## Setup
2020-10-14 01:18:38 +02:00
Most cloud providers / ISPs will charge you extra for a static IP address. If you're
not hosting a highly reliable homeserver you can workaround this via dynamic DNS. To
set this up, you'll need to get the username/password from your DNS provider. For
google domains, this process is described [here](https://support.google.com/domains/answer/6147083).

After you've gotten the proper credentials you can add the following config to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml:
2020-10-14 01:18:38 +02:00
```yaml
2020-11-10 22:30:38 +01:00
matrix_dynamic_dns_enabled: true
matrix_dynamic_dns_domain_configurations:
- provider: domains.google.com
protocol: dyndn2
username: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
domain: "{{ matrix_domain }}"
2020-10-14 01:18:38 +02:00
```
