# Configuring Riot-web (optional)
2023-12-15 12:18:18 +02:00
By default, this playbook **used to install** the [Riot-web ](https://github.com/element-hq/riot-web ) Matrix client web application.
2019-08-25 09:37:05 +02:00
2020-07-17 10:31:20 +02:00
Riot has since been [renamed to Element ](https://element.io/blog/welcome-to-element/ ).
2019-08-25 09:37:05 +02:00
Add "Web" to Element and SchildiChat web application (#3755)
* Replace "Element" with "Element Web"
- If Element indicates the web application, then it is changed to Element Web.
- If it indicates clients branded with Element such as Element desktop, web, mobile clients, then it is changed to Element clients.

with other some changes, including:

## Migrating to Element Web
2019-08-25 09:37:05 +02:00
2020-07-17 10:31:20 +02:00
### Migrating your custom settings
2019-08-25 09:37:05 +02:00
2024-10-17 15:17:56 +02:00
If you have custom `matrix_riot_web_` variables in your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file, you'll need to rename them (`matrix_riot_web_` -> `matrix_client_element_` ).
2019-08-25 09:37:05 +02:00
2020-07-17 17:56:40 +02:00
Some other playbook variables (but not all) with `riot` in their name are also renamed. The playbook checks and warns if you are using the old name for some commonly used ones.

We used to set up Riot at the `riot.example.com` domain. The playbook now sets up Element Web at `element.example.com` by default.
2019-08-25 09:37:05 +02:00
2020-07-17 10:31:20 +02:00
There are a few options for handling this:

- (**avoiding changes** - using the old `riot.example.com` domain and avoiding DNS changes) -- to keep using `riot.example.com` instead of `element.example.com` , override the domain at which the playbook serves Element Web: `matrix_server_fqn_element: "riot.{{ matrix_domain }}"`

2024-10-17 15:17:56 +02:00
- (**embracing changes** - using only `element.example.com` ) - set up the `element.example.com` DNS record (see [Configuring DNS ](configuring-dns.md )). You can drop the `riot.example.com` in this case.

### Re-running the playbook

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
```
Edit installing instructions (#3844)
* Replace "just run-tags install-all/setup-all,start" with "just install-all/setup-all"
Thanks to the tip by Slavi that the overhead of ensure-matrix-users-created is negligible.

* Edit installing instructions
- Move the anchor links to docs/just.md
- Add note about running "ensure-matrix-users-created" tags, if ansible-playbook's tags not "setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start", ie. either "setup-all,start", "setup-email2matrix,start", "setup-aux-files,setup-corporal,start", or "setup-matrix-user-verification-service,start"

* Update descriptions about installation
- Introduce the most conservative and stable raw ansible-playbook command.
- Introduce the just commands on installing.md and maintenance-upgrading-services.md, not on quick-start.md, since it is too early for quick start guide readers who are just starting to climb learning curve to use the shortcuts.

The shortcut commands with the [`just` program ](just.md ) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
2024-12-01 09:42:30 +02:00
2024-12-02 07:29:44 +02:00
`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.
