To ensure maximum discovery, you can make your identity server also forward lookups to the central matrix.org Identity server (at the cost of potentially leaking all your contacts information).

## Customizing email templates
If you'd like to change the default email templates used by mxisd, take a look at the `matrix_mxisd_threepid_medium_email_custom_` variables
(in the `roles/matrix-mxisd/defaults/main.yml` file.
## mxisd-controlled Registration
To use the [Registration](https://github.com/kamax-matrix/mxisd/blob/master/docs/features/registration.md) feature of mxisd, you can make use of the following variables:
- `matrix_synapse_enable_registration` - to enable user-initiated registration in Synapse
- `matrix_synapse_enable_registration` - to enable user-initiated registration in Synapse
- `matrix_synapse_registrations_require_3pid` - to control the types of 3pid (`'email'`, `'msisdn'`) required by the Synapse server for registering
- `matrix_synapse_registrations_require_3pid` - to control the types of 3pid (`'email'`, `'msisdn'`) required by the Synapse server for registering
- variables prefixed with `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_3pid_registration_` (e.g. `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_3pid_registration_enabled`) - to configure the integrated nginx webserver to send registration requests to mxisd (instead of Synapse), so it can apply its additional functionality
- `matrix_mxisd_configuration_extension_yaml` - to configure mxisd as required. See the [Registration feature's docs](https://github.com/kamax-matrix/mxisd/blob/master/docs/features/registration.md) for inspiration. Also see the [Additional features](#additional-features) section below to learn more about how to use `matrix_mxisd_configuration_extension_yaml`.

@ -50,7 +46,14 @@ To use a more custom configuration, you can define a `matrix_mxisd_configuration
and put your configuration in it.
To learn more about how to do this, refer to the information about `matrix_mxisd_configuration_extension_yaml` in the [default variables file](../roles/matrix-mxisd/defaults/main.yml) of the mxisd component.
## Troubleshooting
If email address validation emails sent by mxisd are not reaching you, you should look into [Adjusting email-sending settings](configuring-playbook-email.md).
If you'd like additional logging information, temporarily enable verbose logging for mxisd.
Example configuration (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml`):
```yaml
matrix_mxisd_verbose_logging: true
```

## How to see the current status of your services
You can check the status of your services by using `systemctl status`. Example:
```
sudo systemctl status matrix-nginx-proxy

You can see the logs by using journalctl. Example:

## Increasing Synapse logging
Because the [Synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse) Matrix server is originally very chatty when it comes to logging, we intentionally reduce its [logging level](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging-levels) from `INFO` to `WARNING`.
