related to reports (client-server API and /_synapse/),
+# only set this to the public-internet homeserver client API URL, do NOT set this to the pantalaimon URL.
+matrix_bot_mjolnir_raw_homeserver_url: "{{ matrix_addons_homeserver_client_api_url }}"
+```
+
+#### Configuration without E2EE support
+
+When NOT using Pantalaimon, Mjolnir does not log in by itself and you must give it an access token for its bot account.
+
+Add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE` with the one created [above](#obtain-an-access-token).
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_mjolnir_access_token: "ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
+```
+
+### Adding Mjolnir synapse antispam module (optional)
+

+
+  `just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
+
+- If you change the Pantalaimon's password (`matrix_bot_mjolnir_pantalaimon_password` in your `vars.yml` file) subsequently, its credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically. If you'd like to change the password, use a tool like [synapse-admin](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) to change it, and then update `matrix_bot_mjolnir_pantalaimon_password` to let Pantalaimon know its new password.

+## Usage
+
+You can refer to the upstream [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir) for additional ways to use and configure Mjolnir. Check out their [quickstart guide](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir#quickstart-guide) for some basic commands you can give to the bot.

+### Create a Classic Slack App
 
-1. Create a new Matrix room to act as the administration control room. Note its internal room ID. This can
+First, you need to create a Classic Slack App [here](https://api.slack.com/apps?new_classic_app=1).
-be done in Element by making a message, opening the options for that message and choosing "view source". The
+
-room ID will be displayed near the top.
+Name the app "matrixbot" (or anything else you'll remember). Select the team/workspace this app will belong to. Click on bot users and add a new bot user. We will use this account to bridge the the rooms.
-2. Enable the bridge with the following configuration in your `vars.yml` file:
+
+Then, click on Event Subscriptions and enable them and use the request url: `https://matrix.example.com/appservice-slack`.
+
+Add the following events as `Bot User Events` and save:
+
+- team_domain_change
+- message.channels
+- message.groups (if you want to bridge private channels)
+- reaction_added
+- reaction_removed
+
+Next, click on "OAuth & Permissions" and add the following scopes:
+
+- chat:write:bot
+- users:read
+- reactions:write
+- files:write:user (if you want to bridge files)
+
+**Note**: In order to make Slack files visible to Matrix users, this bridge will make Slack files visible to anyone with the url (including files in private channels). This is different than the current behavior in Slack, which only allows authenticated access to media posted in private channels. See MSC701 for details.
+
+Click on "Install App" and "Install App to Workspace". Note the access tokens shown. You will need the Bot User OAuth Access Token and if you want to bridge files, the OAuth Access Token whenever you link a room.
+
+### Create an administration control room on Matrix
+
+Create a new Matrix room to act as the administration control room.
+
+Note its internal room ID. This can be done in Element Web by sending a message, opening the options for that message and choosing "view source". The room ID will be displayed near the top.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
 matrix_appservice_slack_enabled: true
-matrix_appservice_slack_control_room_id: "Your matrix admin room id"
+matrix_appservice_slack_control_room_id: "Your Matrix admin room ID"
+
+# Uncomment to enable puppeting (optional, but recommended)
+# matrix_appservice_slack_puppeting_enabled: true
+# matrix_appservice_slack_puppeting_slackapp_client_id: "Your Classic Slack App Client ID"
+# matrix_appservice_slack_puppeting_slackapp_client_secret: "Your Classic Slack App Client Secret"
+
+# Uncomment to enable Team Sync (optional)
+# See https://matrix-appservice-slack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/team_sync/
+# matrix_appservice_slack_team_sync_enabled: true
 ```
 
-3. If you've already installed Matrix services using the playbook before, you'll need to re-run it (`--tags=setup-all,start`). If not, proceed with [configuring other playbook services](configuring-playbook.md) and then with [Installing](installing.md). Get back to this guide once ready.
+### Extending the configuration
-4. Invite the bridge bot user into the admin room:
 
-```
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
-    /invite @slackbot:MY.DOMAIN
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-appservice-slack/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-appservice-slack/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_appservice_slack_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
+
+For example, to change the bot's username from `slackbot`, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file. Replace `examplebot` with your own.
+
+```yaml
+matrix_appservice_slack_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  bot_username: "examplebot"
 ```
 
-Note that the bot's domain is your server's domain **without the `matrix.` prefix.**
+## Installing
 
-5. Create a Classic Slack App [here](https://api.slack.com/apps?new_classic_app=1).
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
 
-    Name the app "matrixbot" (or anything else you'll remember).
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
 
-    Select the team/workspace this app will belong to.
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
 
-    Click on bot users and add a new bot user. We will use this account to bridge the the rooms.
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
 
-6. Click on Event Subscriptions and enable them and use the request url `https://matrix.DOMAIN/appservice-slack`. Then add the following events and save:
+## Usage
 
-     Bot User Events:
+To use the bridge, you need to send `/invite @slackbot:example.com` to invite the bridge bot user into the admin room.
 
-    - team_domain_change
+If Team Sync is not enabled, for each channel you would like to bridge, perform the following steps:
-    - message.channels
-    - message.groups (if you want to bridge private channels)
-    - reaction_added
-    - reaction_removed
 
-7. Click on OAuth & Permissions and add the following scopes:
+- Create a Matrix room in the usual manner for your client. Take a note of its Matrix room ID — it will look something like `!qporfwt:example.com`.
-
+- Invite the bot user to both the Slack and Matrix channels you would like to bridge using `/invite @matrixbot` for Slack and `/invite @slackbot:example.com` for Matrix.
-    - chat:write:bot
+- Determine the "channel ID" that Slack uses to identify the channel. You can see it when you open a given Slack channel in a browser. The URL reads like this: `https://app.slack.com/client/XXX/<the channel ID>/details/`.
-    - users:read
+- Issue a link command in the administration control room with these collected values as arguments:
-    - reactions:write
-
-    If you want to bridge files, also add the following:
-
-    - files:write:user
-
-    Note: In order to make Slack files visible to matrix users, this bridge will make Slack files visible to anyone with the url (including files in private channels). This is different than the current behavior in Slack, which only allows authenticated access to media posted in private channels. See MSC701 for details.
-
-8. Click on Install App and Install App to Workspace. Note the access tokens shown. You will need the Bot User OAuth Access Token and if you want to bridge files, the OAuth Access Token whenever you link a room.
-
-9. For each channel you would like to bridge, perform the following steps:
-
-    * Create a Matrix room in the usual manner for your client. Take a note of its Matrix room ID - it will look something like !aBcDeF:example.com.
-
-    * Invite the bot user to both the Slack and Matrix channels you would like to bridge using `/invite @matrixbot` for slack and `/invite @slackbot:MY.DOMAIN` for matrix.
-
-    * Determine the "channel ID" that Slack uses to identify the channel. You can see it when you open a given Slack channel in a browser. The URL reads like this: `https://app.slack.com/client/XXX/<the channel id>/details/`.
-
-    * Issue a link command in the administration control room with these collected values as arguments:
 
