Upgrade LiveKit Server (v1.8.4-1 -> v1.8.4-2)

Fixes:

> [DEPRECATION WARNING]: community.general.yaml has been deprecated. The plugin has been superseded by the the option `result_format=yaml` in callback plugin ansible.builtin.default from ansible-core 2.13 onwards. This feature will be removed from
community.general in version 13.0.0. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

+GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+Version 3, 19 November 2007
+
+Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
+
+The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast, our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users.
+
+When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they receive widespread use, become available for other developers to incorporate.  Many developers of free software are heartened and encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However, in the case of software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about. The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its source code to the public.
+
+The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available to the community.  It requires the operator of a network server to provide the source code of the modified version running there to the users of that server.  Therefore, public use of a modified version, on a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source code of the modified version.
+
+An older license, called the Affero General Public License and published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals.  This is a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under this license.
+
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+0. Definitions.
+
+"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
+
+To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+1. Source Code.
+The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source form of a work.
+
+A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
+
+The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
+
+2. Basic Permissions.
+All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
+
+3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
+
+When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
+
+4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.
+
+A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
+
+6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
+
+A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.
+
+A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
+
+If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
+
+The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.
+
+Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+7. Additional Terms.
+"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
+
+All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
+
+Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
+
+8. Termination.
+
+You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
+
+However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
+
+Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
+
+9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+11. Patents.
+
+A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
+
+Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
+
+If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
+
+A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
+
+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software.  This Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph.
+
+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
+
+Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
+
+15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+     Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+     This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
+
+     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
+
+     You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to get its source.  For example, if your program is a web application, its interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive of the code.  There are many ways you could offer source, and different solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the specific requirements.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

+
+CC0 1.0 Universal
+
+    CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE
+    LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN
+    ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS
+    INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES
+    REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS
+    PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM
+    THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED
+    HEREUNDER.
+
+Statement of Purpose
+
+The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
+exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
+and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
+authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
+
+Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
+the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
+scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear
+of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other
+works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
+and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.
+These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free
+culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
+works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in
+part through the use and efforts of others.
+
+For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
+expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
+associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
+is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
+elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
+terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
+Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
+
+1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
+protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
+Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
+limited to, the following:
+
+  i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
+     communicate, and translate a Work;
+ ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
+iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
+     likeness depicted in a Work;
+ iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
+     subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
+  v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
+     in a Work;
+ vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
+     European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
+     protection of databases, and under any national implementation
+     thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
+     directive); and
+vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the
+     world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national
+     implementations thereof.
+
+2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
+of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
+irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
+Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
+of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
+future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
+worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
+treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
+medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
+including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
+purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
+member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
+successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
+revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
+equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
+as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
+
+3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
+be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
+Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
+account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
+extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
+person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
+irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
+Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
+maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
+time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
+of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
+limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
+"License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
+applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
+reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
+partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
+of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
+will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
+Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
+action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
+express Statement of Purpose.
+
+4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
+
+ a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
+    surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
+ b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
+    warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied,
+    statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of
+    title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non
+    infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
+    the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to
+    the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
+ c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
+    that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
+    limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
+    Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
+    consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the
+    Work.
+ d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
+    party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to
+    this CC0 or use of the Work.

+This Ansible playbook tries to make self-hosting and maintaining a Matrix server fairly easy (see [Getting started](#-getting-started)). Still, running any service smoothly requires knowledge, time and effort.
 
 If you like the [FOSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software) spirit of this Ansible playbook, but prefer to put the responsibility on someone else, you can also [get a managed Matrix server from etke.cc](https://etke.cc?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) (both hosting and on-premises) - a service built on top of this Ansible playbook but with [additional components](https://etke.cc/help/extras/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) and [services](https://etke.cc/services/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) which all help you run a Matrix server with ease. Be advised that etke.cc operates on a subscription-based approach and there is no "just set up my server once and be done with it" option.
 
+## 🚀 Getting started
 
-## Supported services
+We have detailed documentation in the [docs/](./docs) directory - see the Table of Contents in the [documentation README](./docs/README.md).
+
+While the [list of supported services](#-supported-services) and documentation is very extensive, you don't need to read through everything. We recommend:
+
+- Starting with the basics. You can always add/remove or tweak services later on.
+
+- Following our installation guide. There are two guides available for beginners and advanced users:
+
+    - ⚡ **[Quick start](./docs/quick-start.md) (for beginners)**: this is recommended for those who do not have an existing Matrix server and want to start quickly with "opinionated defaults".
+
+    - **Full installation guide (for advanced users)**: if you need to import an existing Matrix server's data into the new server or want to learn more while setting up the server, follow this guide by starting with the **[Prerequisites](./docs/prerequisites.md)** documentation page.
+
+If you experience an issue on configuring the playbook, setting up your server, maintaining services on it, etc., please take a look at our [FAQ](./docs/faq.md). If you cannot find an answer to your question, feel free to ask for [help and support](#-support).
+
+## ✔ Supported services
 
 Using this playbook, you can get the following list of services configured on your server. Basically, this playbook aims to get you up-and-running with all the necessities around Matrix, without you having to do anything else.
 
-**Note**: the list below is exhaustive. It includes optional or even some advanced components that you will most likely not need.
-Sticking with the defaults (which install a subset of the above components) is the best choice, especially for a new installation.
-You can always re-run the playbook later to add or remove components.

 With this configuration change in place, projects like [MatrixRooms.info](https://matrixrooms.info/) (made by [etke.cc](https://etke.cc/)) and potentially others in the future, can discover, index the metadata (room address, title, topic, number of users, etc.) and make public rooms browsable & searchable across the whole Matrix Federation. It'd be great if users joining Matrix could more easily find interesting communities that match their interests!

 [Element Call](https://github.com/element-hq/element-call) seems to have become a nice and polished product lately (as proclaimed in [The Matrix Holiday Update 2023](https://matrix.org/blog/2023/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2023/)), so 2024 is likely the year we'll see support for it in the playbook. Element Call depends on the [LiveKit](https://livekit.io/) streaming server (which is also useful to developers even by itself), so the first step is likely to see LiveKit support in mash-playbook via a reusable Ansible role. Such a LiveKit Ansible role could later easily land in matrix-docker-ansible-deploy and an Element Call static website could be hooked to it.

+# Configuring DNS settings
+
+<sup>[Prerequisites](prerequisites.md) > Configuring DNS settings > [Getting the playbook](getting-the-playbook.md) > [Configuring the playbook](configuring-playbook.md) > [Installing](installing.md)</sup>
 
 To set up Matrix on your domain, you'd need to do some DNS configuration.
 
-To use an identifier like `@<username>:example.com`, you don't actually need to install anything on the actual `example.com` server.
-
-You do, however, need to instruct the Matrix network that Matrix services for `example.com` are delegated over to `matrix.example.com`.
-
-As we discuss in [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md), there are 2 different ways to set up such delegation:
-
-- either by serving a `https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server` file (from the base domain!)
-- or by using a `_matrix._tcp` DNS SRV record (don't confuse this with the `_matrix-identity._tcp` SRV record described below)
-
-This playbook mostly discusses the well-known file method, because it's easier to manage with regard to certificates. If you decide to go with the alternative method ([Server Delegation via a DNS SRV record (advanced)](howto-server-delegation.md#server-delegation-via-a-dns-srv-record-advanced)), please be aware that the general flow that this playbook guides you through may not match what you need to do.

-| Type  | Host                         | Priority | Weight | Port | Target                 |
-| ----- | ---------------------------- | -------- | ------ | ---- | ---------------------- |
-| A     | `matrix`                     | -        | -      | -    | `matrix-server-IP`     |
-| CNAME | `element`                    | -        | -      | -    | `matrix.example.com` |
+To serve the base domain (`example.com`) and [Element Web](configuring-playbook-client-element-web.md) with the default subdomain, adjust DNS records as below.
+
+| Type  | Host      | Priority | Weight | Port | Target               |
+| ----- | --------- | -------- | ------ | ---- | ---------------------|
+| A     | `matrix`  | -        | -      | -    | `matrix-server-IPv4` |
+| AAAA  | `matrix`  | -        | -      | -    | `matrix-server-IPv6` |
+| CNAME | `element` | -        | -      | -    | `matrix.example.com` |
+
+As the table illustrates, you need to create 2 subdomains (`matrix.example.com` and `element.example.com`) and point both of them to your server's IPv4/IPv6 address.
+
+If you don't have IPv6 connectivity yet, you can skip the `AAAA` record. For more details about IPv6, see the [Configuring IPv6](./configuring-ipv6.md) documentation page.
+
+The `element.example.com` subdomain is necessary, because this playbook installs the [Element Web](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web) client for you by default. If you'd rather instruct the playbook not to install Element Web (`matrix_client_element_enabled: false` when [Configuring the playbook](configuring-playbook.md) later), feel free to skip the `element.example.com` DNS record.
 
 Be mindful as to how long it will take for the DNS records to propagate.
 
-If you are using Cloudflare DNS, make sure to disable the proxy and set all records to `DNS only`. Otherwise, fetching certificates will fail.
+**Note**: if you are using Cloudflare DNS, make sure to disable the proxy and set all records to "DNS only". Otherwise, fetching certificates will fail.

+To use such an ID, you don't need to install anything on the actual `example.com` server. Instead, you need to instruct the Matrix network that Matrix services for `example.com` are redirected over to `matrix.example.com`. This redirection is also known as "delegation".
 
-When setting up a SRV record, if you are asked for a service and protocol instead of a hostname split the host value from the table where the period is. For example use service as `_matrix-identity` and protocol as `_tcp`.
+As we discuss in [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md), server delegation can be configured in either of these ways:
 
-## Subdomains setup
+- Setting up a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file on the base domain (`example.com`)
+- Setting up a `_matrix._tcp` DNS SRV record
 
-As the table above illustrates, you need to create 2 subdomains (`matrix.example.com` and `element.example.com`) and point both of them to your new server's IP address (DNS `A` record or `CNAME` record is fine).
+For simplicity reasons, this playbook recommends you to set up server delegation via a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file, instead of using a DNS SRV record.
 
-The `element.example.com` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook installs the [Element](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web) web client for you. If you'd rather instruct the playbook not to install Element (`matrix_client_element_enabled: false` when [Configuring the playbook](configuring-playbook.md) later), feel free to skip the `element.example.com` DNS record.
+If you choose the recommended method (file-based delegation), you do not need to configure the DNS record to enable server delegation. You will need to add a necessary configuration later, when you [finalize the installation](installing.md#finalize-the-installation) after installing and starting Matrix services.
 
-The `dimension.example.com` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Dimension integration manager](http://dimension.t2bot.io/) for you. The installation of Dimension is disabled by default, because it's only possible to install it after the other Matrix services are working (see [Setting up Dimension integration manager](configuring-playbook-dimension.md) later). If you do not wish to set up Dimension, feel free to skip the `dimension.example.com` DNS record.
+On the other hand, if you choose this method (setting up a DNS SRV record), you need to configure the additional DNS record as well as adjust SSL certificate handling. Take a look at this documentation for more information: [Server Delegation via a DNS SRV record (advanced)](howto-server-delegation.md#server-delegation-via-a-dns-srv-record-advanced)
 
-The `jitsi.example.com` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Jitsi video-conferencing platform](https://jitsi.org/) for you. The installation of Jitsi is disabled by default, because it may be heavy and is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [Jitsi](configuring-playbook-jitsi.md) guide. If you do not wish to set up Jitsi, feel free to skip the `jitsi.example.com` DNS record.
+---------------------------------------------
 
-The `stats.example.com` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) and setup performance metrics for you. The installation of Grafana is disabled by default, it is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [metrics and graphs guide](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md). If you do not wish to set up Grafana, feel free to skip the `stats.example.com` DNS record. It is possible to install Prometheus without installing Grafana, this would also not require the `stats.example.com` subdomain.
-
-The `goneb.example.com` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Go-NEB](https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb) bot. The installation of Go-NEB is disabled by default, it is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [configuring Go-NEB guide](configuring-playbook-bot-go-neb.md). If you do not wish to set up Go-NEB, feel free to skip the `goneb.example.com` DNS record.
-
-The `sygnal.example.com` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Sygnal](https://github.com/matrix-org/sygnal) push gateway. The installation of Sygnal is disabled by default, it is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [configuring Sygnal guide](configuring-playbook-sygnal.md). If you do not wish to set up Sygnal (you probably don't, unless you're also developing/building your own Matrix apps), feel free to skip the `sygnal.example.com` DNS record.
-
-The `ntfy.example.com` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [ntfy](https://ntfy.sh/) UnifiedPush-compatible push notifications server. The installation of ntfy is disabled by default, it is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [configuring ntfy guide](configuring-playbook-ntfy.md). If you do not wish to set up ntfy, feel free to skip the `ntfy.example.com` DNS record.
-
-The `etherpad.example.com` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Etherpad](https://etherpad.org/) a highly customizable open source online editor providing collaborative editing in really real-time. The installation of Etherpad is disabled by default, it is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [configuring Etherpad guide](configuring-playbook-etherpad.md). If you do not wish to set up Etherpad, feel free to skip the `etherpad.example.com` DNS record.

-The `hydrogen.example.com` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Hydrogen](https://github.com/element-hq/hydrogen-web) web client. The installation of Hydrogen is disabled by default, it is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [configuring Hydrogen guide](configuring-playbook-client-hydrogen.md). If you do not wish to set up Hydrogen, feel free to skip the `hydrogen.example.com` DNS record.

