# 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](configuring-dns.md)
- [retrieved the playbook's source code](getting-the-playbook.md) to your computer
You can then follow these steps inside the playbook directory:
1. create a directory to hold your configuration (`mkdir inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>`)
1. copy the sample configuration file (`cp examples/vars.yml inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`)
1. edit the configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`) to your liking. You may also take a look at the various `roles/ROLE_NAME_HERE/defaults/main.yml` files and see if there's something you'd like to copy over and override in your `vars.yml` configuration file.
1. copy the sample inventory hosts file (`cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts`)
1. edit the inventory hosts file (`inventory/hosts`) to your liking
1. (optional, advanced) to run Ansible against multiple servers with different `sudo` credentials, you can copy the sample inventory hosts yaml file for each of your hosts: (`cp examples/host.yml inventory/my_host1.yml` …) and use the [`ansible-all-hosts.sh`](../inventory/scripts/ansible-all-hosts.sh) script [in the installation step](installing.md).
For a basic Matrix installation, that's all you need.
For a more custom setup, see the [Other configuration options](#other-configuration-options) below.
When you're done with all the configuration you'd like to do, continue with [Installing](installing.md).

Add matrix-appservice-kakaotalk support Adds support for: https://src.miscworks.net/fair/matrix-appservice-kakaotalk This is pretty similar to https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/1977 which just appeared, but has mostly been done independently. I've taken some inspiration and did some fixups based on that PR. Thanks to https://github.com/hnarjis for taking the time to contribute! Notable differences between this branch compared to that PR: - better naming and documentation around the "configuration" variables - no unnecessary (5 sec.) intentional delay when starting `matrix-appservice-kakaotalk-node.service` - stores configuration in `config/`, not in `data/` - passes configuration as read-only and starts the bridge with (`--no-update`) to ensure no changes are made to it - starts containers more securely - with `matrix:matrix` user:group (not `root`) and reduced capabilities (`--cap-drop=ALL`) - uses `tcp` for communication between the "node" and the appservice (simpler than sharing unix sockets) - `registration.yaml` which is closer to the one generated by `matrix-appservice-kakaotalk` (no `de.sorunome.msc2409.push_ephemeral` stuff, etc.) - `registration.yaml` which is more customizable (customizable bot username and prefix for puppets - see `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_appservice_bot_username` and `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_user_prefix`) - less fragile and more extensible bridge permissions configuration via `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_bridge_permissions`. Doing `{% if matrix_admin %}` in the bridge configuration sometimes causes syntax problems (I hit some myself) and is not ideal. Other bridges should be redone as well. - configurable command prefix for the bridge, instead of hardcoding `!kt` (see `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_command_prefix`) - logging that is more consistent with the rest of the playbook (console / journald only, no logging to files), as well as configurable log level (via `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_logging_level`) - somewhat more detailed documentation (`docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-kakaotalk.md`) - removed some dead code (data relocation tasks from `tasks/setup_install.yml`, as well as likely unnecessary SQLite -> Postgres migration)