     with file bridging:
+
     ```
-        link --channel_id CHANNELID --room !the-matrix:room.id --slack_bot_token xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --slack_user_token xoxp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
+    link --channel_id CHANNELID --room !qporfwt:example.com --slack_bot_token xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --slack_user_token xoxp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
     ```
+
     without file bridging:
+
     ```
-        link --channel_id CHANNELID --room !the-matrix:room.id --slack_bot_token xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+    link --channel_id CHANNELID --room !qporfwt:example.com --slack_bot_token xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
     ```
+
     These arguments can be shortened to single-letter forms:
+
     ```
-        link -I CHANNELID -R !the-matrix:room.id -t xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+    link -I CHANNELID -R !qporfwt:example.com -t xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
     ```
 
-Other configuration options are available via the `matrix_appservice_slack_configuration_extension_yaml` variable.
+### Unlinking
 
-10. Unlinking
+Channels can be unlinked again by sending this:
 
-    Channels can be unlinked again like this:
+```
-    ```
+unlink --room !qporfwt:example.com
-       unlink --room !the-matrix:room.id
+```
-    ```
 
-    Unlinking doesn't only disconnect the bridge, but also makes the slackbot leave the bridged matrix room. So in case you want to re-link later, don't forget to re-invite the slackbot into this room again.
+Unlinking doesn't only disconnect the bridge, but also makes the slackbot leave the bridged Matrix room. So in case you want to re-link later, don't forget to re-invite the slackbot into this room again.

-## Set up Double Puppeting
-
-If you'd like to use [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do), you have 2 ways of going about it.
-
-### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Shared Secret Auth
-
-The bridge will automatically perform Double Puppeting if you enable [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) for this playbook.
-
-This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.

Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
 
 ## Usage
 
-You then need to start a chat with `@linkedinbot:YOUR_DOMAIN` (where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@linkedinbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
-
-Send `login YOUR_LINKEDIN_EMAIL_ADDRESS` to the bridge bot to enable bridging for your LinkedIn account.
-
-If you run into trouble, check the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section below.
-
-After successfully enabling bridging, you may wish to [set up Double Puppeting](#set-up-double-puppeting), if you haven't already done so.
 
+You then need to send `login YOUR_LINKEDIN_EMAIL_ADDRESS` to the bridge bot to enable bridging for your LinkedIn account.
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-beeper-linkedin`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `WARNING`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_beeper_linkedin_logging_level: DEBUG
+```
+
 ### Bridge asking for 2FA even if you don't have 2FA enabled
 
 If you don't have 2FA enabled and are logging in from a strange IP for the first time, LinkedIn will send an email with a one-time code. You can use this code to authorize the bridge session. In my experience, once the IP is authorized, you will not be asked again.

+If you want to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) for this playbook.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-up-double-puppeting-optional) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about setting up Double Puppeting.
+
+**Note**: double puppeting with the Shared Secret Auth works at the time of writing, but is deprecated and will stop working in the future.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_go_skype_bridge_enabled: true
+```
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#extending-the-configuration) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about variables that you can customize and the bridge's default configuration, including [bridge permissions](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#configure-bridge-permissions-optional), [encryption support](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-encryption-optional), [relay mode](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-relay-mode-optional), [bot's username](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-the-bots-username-optional), etc.
+
+**Note**: when following the guide to configure the bridge, make sure to replace `_mautrix_SERVICENAME_` in the variable names with `_go_skype_bridge_`.
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@skypebridgebot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-go-skype-bridge`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `warn`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: fatal, error, warn, info, debug
+matrix_go_skype_bridge_log_level: 'info'
+```

-## Configuration
+## Adjusting DNS records (optional)
 
-Below are the common configuration options that you may want to set, exhaustive list is in [the bridge's defaults var file](../roles/matrix-bridge-heisenbridge/defaults/main.yml).
+By default, this playbook installs Heisenbridge on the `matrix.` subdomain, at the `/heisenbridge` path (https://matrix.example.com/heisenbridge). It would handle media requests there (see the [release notes for Heisenbridge v1.15.0](https://github.com/hifi/heisenbridge/releases/tag/v1.15.0)). This makes it easy to install it, because it **doesn't require additional DNS records to be set up**. If that's okay, you can skip this section.
 
-At a minimum, you only need to enable the bridge to get it up and running (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml`):
+If you wish to adjust it, see the section [below](#adjusting-the-heisenbridge-url-optional) for details about DNS configuration.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable Heisenbridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
 matrix_heisenbridge_enabled: true
 
-# set owner (optional)
+# Setting the owner is optional as the first local user to DM `@heisenbridge:example.com` will be made the owner.
-matrix_heisenbridge_owner: "@you:your-homeserver"
+# If you are not using a local user you must set it as otherwise you can't DM it at all.
+matrix_heisenbridge_owner: "@alice:{{ matrix_domain }}"
 
-# to enable identd on host port 113/TCP (optional)
+# Uncomment to enable identd on host port 113/TCP (optional)
-matrix_heisenbridge_identd_enabled: true
+# matrix_heisenbridge_identd_enabled: true
 ```
 
-That's it! A registration file is automatically generated during the setup phase.
+### Adjusting the Heisenbridge URL (optional)
 
-Setting the owner is optional as the first local user to DM `@heisenbridge:your-homeserver` will be made the owner.
+By tweaking the `matrix_heisenbridge_hostname` and `matrix_heisenbridge_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
-If you are not using a local user you must set it as otherwise you can't DM it at all.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Change the default hostname and path prefix
+matrix_heisenbridge_hostname: heisenbridge.example.com
+matrix_heisenbridge_path_prefix: /
+```
+
+If you've changed the default hostname, you may need to create a CNAME record for the Heisenbridge domain (`heisenbridge.example.com`), which targets `matrix.example.com`.
+
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-heisenbridge/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
 
 ## Usage
 
-After the bridge is successfully running just DM `@heisenbridge:your-homeserver` to start setting it up.
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@heisenbridge:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain). If the bridge ignores you and a DM is not accepted then the owner setting may be wrong.
+
 Help is available for all commands with the `-h` switch.
-If the bridge ignores you and a DM is not accepted then the owner setting may be wrong.

 If you encounter issues or feel lost you can join the project room at [#heisenbridge:vi.fi](https://matrix.to/#/#heisenbridge:vi.fi) for help.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-heisenbridge`.

 The playbook can install and configure [matrix-hookshot](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-hookshot) for you.
 
-Hookshot can bridge [Webhooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook) from software project management services such as GitHub, GitLab, JIRA, and Figma, as well as generic webhooks.

+See the project's [documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/latest/hookshot.html) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
 
-Note: the playbook also supports [matrix-appservice-webhooks](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-webhooks.md), which however is soon to be archived by its author and to be replaced by hookshot.
+**Note**: the playbook also supports [matrix-appservice-webhooks](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-webhooks.md), which however was deprecated by its author.
 
-## Setup Instructions
+## Prerequisites
 
-Refer to the [official instructions](https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/setup.html) to learn what the individual options do.
+### Download GitHub app private key (optional)
 
-1. For each of the services (GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Figma, generic webhooks) fill in the respective variables `matrix_hookshot_service_*` listed in [main.yml](/roles/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml) as required.
+If you're setting up the GitHub bridge, you need to create your GitHub app, and generate a private key file of it.
-2. Take special note of the `matrix_hookshot_*_enabled` variables. Services that need no further configuration are enabled by default (GitLab, Generic), while you must first add the required configuration and enable the others (GitHub, Jira, Figma).
-3. If you're setting up the GitHub bridge, you'll need to generate and download a private key file after you created your GitHub app. Copy the contents of that file to the variable `matrix_hookshot_github_private_key` so the playbook can install it for you, or use one of the [other methods](#manage-github-private-key-with-matrix-aux-role) explained below. 
-4. If you've already installed Matrix services using the playbook before, you'll need to re-run it (`--tags=setup-all,start`). If not, proceed with [configuring other playbook services](configuring-playbook.md) and then with [Installing](installing.md). Get back to this guide once ready. Hookshot can be set up individually using the tag `setup-hookshot`.
-5. Refer to [Hookshot's official instructions](https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/latest/usage.html) to start using the bridge. **Important:** Note that the different listeners are bound to certain paths which might differ from those assumed by the hookshot documentation, see [URLs for bridges setup](urls-for-bridges-setup) below.
 