+# Configuring IPv6
+
+Since 2025-03-08, the [default example configuration](../examples/vars.yml) for the playbook recommends enabling [IPv6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6) support for Docker's container networks.
+
+**If you have IPv6 support on your server/network** (see [How do I check if my server has IPv6 connectivity?](#how-do-i-check-if-my-server-has-ipv6-connectivity)), then [enabling IPv6 support for the playbook](#enabling-ipv6-support-for-the-playbook) would give you:
+
+- 📥 incoming IPv6 connectivity to the server via the server's IPv6 address/addresses (containers won't have their own individual publicly accessible IPs)
+- 📤 outgoing IPv6 connectivity from the server via the server's IPv6 address/addresses (containers won't exit via their own individual IPv6 address)
+- 🔄 IPv6 connectivity for cross-container communication
+
+**If you still don't have IPv6 support on your server/network**, then enabling IPv6 support for the playbook will only enable IPv6 connectivity for cross-container communication and shouldn't affect your server's incoming/outgoing communication. You may also be interested in reading if [there's a performance penalty to enabling IPv6 if the server/network doesn't support IPv6 connectivity?](#is-there-a-performance-penalty-to-enabling-ipv6-if-the-server-network-doesn-t-support-ipv6-connectivity)
+
+As such, **we recommend that you follow the default example configuration and leave IPv6 support for Docker enabled in all cases**.
+
+Enabling IPv6 consists of 2 steps:
+
+- [Enabling IPv6 support for the playbook](#enabling-ipv6-support-for-the-playbook)
+- [Configuring DNS records for IPv6](#configuring-dns-records-for-ipv6)
+
+💡 If you've followed a recent version of our documentation, you would have already done these steps, so there's nothing else to do.
+
+## Enabling IPv6 support for the playbook
+
+You can enable IPv6 support for all components' Docker container networks by using the following `vars.yml` configuration:
+
+```yml
+# Controls whether container networks will be created with IPv6 support.
+#
+# If you also have IPv6 support on your server/network and AAAA DNS records pointing to the server,
+# enabling this will effectively give you full public IPv6 connectivity (powered by NAT66).
+#
+# We recommend leaving this enabled even if you don't currently have IPv6 connectivity on your server/network.
+# This way, once you eventually get IPv6 connectivity, you won't have to change anything (besides DNS records).
+#
+# Flipping this setting later on requires manual work (stopping services, deleting and recreating all container networks).
+#
+# In the future, this setting will likely default to `true`, so if you really want IPv6 disabled, explicitly set this to `false`.
+#
+# People managing Docker themselves and running an older Docker version will need additional configuration.
+#
+# Learn more in `docs/configuring-ipv6.md`.
+devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled: true
+```
+
+Doing this:
+
+- all container networks will be IPv6-enabled
+
+- NAT66 will be used, so that:
+  - containers will get [Unique Local Addresses (ULA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address)
+  - the outgoing IPv6 address for containers will be the same as the one on the server
+  - traffic destined for the IPv6 address of the server will be forwarded to the containers that handle (and publish) that specific port
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Without enabling this and assuming you have IPv6 `AAAA` DNS records pointing to the server (see [Configuring DNS records for IPv6](#configuring-dns-records-for-ipv6)), IPv6 traffic will still be handled, but NAT64 will be used instead of NAT66.
+> As such, containers will only have an IPv4 address and all IPv6 traffic that reaches them will seem to originate from a local IP. Containers also won't be able to make outgoing (even cross-container) IPv6 requests.
+
+To confirm connectivity, see the following other resources:
+
+- [How do I check if my server has IPv6 connectivity?](#how-do-i-check-if-my-server-has-ipv6-connectivity)
+- [How do I check outgoing IPv6 connectivity for containers?](#how-do-i-check-outgoing-ipv6-connectivity-for-containers)
+- [How do I check incoming IPv6 connectivity for containers?](#how-do-i-check-incoming-ipv6-connectivity-for-containers)
+- [How do I confirm if my container networks are IPv6-enabled?](#how-do-i-confirm-if-my-container-networks-are-ipv6-enabled)
+- Ensure that the [Federation Tester](https://federationtester.matrix.org/) reports that your server is reachable over IPv6.
+
+## Configuring DNS records for IPv6
+
+[Enabling IPv6 support for the playbook](#enabling-ipv6-support-for-the-playbook) tells you how to prepare for IPv6 on the container (Docker) side.
+
+For full public IPv6 connectivity (and not just IPv6 connectivity for containers inside the container networks) you also need to **ensure that your domain names** (e.g. `matrix.example.com` and others) have IPv6 (`AAAA`) DNS records pointing to the server's IPv6 address.
+
+Also see the [Configuring DNS settings](configuring-dns.md) documentation page for more details.
+
+### A note about old Docker
+
+With our [default example configuration](../examples/vars.yml), the playbook manages Docker for you and installs a modern-enough version.
+
+Docker versions newer than 27.0.1 enable IPv6 integration at the Docker daemon level out of the box. This still requires that networks are created with IPv6 support as described in the [Enabling IPv6 support for the playbook](#enabling-ipv6-support-for-the-playbook) section above.
+
+**If you're on an old Docker version** (Docker 27.0.0 or older) for some reason, it's likely that your Docker installation is not enabled for IPv6 at all. In such a case:
+
+- if Docker is managed by the playbook, you can tell it to force-enable IPv6 via `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_daemon_options_changing_enabled: true`
+
+- if Docker is managed by you manually, you can add `{"experimental": true, "ip6tables": true}` to the Docker daemon options and restart the Docker service (`docker.service`).
+
+### Frequently Asked Questions
+
+#### How do I check if my server has IPv6 connectivity?
+
+##### With curl
+
+You can run `curl https://icanhazip.com` and see if it returns an [IPv6 address](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address) (an address with `:` characters in it, like `2001:db8:1234:5678::1`). If it does, then your server has IPv6 connectivity and prefers it over using IPv4. This is common.
+
+If you see an IPv4 address instead (e.g. `1.2.3.4`), it may be that your server prefers IPv4 over IPv6 or that your network does not support IPv6. You can try forcing `curl` to use IPv6 by running `curl -6 https://icanhazip.com` and see if it returns an IPv6 address.
+
+##### With other network utilities
+
+You can run `ip -6 addr` to see if you have any IPv6 addresses assigned to your server, besides the link-local (`fe80::*`) addresses that everyone has (unless they have force-disabled IPv6 support on their system).
+
+If you do have an IPv6 address, it's still worth [using curl](#with-curl) to confirm that your server can successfully make outgoing requests over IPv6.
+
+#### What does the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting actually do?
+
+The `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting controls whether container networks will be created with IPv6 support.
+
+Changing this setting subsequently requires manual work (deleting all container networks).
+See [I've changed the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting, but it doesn't seem to have any effect](#i-ve-changed-the-devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled-setting-but-it-doesn-t-seem-to-have-any-effect).
+
+#### I've changed the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
+
+If you're using an older Docker version (Docker 27.0.0 or older), see [A note about old Docker](#a-note-about-old-docker).
+
+If you've previously installed with one `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` value and then changed it to another, you need to:
+
+- stop all services (`just stop-all`)
+- delete all container networks on the server: `docker network rm $(docker network ls -q)`
+- re-run the playbook fully: `just install-all`
+
+#### How do I confirm if my container networks are IPv6-enabled?
+
+You can list container networks by running `docker network ls` on the server.
+
+For each container network (e.g. `matrix-homeserver`), you can check if it has IPv6 connectivity by running a command like this: `docker network inspect matrix-homeserver`.
+
+Ensure that there's an IPv6 subnet/gateway in the `IPAM.Config` section. If yes, you may wish to proceed with [How do I check outgoing IPv6 connectivity for containers?](#how-do-i-check-outgoing-ipv6-connectivity-for-containers)
+
+If there's no IPv6 subnet/gateway in the `IPAM.Config` section, this container network was not created with IPv6 support.
+See [I've changed the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting, but it doesn't seem to have any effect](#i-ve-changed-the-devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled-setting-but-it-doesn-t-seem-to-have-any-effect).
+
+#### How do I check outgoing IPv6 connectivity for containers?
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm --network=matrix-homeserver quay.io/curl/curl:latest curl -6 https://icanhazip.com
+```
+
+💡 This one-off container is connected to the `matrix-homeserver` container network, not to the default Docker bridge network. The default Docker `bridge` network does not have IPv6 connectivity by default (yet) and is not influenced by the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` setting, so using that network (by omitting `--network=..` from the command above) will not show an IPv6 address
+
+✅ If this command returns an IPv6 address, you're all good.
+
+❌ If this command doesn't return an IPv6 address, it may be that:
+
+- your container network does not have IPv6 connectivity. See [How do I confirm if my container networks are IPv6-enabled?](#how-do-i-confirm-if-my-container-networks-are-ipv6-enabled) for more details.
+
+- your server does not have IPv6 connectivity. See [How do I check if my server has IPv6 connectivity?](#how-do-i-check-if-my-server-has-ipv6-connectivity) for more details. If you do have IPv6 connectivity, then the issue is with Docker's IPv6 configuration. Otherwise, you need to check your server's network configuration/firewall/routing and get back to configuring the playbook later on.
+
+#### How do I check incoming IPv6 connectivity for containers?
+
+Only containers that publish ports will be exposed (reachable) publicly on the server's own IPv6 address. Containers will not get their own individual public IPv6 address.
+
+For this playbook, a commonly exposed container is the Traefik reverse-proxy container (unless [you're using your own webserver](./configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md)).
+
+You can either do something like `curl -6 https://matrix.example.com` from an IPv6-enabled host (including the server itself) and see if it works.
+
+An alternative is to use the [IPv6 Port Checker](https://port.tools/port-checker-ipv6/) with a hostname of `matrix.example.com` and a port of `443`.
+
+💡 Trying to connect to `matrix.example.com` via IPv6 requires that you have already [configured the DNS records for IPv6](#configuring-dns-records-for-ipv6) as described above. If you wish to eliminate DNS as a potential issue, you can also try connecting to the server's own IPv6 address directly: `curl -6 -H 'Host: matrix.example.com' https://[2001:db8:1234:5678::1]` (we pass a `Host` header to tell Traefik which host we'd like it to serve).
+
+#### Why enable IPv6 if my network doesn't support it yet?
+
+Because when your network does get support for IPv6 later on (even if that's 5 years away), you won't have to change anything besides [configuring the DNS records for IPv6](#configuring-dns-records-for-ipv6).
+
+#### Can I use a custom subnet for IPv6?
+
+Not easily.
+
+The playbook and the various roles only support passing an `enable_ipv6` flag (`true` or `false` value depending on the `devture_systemd_docker_base_ipv6_enabled` Ansible variable) when creating the Docker container networks.
+
+There's no support for passing a custom subnet for IPv4 and IPv6. We let Docker auto-generate the subnets for us.
+
+You can either create a Pull Request that adds support for this to the various playbook roles, or you can manually recreate the networks from the command-line (e.g. `docker network rm matrix-homeserver && docker network create --ipv6 --subnet=2001:db8:1234:5678::/64 matrix-homeserver`).
+
+#### Can I use Global Unicast Addresses (GUA) for IPv6?
+
+No. You cannot have GUA addresses where each container is individually addressable over the public internet.
+
+The playbook only supports NAT66, which should be good enough for most use cases.
+
+Having containers get IPv6 addresses from your own GUA subnet requires complex configuration (ndp-proxy, etc.) and is not supported.
+
+You may find [this Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ipv6/comments/1alpzmb/comment/kphpw11/) interesting.
+
+#### Is there a performance penalty to enabling IPv6 if the server/network doesn't support IPv6 connectivity?
+
+Probably a tiny one, as services may try to make (unsuccessful) outgoing requests over IPv6.
+
+In practice, it's probably negligible.

 # Setting up Prometheus Alertmanager integration via matrix-alertmanager-receiver (optional)
 
 The playbook can install and configure the [matrix-alertmanager-receiver](https://github.com/metio/matrix-alertmanager-receiver) service for you. It's a [client](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/clients/) for Prometheus' [Alertmanager](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/alertmanager/), allowing you to deliver alerts to Matrix rooms.
 
-See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/metio/matrix-alertmanager-receiver) to learn more about what this component does and why it might be useful to you.
-
-At the moment, **setting up this service's bot requires some manual actions** as described below in [Account and room preparation](#account-and-room-preparation).
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/metio/matrix-alertmanager-receiver/blob/main/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
 
 This service is meant to be used with an external [Alertmanager](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/alertmanager/) instance. It's **not** meant to be integrated with the [Prometheus & Grafana stack](./configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md) installed by this playbook, because the Alertmanager component is not installed by it.
 
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Register the bot account
+
+This service uses a bot (with a username specified in `matrix_alertmanager_receiver_config_matrix_user_id_localpart`) for delivering messages.
+

 # Setting up Draupnir for All/D4A (optional)
 
 The playbook can install and configure the [Draupnir](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir) moderation tool for you in appservice mode.
 
 Appservice mode can be used together with the regular [Draupnir bot](configuring-playbook-bot-draupnir.md) or independently. Details about the differences between the 2 modes are described below.

 ## Draupnir Appservice mode compared to Draupnir bot mode
 
 The administrative functions for managing the appservice are alpha quality and very limited. However, the experience of using an appservice-provisioned Draupnir is on par with the experience of using Draupnir from bot mode except in the case of avatar customisation as described later on in this document.

-### 1. Create a main management room.
+The playbook does not create a management room for your Main Draupnir. You **need to create the room manually** before setting up the bot.
 
-The playbook does not create a management room for your Main Draupnir. This task you have to do on your own.

-### 2. Give your main management room an alias.
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
-Give the room from step 1 an alias. This alias can be anything you want and its recommended for increased security during the setup phase of the bot that you make this alias be a random string. You can give your room a secondary human readable alias when it has been locked down after setup phase.
-
-### 3. Adjusting the playbook configuration.
-
-Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
-
-You must replace `ALIAS_FROM_STEP_2_GOES_HERE` with the alias you created in step 2.

Using the chat is recomended.
 
 The bot requires a powerlevel of 50 in the management room to control who is allowed to use the bot. The bot does currently not say anything if this is true or false. (This is considered a bug and is documented in issue [#297](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir/issues/297))
 
-To allow users or whole homeservers you type /plain @draupnir-main:example.com allow `target` and target can be either a MXID or a wildcard like `@*:example.com` to allow all users on example.com to register.

 # Setting up BorgBackup (optional)
 
 The playbook can install and configure [BorgBackup](https://www.borgbackup.org/) (short: Borg) with [borgmatic](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/) for you.
 
 BorgBackup is a deduplicating backup program with optional compression and encryption. That means your daily incremental backups can be stored in a fraction of the space and is safe whether you store it at home or on a cloud service.
 
-You will need a remote server where BorgBackup will store the backups. There are hosted, BorgBackup compatible solutions available, such as [BorgBase](https://www.borgbase.com).
-
-The backup will run based on `backup_borg_schedule` var (systemd timer calendar), default: 4am every day.
-
-By default, if you're using the integrated Postgres database server (as opposed to [an external Postgres server](configuring-playbook-external-postgres.md)), backups with BorgBackup will also include dumps of your Postgres database. An alternative solution for backing up the Postgres database is [postgres backup](configuring-playbook-postgres-backup.md). If you decide to go with another solution, you can disable Postgres-backup support for BorgBackup using the `backup_borg_postgresql_enabled` variable.
-
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. Create a new SSH key:
-
-    ```bash
-    ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N '' -f matrix-borg-backup -C matrix
-    ```
-
-    This can be done on any machine and you don't need to place the key in the `.ssh` folder. It will be added to the Ansible config later.
-
-2. Add the **public** part of this SSH key (the `matrix-borg-backup.pub` file) to your BorgBackup provider/server:
-
-    If you plan to use a hosted solution, follow their instructions. If you have your own server, copy the key over:
-
-    ```bash
-    # example to append the new PUBKEY contents, where:
-    # PUBKEY is path to the public key,
-    # USER is a ssh user on a provider / server
-    # HOST is a ssh host of a provider / server
-    cat PUBKEY | ssh USER@HOST 'dd of=.ssh/authorized_keys oflag=append conv=notrunc'
-    ```
-
-## Adjusting the playbook configuration

-## Installing
-
-After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command:
-
-```
-ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
-```
-
-## Manually start a backup
-
-For testing your setup it can be helpful to not wait until 4am. If you want to run the backup immediately, log onto the server and run `systemctl start matrix-backup-borg`. This will not return until the backup is done, so possibly a long time. Consider using [tmux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmux) if your SSH connection is unstable.

