+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.

 # 2023
 
 2023 was a year filled with many changes for matrix-docker-ansible-deploy. In this post, we're looking backward at some of the major changes that happened this year, as well as taking a glimpse of what's ahead in 2024.
 
 2023 is probably [the year of AI](https://journal.everypixel.com/2023-the-year-of-ai), with millions of people jumping aboard [OpenAI](https://openai.com/)'s [ChatGPT](https://openai.com/chatgpt) train. matrix-docker-ansible-deploy is no stranger to this and 2023 began with a PR from [bertybuttface](https://github.com/bertybuttface) who added support for [matrix-chatgpt-bot](https://github.com/matrixgpt/matrix-chatgpt-bot) (see the [changelog entry](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#chatgpt-support)). While OpenAI's chat GPT website was frequently overloaded in the past, their API was up which made using this bot both convenient and more reliable.
 
-AI aside, with the playbook's focus being containers, we're **doubling down on being "container native"** and becoming more interoperable for people hosting other containers on the Matrix server. In [2022](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/YEAR-IN-REVIEW.md#2022), we've announced a few sibling Ansible playbooks, their use of [Traefik](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/) and the possiblity of matrix-docker-ansible-deploy also switching to this reverse-proxy. This prediction materialized quickly. The **largest change** in the playbook in 2023 happened way back in February - matrix-docker-ansible-deploy [starting the switch from nginx to Traefik](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#backward-compatibility-reverse-proxy-configuration-changes-and-initial-traefik-support) and then quickly [making Treafik the default reverse-proxy](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#traefik-is-the-default-reverse-proxy-now). As noted in the changelog entries, we envisioned a quick and complete elimination of `matrix-nginx-proxy`, but at the end of 2023, it hasn't happened yet. The playbook is already using Traefik as the front-most reverse-proxy, but nginx (via `matrix-nginx-proxy`) is still around - it has taken a step back and is only used internally for new setups. Work got to a stall due to:

The playbook is already using Traefik as the front-most reverse-proxy, but nginx (via `matrix-nginx-proxy`) is still around - it has taken a step back and is only used internally for new setups. Work got to a stall due to:
 
 *   complexity: untangling the overly large and messy `matrix-nginx-proxy` component is difficult
 *   the current setup became "good enough" because nginx has become an internal implementation detail for those who have migrated to Traefik. Traefik is already the default public reverse-proxy and gives better possibilities to people wishing to run other web-exposed containers on their Matrix server via [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/), other Ansible playbooks like [mash-playbook](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook) (more about this one, below) or any other way.

 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!
 
-On the **media side of things**, besides Jitsi getting better Matrix integration (via the aforementioned Matrix User Verification Service), we've also had some [Coturn security tightening](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#backward-compatibility-tightening-coturn-security-can-lead-to-connectivity-issues) as well as [performance optimizations](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/850078b7e37401ce91a0f9b686f60b945f6c3a96/CHANGELOG.md#coturn-can-now-use-host-networking) for configurations exposing lots of network ports.

 [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.

 To set up Matrix on your domain, you'd need to do some DNS configuration.
 
+## DNS settings for services enabled by default
+
+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.
+
+**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.
+

+# 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 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.
-
-**Note**: the component is not managed by this repository but its [own repository](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-backup_borg).
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. If you do not disable Postgres-backup support, make sure that the Postgres version of your homeserver's database is compatible with borgmatic.
-
-2. Create a new SSH key:
-
-    ```sh
-    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.
-
-3. 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:
-
-    ```sh
-    # 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
-
-Minimal working configuration (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml`) to enable BorgBackup:
-
-```yaml
-backup_borg_enabled: true
-backup_borg_location_repositories:
- - ssh://USER@HOST/./REPO
-backup_borg_storage_encryption_passphrase: "PASSPHRASE"
-backup_borg_ssh_key_private: |

-  -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
-```
-
-where:
-
-* USER - SSH user of a provider/server
-* HOST - SSH host of a provider/server
-* REPO - BorgBackup repository name, it will be initialized on backup start, eg: `matrix`, regarding Syntax see [Remote repositories](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/general.html#repository-urls)
-* PASSPHRASE - passphrase used for encrypting backups. You can create one with a command like `pwgen -s 64 1`.
-* PRIVATE KEY - the content of the **private** part of the SSH key you created before. The whole key (all of its belonging lines) under `backup_borg_ssh_key_private` needs to be indented with 2 spaces
-
-To backup without encryption, add `backup_borg_encryption: 'none'` to your vars. This will also enable the `backup_borg_unknown_unencrypted_repo_access_is_ok` variable.
-
-`backup_borg_location_source_directories` defines the list of directories to back up: it's set to `{{ matrix_base_data_path }}` by default, which is the base directory for every service's data, such as Synapse, Postgres and the bridges. You might want to exclude certain directories or file patterns from the backup using the `backup_borg_location_exclude_patterns` variable.
-
-Check the [backup_borg role](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-backup_borg)'s [defaults/main.yml](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-backup_borg/blob/main/defaults/main.yml) file for the full list of available options.
-
-## 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. -->

