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 the Cactus Comments' client URL
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.
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 `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/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: /

## Adjusting DNS records
If you've changed the default hostname, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Cactus Comments' client domain to the Matrix server.
See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md) for details about DNS changes.
If you've decided to use the default hostname, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.

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 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
Upon starting Cactus Comments, a `bot.cactusbot` user account is created automatically.
To get started, send a `help` message to the `@bot.cactusbot:example.com` bot to confirm it's working.
Then, register a site by sending `register <YourSiteName>` (where `<YourSiteName>` 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!

### 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.