 # Serving the base domain (optional)
 
-This playbook sets up services on your Matrix server (`matrix.example.com`). To have this server officially be responsible for Matrix services for the base domain (`example.com`), you need to set up [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md). This is normally done by [configuring well-known](configuring-well-known.md) files on the base domain.
+By default, this playbook sets up services on your Matrix server (`matrix.example.com`), but has it configured so that it presents itself as the base domain (`example.com`). To have this server officially be responsible for Matrix services for the base domain (`example.com`), you need to set up server delegation / redirection.
 
-People who don't have a separate server to dedicate to the base domain have trouble arranging this.

+
+- Setting up a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file on the base domain (`example.com`)
+- Setting up a `_matrix._tcp` DNS SRV record
+
+For simplicity reasons, this playbook recommends you to set up server delegation via a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file.

 # Setting up Buscarron (optional)
 
 The playbook can install and configure [Buscarron](https://github.com/etkecc/buscarron) for you.
 
 Buscarron is bot that receives HTTP POST submissions of web forms and forwards them to a Matrix room.
 
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/etkecc/buscarron/blob/main/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

+## Adjusting DNS records
+
+By default, this playbook installs Buscarron on the `buscarron.` subdomain (`buscarron.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `buscarron`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.

+If your migrating from [Mjolnir](configuring-playbook-bot-mjolnir.md), skip to [this section](#migrating-from-mjolnir-only-required-if-migrating).
 
-If your migrating from Mjolnir skip to step 5b.
+## Prerequisites
 
-## 1. Register the bot account
+### Create a management room
 
-The playbook does not automatically create users for you. The bot requires an access token to be able to connect to your homeserver.
+Using your own account, create a new invite only room that you will use to manage the bot. This is the room where you will see the status of the bot and where you will send commands to the bot, such as the command to ban a user from another room.
 
-You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot.
+> [!WARNING]
+> Anyone in this room can control the bot so it is important that you only invite trusted users to this room.
 
-Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: `pwgen -s 64 1`.
+It is possible to make the management room encrypted (E2EE). If doing so, then you need to enable the native E2EE support (see [below](#native-e2ee-support)).
 
-You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
+Once you have created the room you need to copy the room ID so you can specify it on your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file. In Element Web you can check the ID by going to the room's settings and clicking "Advanced". The room ID will look something like `!qporfwt:example.com`.
 
-```
-ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.draupnir password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
-```
+## End-to-End Encryption support
 
-If you would like draupnir to be able to deactivate users, move aliases, shutdown rooms, show abuse reports ([see below](#abuse-reports)), etc then it must be a server admin so you need to change `admin=no` to `admin=yes` in the command above.
+Decide whether you want to support having an encrypted management room or not. Draupnir can still protect encrypted rooms without encryption support enabled.
 
+Refer to Draupnir's [documentation](https://the-draupnir-project.github.io/draupnir-documentation/moderator/managing-protected-rooms#protecting-encrypted-rooms) for more details about why you might want to care about encryption support for protected rooms.
 
-## 2. Get an access token
+### Disable Pantalaimon for Draupnir (since v2.0.0; optional)
 
-Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
+It is known that running Draupnir along with Pantalaimon breaks all workflows that involve answering prompts with reactions.
 
+If you are updating Draupnir from v1.x.x and have enabled Pantalaimon for it, you can disable Pantalaimon in favor of the native E2EE support. To disable Pantalaimon, remove the configuration `matrix_bot_draupnir_pantalaimon_use: true` from your `vars.yml` file.
 
-## 3. Make sure the account is free from rate limiting
+**Note**: because the management room is still encrypted, disabling it without enabling the native E2EE support will break the management room.
 
-You will need to prevent Synapse from rate limiting the bot's account. This is not an optional step. If you do not do this step draupnir will crash. This can be done using Synapse's [admin API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#override-ratelimiting-for-users). Please ask for help if you are uncomfortable with these steps or run into issues.
+### Native E2EE support
 
-If your Synapse Admin API is exposed to the internet for some reason like running the Synapse Admin Role [Link](/docs/configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) or running `matrix_synapse_container_labels_public_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled: true` in your playbook config. If your API is not externally exposed you should still be able to on the local host for your synapse run these commands.
+To enable the native E2EE support, you need to obtain an access token for Draupnir and set it on your `vars.yml` file.
 
-The following command works on semi up to date Windows 10 installs and All Windows 11 installations and other systems that ship curl. `curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" -X POST https://matrix.example.com/_synapse/admin/v1/users/@example:example.com/override_ratelimit` Replace `@example:example.com` with the MXID of your Draupnir and example.com with your homeserver domain. You can easily obtain an access token for a homeserver admin account the same way you can obtain an access token for Draupnir itself. If you made Draupnir Admin you can just use the Draupnir token.
+Note that native E2EE requires a clean access token that has not touched E2EE so curl is recommended as a method to obtain it. **The access token obtained via Element Web does not work with it**. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token via curl](obtaining-access-tokens.md#obtain-an-access-token-via-curl).
 
-
-
-## 4. Create a management room
-
-Using your own account, create a new invite only room that you will use to manage the bot. This is the room where you will see the status of the bot and where you will send commands to the bot, such as the command to ban a user from another room. Anyone in this room can control the bot so it is important that you only invite trusted users to this room.
-
-If you make the management room encrypted (E2EE), then you MUST enable and use Pantalaimon (see below).
-
-Once you have created the room you need to copy the room ID so you can tell the bot to use that room. In Element you can do this by going to the room's settings, clicking Advanced, and then copying the internal room ID. The room ID will look something like `!qporfwt:example.com`.
-
-Finally invite the `@bot.draupnir:example.com` account you created earlier into the room.
-
-
-## 5. Adjusting the playbook configuration
-
-Decide whether you want Draupnir to be capable of operating in end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) rooms. This includes the management room and the moderated rooms. To support E2EE, Draupnir needs to [use Pantalaimon](configuring-playbook-pantalaimon.md).
-
-### 5a. Configuration with E2EE support
-
-When using Pantalaimon, Draupnir will log in to its bot account itself through Pantalaimon, so configure its username and password.
-
-Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
+To enable the native E2EE support, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `CLEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE` with the access token you obtained just now.
 
 ```yaml
-# Enable Pantalaimon. See docs/configuring-playbook-pantalaimon.md
-matrix_pantalaimon_enabled: true
+# Enables the native E2EE support
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_experimentalRustCrypto: true
 
+# Access token which the bot will use for logging in.
+# Comment out `matrix_bot_draupnir_login_native` when using this option.
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_accessToken: "CLEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
+```
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `MANAGEMENT_ROOM_ID_HERE` with the one of the room which you have created earlier.
+
+```yaml
 # Enable Draupnir
 matrix_bot_draupnir_enabled: true
 
-# Tell Draupnir to use Pantalaimon
-matrix_bot_draupnir_pantalaimon_use: true
+# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
+# matrix_bot_draupnir_login: bot.draupnir
 
-# User name and password for the bot. Required when using Pantalaimon.
-matrix_bot_draupnir_pantalaimon_username: "DRAUPNIR_USERNAME_FROM_STEP_1"
-matrix_bot_draupnir_pantalaimon_password: ### you should create a secure password for the bot account
+# Generate a strong password for the bot. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
+# If creating the user on your own and using `matrix_bot_draupnir_config_accessToken` to login you can comment out this line.
+matrix_bot_draupnir_password: PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT
 
-matrix_bot_draupnir_management_room: "ROOM_ID_FROM_STEP_4_GOES_HERE"
+# Comment out if using `matrix_bot_draupnir_config_experimentalRustCrypto: true` or `matrix_bot_draupnir_config_accessToken` to login.
+matrix_bot_draupnir_login_native: true
+
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_managementRoom: "MANAGEMENT_ROOM_ID_HERE"
 ```
 
-The playbook's `group_vars` will configure other required settings. If using this role separately without the playbook, you also need to configure the two URLs that Draupnir uses to reach the homeserver, one through Pantalaimon and one "raw". This example is taken from the playbook's `group_vars`:
+### Create and invite the bot to the management room
+
+Before proceeding to the next step, run the playbook with the following command to create the bot user.
+
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created
+```
+
+**Note**: the `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
+
+Then, invite the bot (`@bot.draupnir:example.com`) to its management room which you have created earlier.
+
+### Make sure the account is free from rate limiting (optional, recommended)
+
+If your homeserver's implementation is Synapse, you will need to prevent it from rate limiting the bot's account. **This is a highly recommended step. If you do not configure it, Draupnir performance will be degraded.**
+
+This can be done using Synapse's [Admin APIs](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#override-ratelimiting-for-users). They can be accessed both externally and internally.
+
+**Note**: access to the APIs is restricted with a valid access token, so exposing them publicly should not be a real security concern. Still, doing so is not recommended for additional security. See [official Synapse reverse-proxying recommendations](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/reverse_proxy.html#synapse-administration-endpoints).
+
+The APIs can also be accessed via [Synapse Admin](https://github.com/etkecc/synapse-admin), a web UI tool you can use to administrate users, rooms, media, etc. on your Matrix server. The playbook can install and configure Synapse Admin for you. For details about it, see [this page](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md).
+
+#### Add the configuration
+
+To expose the APIs publicly, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
-# Endpoint URL that Draupnir uses to interact with the Matrix homeserver (client-server API).
-# Set this to the pantalaimon URL if you're using that.
-matrix_bot_draupnir_homeserver_url: "{{ 'http://matrix-pantalaimon:8009' if matrix_bot_draupnir_pantalaimon_use else matrix_addons_homeserver_client_api_url }}"
-
-# Endpoint URL that Draupnir could use to fetch events related to reports (client-server API and /_synapse/),
-# only set this to the public-internet homeserver client API URL, do NOT set this to the pantalaimon URL.
-matrix_bot_draupnir_raw_homeserver_url: "{{ matrix_addons_homeserver_client_api_url }}"
+matrix_synapse_container_labels_public_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled: true
 ```
 
-### 5b. Configuration without E2EE support
+#### Obtain an access token for admin account
 
-When NOT using Pantalaimon, Draupnir does not log in by itself and you must give it an access token for its bot account.
+Manual access to Synapse's Admin APIs requires an access token for a homeserver admin account. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
 
-Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
+> [!WARNING]
+> Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.
 
-You must replace `ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_STEP_2_GOES_HERE` and `ROOM_ID_FROM_STEP_4_GOES_HERE` with the your own values.
+#### Run the `curl` command
+
+To disable rate limiting, run the following command on systems that ship curl. Before running it, make sure to replace:
+
+- `ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE` with the access token of the admin account
+- `example.com` with your base domain
+- `@bot.draupnir:example.com` with the MXID of your Draupnir bot user
+
+```sh
+curl --header "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE" -X POST https://matrix.example.com/_synapse/admin/v1/users/@bot.draupnir:example.com/override_ratelimit
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+- This does not work on outdated Windows 10 as curl is not available there.
+- Even if the APIs are not exposed to the internet, you should still be able to run the command on the homeserver locally.
+
+### Abuse Reports
+
+Draupnir can receive reports in the management room.
+
+The bot can intercept the report API endpoint of the client-server API, which requires integration with the reverse proxy in front of the homeserver. If you are using Traefik, this playbook can set this up for you:
 