-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.
-
-## 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.
+The [Ansible role for BorgBackup](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-backup_borg) 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 BorgBackup, you can check them via:

 ## Prerequisites
 
-### Register the bot account
-
-The playbook does not automatically create users for you. You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot.
-
-Generate a strong password for the bot. 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=bot.draupnir password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
-```
-
-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.
-
-### Obtain an access token
-
-The bot 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.
-
-### Make sure the account is free from rate limiting
-
-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, Draupnir will crash.**
-
-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.
-
-To expose the APIs publicly, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file.
-
-```yaml
-matrix_synapse_container_labels_public_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled: true
-```
-
-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).
-
-**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).
-
-To discharge rate limiting, run the following command on systems that ship curl (note that it does not work on outdated Windows 10). Even if the APIs are not exposed to the internet, you should still be able to run the command on the homeserver locally. Before running it, make sure to replace `@bot.draupnir:example.com` with the MXID of your Draupnir:
-
-```sh
-curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" -X POST https://matrix.example.com/_synapse/admin/v1/users/@bot.draupnir:example.com/override_ratelimit
-```
-
-You can obtain an access token for a homeserver admin account in the same way as you can do so for Draupnir itself. If you have made Draupnir an admin, you can just use the Draupnir token.
-
 ### 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.
+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.
 
-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 Web 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`.
+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)).
 
-Finally invite the `@bot.draupnir:example.com` account you created earlier into the room.
+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`.
+
+## End-to-End Encryption support
+
+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.
+
+### Disable Pantalaimon for Draupnir (since v2.0.0; optional)
+
+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.
+
+**Note**: because the management room is still encrypted, disabling it without enabling the native E2EE support will break the management room.
+
+### Native E2EE support
+
+To enable the native E2EE support, you need to obtain an access token for Draupnir and set it on your `vars.yml` file.
+
+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).
+
+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
+# 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"
+```

+
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_managementRoom: "MANAGEMENT_ROOM_ID_HERE"
 ```
 
-### End-to-End Encryption support
+### Create and invite the bot to the management room
 
-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.
+Before proceeding to the next step, run the playbook with the following command to create the bot user.
 
-To support E2EE, Draupnir needs to [use Pantalaimon](configuring-playbook-pantalaimon.md).
+```sh
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created
+```
 
-#### Configuration with E2EE support
+**Note**: the `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
 
-When using Pantalaimon, Draupnir will log in to its bot account itself through Pantalaimon, so configure its username and password.
+Then, invite the bot (`@bot.draupnir:example.com`) to its management room which you have created earlier.
 
-Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):
+### 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
-# Enable Pantalaimon. See docs/configuring-playbook-pantalaimon.md
-matrix_pantalaimon_enabled: true
-
-# Tell Draupnir to use Pantalaimon
-matrix_bot_draupnir_pantalaimon_use: true

-matrix_bot_draupnir_pantalaimon_password: "PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT"
+matrix_synapse_container_labels_public_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled: true
 ```
 
-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`:
+#### Obtain an access token for admin account
 
-```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 }}"
+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).
 
-# 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.

