# Matrix (An open network for secure, decentralized communication) server setup using Ansible and Docker
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
This [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) playbook is meant to help you run your own [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) homeserver, along with the [various services](#supported-services) related to that.
|
|
|
|
That is, it lets you join the Matrix network using your own `@<username>:<your-domain>` identifier, all hosted on your own server (see [prerequisites](docs/prerequisites.md)).
|
|
|
|
We run all services in [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) containers (see [the container images we use](docs/container-images.md)), which lets us have a predictable and up-to-date setup, across multiple supported distros (see [prerequisites](docs/prerequisites.md)) and [architectures](docs/alternative-architectures.md) (x86/amd64 being recommended).
|
|
|
|
[Installation](docs/README.md) (upgrades) and some maintenance tasks are automated using [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) (see [our Ansible guide](docs/ansible.md)).
|
|
|
|
|
|

Basically, this playbook aims to get you up-and-running with all the necessities around Matrix, without you having to do anything else.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: the list above is exhaustive. It includes optional or even some advanced components that you will most likely not need.
|
|
Sticking with the defaults (which install a subset of the above components) is the best choice, especially for a new installation.
|
|
You can always re-run the playbook later to add or remove components.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