-Other configuration options are available via the `matrix_hookshot_configuration_extension_yaml` and `matrix_hookshot_registration_extension_yaml` variables, see the comments in [main.yml](/roles/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml) for how to use them.
+You need to download the private key file, if you will install the file manually or with the `aux` role. For details, see [the section below](#manage-github-private-key-with-aux-role).
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE` with the one created [above](#download-github-app-private-key).
+
+```yaml
+matrix_hookshot_enabled: true
+
+# Uncomment to enable end-to-bridge encryption.
+# See: https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/latest/advanced/encryption.html
+# matrix_hookshot_experimental_encryption_enabled: true
+
+# Uncomment and paste the contents of GitHub app private key to enable GitHub bridge.
+# Alternatively, you can use one of the other methods explained below on the "Manage GitHub Private Key with aux role" section.
+# matrix_hookshot_github_private_key: "GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE"
+```
+
+For each of the services (GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Figma, and generic webhooks) fill in the respective variables `matrix_hookshot_service_*` listed in [main.yml](../roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml) as required.
+
+Take special note of the `matrix_hookshot_*_enabled` variables. Services that need no further configuration are enabled by default (GitLab and generic webhooks), while you must first add the required configuration and enable the others (GitHub, Jira, and Figma).
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_hookshot_configuration_extension_yaml` and `matrix_hookshot_registration_extension_yaml` variables
+
+Refer the [official instructions](https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/latest/setup.html) and the comments in [main.yml](../roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml) to learn what the individual options do.
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-service hookshot` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-service hookshot` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note `just setup-all` runs the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, you need to create a room and invite the Hookshot bot (`@hookshot:example.com`) to it.
+
+Make sure the bot is able to send state events (usually the Moderator power level in clients).
+
+Send `!hookshot help` to the bot to see the available commands.
+
+Refer to [Hookshot's documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/latest/usage.html) for more details about using the bridge's various features.
+
+💡 **Note**: the different listeners are bound to certain paths which might differ from those assumed by the hookshot documentation. See [URLs for bridges setup](#urls-for-bridges-setup) below.
+
+### Reset crypto store
+
+Should the crypto store be corrupted, you can reset it by executing this Ansible playbook with the tag `reset-hookshot-encryption` added:
+
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=reset-hookshot-encryption
+```
+

-### Manage GitHub Private Key with matrix-aux role
+### Manage GitHub Private Key with aux role
 
 The GitHub bridge requires you to install a private key file. This can be done in multiple ways:
-- copy the *contents* of the downloaded file and set the variable `matrix_hookshot_github_private_key` to the contents (see example in [main.yml](/roles/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml)).
-- somehow copy the file to the path `{{ matrix_hookshot_base_path }}/{{ matrix_hookshot_github_private_key_file }}` (default: `/matrix/hookshot/private-key.pem`) on the server manually.
-- use the `matrix-aux` role to copy the file from an arbitrary path on your ansible client to the correct path on the server.
 
-To use `matrix-aux`, make sure the `matrix_hookshot_github_private_key` variable is empty. Then add to `matrix-aux` configuration like this:
+- copy the *contents* of the downloaded file and set the variable `matrix_hookshot_github_private_key` to the contents (see example in [main.yml](../roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml)).
+- somehow copy the file to the path `{{ matrix_hookshot_base_path }}/{{ matrix_hookshot_github_private_key_file }}` (default: `/matrix/hookshot/private-key.pem`) on the server manually.
+- use the [`aux` role](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-aux) to copy the file from an arbitrary path on your ansible client to the correct path on the server.
+
+To use the `aux` role, make sure the `matrix_hookshot_github_private_key` variable is empty. Then add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
 ```yaml
-matrix_aux_file_definitions:
+aux_file_definitions:
   - dest: "{{ matrix_hookshot_base_path }}/{{ matrix_hookshot_github_private_key_file }}"
     content: "{{ lookup('file', '/path/to/your-github-private-key.pem') }}"
     mode: '0400'
-    owner: "{{ matrix_user_username }}"
+    owner: "{{ matrix_user_name }}"
-    group: "{{ matrix_user_groupname }}"
+    group: "{{ matrix_group_name }}"
 ```
-For more info see the documentation in the [matrix-aux base configuration file](/roles/matrix-aux/defaults/main.yml).
 
-### Provisioning API
+For more information, see the documentation in the [default configuration of the aux role](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-aux/blob/main/defaults/main.yml).
-
-The provisioning API will be enabled automatically if you set `matrix_dimension_enabled: true` and provided a `matrix_hookshot_provisioning_secret`, unless you override it either way. To use hookshot with dimension, you will need to enter as "Provisioning URL": `http://matrix-hookshot:9002`, which is made up of the variables `matrix_hookshot_container_url` and `matrix_hookshot_provisioning_port`.
-
-### Metrics
-
-If metrics are enabled, they will be automatically available in the builtin Prometheus and Grafana, but you need to set up your own Dashboard for now. If additionally metrics proxying for use with external Prometheus is enabled (`matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_synapse_metrics`), hookshot metrics will also be available (at `matrix_hookshot_metrics_endpoint`, default `/hookshot/metrics`, on the stats subdomain) and with the same password. See also [the Prometheus and Grafana docs](../configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md).
 
 ### Collision with matrix-appservice-webhooks
 
-If you are also running [matrix-appservice-webhooks](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-webhooks.md), it reserves its namespace by the default setting `matrix_appservice_webhooks_user_prefix: '_webhook_'`. You should take care if you modify its or hookshot's prefix that they do not collide with each other's namespace (default `matrix_hookshot_generic_user_id_prefix: '_webhooks_'`).
+If you are also running [matrix-appservice-webhooks](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-webhooks.md), it reserves its namespace by the default setting `matrix_appservice_webhooks_user_prefix: '_webhook_'`. You should take care if you modify its or hookshot's prefix that they do not collide with each other's namespace (default `matrix_hookshot_generic_userIdPrefix: '_webhooks_'`).
+
+### Enable metrics
+
+The playbook can enable and configure the metrics of the service for you.
+
+Metrics are **only enabled by default** if the builtin [Prometheus](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md) is enabled (by default, Prometheus isn't enabled). If so, metrics will automatically be collected by Prometheus and made available in Grafana. You will, however, need to set up your own Dashboard for displaying them.
+
+To enable the metrics, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Expose metrics (locally, on the container network).
+matrix_hookshot_metrics_enabled: true
+```
+
+**To collect metrics from an external Prometheus server**, besides enabling metrics as described above, you will also need to enable metrics exposure on `https://matrix.example.com/metrics/hookshot` by adding the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_hookshot_metrics_proxying_enabled: true
+```
+
+By default metrics are exposed publicly **without** password-protection. To password-protect the metrics with dedicated credentials, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_hookshot_container_labels_metrics_middleware_basic_auth_enabled: true
+matrix_hookshot_container_labels_metrics_middleware_basic_auth_users: ''
+```
+
+To `matrix_hookshot_container_labels_metrics_middleware_basic_auth_users`, set the Basic Authentication credentials (raw `htpasswd` file content) used to protect the endpoint. See https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/middlewares/http/basicauth/#users for details about it.
+
+**Note**: alternatively, you can use `matrix_metrics_exposure_enabled` to expose all services on this `/metrics/*` feature, and you can use `matrix_metrics_exposure_http_basic_auth_enabled` and `matrix_metrics_exposure_http_basic_auth_users` to password-protect the metrics of them. See [this section](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md#collecting-metrics-to-an-external-prometheus-server) for more information.
+
+#### Enable Grafana (optional)
+
+Probably you wish to enable Grafana along with Prometheus for generating graphs of the metrics.
+
+To enable Grafana, see [this section](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md#adjusting-the-playbook-configuration-grafana) for instructions.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-hookshot`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `warn`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: error, warn, info, debug
+matrix_hookshot_logging_level: debug
+```

+# Setting up Mautrix Bluesky bridging (optional)
+
+<sup>Refer the common guide for configuring mautrix bridges: [Setting up a Generic Mautrix Bridge](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md)</sup>
+
+The playbook can install and configure [mautrix-bluesky](https://github.com/mautrix/bluesky) for you, which provides a bridge to [Bluesky](https://bsky.social/about).
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/mautrix/bluesky/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+## Prerequisite (optional)
+
+### Enable Appservice Double Puppet
+
+If you want to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service for this playbook.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-up-double-puppeting-optional) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about setting up Double Puppeting.

