* 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. Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * 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" Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * 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. Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * Update docs/configuring-playbook-etherpad.md: remove the note about ensure-matrix-users-created Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> --------- Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> Co-authored-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org>

Setting up Dynamic DNS (optional)
The playbook can configure Dynamic DNS with ddclient for you. It is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on Dynamic DNS Network Service Provider.
Most cloud providers / ISPs will charge you extra for a static IP address. If you're not hosting a highly reliable homeserver you can workaround this via dynamic DNS.
Prerequisite
You'll need to get a username and password from your DNS provider. Please consult with the provider about how to retrieve them.
Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable dynamic DNS, add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:
matrix_dynamic_dns_enabled: true
matrix_dynamic_dns_domain_configurations:
- provider: example.net
protocol: dyndn2
username: YOUR_USERNAME_HERE
password: YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE
domain: "{{ matrix_domain }}"
Installing
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 the just program 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. Note these shortcuts run the ensure-matrix-users-created tag too.
