Configuring the Ansible playbook
To configure the playbook, you need to have done the following things:
- have a server where Matrix services will run
- configured your DNS records
- retrieved the playbook's source code to your computer
You can then follow these steps inside the playbook directory:
-
create a directory to hold your configuration (
mkdir inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>
) -
copy the sample configuration file (
cp examples/host-vars.yml inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml
) -
edit the configuration file (
inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml
) to your liking. You may also take a look at the variousroles/ROLE_NAME_HERE/defaults/main.yml
files and see if there's something you'd like to copy over and override in yourvars.yml
configuration file. -
copy the sample inventory hosts file (
cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts
) -
edit the inventory hosts file (
inventory/hosts
) to your liking
For a basic Matrix installation, that's all you need. For a more custom setup, see the Other configuration options below.
When you're done with all the configuration you'd like to do, continue with Installing.
