Configuring the Ansible playbook

To configure the playbook, you need to have done the following things:

• have a server where Matrix services will run
• configured your DNS records
• retrieved the playbook’s source code to your computer

You can then initialize the the configuration files vars.yml and hosts by running ./initialize.sh. If you need to change the variables, you can opt to run the script again.

For a basic Matrix installation, that’s all you need. For a more custom setup, see the Other configuration options below.

When you’re done with all the configuration you’d like to do, continue with Installing.
