You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_client_schildichat_configuration_extension_json` variable - -For example, to override some SchildiChat Web settings, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file: - -```yaml - # Your custom JSON configuration for SchildiChat Web should go to `matrix_client_schildichat_configuration_extension_json`. - # This configuration extends the default starting configuration (`matrix_client_schildichat_configuration_default`). - # - # You can override individual variables from the default configuration, or introduce new ones. - # - # If you need something more special, you can take full control by - # completely redefining `matrix_client_schildichat_configuration_default`. - # -matrix_client_schildichat_configuration_extension_json: | - { - "disable_3pid_login": true, - "disable_login_language_selector": true - } -``` - -## Installing - -After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below: - - ```sh -ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start -``` - -The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all` +systemctl disable --now matrix-client-schildichat.service -`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