+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh

+  `just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@blueskybot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+You can then follow instructions on the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/bluesky/authentication.html).
+
+After logging in, the bridge will create portal rooms for recent chats. Portal rooms for other chats will be created as you receive messages.

+
+# Setting up a Generic Mautrix Bridge (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure various [mautrix](https://github.com/mautrix) bridges (twitter, discord, signal, googlechat, etc.), as well as many other (non-mautrix) bridges. This is a common guide for configuring mautrix bridges.
+
+The author of the bridges maintains [the official docs](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/index.html), whose source code is available at [mautrix/docs](https://github.com/mautrix/docs) repository on GitHub. You may as well to refer it while configuring them.
+
+You can see each bridge's features on the `ROADMAP.md` file in its corresponding mautrix repository.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Replace SERVICENAME with one of: twitter, discord, signal, googlechat, etc.
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_enabled: true
+```
+
+**Note**: for bridging to Meta's Messenger or Instagram, you would need to add `meta` with an underscore symbol (`_`) or hyphen (`-`) based on the context as prefix to each `SERVICENAME`; add `_` to variables (as in `matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_configuration_extension_yaml` for example) and `-` to paths of the configuration files (as in `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-meta-messenger/templates/config.yaml.j2`), respectively. **`matrix_mautrix_facebook_*` and `matrix_mautrix_instagram_*` variables belong to the deprecated components and do not control the new bridge** ([mautrix-meta](https://github.com/mautrix/meta)), which can be [installed using this playbook](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-meta-messenger.md).
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge before you continue. Each bridge may have additional requirements besides `_enabled: true`. For example, the mautrix-telegram bridge (our documentation page about it is [here](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-telegram.md)) requires the `matrix_mautrix_telegram_api_id` and `matrix_mautrix_telegram_api_hash` variables to be defined. Refer to each bridge's individual documentation page for details about enabling bridges.
+
+### Configure bridge permissions (optional)
+
+By default any user on your homeserver will be able to use the mautrix bridges. To limit who can use them you would need to configure their permissions settings.
+
+Different levels of permission can be granted to users. For example, to **configure a user as an administrator for all bridges**, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_admin: "@alice:{{ matrix_domain }}"
+```
+
+If you don't define the `matrix_admin` in your configuration (e.g. `matrix_admin: @alice:example.com`), then there's no admin by default.
+
+**Alternatively** (more verbose, but allows multiple admins to be configured), you can do the same on a per-bridge basis with:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  bridge:
+    permissions:
+      '@alice:{{ matrix_domain }}': admin
+```
+
+This will add the admin permission to the specific user, while keeping the default permissions.
+
+You could also redefine the default permissions settings completely, rather than adding extra permissions. You may wish to look at `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-SERVICENAME/templates/config.yaml.j2` to find information on the permission settings and other options you would like to configure.
+
+### Enable encryption (optional)
+
+[Encryption (End-to-Bridge Encryption, E2BE) support](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/end-to-bridge-encryption.html) is off by default. If you would like to enable encryption, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+**for all bridges with encryption support**:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bridges_encryption_enabled: true
+matrix_bridges_encryption_default: true
+```
+
+**Alternatively**, for a specific bridge:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_bridge_encryption_enabled: true
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_bridge_encryption_default: true
+```
+
+### Enable relay mode (optional)
+
+[Relay mode](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/relay-mode.html) is off by default. Check [the table on the official documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/relay-mode.html#support-table) for bridges which support relay mode.
+
+If you would like to enable it, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+**for all bridges with relay mode support**:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bridges_relay_enabled: true
+```
+
+**Alternatively**, for a specific bridge:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  bridge:
+    relay:
+      enabled: true
+```
+
+You can only have one `matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml` definition in `vars.yml` per bridge, so if you need multiple pieces of configuration there, just merge them like this:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  bridge:
+    relay:
+      enabled: true
+    permissions:
+      '@alice:{{ matrix_domain }}': admin
+    encryption:
+      allow: true
+      default: true
+```
+
+If you want to activate the relaybot in a room, send `!prefix set-relay` in the rooms where you want to use the bot (replace `!prefix` with the appropriate command prefix for the bridge, like `!signal` or `!wa`). To deactivate, send `!prefix unset-relay`.
+
+Use `!prefix set-pl 100` to be able for the bot to modify room settings and invite others.
+
+#### Allow anyone on the homeserver to become a relay user (optional)
+
+By default, only admins are allowed to set themselves as relay users. To allow anyone on your homeserver to set themselves as relay users, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_bridge_relay_admin_only: false
+```
+
+### Set the bot's username (optional)
+
+To set the bot's username, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_appservice_bot_username: "BOTNAME"
+```
+
+### Configure the logging level (optional)
+
+To specify the logging level, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_logging_level: warn
+```
+
+Replace `warn` with one of the following to control the verbosity of the logs generated: `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error` or `fatal`.
+
+If you have issues with a service, and are requesting support, the higher levels of logging (those that appear earlier in the list, like `trace`) will generally be more helpful.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-SERVICENAME/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-SERVICENAME/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@SERVICENAMEbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+For details about the next steps, refer to each bridge's individual documentation page.
+
+Send `help` to the bot to see the available commands.
+
+If you run into trouble, check the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section below.
+
+### Set up Double Puppeting (optional)
+
+After successfully enabling bridging, you may wish to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do).
+
+To set it up, you have 2 ways of going about it.
+
+#### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Appservice Double Puppet (recommended)
+
+To set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html), you could enable the [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service for this playbook.
+
+Appservice Double Puppet is a homeserver appservice through which bridges (and potentially other services) can impersonate any user on the homeserver.
+
+To enable the Appservice Double Puppet service, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_appservice_double_puppet_enabled: true
+```
+
+When enabled, double puppeting will automatically be enabled for all bridges that support double puppeting via the appservice method.
+
+This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- Previously there were multiple different automatic double puppeting methods like one with the help of the [Shared Secret Auth password provider module](./configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md), but they have been superseded by this Appservice Double Puppet method. Double puppeting with the Shared Secret Auth works at the time of writing, but is deprecated and will stop working in the future as the older methods were completely removed in the megabridge rewrites on [the upstream project](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html#automatically).
+
+<!-- TODO: remove this note if the Shared Secret Auth service has stopped working or the bridges have been removed -->
+- Some bridges like [the deprecated Facebook mautrix bridge](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-facebook.md) and [matrix-appservice-kakaotalk](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-kakaotalk.md), which is partially based on the Facebook bridge, are compatible with the Shared Secret Auth service only. These bridges automatically perform Double Puppeting if [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) service is configured and enabled on the server for this playbook.
+
+#### Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token
+
+When using this method, **each user** that wishes to enable Double Puppeting needs to follow the following steps:
+
+- retrieve a Matrix access token for yourself. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain one](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
+
+- send the access token to the bot. Example: `login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`
+
+- make sure you don't log out the session for which you obtained an access token some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+For troubleshooting information with a specific bridge, please see the playbook documentation about it (some other document in in `docs/`) and the upstream ([mautrix](https://github.com/mautrix)) bridge documentation for that specific bridge.
+
+If the bridge's bot doesn't accept the invite to a chat, refer [the official troubleshooting page](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/troubleshooting.html) as well.
+
+If you found bugs in mautrix bridges, they should be reported to the upstream project, in the corresponding mautrix repository, not to us.