 ```yaml
-matrix_bot_draupnir_enabled: true
-
-matrix_bot_draupnir_access_token: "ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_STEP_2_GOES_HERE"
-
-matrix_bot_draupnir_management_room: "ROOM_ID_FROM_STEP_4_GOES_HERE"
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_web_abuseReporting: true
 ```
 
-### 5c. Migrating from Mjolnir (Only required if migrating.)
+<!--
+NOTE: this is unsupported by the playbook due to the admin API being inaccessible from containers currently.
+
+The other method polls an Synapse Admin API endpoint, hence it is available only if using Synapse and if the Draupnir user is an admin (see [above](#register-the-bot-account)). To enable it, set `pollReports: true` on `vars.yml` file as below.
+-->
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bot.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bot-draupnir/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_bot_draupnir_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
+
+For example, to change Draupnir's `acceptInvitesFromSpace` option to `!qporfwt:example.com`, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bot_draupnir_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  # Your custom YAML configuration goes here.
+  # This configuration extends the default starting configuration (`matrix_bot_draupnir_configuration_yaml`).
+  #
+  # 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_bot_draupnir_configuration_yaml`.
+  acceptInvitesFromSpace: "!qporfwt:example.com"
+```
+
+### Migrating from Mjolnir (Only required if migrating)
 
 Replace your `matrix_bot_mjolnir` config with `matrix_bot_draupnir` config. Also disable Mjolnir if you're doing migration.
 
+Note that Draupnir supports E2EE natively, so you can enable it instead of Pantalaimon. It is recommended to consult the instruction [here](#native-e2ee-support).
+
 That is all you need to do due to that Draupnir can complete migration on its own.

+To use the bot, invite it to the room you specified on your `vars.yml` file (`/invite @honoroit:example.com` where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
 
-Send `!ho help` to the room to see the bot's help menu for additional commands.
+After the bot joins the room, any Matrix user can send a message to it to start a new thread in that room.

 # Setting up matrix-registration-bot (optional)
 
 The playbook can install and configure [matrix-registration-bot](https://github.com/moan0s/matrix-registration-bot) for you.
 
 The bot allows you to easily **create and manage registration tokens** aka. invitation codes. It can be used for an invitation-based server, where you invite someone by sending them a registration token (tokens look like this: `rbalQ0zkaDSRQCOp`). They can register as per normal but have to provide a valid registration token in the final step of the registration process.

+If your homeserver's implementation is Synapse, you will need to prevent it from rate limiting the bot's account. **This is a required step. If you do not configure it, Mjolnir will crash.**
 
-You will need to prevent Synapse from rate limiting the bot's account. This is not an optional step. If you do not do this step Mjolnir will crash. This can be done using Synapse's [admin API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#override-ratelimiting-for-users). Please ask for help if you are uncomfortable with these steps or run into issues.
+This can be done using Synapse's [Admin APIs](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#override-ratelimiting-for-users). They can be accessed both externally and internally.
 
-If your Synapse Admin API is exposed to the internet for some reason like running the Synapse Admin Role [Link](/docs/configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) or running `matrix_synapse_container_labels_public_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled: true` in your playbook config. If your API is not externally exposed you should still be able to on the local host for your synapse run these commands.
+**Note**: access to the APIs is restricted with a valid access token, so exposing them publicly should not be a real security concern. Still, doing so is not recommended for additional security. See [official Synapse reverse-proxying recommendations](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/reverse_proxy.html#synapse-administration-endpoints).
 
-The following command works on semi up to date Windows 10 installs and All Windows 11 installations and other systems that ship curl. `curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" -X POST https://matrix.example.com/_synapse/admin/v1/users/@example:example.com/override_ratelimit` Replace `@example:example.com` with the MXID of your Mjolnir and example.com with your homeserver domain. You can easily obtain an access token for a homeserver admin account the same way you can obtain an access token for Mjolnir itself. If you made Mjolnir Admin you can just use the Mjolnir token.
+The APIs can also be accessed via [Synapse Admin](https://github.com/etkecc/synapse-admin), a web UI tool you can use to administrate users, rooms, media, etc. on your Matrix server. The playbook can install and configure Synapse Admin for you. For details about it, see [this page](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md).
 
-## 4. Create a management room
+#### Add the configuration
 
-Using your own account, create a new invite only room that you will use to manage the bot. This is the room where you will see the status of the bot and where you will send commands to the bot, such as the command to ban a user from another room. Anyone in this room can control the bot so it is important that you only invite trusted users to this room.
+To expose the APIs publicly, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
-If you make the management room encrypted (E2EE), then you MUST enable and use Pantalaimon (see below).
+```yaml
+matrix_synapse_container_labels_public_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled: true
+```
 
-Once you have created the room you need to copy the room ID so you can tell the bot to use that room. In Element you can do this by going to the room's settings, clicking Advanced, and then copying the internal room ID. The room ID will look something like `!qporfwt:example.com`.
+#### Obtain an access token for admin account
+
+Manual access to Synapse's Admin APIs requires an access token for a homeserver admin account. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md). If you have made Mjolnir an admin, you can just use the Mjolnir token.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.
+
+#### Run the `curl` command
+
+To disable rate limiting, run the following command on systems that ship curl. Before running it, make sure to replace:
+
+- `ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE` with the access token of the admin account
+- `example.com` with your base domain
+- `@bot.mjolnir:example.com` with the MXID of your Mjolnir bot user
+
+```sh
+curl --header "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE" -X POST https://matrix.example.com/_synapse/admin/v1/users/@bot.mjolnir:example.com/override_ratelimit
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+- This does not work on outdated Windows 10 as curl is not available there.
+- Even if the APIs are not exposed to the internet, you should still be able to run the command on the homeserver locally.
+
+### Create a management room
+
+Using your own account, create a new invite only room that you will use to manage the bot. This is the room where you will see the status of the bot and where you will send commands to the bot, such as the command to ban a user from another room.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Anyone in this room can control the bot so it is important that you only invite trusted users to this room.
+
+It is possible to make the management room encrypted (E2EE). If doing so, then you MUST enable and use Pantalaimon (see [below](#configuration-with-e2ee-support)).
+
+Once you have created the room you need to copy the room ID so you can specify it on your `vars.yml` file. In Element Web you can check the ID by going to the room's settings and clicking "Advanced". The room ID will look something like `!qporfwt:example.com`.
 
 Finally invite the `@bot.mjolnir:example.com` account you created earlier into the room.
 
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
-## 5. Adjusting the playbook configuration
+To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `MANAGEMENT_ROOM_ID_HERE` with the one of the room which you have created just now.
 
-Decide whether you want Mjolnir to be capable of operating in end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) rooms. This includes the management room and the moderated rooms. To support E2EE, Mjolnir needs to [use Pantalaimon](configuring-playbook-pantalaimon.md).
+```yaml

+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
+
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+  `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.
+
+- If you change the Pantalaimon's password (`matrix_bot_mjolnir_pantalaimon_password` in your `vars.yml` file) subsequently, its credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically. If you'd like to change the password, use a tool like [synapse-admin](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) to change it, and then update `matrix_bot_mjolnir_pantalaimon_password` to let Pantalaimon know its new password.
+
+## Usage
+
+You can refer to the upstream [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir) for additional ways to use and configure Mjolnir. Check out their [quickstart guide](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir#quickstart-guide) for some basic commands you can give to the bot.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-bot-mjolnir`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `INFO`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG

-
-- send the access token to the bot. Example: `login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`
-
-- make sure you don't log out the `Appservice-Kakaotalk` device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature

 # Setting up Appservice Slack bridging (optional)
 
 **Notes**:
 - Bridging to [Slack](https://slack.com) can also happen via the [mx-puppet-slack](configuring-playbook-bridge-mx-puppet-slack.md) and [mautrix-slack](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-slack.md) bridges supported by the playbook.
-- Currently (as of November, 2024) this component is not available for new installation unless you have already created a classic Slack application (which the bridge makes use of in order to enable bridging between Slack and Matrix), because the creation of classic Slack applications has been discontinued since June 4 2024. The author of the bridge claims [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-slack/issues/789#issuecomment-2172947787) that he plans to support the modern Slack application and until then "the best (and only) option for new installations is to use the webhook bridging".
+- Currently (as of November, 2024) **this component is not available for new installation unless you have already created a classic Slack application** (which the bridge makes use of in order to enable bridging between Slack and Matrix), because the creation of classic Slack applications has been discontinued since June 4 2024.

 The playbook can install and configure [matrix-appservice-slack](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-slack) for you.
 
 See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-slack/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
 
-## Setup Instructions:
+## Prerequisites
 
-loosely based on [this](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-slack#Setup)
+### Create a Classic Slack App
 
-1. Create a new Matrix room to act as the administration control room. Note its internal room ID. This can be done in Element by sending a message, opening the options for that message and choosing "view source". The room ID will be displayed near the top.
+First, you need to create a Classic Slack App [here](https://api.slack.com/apps?new_classic_app=1).
 
-2. Enable the bridge by adding the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+Name the app "matrixbot" (or anything else you'll remember). Select the team/workspace this app will belong to. Click on bot users and add a new bot user. We will use this account to bridge the the rooms.
 
-    ```yaml
-    matrix_appservice_slack_enabled: true
-    matrix_appservice_slack_control_room_id: "Your Matrix admin room ID"
-    ```
+Then, click on Event Subscriptions and enable them and use the request url: `https://matrix.example.com/appservice-slack`.
 
-3. Enable puppeting (optional, but recommended)
+Add the following events as `Bot User Events` and save:
 
-    ```yaml
-    matrix_appservice_slack_puppeting_enabled: true
-    matrix_appservice_slack_puppeting_slackapp_client_id: "Your Classic Slack App Client ID"
-    matrix_appservice_slack_puppeting_slackapp_client_secret: "Your Classic Slack App Client Secret"
-    ```
+- team_domain_change
+- message.channels
+- message.groups (if you want to bridge private channels)
+- reaction_added
+- reaction_removed
 
-4. Enable Team Sync (optional)
+Next, click on "OAuth & Permissions" and add the following scopes:
 
-    ```yaml
-    matrix_appservice_slack_team_sync_enabled: true
-    ```
+- chat:write:bot
+- users:read
+- reactions:write
+- files:write:user (if you want to bridge files)
 
-    See https://matrix-appservice-slack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/team_sync/
+**Note**: In order to make Slack files visible to Matrix users, this bridge will make Slack files visible to anyone with the url (including files in private channels). This is different than the current behavior in Slack, which only allows authenticated access to media posted in private channels. See MSC701 for details.
 
-5. If you've already installed Matrix services using the playbook before, you'll need to re-run it (`--tags=setup-all,start`). If not, proceed with [configuring other playbook services](configuring-playbook.md) and then with [Installing](installing.md). Get back to this guide once ready.
+Click on "Install App" and "Install App to Workspace". Note the access tokens shown. You will need the Bot User OAuth Access Token and if you want to bridge files, the OAuth Access Token whenever you link a room.
 
-6. Invite the bridge bot user into the admin room:
+### Create an administration control room on Matrix
+
+Create a new Matrix room to act as the administration control room.
+
+Note its internal room ID. This can be done in Element Web by sending a message, opening the options for that message and choosing "view source". The room ID will be displayed near the top.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_appservice_slack_enabled: true
+matrix_appservice_slack_control_room_id: "Your Matrix admin room ID"
+
+# Uncomment to enable puppeting (optional, but recommended)
+# matrix_appservice_slack_puppeting_enabled: true
+# matrix_appservice_slack_puppeting_slackapp_client_id: "Your Classic Slack App Client ID"
+# matrix_appservice_slack_puppeting_slackapp_client_secret: "Your Classic Slack App Client Secret"
+
+# Uncomment to enable Team Sync (optional)
+# See https://matrix-appservice-slack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/team_sync/
+# matrix_appservice_slack_team_sync_enabled: true
+```
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-appservice-slack/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-appservice-slack/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_appservice_slack_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
+
+For example, to change the bot's username from `slackbot`, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file. Replace `examplebot` with your own.
+
+```yaml
+matrix_appservice_slack_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  bot_username: "examplebot"
+```
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
+
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+
+  `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.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, you need to send `/invite @slackbot:example.com` to invite the bridge bot user into the admin room.
+
+If Team Sync is not enabled, for each channel you would like to bridge, perform the following steps:
+
+- Create a Matrix room in the usual manner for your client. Take a note of its Matrix room ID — it will look something like `!qporfwt:example.com`.
+- Invite the bot user to both the Slack and Matrix channels you would like to bridge using `/invite @matrixbot` for Slack and `/invite @slackbot:example.com` for Matrix.
+- Determine the "channel ID" that Slack uses to identify the channel. You can see it when you open a given Slack channel in a browser. The URL reads like this: `https://app.slack.com/client/XXX/<the channel ID>/details/`.
+- Issue a link command in the administration control room with these collected values as arguments:
+
+    with file bridging:
 
     ```
-    /invite @slackbot:example.com
+    link --channel_id CHANNELID --room !qporfwt:example.com --slack_bot_token xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --slack_user_token xoxp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
     ```
 
-    Note that the bot's domain is your server's domain **without the `matrix.` prefix.**
-
-7. Create a Classic Slack App [here](https://api.slack.com/apps?new_classic_app=1).
-
-    Name the app "matrixbot" (or anything else you'll remember).
-
-    Select the team/workspace this app will belong to.
-
-    Click on bot users and add a new bot user. We will use this account to bridge the the rooms.
-
-8. Click on Event Subscriptions and enable them and use the request url `https://matrix.example.com/appservice-slack`. Then add the following events and save:
-
-     Bot User Events:
-
-    - team_domain_change
-    - message.channels
-    - message.groups (if you want to bridge private channels)
-    - reaction_added
-    - reaction_removed
-
-9. Click on OAuth & Permissions and add the following scopes:
-
-    - chat:write:bot
-    - users:read
-    - reactions:write
-
-    If you want to bridge files, also add the following:
-
-    - files:write:user
-
-    **Note**: In order to make Slack files visible to Matrix users, this bridge will make Slack files visible to anyone with the url (including files in private channels). This is different than the current behavior in Slack, which only allows authenticated access to media posted in private channels. See MSC701 for details.
-
-10. Click on Install App and Install App to Workspace. Note the access tokens shown. You will need the Bot User OAuth Access Token and if you want to bridge files, the OAuth Access Token whenever you link a room.
-
-11. If Team Sync is not enabled, for each channel you would like to bridge, perform the following steps:
-
-    * Create a Matrix room in the usual manner for your client. Take a note of its Matrix room ID - it will look something like !qporfwt:example.com.
-
-    * Invite the bot user to both the Slack and Matrix channels you would like to bridge using `/invite @matrixbot` for Slack and `/invite @slackbot:example.com` for Matrix.
-
-    * Determine the "channel ID" that Slack uses to identify the channel. You can see it when you open a given Slack channel in a browser. The URL reads like this: `https://app.slack.com/client/XXX/<the channel ID>/details/`.
-
-    * Issue a link command in the administration control room with these collected values as arguments:
-
-        with file bridging:
-
-        ```
-        link --channel_id CHANNELID --room !qporfwt:example.com --slack_bot_token xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --slack_user_token xoxp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
-        ```
-
-        without file bridging:
-
-        ```
-        link --channel_id CHANNELID --room !qporfwt:example.com --slack_bot_token xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-        ```
-
-        These arguments can be shortened to single-letter forms:
-
-        ```
-        link -I CHANNELID -R !qporfwt:example.com -t xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-        ```
-
-        Other configuration options are available via the `matrix_appservice_slack_configuration_extension_yaml` variable.
-
-12. Unlinking
-
-    Channels can be unlinked again like this:
+    without file bridging:
 
     ```
-    unlink --room !qporfwt:example.com
+    link --channel_id CHANNELID --room !qporfwt:example.com --slack_bot_token xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
     ```
 
-    Unlinking doesn't only disconnect the bridge, but also makes the slackbot leave the bridged Matrix room. So in case you want to re-link later, don't forget to re-invite the slackbot into this room again.
+    These arguments can be shortened to single-letter forms:
+
+    ```
+    link -I CHANNELID -R !qporfwt:example.com -t xoxb-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+    ```
+
+### Unlinking
+
+Channels can be unlinked again by sending this:
+
+```
+unlink --room !qporfwt:example.com
+```
+
+Unlinking doesn't only disconnect the bridge, but also makes the slackbot leave the bridged Matrix room. So in case you want to re-link later, don't forget to re-invite the slackbot into this room again.
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-* As always, check the logs: `journalctl -fu matrix-appservice-slack`
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-appservice-slack`.
 
-* Linking: "Room is now pending-name"
+### Linking: "Room is now pending-name"

Consider using that bridge instead of this one.
 
 The playbook can install and configure [matrix-appservice-webhooks](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-appservice-webhooks) for you. This bridge provides support for Slack-compatible webhooks.
 