+> [!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.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
 ```
 
-#### Configuration without E2EE support
-
-When NOT using Pantalaimon, Draupnir does not log in by itself and you must give it an access token for its bot account.
-
-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).

+**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.

This module can be enabled in the playbook via setting `matrix_bot_draupnir_config_web_synapseHTTPAntispam_enabled` to `true` and making sure that Draupnir admin API access is enabled.
+
+```yaml
+# Enables the integration between Draupnir and synapse-http-antispam module.
+matrix_bot_draupnir_config_web_synapseHTTPAntispam_enabled: true
+
+# Enables draupnir to access Synapse admin APIs. This is required for the module functionality to take full effect.
+matrix_bot_draupnir_admin_api_enabled: true
+```
+
+These protections need to be manually activated and consulting the [enabling protections](#enabling-built-in-protections) guide can be helpful or consulting upstream documentation.
+
+<!--
+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.

 ### 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).

-To expose the APIs publicly, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file.
+**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.

-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).
+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-kakaotalk`.
 
-To set it up, you have 2 ways of going about it.
+### Increase logging verbosity
 
-#### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Shared Secret Auth
+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:
 
-The bridge automatically performs Double Puppeting if [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) service is configured and enabled on the server for this playbook.
-
-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.
-
-#### 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 `Appservice-Kakaotalk` device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
+```yaml
+matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_logging_level: DEBUG
+```

-## Configuration
+## Adjusting DNS records (optional)
+
+By default, this playbook installs Heisenbridge on the `matrix.` subdomain, at the `/heisenbridge` path (https://matrix.example.com/heisenbridge). It would handle media requests there (see the [release notes for Heisenbridge v1.15.0](https://github.com/hifi/heisenbridge/releases/tag/v1.15.0)). This makes it easy to install it, because it **doesn't require additional DNS records to be set up**. If that's okay, you can skip this section.

-### 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.
-
 ### 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 metrics.
+
+To enable Grafana, see [this section](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md#adjusting-the-playbook-configuration-grafana) for instructions.

+# 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
+
+## 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. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
+
+## 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.

 ## 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 `help` to the bot to see the available commands.
-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.

 If your Matrix server is in a wildly different location than where you usually use your Facebook account from, the bridge's login attempts may be outright rejected by Facebook. Along with that, Facebook may even force you to change the account's password.

-### 💡 Set up Double Puppeting
+You can then follow instructions on the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/gmessages/authentication.html).

+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-gmessages`.
 
-The bridge automatically performs Double Puppeting if [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service is configured and enabled on the server for this playbook.
+### Increase logging verbosity
 
-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.
+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:
 
-#### 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 `Mautrix-gmessages` device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature

+- (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.).

 ## Usage
 
 To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@whatsappbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
 
-### 💡 Set up Double Puppeting
+You can then follow instructions on the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/whatsapp/authentication.html).
 
-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).
+Approximately in a minute after logging in, the bridge will create portal rooms for recent chats.
 
-To set it up, you have 2 ways of going about it.
+**Note**: your linked devices will be logged out if you don’t use your phone for over 14 days (see the official FAQ entry [here](https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/download-and-installation/about-linked-devices)). The bridge will warn you if it doesn't receive any data from the phone over 12 days.
 
-#### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Appservice Double Puppet or Shared Secret Auth
+## Troubleshooting
 
-The bridge automatically performs Double Puppeting if [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) or [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) service is configured and enabled on the server for this playbook.
+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-whatsapp`.
 
-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.
+### Increase logging verbosity
 
-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 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:
 
-#### 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 `Mautrix-Whatsapp` device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
+```yaml
+# Valid values: fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace
+matrix_mautrix_whatsapp_logging_level: 'debug'
+```

+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.

 # Configuring Element Web (optional)
 
 By default, this playbook installs the [Element Web](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web) Matrix client for you. If that's okay, you can skip this document.
 
+If you'd like to stop the playbook installing the client, see the section [below](#disabling-element-web) to check the configuration for disabling it.
+
 💡 **Note**: the latest version of Element Web is also available on the web, hosted by 3rd parties. If you trust giving your credentials to the following 3rd party Single Page Applications, you can consider using it from there and avoiding the (small) overhead of self-hosting (by [disabling Element Web](#disabling-element-web)):
 
 - [app.element.io](https://app.element.io/), hosted by [Element](https://element.io/)
 - [app.etke.cc](https://app.etke.cc/), hosted by [etke.cc](https://etke.cc/)
 
-## Disabling Element Web
+## Adjusting DNS records
 
-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 `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
+By default, this playbook installs Element Web on the `element.` subdomain (`element.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `element`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
 
-```yaml
-matrix_client_element_enabled: false
-```
+When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
 