+# Setting up Mautrix Discord bridging (optional)
+
+<sup>Refer the common guide for configuring mautrix bridges: [Setting up a Generic Mautrix Bridge](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md)</sup>
+
+**Note**: bridging to [Discord](https://discordapp.com/) can also happen via the [mx-puppet-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-mx-puppet-discord.md) and [matrix-appservice-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-discord.md) bridges supported by the playbook.
+- For using as a Bot we recommend the [Appservice Discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-discord.md), because it supports plumbing.
+- For personal use with a discord account we recommend the `mautrix-discord` bridge (the one being discussed here), because it is the most fully-featured and stable of the 3 Discord bridges supported by the playbook.
+
+The playbook can install and configure [mautrix-discord](https://github.com/mautrix/discord) for you.
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/discord/index.html) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+There are 2 ways to login to discord using this bridge, either by [scanning a QR code](#method-1-login-using-qr-code-recommended) using the Discord mobile app **or** by using a [Discord token](#method-2-login-using-discord-token-not-recommended).
+
+If this is a dealbreaker for you, consider using one of the other Discord bridges supported by the playbook: [mx-puppet-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-mx-puppet-discord.md) or [matrix-appservice-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-discord.md). These come with their own complexity and limitations, however, so we recommend that you proceed with this one if possible.
+
+### Enable Appservice Double Puppet or Shared Secret Auth (optional)
+
+If you want to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) or [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) service for this playbook.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-up-double-puppeting-optional) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about setting up Double Puppeting.
+
+**Note**: double puppeting with the Shared Secret Auth works at the time of writing, but is deprecated and will stop working in the future.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_discord_enabled: true
+```
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+<!-- NOTE: common relay mode is not supported for this bridge -->
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#extending-the-configuration) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about variables that you can customize and the bridge's default configuration, including [bridge permissions](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#configure-bridge-permissions-optional), [encryption support](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-encryption-optional), [bot's username](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-the-bots-username-optional), etc.
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@discordbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+You can then follow instructions on the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/discord/authentication.html).
+
+After logging in, the bridge will create portal rooms for some recent direct messages.
+
+### Bridge guilds
+
+If you'd like to bridge guilds, send `guilds status` to see the list of guilds, then send `guilds bridge GUILD_ID_HERE` for each guild that you'd like bridged. Make sure to replace `GUILD_ID_HERE` with the guild's ID.
+
+After bridging, spaces will be created automatically, and rooms will be created if necessary when messages are received. You can also pass `--entire` to the bridge command to immediately create all rooms.
+
+If you want to manually bridge channels, invite the bot to the room you want to bridge, and run `!discord bridge CHANNEL_ID_HERE` to bridge the room. Make sure to replace `CHANNEL_ID_HERE` with the channel's ID.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-mautrix-discord`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `warn`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace
+matrix_mautrix_discord_logging_level: 'debug'
+```

