# Configuring the Ansible playbook
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
2019-03-10 15:02:17 +00:00
To configure the playbook, you need to have done the following things:
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
2019-03-10 15:02:17 +00:00
- 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:
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
- 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`)
2019-01-12 15:53:00 +00:00
- 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.
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
- 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 ](#other-configuration-options ) below.
When you're done with all the configuration you'd like to do, continue with [Installing ](installing.md ).