-Setup Instructions:
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-appservice-webhooks/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
 
-loosely based on [this](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-appservice-webhooks/blob/master/README.md)
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
-1. All you basically need is to adjust your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml`:
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
-    ```yaml
-    matrix_appservice_webhooks_enabled: true
-    matrix_appservice_webhooks_api_secret: '<your_secret>'
-    ```
+```yaml
+matrix_appservice_webhooks_enabled: true
+matrix_appservice_webhooks_api_secret: '<your_secret>'
 
-2. In case you want to change the verbosity of logging via `journalctl -fu matrix-appservice-webhooks.service` you can adjust this in `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` as well.
+# As of Synapse 1.90.0, uncomment to enable the backwards compatibility (https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrade#upgrading-to-v1900) that this bridge needs.
+# Note: This deprecated method is considered insecure.
+#
+# matrix_synapse_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+#   use_appservice_legacy_authorization: true
+```
 
-    **Note**: default value is: `info` and availabe log levels are : `info`, `verbose`
+### Extending the configuration
 
-    ```yaml
-    matrix_appservice_webhooks_log_level: '<log_level>'
-    ```
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
 
-3. As of Synapse 1.90.0, you will need to add the following to `matrix_synapse_configuration_extension_yaml` to enable the [backwards compatibility](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrade#upgrading-to-v1900) that this bridge needs:
+Take a look at:
 
-    ```yaml
-    matrix_synapse_configuration_extension_yaml: |
-      use_appservice_legacy_authorization: true
-    ```
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-appservice-webhooks/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-appservice-webhooks/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_appservice_webhooks_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
 
-    **Note**: This deprecated method is considered insecure.
+## Installing
 
-4. If you've already installed Matrix services using the playbook before, you'll need to re-run it (`--tags=setup-all,start`). If not, proceed with [configuring other playbook services](configuring-playbook.md) and then with [Installing](installing.md). Get back to this guide once ready.
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
 
-5. If you're using the [Dimension integration manager](configuring-playbook-dimension.md), you can configure the Webhooks bridge by opening the Dimension integration manager -> Settings -> Bridges and selecting edit action for "Webhook Bridge". Press "Add self-hosted Bridge" button and populate "Provisioning URL"  & "Shared Secret" values from `/matrix/appservice-webhooks/config/config.yaml` file's homeserver URL value and provisioning secret value, respectively.
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
+```
 
-6. Invite the bridge bot user to your room:
+**Notes**:
 
-    - either with `/invite @_webhook:example.com` (**Note**: Make sure you have administration permissions in your room)
+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
 
-    - or simply add the bridge bot to a private channel (personal channels imply you being an administrator)
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
 
-7. Send a message to the bridge bot in order to receive a private message including the webhook link.
+  `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.
 
-    ```
-    !webhook
-    ```
+## Usage
 
-8. The JSON body for posting messages will have to look like this:
+To use the bridge, you need to invite the bridge bot user to your room in either way.
 
-    ```json
-    {
-        "text": "Hello world!",
-        "format": "plain",
-        "displayName": "My Cool Webhook",
-        "avatar_url": "http://i.imgur.com/IDOBtEJ.png"
-    }
-    ```
+- Send `/invite @_webhook:example.com` (**Note**: Make sure you have administration permissions in your room)
+- Add the bridge bot to a private channel (personal channels imply you being an administrator)
 
-    You can test this via curl like so:
+You then need to send a message to the bridge bot to receive a private message including the webhook link:
 
-    ```sh
-    curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
-    --data '{
+```
+!webhook
+```
+
+The JSON body for posting messages will have to look like this:
+
+```json
+{
     "text": "Hello world!",
     "format": "plain",

-    <the link you've gotten in 5.>
-    ```
+}
+```
+
+You can test this via curl like so:
+
+```sh
+curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
+--data '{
+"text": "Hello world!",
+"format": "plain",
+"displayName": "My Cool Webhook",
+"avatar_url": "http://i.imgur.com/IDOBtEJ.png"
+}' \
+<the webhook link you've gotten from the bridge bot>
+```
+
+### Setting Webhooks with Dimension integration manager
+
+If you're using the [Dimension integration manager](configuring-playbook-dimension.md), you can configure the Webhooks bridge with it.
+
+To configure it, open the Dimension integration manager, and go to "Settings" and "Bridges", then select edit action for "Webhook Bridge".
+
+On the UI, press "Add self-hosted Bridge" button and populate "Provisioning URL"  and "Shared Secret" values from `/matrix/appservice-webhooks/config/config.yaml` file's homeserver URL value and provisioning secret value, respectively.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-appservice-webhooks`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `info`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: info, verbose
+matrix_appservice_webhooks_log_level: 'verbose'

+
+If you want to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) or [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) service for this playbook.

+**Note**: when following the guide to configure the bridge, make sure to replace `_mautrix_SERVICENAME_` in the variable names with `_beeper_linkedin_`.
 
 ## Installing
 
-After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
 
-## Set up Double Puppeting by enabling Appservice Double Puppet or Shared Secret Auth

+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start

-The bridge will automatically perform Double Puppeting if you enable the [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service or the [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) service for this playbook.
+**Notes**:
 
-Enabling [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
 
-Enabling double puppeting by enabling the [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) service works at the time of writing, but is deprecated and will stop working in the future.
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
 
+  `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.
 
 ## Usage
 
-You then need to start a chat with `@linkedinbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
-
-Send `login YOUR_LINKEDIN_EMAIL_ADDRESS` to the bridge bot to enable bridging for your LinkedIn account.
-
-If you run into trouble, check the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section below.
-
-After successfully enabling bridging, you may wish to [set up Double Puppeting](#set-up-double-puppeting), if you haven't already done so.

+
 ### Bridge asking for 2FA even if you don't have 2FA enabled
 
 If you don't have 2FA enabled and are logging in from a strange IP for the first time, LinkedIn will send an email with a one-time code. You can use this code to authorize the bridge session. In my experience, once the IP is authorized, you will not be asked again.

 The playbook can install and configure [matrix-hookshot](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-hookshot) for you.
 
-Hookshot can bridge [Webhooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook) from software project management services such as GitHub, GitLab, JIRA, and Figma, as well as generic webhooks.

+See the project's [documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/latest/hookshot.html) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
 
 **Note**: the playbook also supports [matrix-appservice-webhooks](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-webhooks.md), which however was deprecated by its author.
 
+## Prerequisites
 
-## Setup Instructions
+### Download GitHub app private key (optional)
 
-Refer to the [official instructions](https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/latest/setup.html) to learn what the individual options do.
+If you're setting up the GitHub bridge, you need to create your GitHub app, and generate a private key file of it.
 
-1. Enable the bridge by adding `matrix_hookshot_enabled: true` to your `vars.yml` file
-2. For each of the services (GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Figma, generic webhooks) fill in the respective variables `matrix_hookshot_service_*` listed in [main.yml](/roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml) as required.
-3. Take special note of the `matrix_hookshot_*_enabled` variables. Services that need no further configuration are enabled by default (GitLab, Generic), while you must first add the required configuration and enable the others (GitHub, Jira, Figma).
-4. If you're setting up the GitHub bridge, you'll need to generate and download a private key file after you created your GitHub app. Copy the contents of that file to the variable `matrix_hookshot_github_private_key` so the playbook can install it for you, or use one of the [other methods](#manage-github-private-key-with-aux-role) explained below.
-5. If you've already installed Matrix services using the playbook before, you'll need to re-run it (`--tags=setup-all,start`). If not, proceed with [configuring other playbook services](configuring-playbook.md) and then with [Installing](installing.md). Get back to this guide once ready. Hookshot can be set up individually using the tag `setup-hookshot`.
+You need to download the private key file, if you will install the file manually or with the `aux` role. For details, see [the section below](#manage-github-private-key-with-aux-role).
 
-Other configuration options are available via the `matrix_hookshot_configuration_extension_yaml` and `matrix_hookshot_registration_extension_yaml` variables, see the comments in [main.yml](/roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml) for how to use them.
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
-Finally, run the playbook (see [installing](installing.md)).
+Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE` with the one created [above](#download-github-app-private-key).
 
-### End-to-bridge encryption
+```yaml
+matrix_hookshot_enabled: true
 
-You can enable [experimental encryption](https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/latest/advanced/encryption.html) for Hookshot by adding `matrix_hookshot_experimental_encryption_enabled: true` to your configuration (`vars.yml`) and [executing the playbook](installing.md) again.
+# Uncomment to enable end-to-bridge encryption.
+# See: https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/latest/advanced/encryption.html
+# matrix_hookshot_experimental_encryption_enabled: true
 
-Should the crypto store be corrupted, you can reset it by executing this Ansible playbook with the tag `reset-hookshot-encryption` added, for example `ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml -K --tags=reset-hookshot-encryption`.
+# Uncomment and paste the contents of GitHub app private key to enable GitHub bridge.
+# Alternatively, you can use one of the other methods explained below on the "Manage GitHub Private Key with aux role" section.
+# matrix_hookshot_github_private_key: "GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE"
+```
+
+For each of the services (GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Figma, and generic webhooks) fill in the respective variables `matrix_hookshot_service_*` listed in [main.yml](../roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml) as required.
+
+Take special note of the `matrix_hookshot_*_enabled` variables. Services that need no further configuration are enabled by default (GitLab and generic webhooks), while you must first add the required configuration and enable the others (GitHub, Jira, and Figma).
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_hookshot_configuration_extension_yaml` and `matrix_hookshot_registration_extension_yaml` variables
+
+Refer the [official instructions](https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/latest/setup.html) and the comments in [main.yml](../roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml) to learn what the individual options do.

+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```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-service hookshot` or `just setup-all`
+
+`just install-service hookshot` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly 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. Note `just setup-all` runs the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
 
 ## Usage
 
-Create a room and invite the Hookshot bot (`@hookshot:example.com`) to it.
+To use the bridge, you need to create a room and invite the Hookshot bot (`@hookshot:example.com`) to it.
 
 Make sure the bot is able to send state events (usually the Moderator power level in clients).
 
-Send a `!hookshot help` message to see a list of help commands.
+Send `!hookshot help` to the bot to see the available commands.

 ### Provisioning API
 
-The provisioning API will be enabled automatically if you set `matrix_dimension_enabled: true` and provided a `matrix_hookshot_provisioning_secret`, unless you override it either way. To use hookshot with dimension, you will need to enter as "Provisioning URL": `http://matrix-hookshot:9002`, which is made up of the variables `matrix_hookshot_container_url` and `matrix_hookshot_provisioning_port`.
-
-### Metrics
-
-Metrics are **only enabled by default** if the builtin [Prometheus](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md) is enabled (by default, Prometheus isn't enabled). If so, metrics will automatically be collected by Prometheus and made available in Grafana. You will, however, need to set up your own Dashboard for displaying them.
-
-To explicitly enable metrics, use `matrix_hookshot_metrics_enabled: true`. This only exposes metrics over the container network, however.
-
-**To collect metrics from an external Prometheus server**, besides enabling metrics as described above, you will also need to enable metrics exposure on `https://matrix.example.com/metrics/hookshot` by:
-
-- either enabling metrics exposure for Hookshot via `matrix_hookshot_metrics_proxying_enabled: true`
-- or enabling metrics exposure for all services via `matrix_metrics_exposure_enabled: true`
-
-Whichever one you go with, by default metrics are exposed publicly **without** password-protection. See [the Prometheus and Grafana docs](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md) for details about password-protection for metrics.
+The provisioning API will be enabled automatically if you set `matrix_dimension_enabled: true` and provided a `matrix_hookshot_provisioning_secret`, unless you override it either way. To use hookshot with Dimension, you will need to enter as "Provisioning URL": `http://matrix-hookshot:9002`, which is made up of the variables `matrix_hookshot_container_url` and `matrix_hookshot_provisioning_port`.
 
 ### Collision with matrix-appservice-webhooks
 
 If you are also running [matrix-appservice-webhooks](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-webhooks.md), it reserves its namespace by the default setting `matrix_appservice_webhooks_user_prefix: '_webhook_'`. You should take care if you modify its or hookshot's prefix that they do not collide with each other's namespace (default `matrix_hookshot_generic_userIdPrefix: '_webhooks_'`).
+
+### Enable metrics
+
+The playbook can enable and configure the metrics of the service for you.
+
+Metrics are **only enabled by default** if the builtin [Prometheus](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md) is enabled (by default, Prometheus isn't enabled). If so, metrics will automatically be collected by Prometheus and made available in Grafana. You will, however, need to set up your own Dashboard for displaying them.
+
+To enable the metrics, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Expose metrics (locally, on the container network).
+matrix_hookshot_metrics_enabled: true
+```
+
+**To collect metrics from an external Prometheus server**, besides enabling metrics as described above, you will also need to enable metrics exposure on `https://matrix.example.com/metrics/hookshot` by adding the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_hookshot_metrics_proxying_enabled: true
+```
+
+By default metrics are exposed publicly **without** password-protection. To password-protect the metrics with dedicated credentials, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_hookshot_container_labels_metrics_middleware_basic_auth_enabled: true
+matrix_hookshot_container_labels_metrics_middleware_basic_auth_users: ''
+```
+
+To `matrix_hookshot_container_labels_metrics_middleware_basic_auth_users`, set the Basic Authentication credentials (raw `htpasswd` file content) used to protect the endpoint. See https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/middlewares/http/basicauth/#users for details about it.
+
+**Note**: alternatively, you can use `matrix_metrics_exposure_enabled` to expose all services on this `/metrics/*` feature, and you can use `matrix_metrics_exposure_http_basic_auth_enabled` and `matrix_metrics_exposure_http_basic_auth_users` to password-protect the metrics of them. See [this section](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md#collecting-metrics-to-an-external-prometheus-server) for more information.
+
+#### Enable Grafana (optional)
+
+Probably you wish to enable Grafana along with Prometheus for generating graphs of the metics.
+
+To enable Grafana, see [this section](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md#adjusting-the-playbook-configuration-grafana) for instructions.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-hookshot`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `warn`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: error, warn, info, debug
+matrix_hookshot_logging_level: debug
+```