+## Prerequisite (optional)
+
+### Enable Shared Secret Auth
+
+If you want to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) for this playbook.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-up-double-puppeting-optional) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about setting up Double Puppeting.
+
+**Note**: double puppeting with the Shared Secret Auth works at the time of writing, but is deprecated and will stop working in the future.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
 matrix_mautrix_facebook_enabled: true
 ```
 
-There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge before you continue.
+### Extending the configuration
 
-Encryption support is off by default. If you would like to enable encryption, add the following to your `vars.yml` file:

-## Set up Double Puppeting
-
-If you'd like to use [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do), you have 2 ways of going about it.
-
-### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Shared Secret Auth
-
-The bridge will automatically perform Double Puppeting if you enable [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) for this playbook.
-
-This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
-
-### Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token
-
-**Note**: This method for enabling Double Puppeting can be configured only after you've already set up bridging (see [Usage](#usage)).
-
-When using this method, **each user** that wishes to enable Double Puppeting needs to follow the following steps:
-
-- retrieve a Matrix access token for yourself. You can use the following command:
-
-```
-curl \
---data '{"identifier": {"type": "m.id.user", "user": "YOUR_MATRIX_USERNAME" }, "password": "YOUR_MATRIX_PASSWORD", "type": "m.login.password", "device_id": "Mautrix-Facebook", "initial_device_display_name": "Mautrix-Facebook"}' \
-https://matrix.DOMAIN/_matrix/client/r0/login
-```
-
-- send the access token to the bot. Example: `login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`
-
-- make sure you don't log out the `Mautrix-Facebook` device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
 
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
 
 ## Usage
 
-You then need to start a chat with `@facebookbot:YOUR_DOMAIN` (where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@facebookbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
 
-Send `login YOUR_FACEBOOK_EMAIL_ADDRESS` to the bridge bot to enable bridging for your Facebook Messenger account. You can learn more here about authentication from the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/python/facebook/authentication.html).
+You then need to send `login YOUR_FACEBOOK_EMAIL_ADDRESS` to the bridge bot to enable bridging for your Facebook Messenger account.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-mautrix-facebook`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `WARNING`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+

+```

 ### Facebook rejecting login attempts and forcing you to change password

+# Setting up Instagram bridging via Mautrix Meta (optional)
+
+<sup>Refer the common guide for configuring mautrix bridges: [Setting up a Generic Mautrix Bridge](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md)</sup>
+
+The playbook can install and configure the [mautrix-meta](https://github.com/mautrix/meta) Messenger/Instagram bridge for you.
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/meta/index.html) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+Since this bridge component can bridge to both [Messenger](https://messenger.com/) and [Instagram](https://instagram.com/) and you may wish to do both at the same time, the playbook makes it available via 2 different Ansible roles (`matrix-bridge-mautrix-meta-messenger` and `matrix-bridge-mautrix-meta-instagram`). The latter is a reconfigured copy of the first one (created by `just rebuild-mautrix-meta-instagram` and `bin/rebuild-mautrix-meta-instagram.sh`).
+
+This documentation page only deals with the bridge's ability to bridge to Instagram. For bridging to Facebook/Messenger, see [Setting up Messenger bridging via Mautrix Meta](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-meta-messenger.md).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Migrating from the old mautrix-instagram bridge
+
+If you've been using the [mautrix-instagram](./configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-instagram.md) bridge, **you'd better get rid of it first** or the 2 bridges will be in conflict:
+
+- both trying to use `@instagrambot:example.com` as their username. This conflict may be resolved by adjusting `matrix_mautrix_instagram_appservice_bot_username` or `matrix_mautrix_meta_instagram_appservice_username`
+- both trying to bridge the same DMs
+
+To do so, send a `clean-rooms` command to the management room with the old bridge bot (`@instagrambot:example.com`). It gives you a list of portals and groups of portals you may purge. Proceed with sending commands like `clean recommended`, etc.
+
+Then, consider disabling the old bridge in your configuration, so it won't recreate the portals when you receive new messages.
+
+### Enable Appservice Double Puppet (optional)
+
+If you want to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service for this playbook.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-up-double-puppeting-optional) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about setting up Double Puppeting.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_meta_instagram_enabled: true
+```
+
+Before proceeding to [re-running the playbook](./installing.md), you may wish to adjust the configuration further. See below.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#extending-the-configuration) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about variables that you can customize and the bridge's default configuration, including [bridge permissions](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#configure-bridge-permissions-optional), [encryption support](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-encryption-optional), [relay mode](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-relay-mode-optional), [bot's username](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-the-bots-username-optional), etc.
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged.

+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@instagrambot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+You can then follow instructions on the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/meta/authentication.html).

+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `warn`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:

+
+This documentation page only deals with the bridge's ability to bridge to Facebook Messenger. For bridging to Instagram, see [Setting up Instagram bridging via Mautrix Meta](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-meta-instagram.md).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Migrating from the old mautrix-facebook bridge
+
+If you've been using the [mautrix-facebook](./configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-facebook.md) bridge, it's possible to migrate the database using [instructions from the bridge documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/meta/facebook-migration.html) (advanced).
+
+Then you may wish to get rid of the Facebook bridge. To do so, send a `clean-rooms` command to the management room with the old bridge bot (`@facebookbot:example.com`). It gives you a list of portals and groups of portals you may purge. Proceed with sending commands like `clean recommended`, etc.
+
+Then, consider disabling the old bridge in your configuration, so it won't recreate the portals when you receive new messages.
+
+**Note**: the user ID of the new bridge bot is `@messengerbot:example.com`, not `@facebookbot:example.com`. After disabling the old bridge, its bot user will stop responding to a command.
+
+### Enable Appservice Double Puppet (optional)
+
+If you want to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service for this playbook.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-up-double-puppeting-optional) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about setting up Double Puppeting.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_enabled: true
+```
+
+Before proceeding to [re-running the playbook](./installing.md), you may wish to adjust the configuration further. See below.
+
+### Bridge mode
+
+As mentioned above, the [mautrix-meta](https://github.com/mautrix/meta) bridge supports multiple modes of operation.
+
+The bridge can pull your Messenger messages via 3 different methods:
+
+- (`facebook`) Facebook via `facebook.com`
+- (`facebook-tor`) Facebook via `facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion` ([Tor](https://www.torproject.org/)) — does not currently proxy media downloads
+- (default) (`messenger`) Messenger via `messenger.com` — usable even without a Facebook account
+
+You may switch the mode via the `matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_meta_mode` variable. The playbook defaults to the `messenger` mode, because it's most universal (every Facebook user has a Messenger account, but the opposite is not true).
+
+Note that switching the mode (especially between `facebook*` and `messenger`) will intentionally make the bridge use another database (`matrix_mautrix_meta_facebook` or `matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger`) to isolate the 2 instances. Switching between Tor and non-Tor may be possible without dataloss, but your mileage may vary. Before switching to a new mode, you may wish to de-configure the old one (send `help` to the bridge bot and unbridge your portals, etc.).
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#extending-the-configuration) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about variables that you can customize and the bridge's default configuration, including [bridge permissions](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#configure-bridge-permissions-optional), [encryption support](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-encryption-optional), [relay mode](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-relay-mode-optional), [bot's username](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-the-bots-username-optional), etc.
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@messengerbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain). Note that the user ID of the bridge's bot is not `@facebookbot:example.com`.
+
+You can then follow instructions on the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/meta/authentication.html).
+
+After logging in, the bridge will sync recent chats.
+
+**Note**: given that the bot is configured in `messenger` [bridge mode](#bridge-mode) by default, you will need to log in to [messenger.com](https://messenger.com/) (not `facebook.com`!) and obtain the cookies from there.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-mautrix-meta-messenger`.

+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
 matrix_mautrix_signal_enabled: true

-* admin - Use and administer the bridge.
 
-The permissions are following the sequence: nothing < relay < user < admin.
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:

-## Set up Double Puppeting
-
-If you'd like to use [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do), you have 2 ways of going about it.
-
-### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Shared Secret Auth
-
-The bridge will automatically perform Double Puppeting if you enable [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) for this playbook.
-
-This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
-
-### Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token
-
-**Note**: This method for enabling Double Puppeting can be configured only after you've already set up bridging (see [Usage](#usage)).
-
-When using this method, **each user** that wishes to enable Double Puppeting needs to follow the following steps:
-
-- retrieve a Matrix access token for yourself. You can use the following command:
-
-```
-curl \
---data '{"identifier": {"type": "m.id.user", "user": "YOUR_MATRIX_USERNAME" }, "password": "YOUR_MATRIX_PASSWORD", "type": "m.login.password", "device_id": "Mautrix-Signal", "initial_device_display_name": "Mautrix-Signal"}' \
-https://matrix.DOMAIN/_matrix/client/r0/login
-```
-
-- send the access token to the bot. Example: `login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`
-
-- make sure you don't log out the `Mautrix-Signal` device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
 
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
 
 ## Usage
 
-You then need to start a chat with `@signalbot:YOUR_DOMAIN` (where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@signalbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).

+# Setting up Mautrix Slack bridging (optional)
+
+<sup>Refer the common guide for configuring mautrix bridges: [Setting up a Generic Mautrix Bridge](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md)</sup>
+
+**Note**: bridging to [Slack](https://slack.com/) can also happen via the [mx-puppet-slack](configuring-playbook-bridge-mx-puppet-slack.md) and [matrix-appservice-slack](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-slack.md) bridges supported by the playbook.
+- For using as a Bot we recommend the [Appservice Slack](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-slack.md), because it supports plumbing. Note that it is not available for new installation unless you have already created a classic Slack application, because the creation of classic Slack applications, which this bridge makes use of, has been discontinued.
+- For personal use with a slack account we recommend the `mautrix-slack` bridge (the one being discussed here), because it is the most fully-featured and stable of the 3 Slack bridges supported by the playbook.
+
+The playbook can install and configure [mautrix-slack](https://github.com/mautrix/slack) for you.
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/slack/index.html) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+See the [features and roadmap](https://github.com/mautrix/slack/blob/main/ROADMAP.md) for more information.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+For using this bridge, you would need to authenticate by **providing your username and password** (legacy) or by using a **token login**. See more information in the [docs](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/slack/authentication.html).
+
+Note that neither of these methods are officially supported by Slack. [matrix-appservice-slack](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-slack.md) uses a Slack bot account which is the only officially supported method for bridging a Slack channel.

