# Configuring AWX System (optional)
|
|
|
|
An AWX setup for managing multiple Matrix servers.
|
|
|
|
This section is used in an AWX system that can create and manage multiple [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) servers. You can issue members an AWX login to their own 'organisation', which they can use to manage/configure 1 to N servers.
|
|
|
|
Members can be assigned a server from Digitalocean, or they can connect their own on-premises server. This script is free to use in a commercial context with the 'MemberPress Plus' and 'WP Oauth Sever' addons. It can also be run in a non-commercial context.
|
|
|
|
The AWX system is arranged into 'members' each with their own 'subscriptions'. After creating a subscription the user enters the 'provision stage' where they defined the URLs they will use, the servers location and whether or not there's already a website at the base domain. They then proceed onto the 'deploy stage' where they can configure their Matrix server.
|
|
|
|
This system can manage the updates, configuration, import and export, backups and monitoring on its own. It is an extension of the popular deploy script [spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Other Required Playbooks

## Does I need an AWX setup to use this? How do I configure it?
|
|
|
|
Yes, you'll need to configure an AWX instance, the [Create AWX System](https://gitlab.com/GoMatrixHosting/create-awx-system) repository makes it easy to do. Just follow the steps listed in ['/docs/Installation.md' of that repository](https://gitlab.com/GoMatrixHosting/create-awx-system/-/blob/master/docs/Installation.md).
|
|
|
|
For simpler installation steps you can use to get started with this system, check out our minimal installation guide at ['/doc/Installation_Minimal.md of that repository'](https://gitlab.com/GoMatrixHosting/create-awx-system/-/blob/master/docs/Installation_Minimal.md).

## Does I need a front-end WordPress site? And a DigitalOcean account?
|
|
|
|
You do not need a front-end WordPress site or any of the mentioned WordPress plugins to use this setup. It can be run on it's own in a non-commercial context.
|
|
|
|
You also don't need a DigitalOcean account, but this will limit you to only being able to connect 'On-Premises' servers.