+# Setting up a Generic Mautrix Bridge (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure various [mautrix](https://github.com/mautrix) bridges (twitter, discord, signal, googlechat, etc.), as well as many other (non-mautrix) bridges. This is a common guide for configuring mautrix bridges.
+
+The author of the bridges maintains [the official docs](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/index.html), whose source code is available at [mautrix/docs](https://github.com/mautrix/docs) repository on GitHub. You may as well to refer it while configuring them.
+
+You can see each bridge's features on the `ROADMAP.md` file in its corresponding mautrix repository.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Replace SERVICENAME with one of: twitter, discord, signal, googlechat, etc.
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_enabled: true
+```
+
+**Note**: for bridging to Meta's Messenger or Instagram, you would need to add `meta` with an underscore symbol (`_`) or hyphen (`-`) based on the context as prefix to each `SERVICENAME`; add `_` to variables (as in `matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_configuration_extension_yaml` for example) and `-` to paths of the configuration files (as in `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-meta-messenger/templates/config.yaml.j2`), respectively. **`matrix_mautrix_facebook_*` and `matrix_mautrix_instagram_*` variables belong to the deprecated components and do not control the new bridge** ([mautrix-meta](https://github.com/mautrix/meta)), which can be [installed using this playbook](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-meta-messenger.md).
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge before you continue. Each bridge may have additional requirements besides `_enabled: true`. For example, the mautrix-telegram bridge (our documentation page about it is [here](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-telegram.md)) requires the `matrix_mautrix_telegram_api_id` and `matrix_mautrix_telegram_api_hash` variables to be defined. Refer to each bridge's individual documentation page for details about enabling bridges.
+
+### Configure bridge permissions (optional)
+
+By default any user on your homeserver will be able to use the mautrix bridges. To limit who can use them you would need to configure their permissions settings.
+
+Different levels of permission can be granted to users. For example, to **configure a user as an administrator for all bridges**, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_admin: "@alice:{{ matrix_domain }}"
+```
+
+If you don't define the `matrix_admin` in your configuration (e.g. `matrix_admin: @alice:example.com`), then there's no admin by default.
+
+**Alternatively** (more verbose, but allows multiple admins to be configured), you can do the same on a per-bridge basis with:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  bridge:
+    permissions:
+      '@alice:{{ matrix_domain }}': admin
+```
+
+This will add the admin permission to the specific user, while keeping the default permissions.
+
+You could also redefine the default permissions settings completely, rather than adding extra permissions. You may wish to look at `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-SERVICENAME/templates/config.yaml.j2` to find information on the permission settings and other options you would like to configure.
+
+### Enable encryption (optional)
+
+[Encryption (End-to-Bridge Encryption, E2BE) support](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/end-to-bridge-encryption.html) is off by default. If you would like to enable encryption, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+**for all bridges with encryption support**:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bridges_encryption_enabled: true
+matrix_bridges_encryption_default: true
+```
+
+**Alternatively**, for a specific bridge:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_bridge_encryption_enabled: true
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_bridge_encryption_default: true
+```
+
+### Enable relay mode (optional)
+
+[Relay mode](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/relay-mode.html) is off by default. Check [the table on the official documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/relay-mode.html#support-table) for bridges which support relay mode.
+
+If you would like to enable it, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+**for all bridges with relay mode support**:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_bridges_relay_enabled: true
+```
+
+**Alternatively**, for a specific bridge:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  bridge:
+    relay:
+      enabled: true
+```
+
+You can only have one `matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml` definition in `vars.yml` per bridge, so if you need multiple pieces of configuration there, just merge them like this:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  bridge:
+    relay:
+      enabled: true
+    permissions:
+      '@alice:{{ matrix_domain }}': admin
+    encryption:
+      allow: true
+      default: true
+```
+
+If you want to activate the relaybot in a room, send `!prefix set-relay` in the rooms where you want to use the bot (replace `!prefix` with the appropriate command prefix for the bridge, like `!signal` or `!wa`). To deactivate, send `!prefix unset-relay`.
+
+Use `!prefix set-pl 100` to be able for the bot to modify room settings and invite others.
+
+#### Allow anyone on the homeserver to become a relay user (optional)
+
+By default, only admins are allowed to set themselves as relay users. To allow anyone on your homeserver to set themselves as relay users, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_bridge_relay_admin_only: false
+```
+
+### Set the bot's username (optional)
+
+To set the bot's username, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_appservice_bot_username: "BOTNAME"
+```
+
+### Configure the logging level (optional)
+
+To specify the logging level, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_logging_level: warn
+```
+
+Replace `warn` with one of the following to control the verbosity of the logs generated: `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error` or `fatal`.
+
+If you have issues with a service, and are requesting support, the higher levels of logging (those that appear earlier in the list, like `trace`) will generally be more helpful.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-SERVICENAME/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-SERVICENAME/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml` variable

+  `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.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@SERVICENAMEbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+For details about the next steps, refer to each bridge's individual documentation page.
+
+Send `help` to the bot to see the available commands.
+
+If you run into trouble, check the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section below.
+
+### Set up Double Puppeting (optional)
+
+After successfully enabling bridging, you may wish to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do).
+
+To set it up, you have 2 ways of going about it.
+
+#### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Appservice Double Puppet (recommended)
+
+To set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html), you could enable the [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service for this playbook.
+
+Appservice Double Puppet is a homeserver appservice through which bridges (and potentially other services) can impersonate any user on the homeserver.
+
+To enable the Appservice Double Puppet service, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_appservice_double_puppet_enabled: true
+```
+
+When enabled, double puppeting will automatically be enabled for all bridges that support double puppeting via the appservice method.
+
+This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- Previously there were multiple different automatic double puppeting methods like one with the help of the [Shared Secret Auth password provider module](./configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md), but they have been superseded by this Appservice Double Puppet method. Double puppeting with the Shared Secret Auth works at the time of writing, but is deprecated and will stop working in the future as the older methods were completely removed in the megabridge rewrites on [the upstream project](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html#automatically).
+
+<!-- TODO: remove this note if the Shared Secret Auth service has stopped working or the bridges have been removed -->
+- Some bridges like [the deprecated Facebook mautrix bridge](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-facebook.md) and [matrix-appservice-kakaotalk](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-kakaotalk.md), which is partially based on the Facebook bridge, are compatible with the Shared Secret Auth service only. These bridges automatically perform Double Puppeting if [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) service is configured and enabled on the server for this playbook.
+
+#### Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token
+
+When using this method, **each user** that wishes to enable Double Puppeting needs to follow the following steps:
+
+- retrieve a Matrix access token for yourself. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain one](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
+
+- send the access token to the bot. Example: `login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`
+
+- make sure you don't log out the session for which you obtained an access token some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+For troubleshooting information with a specific bridge, please see the playbook documentation about it (some other document in in `docs/`) and the upstream ([mautrix](https://github.com/mautrix)) bridge documentation for that specific bridge.
+
+If the bridge's bot doesn't accept the invite to a chat, refer [the official troubleshooting page](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/troubleshooting.html) as well.
+
+If you found bugs in mautrix bridges, they should be reported to the upstream project, in the corresponding mautrix repository, not to us.

 **Note**: bridging to [Discord](https://discordapp.com/) can also happen via the [mx-puppet-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-mx-puppet-discord.md) and [matrix-appservice-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-discord.md) bridges supported by the playbook.
 - For using as a Bot we recommend the [Appservice Discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-discord.md), because it supports plumbing.
 - For personal use with a discord account we recommend the `mautrix-discord` bridge (the one being discussed here), because it is the most fully-featured and stable of the 3 Discord bridges supported by the playbook.

 ## Prerequisites
 
 There are 2 ways to login to discord using this bridge, either by [scanning a QR code](#method-1-login-using-qr-code-recommended) using the Discord mobile app **or** by using a [Discord token](#method-2-login-using-discord-token-not-recommended).
 
 If this is a dealbreaker for you, consider using one of the other Discord bridges supported by the playbook: [mx-puppet-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-mx-puppet-discord.md) or [matrix-appservice-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-discord.md). These come with their own complexity and limitations, however, so we recommend that you proceed with this one if possible.

 ## Usage
 
-### Logging in
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@discordbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
 
-#### Method 1: Login using QR code (recommended)
+You can then follow instructions on the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/discord/authentication.html).
 
-For using this bridge, you would need to authenticate by **scanning a QR code** with the Discord app on your phone.
+After logging in, the bridge will create portal rooms for some recent direct messages.
 
-You can delete the Discord app after the authentication process.
+### Bridge guilds
 
-#### Method 2: Login using Discord token (not recommended)
+If you'd like to bridge guilds, send `guilds status` to see the list of guilds, then send `guilds bridge GUILD_ID_HERE` for each guild that you'd like bridged. Make sure to replace `GUILD_ID_HERE` with the guild's ID.
 
-To acquire the token, open Discord in a private browser window. Then open the developer settings (keyboard shortcut might be "ctrl+shift+i" or by pressing "F12"). Navigate to the "Network" tab then reload the page. In the URL filter or search bar type "/api" and find the response with the file name of "library". Under the request headers you should find a variable called "Authorization", this is the token to your Discord account. After copying the token, you can close the browser window.
+After bridging, spaces will be created automatically, and rooms will be created if necessary when messages are received. You can also pass `--entire` to the bridge command to immediately create all rooms.
 
-### Bridging
+If you want to manually bridge channels, invite the bot to the room you want to bridge, and run `!discord bridge CHANNEL_ID_HERE` to bridge the room. Make sure to replace `CHANNEL_ID_HERE` with the channel's ID.
 
-1. Start a chat with `@discordbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
-2. If you would like to login to Discord using a token, send `login-token` command, otherwise, send `login-qr` command.
-3. You'll see a QR code which you need to scan with the Discord app on your phone. You can scan it with the camera app too, which will open Discord, which will then instruct you to scan it a 2nd time in the Discord app.
-4. After confirming (in the Discord app) that you'd like to allow this login, the bot should respond with "Succcessfully authenticated as ..."
-5. Now that you're logged in, you can send a `help` command to the bot again, to see additional commands you have access to
-6. Some Direct Messages from Discord should start syncing automatically
-7. If you'd like to bridge guilds:
-    - send `guilds status` to see the list of guilds
-    - for each guild that you'd like bridged, send `guilds bridge GUILD_ID --entire`
-8. You may wish to uninstall the Discord app from your phone now. It's not needed for the bridge to function.
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-mautrix-discord`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `warn`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace
+matrix_mautrix_discord_logging_level: 'debug'

 Since this bridge component can bridge to both [Messenger](https://messenger.com/) and [Instagram](https://instagram.com/) and you may wish to do both at the same time, the playbook makes it available via 2 different Ansible roles (`matrix-bridge-mautrix-meta-messenger` and `matrix-bridge-mautrix-meta-instagram`). The latter is a reconfigured copy of the first one (created by `just rebuild-mautrix-meta-instagram` and `bin/rebuild-mautrix-meta-instagram.sh`).

 - both trying to bridge the same DMs
 
-To do so, send a `clean-rooms` command to the management room with the old bridge bot (`@instagrambot:example.com`).

 # Setting up Messenger bridging via Mautrix Meta (optional)
 
+<sup>Refer the common guide for configuring mautrix bridges: [Setting up a Generic Mautrix Bridge](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md)</sup>
+
 The playbook can install and configure the [mautrix-meta](https://github.com/mautrix/meta) Messenger/Instagram bridge for you.
 
+See the project's [documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/meta/index.html) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
 Since this bridge component can bridge to both [Messenger](https://messenger.com/) and [Instagram](https://instagram.com/) and you may wish to do both at the same time, the playbook makes it available via 2 different Ansible roles (`matrix-bridge-mautrix-meta-messenger` and `matrix-bridge-mautrix-meta-instagram`). The latter is a reconfigured copy of the first one (created by `just rebuild-mautrix-meta-instagram` and `bin/rebuild-mautrix-meta-instagram.sh`).
 
 This documentation page only deals with the bridge's ability to bridge to Facebook Messenger. For bridging to Instagram, see [Setting up Instagram bridging via Mautrix Meta](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-meta-instagram.md).
 
+## Prerequisites
 
-## Migrating from the old mautrix-facebook bridge
+### Migrating from the old mautrix-facebook bridge
 
 If you've been using the [mautrix-facebook](./configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-facebook.md) bridge, it's possible to migrate the database using [instructions from the bridge documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/meta/facebook-migration.html) (advanced).
 
-Then you may wish to get rid of the Facebook bridge. To do so, send a `clean-rooms` command to the management room with the old bridge bot (`@facebookbot:example.com`).
-
-This would give you a list of portals and groups of portals you may purge. Proceed with sending commands like `clean recommended`, etc.

It gives you a list of portals and groups of portals you may purge. Proceed with sending commands like `clean recommended`, etc.
 
 Then, consider disabling the old bridge in your configuration, so it won't recreate the portals when you receive new messages.
 
+**Note**: the user ID of the new bridge bot is `@messengerbot:example.com`, not `@facebookbot:example.com`. After disabling the old bridge, its bot user will stop responding to a command.
+
+### Enable Appservice Double Puppet (optional)
+
+If you want to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service for this playbook.
+
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-up-double-puppeting-optional) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about setting up Double Puppeting.

 ## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
 To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:

 The bridge can pull your Messenger messages via 3 different methods:
 
 - (`facebook`) Facebook via `facebook.com`
-- (`facebook-tor`) Facebook via `facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion` ([Tor](https://www.torproject.org/)) - does not currently proxy media downloads
-- (default) (`messenger`) Messenger via `messenger.com` - usable even without a Facebook account
+- (`facebook-tor`) Facebook via `facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion` ([Tor](https://www.torproject.org/)) — does not currently proxy media downloads
+- (default) (`messenger`) Messenger via `messenger.com` — usable even without a Facebook account
 
 You may switch the mode via the `matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_meta_mode` variable. The playbook defaults to the `messenger` mode, because it's most universal (every Facebook user has a Messenger account, but the opposite is not true).
 
 Note that switching the mode (especially between `facebook*` and `messenger`) will intentionally make the bridge use another database (`matrix_mautrix_meta_facebook` or `matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger`) to isolate the 2 instances. Switching between Tor and non-Tor may be possible without dataloss, but your mileage may vary. Before switching to a new mode, you may wish to de-configure the old one (send `help` to the bridge bot and unbridge your portals, etc.).
 
+### Extending the configuration
 
-### Bridge permissions
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
 
-By default, any user on your homeserver will be able to use the bridge.
-
-Different levels of permission can be granted to users:
-
-- `relay` - Allowed to be relayed through the bridge, no access to commands
-- `user` - Use the bridge with puppeting
-- `admin` - Use and administer the bridge
-
-The permissions are following the sequence: nothing < `relay` < `user` < `admin`.
-
-The default permissions are set via `matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_bridge_permissions_default` and are somewhat like this:
-```yaml
-matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_bridge_permissions_default:
-  '*': relay
-  example.com: user
-  '{{ matrix_admin }}': admin
-```
-
-If you don't define the `matrix_admin` in your configuration (e.g. `matrix_admin: @user:example.com`), then there's no admin by default.
-
-You may redefine `matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_bridge_permissions_default` any way you see fit, or add extra permissions using `matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_bridge_permissions_custom` like this:
-
-```yaml
-matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_bridge_permissions_custom:
-  '@YOUR_USERNAME:example.com': admin
-```
-
-You may wish to look at `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-meta-messenger/templates/config.yaml.j2` to find more information on the permissions settings and other options you would like to configure.
+See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#extending-the-configuration) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about variables that you can customize and the bridge's default configuration, including [bridge permissions](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#configure-bridge-permissions-optional), [encryption support](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-encryption-optional), [relay mode](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-relay-mode-optional), [bot's username](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-the-bots-username-optional), etc.
 
