Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/3701 We can restore support for it by making a non-/ path prefix trigger a self-build with a modified build config, so that a Cinny version with path-prefix support would be produced. Traefik label changes may also be required. For now, we're not doing all that work, but simply dropping support for path prefixes for Cinny.

Setting up Cinny (optional)
This playbook can install the Cinny Matrix web client for you.
Cinny is a web client focusing primarily on simple, elegant and secure interface. It can be installed alongside or instead of Element.
Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable Cinny, add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:
matrix_client_cinny_enabled: true
Adjusting the Cinny URL
By default, this playbook installs Cinny on the cinny. subdomain (cinny.example.com) and requires you to adjust your DNS records.
By tweaking the matrix_client_cinny_hostname variable, you can easily make the service available at a different hostname than the default one.
While a matrix_client_cinny_path_prefix variable exists for tweaking the path-prefix, it's not supported anymore, because Cinny requires an application rebuild (with a tweaked build config) to be functional under a custom path.
Example additional configuration for your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:
# Switch to a different domain (`app.example.com`) than the default one (`cinny.example.com`)
matrix_client_cinny_hostname: "app.{{ matrix_domain }}"
Adjusting DNS records
Once you've decided on the domain, you may need to adjust your DNS records to point the Cinny domain to the Matrix server.
By default, you will need to create a CNAME record for cinny. See Configuring DNS for details about DNS changes.
If you've adjusted matrix_client_cinny_hostname, you will need to adjust your DNS configuration accordingly.
Installing
After configuring the playbook and adjusting your DNS records, run the installation command: just install-all or just setup-all
