[![Support room on Matrix](https://img.shields.io/matrix/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy:devture.com.svg?label=%23matrix-docker-ansible-deploy%3Adevture.com&logo=matrix&style=for-the-badge&server_fqdn=matrix.devture.com)](https://matrix.to/#/#matrix-docker-ansible-deploy:devture.com) [![donate](https://liberapay.com/assets/widgets/donate.svg)](https://liberapay.com/s.pantaleev/donate)
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)).
- (optional, default) a [Synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse) homeserver - storing your data and managing your presence in the [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) network
- (optional) a [Dendrite](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite) homeserver - storing your data and managing your presence in the [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) network. Dendrite is a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go, an alternative to Synapse.
