# Configuring the Ansible playbook
|
|
|
|
Once you have your server and you have [configured your DNS records](configuring-dns.md#configuring-dns), you can proceed with configuring this playbook, so that it knows what to install and where.
|
|
|
|
You can follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
- create a directory to hold your configuration (`mkdir inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>`)
|
|
|
|
- copy the sample configuration file (`cp examples/host-vars.yml inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`)
|
|
|
|
- edit the configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`) to your liking. You may also take a look at `roles/matrix-server/defaults.main.yml` and see if there's something you'd like to copy over and override in your `vars.yml` configuration file.
|
|
|
|
- copy the sample inventory hosts file (`cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts`)
|
|
|
|
- edit the inventory hosts file (`inventory/hosts`) to your liking
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a basic Matrix installation, that's all you need.
|
|
For a more custom setup, see the [Other configuration options](#other-configuration-options) below.
|
|
|
|
When you're done with all the configuration you'd like to do, continue with [Installing](installing.md).