+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-up-double-puppeting-optional) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about setting up Double Puppeting.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_slack_enabled: true
+```
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+<!-- NOTE: relay mode is not supported for this bridge -->
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#extending-the-configuration) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about variables that you can customize and the bridge's default configuration, including [bridge permissions](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#configure-bridge-permissions-optional), [encryption support](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-encryption-optional), [bot's username](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-the-bots-username-optional), etc.
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@slackbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+You can then follow instructions on the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/slack/authentication.html).
+
+If you authenticated using a token, the recent chats will be bridged automatically (depending on the `conversation_count` setting). Otherwise (i.e. logging with the Discord application), the chats the bot is in will be bridged automatically.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-mautrix-slack`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `warn`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace
+matrix_mautrix_slack_logging_level: 'debug'
+```

+By default, this playbook installs wsproxy on the `wsproxy.` subdomain (`wsproxy.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `wsproxy`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
+
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_enabled: true
+
+matrix_mautrix_androidsms_appservice_token: 'secret token from bridge'
+matrix_mautrix_androidsms_homeserver_token: 'secret token from bridge'
+matrix_mautrix_imessage_appservice_token: 'secret token from bridge'
+matrix_mautrix_imessage_homeserver_token: 'secret token from bridge'
+matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_syncproxy_shared_secret: 'secret token from bridge'
+```
+
+Note that the tokens must match what is compiled into the [mautrix-imessage](https://github.com/mautrix/imessage) bridge running on your Mac or Android device.
+
+### Adjusting the wsproxy URL (optional)
+
+By tweaking the `matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_hostname` variable, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Change the default hostname
+matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_hostname: ws.example.com
+```
+
+After changing the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the wsproxy domain to the Matrix server.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#extending-the-configuration) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about variables that you can customize and the bridge's default configuration, including [bridge permissions](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#configure-bridge-permissions-optional), [encryption support](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-encryption-optional), [relay mode](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-relay-mode-optional), [bot's username](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-the-bots-username-optional), etc.
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Usage
+
+Follow the [mautrix-imessage documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/imessage/index.html) for running `android-sms` and/or `matrix-imessage` on your device(s).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-mautrix-wsproxy`.

+
+# Setting up Postmoogle email bridging (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure [Postmoogle](https://github.com/etkecc/postmoogle) for you.
+
+Postmoogle is a bridge you can use to have its bot user forward emails to Matrix rooms. It runs an SMTP email server and allows you to assign mailbox addresses to the rooms.
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/etkecc/postmoogle/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Open the following ports on your server to be able to receive incoming emails:
+
+  - `25/tcp`: SMTP
+  - `587/tcp`: Submission (TLS-encrypted SMTP)
+
+If you don't open these ports, you will still be able to send emails, but not receive any.
+
+These port numbers are configurable via the `matrix_postmoogle_smtp_host_bind_port` and `matrix_postmoogle_submission_host_bind_port` variables, but other email servers will try to deliver on these default (standard) ports, so changing them is of little use.
+
+## Adjusting DNS records
+
+To make Postmoogle enable its email sending features, you need to configure MX and TXT (SPF, DMARC, and DKIM) records. See the table below for values which need to be specified.
+
+| Type | Host                           | Priority | Weight | Port | Target                             |
+|------|--------------------------------|----------|--------|------|------------------------------------|
+| MX   | `matrix`                       | 10       | 0      | -    | `matrix.example.com`               |
+| TXT  | `matrix`                       | -        | -      | -    | `v=spf1 ip4:matrix-server-IP -all` |
+| TXT  | `_dmarc.matrix`                | -        | -      | -    | `v=DMARC1; p=quarantine;`          |
+| TXT  | `postmoogle._domainkey.matrix` | -        | -      | -    | get it from `!pm dkim`             |
+
+**Note**: the DKIM record can be retrieved after configuring and installing the bridge's bot.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_postmoogle_enabled: true
+
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
+# matrix_postmoogle_login: postmoogle
+
+# Generate a strong password for the bot. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
+matrix_postmoogle_password: PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT
+
+# Uncomment to add one or more admins to this bridge:
+#
+# matrix_postmoogle_admins:
+#  - '@yourAdminAccount:{{ matrix_domain }}'
+#
+# … unless you've made yourself an admin of all bots/bridges like this:
+#
+# matrix_admin: '@yourAdminAccount:{{ matrix_domain }}'
+```
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-postmoogle/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create a user account of the bridge's bot.
+
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+  `just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
+
+- If you change the bridge's bot password (`matrix_postmoogle_password` in your `vars.yml` file) subsequently, the bot user's credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically. If you'd like to change the bot user's password, use a tool like [synapse-admin](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) to change it, and then update `matrix_postmoogle_password` to let the bot know its new password.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, invite the `@postmoogle:example.com` bot user into a room you want to use as a mailbox.
+
+Then send `!pm mailbox NAME` to expose this Matrix room as an inbox with the email address `NAME@matrix.example.com`. Emails sent to that email address will be forwarded to the room.
+
+Send `!pm help` to the bot in the room to see the available commands.
+
+You can also refer to the upstream [documentation](https://github.com/etkecc/postmoogle).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-postmoogle`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `INFO`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_postmoogle_loglevel: 'DEBUG'
+```

+
+# Setting up Cactus Comments (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure the [Cactus Comments](https://cactus.chat) system for you.
+
+Cactus Comments is a **federated comment system** built on Matrix. It respects your privacy, and puts you in control.
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://cactus.chat/docs/getting-started/introduction/) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+The playbook contains 2 roles for configuring different pieces of the Cactus Comments system:
+
+- `matrix-cactus-comments` — the backend appservice integrating with the Matrix homeserver
+
+- `matrix-cactus-comments-client` — a static website server serving the [cactus-client](https://cactus.chat/docs/client/introduction/) static assets (`cactus.js` and `styles.css`)
+
+You can enable whichever component you need (typically both).
+
+## Adjusting DNS records (optional)
+
+By default, this playbook installs Cactus Comments' client on the `matrix.` subdomain, at the `/cactus-comments` path (https://matrix.example.com/cactus-comments). This makes it easy to install it, because it **doesn't require additional DNS records to be set up**. If that's okay, you can skip this section.
+
+If you wish to adjust it, see the section [below](#adjusting-the-cactus-comments-client-url-optional) for details about DNS configuration.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable Cactus Comments, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# This enables the backend (appservice)
+matrix_cactus_comments_enabled: true
+
+# This enables client assets static files serving on `https://matrix.example.com/cactus-comments`.
+# When the backend (appservice) is enabled, this is also enabled automatically, but we explicitly enable it here.
+matrix_cactus_comments_client_enabled: true
+
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
+# matrix_cactus_comments_user_id: "bot.cactusbot"
+
+# To allow guest comments without users needing to log in, you need to have guest registration enabled.
+# To do this you need to uncomment one of the following lines (depending if you are using Synapse or Dendrite as a homeserver)
+# If you don't know which one you use: The default is Synapse ;)
+# matrix_synapse_allow_guest_access: true
+# matrix_dendrite_allow_guest_access: true
+```
+
+### Adjusting the Cactus Comments' client URL (optional)
+
+By tweaking the `matrix_cactus_comments_client_hostname` and `matrix_cactus_comments_client_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Change the default hostname and path prefix to host the client assets at a different location
+# These variables are used only if (`matrix_cactus_comments_client_enabled: true`)
+matrix_cactus_comments_client_hostname: cactus.example.com
+matrix_cactus_comments_client_path_prefix: /
+```
+
+If you've changed the default hostname, you may need to create a CNAME record for the Cactus Comments' client domain (`cactus.example.com`), which targets `matrix.example.com`.
+
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the components.
+
+For `matrix-cactus-comments`, take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-cactus-comments/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+
+For `matrix-cactus-comments-client`, take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-cactus-comments-client/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the component, you need to start a chat with `@bot.cactusbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+Then, register a site by sending `register YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE` (where `YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE` is a unique identifier you choose. It does not have to match your domain). You will then be invited into a moderation room.
+
+Now you are good to go and can embed the comment section on your website!
+
+## Embed Cactus Comments
+
+The official [documentation](https://cactus.chat/docs/getting-started/quick-start/) provides a useful guide to embed Cactus Comments on your website.
+
+After including the JavaScript and CSS asset files, insert a `<div>` where you'd like to display the comment section:
+
+````html
+<div id="comment-section"></div>
+````
+
+Then, you need to initialize the comment section. Make sure to replace `example.com` with your base domain and `YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE` with the one that has been registered above:
+
+```html
+<script>
+initComments({
+  node: document.getElementById("comment-section"),
+  defaultHomeserverUrl: "https://matrix.example.com:8448",
+  serverName: "example.com",
+  siteName: "YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE",
+  commentSectionId: "1"
+})
+</script>
+```
+
+### Adjust the domain name for self-hosting
+
+To have the assets served from your homeserver (not from `cactus.chat`), you need to adjust the domain name on the official documentation.
+
+Make sure to replace `example.com` with your base domain before you include the following lines, instead of the one provided by the official documentation:
+
+```html
+<script type="text/javascript" src="https://matrix.example.com/cactus-comments/cactus.js"></script>
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://matrix.example.com/cactus-comments/style.css" type="text/css">
+```
+
+**Note**: if the `matrix_cactus_comments_client_hostname` and `matrix_cactus_comments_client_path_prefix` variables are tweaked, you would need to adjust the URLs of the assets accordingly.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-cactus-comments` for the backend appservice or `journalctl -fu matrix-cactus-comments-client` for the server serving the client assets, respectively.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+It is possible to increase logging verbosity for `matrix-cactus-comments-client`. The default logging level for this component is `error`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Controls the SERVER_LOG_LEVEL environment variable.
+# See: https://static-web-server.net/configuration/environment-variables/
+# Valid values: error, warn, info, debug, trace
+matrix_cactus_comments_client_environment_variable_server_log_level: debug

+The playbook can install and configure the [Cinny](https://github.com/ajbura/cinny) Matrix web client for you.
+
+Cinny is a web client focusing primarily on simple, elegant and secure interface. It can be installed alongside or instead of [Element Web](./configuring-playbook-client-element-web.md).
+
+💡 **Note**: the latest version of Cinny is also available on the web, hosted by 3rd parties. If you trust giving your credentials to the following 3rd party Single Page Applications, you can consider using it from there and avoiding the (small) overhead of self-hosting:
+
+- [app.cinny.in](https://app.cinny.in), hosted by the [Cinny](https://cinny.in/) developers
+
+## Adjusting DNS records
+
+By default, this playbook installs Cinny on the `cinny.` subdomain (`cinny.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `cinny`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
+
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable Cinny, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
 matrix_client_cinny_enabled: true
 ```
 