 ## Installing
 
-After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
 
-## Set up Double Puppeting
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```sh

-If you'd like to use [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do), you have 2 ways of going about it.
+**Notes**:

-
-Enabling [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
-
-### Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token
-
-**Note**: This method for enabling Double Puppeting can be configured only after you've already set up bridging (see [Usage](#usage)).

-
-- send the access token to the bot. Example: `login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`
-

 ## Usage
 
-1. Start a chat with `@slackbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
-2. If you would like to login to Slack using a token, send the `login-token` command, otherwise, send the `login-password` command. Read [here](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/slack/authentication.html) on how to retrieve your token and cookie token.
-3. The bot should respond with "Successfully logged into <email> for team <workspace>"
-4. Now that you're logged in, you can send a `help` command to the bot again, to see additional commands you have access to.
-5. Slack channels should automatically begin bridging if you authenticated using a token. Otherwise, you must wait to receive a message in the channel if you used password authentication.
+To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@slackbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
+
+You can then follow instructions on the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/slack/authentication.html).
+
+If you authenticated using a token, the recent chats will be bridged automatically (depending on the `conversation_count` setting). Otherwise (i.e. logging with the Discord application), the chats the bot is in will be bridged automatically.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-mautrix-slack`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `warn`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
+
+```yaml
+# Valid values: fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace

+## Adjusting DNS records
+
+By default, this playbook installs wsproxy on the `wsproxy.` subdomain (`wsproxy.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `wsproxy`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
+
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.

+- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
+
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`

+
+💡 **Note**: the latest version of Element Web is also available on the web, hosted by 3rd parties.

+
+## Adjusting DNS records
+

+
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+### Set the country code for phone number inputs
+
+You can change the country code (default: `GB`) to use when showing phone number inputs. To change it to `FR` for example, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:

+
+### Themes
+

+#### Use themes by `element-themes`
+
+You can change the look of Element Web by pulling themes provided by the [aaronraimist/element-themes](https://github.com/aaronraimist/element-themes) project or defining your own themes manually.
+
+To pull the themes and use them for your Element Web instance, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:

+```
+
+If the variable is set to `true`, all themes found in the repository specified with `matrix_client_element_themes_repository_url` will be installed and enabled automatically.
+
+Note that for a custom theme to work well, all Element Web instances that you use must have the same theme installed.
+
+#### Define themes manually
+
+You can also define your own themes manually by adding and adjusting the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Controls the `setting_defaults.custom_themes` setting of the Element Web configuration.

+If you make your own theme, we encourage you to submit it to the **aaronraimist/element-themes** project, so that the whole community could easily enjoy it.
+
+### Adjusting the Element Web URL (optional)
+
+By tweaking the `matrix_client_element_hostname` and `matrix_client_element_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Switch to the domain used for Matrix services (`matrix.example.com`),
+# so we won't need to add additional DNS records for Element Web.
+matrix_client_element_hostname: "{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}"
+
+# Expose under the /element subpath
+matrix_client_element_path_prefix: /element
+```
+
+After changing the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Element domain to the Matrix server.
+
+If you've decided to reuse the `matrix.` domain, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the component.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-client-element/templates/config.json.j2` for the component's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_client_element_configuration_extension_json` variable
+
+For example, to override some Element Web settings, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+ # Your custom JSON configuration for Element Web should go to `matrix_client_element_configuration_extension_json`.
+ # This configuration extends the default starting configuration (`matrix_client_element_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_element_configuration_default`.
+ #
+matrix_client_element_configuration_extension_json: |
+ {
+ "disable_3pid_login": true,
+ "disable_login_language_selector": true
+ }
+```
+
+## Disabling Element Web
+
+If you'd like for the playbook to not install Element Web (or to uninstall it if it was previously installed), add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_client_element_enabled: false
+```
+
+## 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:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```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`
+
+`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. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-client-element`.

-# Configuring Element (optional)
-
-By default, this playbook installs the [Element](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web) Matrix web client for you. If that's okay, you can skip this document.
-
-
-## Disabling Element
-
-If you'd like for the playbook to not install Element (or to uninstall it if it was previously installed), add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
-
-```yaml
-matrix_client_element_enabled: false
-```
-
-
-## Adjusting the playbook configuration
-
-The playbook provides some customization variables you could use to change Element's settings.
-
-Their defaults are defined in [`roles/custom/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml`](../roles/custom/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml) and they ultimately end up in the generated `/matrix/element/config.json` file (on the server). This file is generated from the [`roles/custom/matrix-client-element/templates/config.json.j2`](../roles/custom/matrix-client-element/templates/config.json.j2) template.
-
-**If there's an existing variable** which controls a setting you wish to change, you can simply define that variable in your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml`) and [re-run the playbook](installing.md) to apply the changes.
-
-Alternatively, **if there is no pre-defined variable** for an Element setting you wish to change:
-
-- you can either **request a variable to be created** (or you can submit such a contribution yourself). Keep in mind that it's **probably not a good idea** to create variables for each one of Element's various settings that rarely get used.
-
-- or, you can **extend and override the default configuration** ([`config.json.j2`](../roles/custom/matrix-client-element/templates/config.json.j2)) by making use of the `matrix_client_element_configuration_extension_json_` variable. You can find information about this in [`roles/custom/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml`](../roles/custom/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml).
-
-- or, if extending the configuration is still not powerful enough for your needs, you can **override the configuration completely** using `matrix_client_element_configuration_default` (or `matrix_client_element_configuration`). You can find information about this in [`roles/custom/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml`](../roles/custom/matrix-client-element/defaults/main.yml).
-
-
-### Themes
-
-To change the look of Element, you can define your own themes manually by using the `matrix_client_element_setting_defaults_custom_themes` setting.
-
-Or better yet, you can automatically pull it all themes provided by the [aaronraimist/element-themes](https://github.com/aaronraimist/element-themes) project by simply flipping a flag (`matrix_client_element_themes_enabled: true`).
-
-If you make your own theme, we encourage you to submit it to the **aaronraimist/element-themes** project, so that the whole community could easily enjoy it.
-
-Note that for a custom theme to work well, all Element instances that you use must have the same theme installed.
-
-### Adjusting the Element URL
-
-By default, this playbook installs Element on the `element.` subdomain (`element.example.com`) and requires you to [adjust your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records).

-```
-
-## Adjusting DNS records
-
-Once you've decided on the domain and path, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Element domain to the Matrix server.
-
-By default, you will need to create a CNAME record for `element`. See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md) for details about DNS changes.

-## Adjusting DNS records
-
-Once you've decided on the domain and path, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the SchildiChat domain to the Matrix server.
-
-By default, you will need to create a CNAME record for `schildichat`. See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md) for details about DNS changes.
-
-If you've decided to reuse the `matrix.` domain, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.
-
-## Installing
-
-After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the [installation](installing.md) command: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`

 ```yaml
 matrix_homeserver_implementation: conduit
 ```
 
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the server.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-conduit/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-conduit/templates/conduit.toml.j2` for the server's default configuration
+
+If you'd like to have your own different configuration, feel free to copy and paste the original files into your inventory (e.g. in `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/`) and then change the specific host's `vars.yml` file like this:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_conduit_template_conduit_config: "{{ playbook_dir }}/inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/conduit.toml.j2"
+```
+
 ## Creating the first user account
 
 Since it is difficult to create the first user account on Conduit (see [famedly/conduit#276](https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/issues/276) and [famedly/conduit#354](https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/merge_requests/354)) and it does not support [registering users](registering-users.md) (via the command line or via the playbook) like Synapse and Dendrite do, we recommend the following procedure:
 
 1. Add `matrix_conduit_allow_registration: true` to your `vars.yml` the first time around, temporarily
-2. Run the playbook (`ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start` - see [Installing](installing.md))
-3. Create your first user via Element or any other client which supports creating users
+2. Run the playbook (`ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start` — see [Installing](installing.md))
+3. Create your first user via Element Web or any other client which supports creating users
 4. Get rid of `matrix_conduit_allow_registration: true` from your `vars.yml`
 5. Run the playbook again (`ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-conduit,start` would be enough this time)
 6. You can now use your server safely. Additional users can be created by messaging the internal Conduit bot

 ## Configuring bridges / appservices
 
-Automatic appservice setup is currently unsupported when using Conduit. After setting up the service as usual you may notice that it is unable to start.
+For other homeserver implementations (like Synapse and Dendrite), the playbook automatically registers appservices (for bridges, bots, etc.) with the homeserver.
 
-You will have to manually register appservices using the the [register-appservice](https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/blob/next/APPSERVICES.md) command.
+For Conduit, you will have to manually register appservices using the the [register-appservice](https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/blob/next/APPSERVICES.md) command.

+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To use conduwuit, you **generally** need to adjust the `matrix_homeserver_implementation: synapse` configuration on your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file as below:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_homeserver_implementation: conduwuit
+
+# Registering users can only happen via the API,
+# so it makes sense to enable it, at least initially.
+matrix_conduwuit_config_allow_registration: true
+
+# Generate a strong registration token to protect the registration endpoint from abuse.
+# You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
+matrix_conduwuit_config_registration_token: ''
+```
+
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the server.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-conduwuit/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+- `roles/custom/matrix-conduwuit/templates/conduwuit.toml.j2` for the server's default configuration
+
+There are various Ansible variables that control settings in the `conduwuit.toml` file.
+
+If a specific setting you'd like to change does not have a dedicated Ansible variable, you can either submit a PR to us to add it, or you can [override the setting using an environment variable](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/configuration.html#environment-variables) using `matrix_conduwuit_environment_variables_extension`. For example:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_conduwuit_environment_variables_extension: |
+  CONDUWUIT_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE=50000000
+  CONDUWUIT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT=60
+```
+
+## Creating the first user account
+
+Unlike other homeserver implementations (like Synapse and Dendrite), conduwuit does not support creating users via the command line or via the playbook.
+
+If you followed the instructions above (see [Adjusting the playbook configuration](#adjusting-the-playbook-configuration)), you should have registration enabled and protected by a registration token.
+
+This should allow you to create the first user account via any client (like [Element Web](./configuring-playbook-client-element-web.md)) which supports creating users.
+
+The **first user account that you create will be marked as an admin** and **will be automatically invited to an admin room**.
+
+
+## Configuring bridges / appservices
+
+For other homeserver implementations (like Synapse and Dendrite), the playbook automatically registers appservices (for bridges, bots, etc.) with the homeserver.
+
+For conduwuit, you will have to manually register appservices using the [`!admin appservices register` command](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/appservices.html#set-up-the-appservice---general-instructions) sent to the server bot account.
+
+The server's bot account has a Matrix ID of `@conduit:example.com` (not `@conduwuit:example.com`!) due to conduwuit's historical legacy.
+Your first user account would already have been invited to an admin room with this bot.
+
+Find the appservice file you'd like to register. This can be any `registration.yaml` file found in the `/matrix` directory, for example `/matrix/mautrix-signal/bridge/registration.yaml`.
+
+Then, send its content to the existing admin room:
+
+    !admin appservices register
+
+    ```
+    as_token: <token>
+    de.sorunome.msc2409.push_ephemeral: true
+    hs_token: <token>
+    id: signal
+    namespaces:
+      aliases:
+      - exclusive: true
+        regex: ^#signal_.+:example\.org$
+      users:
+      - exclusive: true
+        regex: ^@signal_.+:example\.org$
+      - exclusive: true
+        regex: ^@signalbot:example\.org$
+    rate_limited: false
+    sender_localpart: _bot_signalbot
+    url: http://matrix-mautrix-signal:29328
+    ```

 ```yaml
 matrix_homeserver_implementation: dendrite
 ```
 
-The playbook provides lots of customization variables you could use to change Dendrite's settings.
+### Extending the configuration
 
-Their defaults are defined in [`roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/defaults/main.yml`](../roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/defaults/main.yml) and they ultimately end up in the generated `/matrix/dendrite/config/dendrite.yaml` file (on the server). This file is generated from the [`roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/templates/dendrite/dendrite.yaml.j2`](../roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/templates/dendrite/dendrite.yaml.j2) template.
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the server.
 
-**If there's an existing variable** which controls a setting you wish to change, you can simply define that variable in your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml`) and [re-run the playbook](installing.md) to apply the changes.
+Take a look at:
 
-Alternatively, **if there is no pre-defined variable** for a Dendrite setting you wish to change:
-
-- you can either **request a variable to be created** (or you can submit such a contribution yourself). Keep in mind that it's **probably not a good idea** to create variables for each one of Dendrite's various settings that rarely get used.
-
-- or, you can **extend and override the default configuration** ([`dendrite.yaml.j2`](../roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/templates/dendrite/dendrite.yaml.j2)) by making use of the `matrix_dendrite_configuration_extension_yaml` variable. You can find information about this in [`roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/defaults/main.yml`](../roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/defaults/main.yml).
-
-- or, if extending the configuration is still not powerful enough for your needs, you can **override the configuration completely** using `matrix_dendrite_configuration` (or `matrix_dendrite_configuration_yaml`).

