# Configuring your DNS server
|
||
|
|
||
|
To set up Matrix on your domain, you'd need to do some DNS configuration.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use an identifier like `@<username>:<your-domain>`, you don't actually need
|
||
|
to install anything on the actual `<your-domain>` server.
|
||
|
|
||
|
All services created by this playbook are meant to be installed on their own server (such as `matrix.<your-domain>`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
To accomplish such a "redirect", you need to instruct the Matrix network of this by setting up a DNS SRV record.
|
||
|
The SRV record should look like this:
|
||
|
- Name: `_matrix._tcp` (use this text as-is)
|
||
|
- Content: `10 0 8448 matrix.<your-domain>` (replace `<your-domain>` with your own)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once you've set up this DNS SRV record, you should create 2 other domain names (`matrix.<your-domain>` and `riot.<your-domain>`) and point both of them to your new server's IP address (DNS `A` record or `CNAME` is fine).
|
||
|
|
||
|
This playbook can then install all the services on that new server and you'll be able to join the Matrix network as `@<username>:<your-domain>`, even though everything is installed elsewhere (not on `<your-domain>`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
When ready to proceed, continue with [Configuring this Ansible playbook](configuring-playbook.md).