-You will also need to add a DNS record so that cinny can be accessed.
+### Adjusting the Cinny URL (optional)
-By default cinny will use https://cinny.DOMAIN so you will need to create an CNAME record
-for `cinny`. See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md).
 
-If you would like to use a different domain, add the following to your configuration file (changing it to use your preferred domain):
+By tweaking the `matrix_client_cinny_hostname` variable, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
- matrix_server_fqn_cinny: "app.{{ matrix_domain }}"
+# Switch to a different domain (`app.example.com`) than the default one (`cinny.example.com`)
+matrix_client_cinny_hostname: "app.{{ matrix_domain }}"
+
+# Expose under the /cinny subpath
+# matrix_client_cinny_path_prefix: /cinny
 ```
+
+After changing the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Cinny domain to the Matrix server.
+
+**Note**: while there is a `matrix_client_cinny_path_prefix` variable for changing the path where Cinny is served, overriding it is [not possible](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/3701), because Cinny requires an application rebuild (with a tweaked build config) to be functional under a custom path. You'd need to serve Cinny at a dedicated subdomain.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the component.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-client-cinny/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-client-cinny/templates/config.json.j2` for the component's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_client_cinny_configuration_extension_json` variable
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook and [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:

+To pull the themes and use them for your Element Web instance, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_client_element_themes_enabled: true
+```
+
+If the variable is set to `true`, all themes found in the repository specified with `matrix_client_element_themes_repository_url` will be installed and enabled automatically.
+
+Note that for a custom theme to work well, all Element Web instances that you use must have the same theme installed.
+
+#### Define themes manually
+
+You can also define your own themes manually by adding and adjusting the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Controls the `setting_defaults.custom_themes` setting of the Element Web configuration.
+matrix_client_element_setting_defaults_custom_themes: []
+```
+
+If you define your own themes with it and set `matrix_client_element_themes_enabled` to `true` for the themes by `element-themes`, your themes will be preserved as well.
+
+If you make your own theme, we encourage you to submit it to the **aaronraimist/element-themes** project, so that the whole community could easily enjoy it.
+
+### Adjusting the Element Web URL (optional)
+
+By tweaking the `matrix_client_element_hostname` and `matrix_client_element_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Switch to the domain used for Matrix services (`matrix.example.com`),
+# so we won't need to add additional DNS records for Element Web.
+matrix_client_element_hostname: "{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}"
+
+# Expose under the /element subpath
+matrix_client_element_path_prefix: /element
+```
+
+After changing the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Element domain to the Matrix server.
+
+If you've decided to reuse the `matrix.` domain, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the component.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-client-element/templates/config.json.j2` for the component's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_client_element_configuration_extension_json` variable
+
+For example, to override some Element Web settings, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+ # Your custom JSON configuration for Element Web should go to `matrix_client_element_configuration_extension_json`.
+ # This configuration extends the default starting configuration (`matrix_client_element_configuration_default`).
+ #
+ # You can override individual variables from the default configuration, or introduce new ones.
+ #
+ # If you need something more special, you can take full control by
+ # completely redefining `matrix_client_element_configuration_default`.
+ #
+matrix_client_element_configuration_extension_json: |
+ {
+ "disable_3pid_login": true,
+ "disable_login_language_selector": true
+ }
+```
+
+## Disabling Element Web
+
+If you'd like for the playbook to not install Element Web (or to uninstall it if it was previously installed), add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_client_element_enabled: false
+```
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
+```
+
+The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-client-element`.

-# Configuring Element (optional)
-
-By default, this playbook installs the [Element](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web) Matrix client web application.
-If that's okay, you can skip this document.
-
-
-## Disabling Element
-
-If you'd like for the playbook to not install Element (or to uninstall it if it was previously installed), you can disable it in your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
-
-```yaml
-matrix_client_element_enabled: false
-```
-
-
-## Configuring Element settings
-
-The playbook provides some customization variables you could use to change Element's settings.
-
-Their defaults are defined in [`roles/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml`](../roles/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml) and they ultimately end up in the generated `/matrix/element/config.json` file (on the server). This file is generated from the [`roles/matrix-client-element/templates/config.json.j2`](../roles/matrix-client-element/templates/config.json.j2) template.
-
-**If there's an existing variable** which controls a setting you wish to change, you can simply define that variable in your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`) and [re-run the playbook](installing.md) to apply the changes.
-
-Alternatively, **if there is no pre-defined variable** for an Element setting you wish to change:
-
-- you can either **request a variable to be created** (or you can submit such a contribution yourself). Keep in mind that it's **probably not a good idea** to create variables for each one of Element's various settings that rarely get used.
-
-- or, you can **extend and override the default configuration** ([`config.json.j2`](../roles/matrix-client-element/templates/config.json.j2)) by making use of the `matrix_client_element_configuration_extension_json_` variable. You can find information about this in [`roles/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml`](../roles/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml).
-
-- or, if extending the configuration is still not powerful enough for your needs, you can **override the configuration completely** using `matrix_client_element_configuration_default` (or `matrix_client_element_configuration`). You can find information about this in [`roles/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml`](../roles/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml).
-
-
-## Themes
-
-To change the look of Element, you can define your own themes manually by using the `matrix_client_element__settingDefaults_custom_themes` setting.
-
-Or better yet, you can automatically pull it all themes provided by the [aaronraimist/element-themes](https://github.com/aaronraimist/element-themes) project by simply flipping a flag (`matrix_client_element_themes_enabled: true`).
-
-If you make your own theme, we encourage you to submit it to the **aaronraimist/element-themes** project, so that the whole community could easily enjoy it.
-
-Note that for a custom theme to work well, all Element instances that you use must have the same theme installed.

+# Setting up FluffyChat Web (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure the [FluffyChat Web](https://github.com/krille-chan/fluffychat) Matrix client for you.
+
+FluffyChat Web is a cute cross-platform (web, iOS, Android) messenger for Matrix written in [Flutter](https://flutter.dev/).
+
+💡 **Note**: the latest version of FluffyChat Web is also available on the web, hosted by 3rd parties. If you trust giving your credentials to the following 3rd party Single Page Application, you can consider using it from there:
+
+- [fluffychat.im](https://fluffychat.im/web), hosted by the [FluffyChat](https://fluffychat.im/) developers
+
+## Adjusting DNS records
+
+By default, this playbook installs FluffyChat Web on the `fluffychat.` subdomain (`fluffychat.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `fluffychat`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
+
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable FluffyChat Web, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_client_fluffychat_enabled: true
+```
+
+### Adjusting the FluffyChat Web URL (optional)
+
+By tweaking the `matrix_client_fluffychat_hostname` and `matrix_client_fluffychat_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:

+# so we won't need to add additional DNS records for FluffyChat Web.
+matrix_client_fluffychat_hostname: "{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}"
+
+# Expose under the /fluffychat subpath
+matrix_client_fluffychat_path_prefix: /fluffychat
+```
+
+After changing the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the FluffyChat Web domain to the Matrix server.
