* Replace installation command shortcut for the "just" program with the most conservative raw ansible-playbook command This commit replaces installation command shortcut ("recipe") for the "just" program with the raw ansible-playbook command, so that the shortcut will be added to it later. The command is so conservative that failure of the command will mean something is clearly broken. Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * Add comments about using setup-all instead of install-all Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * Add description about shortcut command with the "just" program to the ansible-playbook command with "setup-all" and "start" tags It also explains difference between "just install-all" and "just setup-all" recipes. The explanation is based on docs/playbook-tags.md Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * Update raw ansible-playbook command to have it do what "just install-all" or "just setup-all" does Since "just install-all" or "just setup-all" invokes "ensure-matrix-users-created" as well, it needs adding to the raw ansible-playbook command. Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * Remove "ensure-matrix-users-created" from the raw ansible-playbook command which does not need it Also: update the "just" recipes accordingly. "just install-all" and "just setup-all" run "ensure-matrix-users-created" tag as well, therefore they need to be replaced with "run-tags" recipes to skip "ensure-matrix-users-created" Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * Update docs/configuring-playbook-etherpad.md: add ensure-matrix-users-created to the raw ansible-playbook Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * Add description about "ensure-matrix-users-created" and create a list with description about shortcut commands with "just" This commit also fixes list item capitalization and punctuation.

Configuring Riot-web (optional)
By default, this playbook used to install the Riot-web Matrix client web application.
Riot has since been renamed to Element.
- to learn more about Element Web and its configuration, see our dedicated Configuring Element Web documentation page
- to learn how to migrate from Riot to Element Web, see Migrating to Element Web below
Migrating to Element Web
Migrating your custom settings
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_
).
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.
Domain migration
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.
There are a few options for handling this:
-
(avoiding changes - using the old
riot.example.com
domain and avoiding DNS changes) -- to keep usingriot.example.com
instead ofelement.example.com
, override the domain at which the playbook serves Element Web:matrix_server_fqn_element: "riot.{{ matrix_domain }}"
-
(embracing changes - using only
element.example.com
) - set up theelement.example.com
DNS record (see Configuring DNS). You can drop theriot.example.com
in this case.
Re-running the playbook
After configuring the playbook, run it with playbook tags as below:
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
The shortcut commands with just
program are also available: just run-tags install-all,start
or just run-tags setup-all,start
just run-tags install-all,start
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 run-tags setup-all,start
, or these components will still remain installed. For more information about just
shortcuts, take a look at this page: Running just
commands
