This is a simplification and a way to make it consistent with
how we do Postgres imports (see 6d89319822), using
files coming from the server, not from the local machine.
By encouraging people NOT to use local files,
we potentially avoid problems such as #34 (Github issue),
where people would download `media_store` to their Mac's filesystem
and case-sensitivity issues will actually corrupt it.
By not encouraging local files usage, it's less likely that
people would copy (huge) directories to their local machine like that.

Installing
If you've configured your DNS and have configured the playbook, you can start the installation procedure.
Run this as-is to set up a server:
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all
This doesn't start any services just yet (another step does this later - below).
Feel free to re-run this any time you think something is off with the server configuration.
Things you might want to do after installing
After installing, but before starting the services, you may want to do additional things like:
-
Importing an existing SQLite database (from another installation) (optional)
-
Importing an existing Postgres database (from another installation) (optional)
-
Importing
media_storedata files from an existing installation (optional)
Starting the services
When you're ready to start the Matrix services (and set them up to auto-start in the future):
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=start
Now that the services are running, you might want to:
- create your first user account
- or finalize the installation process by Configuring service discovery via .well-known
- or Check if services work
- or learn how to upgrade your services when new versions are released