+- `roles/custom/matrix-dendrite/templates/dendrite.yaml.j2` for the server's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_dendrite_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
 
+For example, to override some Dendrite settings, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
 
+```yaml
+matrix_dendrite_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  # Your custom YAML configuration for Dendrite goes here.
+  # This configuration extends the default starting configuration (`matrix_dendrite_configuration_yaml`).
+  #
+  # 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_dendrite_configuration_yaml`.
+  #
+  # Example configuration extension follows:
+  #
+  server_notices:
+    system_mxid_localpart: notices
+    system_mxid_display_name: "Server Notices"
+    system_mxid_avatar_url: "mxc://example.com/oumMVlgDnLYFaPVkExemNVVZ"
+    room_name: "Server Notices"
+```
 
 ## Installing
 
-After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```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`
+
+`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. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-dendrite`.
+
+### Increase logging verbosity
+
+The default logging level for this component is `warning`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:

+
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-dimension/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Open Matrix Federation port
+
+Enabling the Dimension service will automatically reconfigure your Synapse homeserver to expose the `openid` API endpoints on the Matrix Federation port (usually `8448`), even if [federation](configuring-playbook-federation.md) is disabled. If you enable the component, make sure that the port is accessible.
+
+### Install Matrix services
+
+Dimension can only be installed after Matrix services are installed and running. If you're just installing Matrix services for the first time, please continue with the [Configuration](configuring-playbook.md) / [Installation](installing.md) and come back here later.
+
+### Register a dedicated Matrix user (optional, recommended)
+
+We recommend that you create a dedicated Matrix user for Dimension (`dimension` is a good username).
+
+Generate a strong password for the user. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
+
+You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
+
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=dimension password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_USER admin=no' --tags=register-user
+```
+
+### Obtain an access token
+
+Dimension requires an access token to be able to connect to your homeserver. Refer to the documentation on [how to obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.
+
+## Adjusting DNS records
+
+By default, this playbook installs Dimension on the `dimension.` subdomain (`dimension.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `dimension`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
+
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
 
 ## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
-To enable Dimension, add this to your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml`):
+To enable Dimension, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file. Make sure to replace `ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE` with the one created [above](#obtain-an-access-token).
 
 ```yaml
 matrix_dimension_enabled: true
+
+matrix_dimension_access_token: "ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
 ```
 
 ### Define admin users
 
-These users can modify the integrations this Dimension supports. Add this to your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml`):
+To define admin users who can modify the integrations this Dimension supports, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:

-  - "@user2:{{ matrix_domain }}"
+  - "@alice:{{ matrix_domain }}"
+  - "@bob:{{ matrix_domain }}"
 ```
 
-The admin interface is accessible within Element by accessing it in any room and clicking the cog wheel/settings icon in the top right. Currently, Dimension can be opened in Element by the "Add widgets, bridges, & bots" link in the room information.
+The admin interface is accessible within Element Web by accessing it in any room and clicking the cog wheel/settings icon in the top right. Currently, Dimension can be opened in Element Web by the "Add widgets, bridges, & bots" link in the room information.
 
-### Access token
-
-We recommend that you create a dedicated Matrix user for Dimension (`dimension` is a good username). Follow our [Registering users](registering-users.md) guide to learn how to register **a regular (non-admin) user**.
-
-You are required to specify an access token (belonging to this new user) for Dimension to work. To get an access token for the Dimension user, you can follow the documentation on [how to do obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
-
-**Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.**
-
-Add access token to your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml`):
-
-```yaml
-matrix_dimension_access_token: "YOUR ACCESS TOKEN HERE"
-```
-
-For more information on how to acquire an access token, visit [https://t2bot.io/docs/access_tokens](https://t2bot.io/docs/access_tokens).

-### Adjusting the Dimension URL
-
-By default, this playbook installs Dimension on the `dimension.` subdomain (`dimension.example.com`) and requires you to [adjust your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records).
+### Adjusting the Dimension URL (optional)
 
 By tweaking the `matrix_dimension_hostname` and `matrix_dimension_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
 
-Example additional configuration for your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:

-**Note**: While there is a `matrix_dimension_path_prefix` variable for changing the path where Dimension is served, overriding it is not possible due to [this Dimension issue](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-dimension/issues/510). You must serve Dimension at a dedicated subdomain.
+After changing the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Dimension domain to the Matrix server.
 
-## Adjusting DNS records
+If you've decided to reuse the `matrix.` domain, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.
 
-Once you've decided on the domain and path, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Dimension domain to the Matrix server.

-After Dimension has been installed you may need to log out and log back in for it to pick up the new integration manager. Then you can access integrations in Element by opening a room, clicking the Room info button (`i`) button in the top right corner of the screen, and then clicking Add widgets, bridges & bots.
+**Notes**:
 
+- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
 
-## Jitsi domain
+  `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. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
 
-By default Dimension will use [jitsi.riot.im](https://jitsi.riot.im/) as the `conferenceDomain` of [Jitsi](https://jitsi.org/) audio/video conference widgets. For users running [a self-hosted Jitsi instance](./configuring-playbook-jitsi.md), you will likely want the widget to use your own Jitsi instance. Currently there is no way to configure this via the playbook, see [this issue](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-dimension/issues/345) for details.
+## Usage
 
-In the interim until the above limitation is resolved, an admin user needs to configure the domain via the admin ui once dimension is running. In Element, go to *Manage Integrations* &rightarrow; *Settings* &rightarrow; *Widgets* &rightarrow; *Jitsi Conference Settings* and set *Jitsi Domain* and *Jitsi Script URL* appropriately.
+After Dimension has been installed you may need to log out and log back in for it to pick up the new integration manager.

 # Setting up Dynamic DNS (optional)
 
-## Setup
+The playbook can configure Dynamic DNS with [ddclient⁠](https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient) for you. It is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on Dynamic DNS Network Service Provider.
 
 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).
+## Prerequisite
 
-After you've gotten the proper credentials you can add the following config to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml`:
+You'll need to get a username and password from your DNS provider. Please consult with the provider about how to retrieve them.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+To enable dynamic DNS, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
 matrix_dynamic_dns_enabled: true
 
 matrix_dynamic_dns_domain_configurations:
-  - provider: domains.google.com
+  - provider: example.net
     protocol: dyndn2
-    username: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-    password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+    username: YOUR_USERNAME_HERE
+    password: YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE
     domain: "{{ matrix_domain }}"
 ```
 
+### Extending the configuration
+
+There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the component.
+
+Take a look at:
+
+- `roles/custom/matrix-dynamic-dns/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```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`
+
+`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.

+# Setting up Element Call (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure [Element Call](https://github.com/element-hq/element-call) for you.
+
+Element Call is a native Matrix video conferencing application developed by [Element](https://element.io), designed for secure, scalable, privacy-respecting, and decentralized video and voice calls over the Matrix protocol. Built on MatrixRTC ([MSC4143](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4143)), it utilizes [MSC4195](https://github.com/hughns/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/hughns/matrixrtc-livekit/proposals/4195-matrixrtc-livekit.md) with [LiveKit Server](configuring-playbook-livekit-server.md) as its backend.
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/element-hq/element-call) to learn more.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A [Synapse](configuring-playbook-synapse.md) homeserver (see the warning below)
+- [Federation](configuring-playbook-federation.md) being enabled for your Matrix homeserver (federation is enabled by default, unless you've explicitly disabled it), because [LiveKit JWT Service](configuring-playbook-livekit-jwt-service.md) currently [requires it](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/3562#issuecomment-2725250554) ([relevant source code](https://github.com/element-hq/lk-jwt-service/blob/f5f5374c4bdcc00a4fb13d27c0b28e20e4c62334/main.go#L135-L146))
+- Various experimental features for the Synapse homeserver which Element Call [requires](https://github.com/element-hq/element-call/blob/93ae2aed9841e0b066d515c56bd4c122d2b591b2/docs/self-hosting.md#a-matrix-homeserver) (automatically done when Element Call is enabled)
+- A [LiveKit Server](configuring-playbook-livekit-server.md) (automatically installed when Element Call is enabled)
+- The [LiveKit JWT Service](configuring-playbook-livekit-jwt-service.md) (automatically installed when Element Call is enabled)
+- A client compatible with Element Call. As of 2025-03-15, that's just [Element Web](configuring-playbook-client-element-web.md) and the Element X mobile clients (iOS and Android).
+
+> [!WARNING]
+>  Because Element Call [requires](https://github.com/element-hq/element-call/blob/93ae2aed9841e0b066d515c56bd4c122d2b591b2/docs/self-hosting.md#a-matrix-homeserver) a few experimental features in the Matrix protocol, it's **very likely that it only works with the Synapse homeserver**.
+
+## Decide on a domain and path
+
+By default, Element Call is configured to be served on the `call.element.example.com` domain.
+
+If you'd like to run Element Call on another hostname, see the [Adjusting the Element Call URL](#adjusting-the-element-call-url-optional) section below.
+
+## Adjusting DNS records
+
+By default, this playbook installs Element Call on the `call.element.` subdomain (`call.element.example.com`) and requires you to create a `CNAME` record for `call.element`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
+
+When setting these values, replace `example.com` with your own.
+
+All dependency services for Element Call ([LiveKit Server](configuring-playbook-livekit-server.md) and [Livekit JWT Service](configuring-playbook-livekit-jwt-service.md)) are installed and configured automatically by the playbook. By default, these services are installed on subpaths on the `matrix.` domain (e.g. `/livekit-server`, `/livekit-jwt-service`), so no DNS record adjustments are required for them.
+
+## Adjusting firewall rules
+
+In addition to the HTTP/HTTPS ports (which you've already exposed as per the [prerequisites](prerequisites.md) document), you'll also need to open ports required by [LiveKit Server](configuring-playbook-livekit-server.md) as described in its own [Adjusting firewall rules](configuring-playbook-livekit-server.md#adjusting-firewall-rules) section.
+
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
+
+Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_element_call_enabled: true
+```
+
+### Adjusting the Element Call URL (optional)
+
+By tweaking the `matrix_element_call_hostname` variable, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname** than the default one.
+
+Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_element_call_hostname: element-call.example.com
+```
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> A `matrix_element_call_path_prefix` variable is also available and mean to let you configure a path prefix for the Element Call service, but [Element Call does not support running under a sub-path yet](https://github.com/element-hq/element-call/issues/3084).
+
+## Installing
+
+After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records) and [adjusting firewall rules](#adjusting-firewall-rules), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
+
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```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`
+
+`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. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## Usage
+
+Once installed, Element Call integrates seamlessly with Matrix clients like [Element Web](configuring-playbook-client-element-web.md) and Element X on mobile (iOS and Android).

 # Adjusting email-sending settings (optional)
 
-By default, this playbook sets up an [Exim](https://www.exim.org/) email server through which all Matrix services send emails.
+By default, this playbook sets up an [Exim](https://www.exim.org/) relay SMTP mailer service (powered by [exim-relay](https://github.com/devture/exim-relay) and the [ansible-role-exim-relay](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-exim-relay) Ansible role), through which all Matrix services send emails.
 
-The email server would attempt to deliver emails directly to their final destination. This may or may not work, depending on your domain configuration (SPF settings, etc.)
-
-By default, emails are sent from `matrix@matrix.example.com`, as specified by the `exim_relay_sender_address` playbook variable.
-
-⚠ **Warning**: On some cloud providers (Google Cloud, etc.), [port 25 is always blocked](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/sending-mail/), so sending email directly from your server is not possible. You will need to [relay email through another SMTP server](#relaying-email-through-another-smtp-server).
-
-💡 To improve deliverability, we recommend [relaying email through another SMTP server](#relaying-email-through-another-smtp-server) anyway.
+**With the default setting, exim-relay attempts to deliver emails directly with the address `matrix@matrix.example.com`**, as specified by the `exim_relay_sender_address` playbook variable. See below if you want to configure the playbook to relay email through another SMTP server.
 
+The [Ansible role for exim-relay](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-exim-relay) is developed and maintained by [the MASH (mother-of-all-self-hosting) project](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting). For details about configuring exim-relay, you can check them via:
+- 🌐 [the role's documentation at the MASH project](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-exim-relay/blob/main/docs/configuring-exim-relay.md) online
+- 📁 `roles/galaxy/exim_relay/docs/configuring-exim-relay.md` locally, if you have [fetched the Ansible roles](installing.md#update-ansible-roles)
 
 ## Firewall settings
 
-No matter whether you send email directly (the default) or you relay email through another host (see how below), you'll probably need to allow outgoing traffic for TCP ports 25/587 (depending on configuration).
+No matter whether you send email directly (the default) or you relay email through another host, you'll probably need to allow outgoing traffic for TCP ports 25/587 (depending on configuration).
 
+Docker automatically opens these ports in the server's firewall, so you likely don't need to do anything. If you use another firewall in front of the server, you may need to adjust it.
 
-## Relaying email through another SMTP server
+## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
-If you'd like to relay email through another SMTP server, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
+### Enable DKIM authentication to improve deliverability (optional)
+
+By default, exim-relay attempts to deliver emails directly. This may or may not work, depending on your domain configuration.
+
+To improve email deliverability, you can configure authentication methods such as DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), SPF, and DMARC for your domain. Without setting any of these authentication methods, your outgoing email is most likely to be quarantined as spam at recipient's mail servers.
+
+For details about configuring DKIM, refer [this section](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-exim-relay/blob/main/docs/configuring-exim-relay.md#enable-dkim-support-optional) on the role's documentation.
+
+💡 If you cannot enable DKIM, SPF, or DMARC on your domain for some reason, we recommend relaying email through another SMTP server.
+
+### Relaying email through another SMTP server (optional)
+
+**On some cloud providers such as Google Cloud, [port 25 is always blocked](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/sending-mail/), so sending email directly from your server is not possible.** In this case, you will need to relay email through another SMTP server.
+
+For details about configuration, refer [this section](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-exim-relay/blob/main/docs/configuring-exim-relay.md#relaying-email-through-another-smtp-server) on the role's document.
+
+### Disable mail service (optional)
+
+For a low-power server you might probably want to disable exim-relay. To do so, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
 
 ```yaml
-exim_relay_sender_address: "another.sender@example.com"
-exim_relay_relay_use: true
-exim_relay_relay_host_name: "mail.example.com"
-exim_relay_relay_host_port: 587
-exim_relay_relay_auth: true
-exim_relay_relay_auth_username: "another.sender@example.com"
-exim_relay_relay_auth_password: "some-password"
+exim_relay_enabled: false
 ```
 
-**Note**: only the secure submission protocol (using `STARTTLS`, usually on port `587`) is supported. **SMTPS** (encrypted SMTP, usually on port `465`) **is not supported**.
+Note that disabling exim-relay will stop email-notifications and other similar functions from working.
 
+See [this entry on the FAQ](faq.md#how-do-i-optimize-this-setup-for-a-low-power-server) for other possible optimizations for a low-power server.
 
-### Configuations for sending emails using Sendgrid
-An easy and free SMTP service to set up is [Sendgrid](https://sendgrid.com/), the free tier allows for up to 100 emails per day to be sent. In the settings below you can provide any email for `exim_relay_sender_address`.
+## Installing
 
-The only other thing you need to change is the `exim_relay_relay_auth_password`, which you can generate at https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/api_keys. The API key password looks something like `SG.955oW1mLSfwds7i9Yd6IA5Q.q8GTaB8q9kGDzasegdG6u95fQ-6zkdwrPP8bOeuI`.
+After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
 
-Note that the `exim_relay_relay_auth_username` is literally the string `apikey`, it's always the same for Sendgrid.
-
-```yaml
-exim_relay_sender_address: "arbitrary@email.com"
-exim_relay_relay_use: true
-exim_relay_relay_host_name: "smtp.sendgrid.net"
-exim_relay_relay_host_port: 587
-exim_relay_relay_auth: true
-exim_relay_relay_auth_username: "apikey"
-exim_relay_relay_auth_password: "<your api key password>"
+<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
+```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`
+
+`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. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-If you're having trouble with email not being delivered, it may be useful to inspect the mailer logs: `journalctl -f -u matrix-exim-relay`.
+See [this section](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-exim-relay/blob/main/docs/configuring-exim-relay.md#troubleshooting) on the role's documentation for details.
