We've had some people get confused into installing Matrix Corporal and having pain with that. With this documentation change, we try to make it clearer that it's an advanced feature not to be touched unless you know what you're doing. On a similar note, we also make sure other things are properly labeled as "(optional)" and/or "(advanced)".

# Configuring the Ansible playbook
|
|
|
|
Once you have your server and you have [configured your DNS records](configuring-dns.md#configuring-dns), you can proceed with configuring this playbook, so that it knows what to install and where.
|
|
|
|
You can follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
- 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`)
|
|
|
|
- edit the configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`) to your liking. You may also take a look at `roles/matrix-server/defaults/main.yml` and see if there's something you'd like to copy over and override in your `vars.yml` configuration file.
|
|
|
|
- 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).