 ## Adjusting the playbook configuration
 
-The playbook provides some customization variables you could use to change Element Web's settings.
+### Set the country code for phone number inputs
 
-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.
+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:
 
-**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 Web 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 Web'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).
+```yaml
+matrix_client_element_default_country_code: "FR"
+```
 
 ### Themes
 
-To change the look of Element Web, you can define your own themes manually by using the `matrix_client_element_setting_defaults_custom_themes` setting.
+#### Change the default theme
 
-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`).
+You can change the default theme from `light` to `dark`. To do so, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file:
 
-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.
+```yaml
+# Controls the default theme
+matrix_client_element_default_theme: 'dark'
+```
+
+#### Use themes by `element-themes`
+

+# Configuring conduwuit (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure the [conduwuit](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/) Matrix server for you.
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+By default, the playbook installs [Synapse](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse) as it's the only full-featured Matrix server at the moment. If that's okay, you can skip this document.
+
+💡 **Note**: conduwuit is a fork of [Conduit](./configuring-playbook-conduit.md), which the playbook also supports. See [Differences from upstream Conduit](https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/differences.html).
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> - **You can't switch an existing Matrix server's implementation** (e.g. Synapse -> conduwuit). Proceed below only if you're OK with losing data or you're dealing with a server on a new domain name, which hasn't participated in the Matrix federation yet.
+> - **Homeserver implementations other than Synapse may not be fully functional**. The playbook may also not assist you in an optimal way (like it does with Synapse). Make yourself familiar with the downsides before proceeding
+> - **the Conduwuit project appears to have been abandoned**. You may wish to install [Conduit](./configuring-playbook-conduit.md), or one of the Conduwuit successors (like [Continuwuity](configuring-playbook-continuwuity.md))
+
+## 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
+    receive_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

+
+## Migrating from conduwuit

+Since Continuwuity is a drop-in replacement for [conduwuit](configuring-playbook-conduwuit.md), migration is possible.
+
+1. Make sure that Continuwuity is properly set up on your `vars.yml` as described above
+
+2. Make sure that Conduwuit references are removed from your `vars.yml` file
+
+3. Run the installation in a way that installs new services and uninstalls old ones (e.g. `just setup-all`)
+
+4. Run the playbook with the `continuwuity-migrate-from-conduwuit` tag (e.g. `just run-tags continuwuity-migrate-from-conduwuit`). This migrates data from `/matrix/conduwuit` to `/matrix/continuwuity`

This is handled automatically based on the value of `matrix_homeserver_federation_enabled`. Enabling Dimension, means that the `openid` API endpoints will be exposed on the Matrix Federation port (usually `8448`), even if [federation](configuring-playbook-federation.md) is disabled. It's something to be aware of, especially in terms of firewall whitelisting (make sure port `8448` is accessible).
+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`):

+# Setting up Element Call (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure [Element Call](https://github.com/element-hq/element-call) and its supporting components that are part of the [Matrix RTC stack](configuring-playbook-matrix-rtc.md).
+
+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)
+- The [Matrix RTC (Real-Time Communication) stack](configuring-playbook-matrix-rtc.md) (automatically done 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).
+- (Optional) Guest accounts being enabled for your Matrix server, if you'd like guests to be able to use Element Call. See [Allowing guests to use Element Call](#allowing-guests-to-use-element-call-optional)
+
+> [!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 between Element Call vs just the Matrix RTC stack
+
+All clients that can currently use Element Call (Element Web and Element X on mobile) already embed the Element Call frontend within them.
+These **clients will use their own embedded Element Call frontend**, so **self-hosting the Element Call frontend by the playbook is largely unnecessary**.
+
+💡 A reason you may wish to continue installing the Element Call frontend (despite Matrix clients not making use of it), is if you need to use it standalone - directly via a browser (without a Matrix client). Note that unless you [allow guest accounts to use Element Call](#allowing-guests-to-use-element-call-optional), you will still need a Matrix user account **on the same homeserver** to be able to use Element Call.
+
+The playbook makes a distinction between enabling Element Call (`matrix_element_call_enabled`) and enabling the Matrix RTC Stack (`matrix_rtc_enabled`). Enabling Element Call automatically enables the Matrix RTC stack. Because installing the Element Call frontend is now unnecessary, **we recommend only installing the Matrix RTC stack, without the Element Call frontend**.
+
+| Description / Variable | Element Call frontend | [LiveKit Server](configuring-playbook-livekit-server.md) | [LiveKit JWT Service](configuring-playbook-livekit-jwt-service.md) |
+|------------------------|-----------------------|----------------|---------------------|
+| Description | Static website that provides the Element Call UI (but often embedded by clients) | Scalable, multi-user conferencing solution based on WebRTC | A helper component that allows Element Call to integrate with LiveKit Server |
+| Required for Element Call to function | No | Yes | Yes |
+| `matrix_element_call_enabled` | ✅ Installed | ✅ Installed | ✅ Installed |
+| `matrix_rtc_enabled` | ❌ Not Installed, but usually unnecessary | ✅ Installed | ✅ Installed |
+
+All documentation below assumes that you've decided to install Element Call and not just the Matrix RTC stack.
+
+## Decide on a domain and path
+
+By default, the Element Call frontend 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
+# Enable the Element Call frontend UI to allow standalone use of Element Call.
+# Enabling this also auto-enables the Matrix RTC stack.
+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).
+
+### Allowing guests to use Element Call (optional)
+
+By default, Element Call can only be used by people having accounts on your Matrix server.
+
+If you'd like guests to be able to use Element Call as well, you need to enable guest accounts support for your homeserver.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Enabling guest accounts means that your homeserver's user database may get polluted with guest account signups (potentially made by bots).
+> Guest accounts should be limited in what (damage) they can do to your server and the rest of the Matrix ecosystem, but it's better to not enable them unless necessary.
+
+For [Synapse](configuring-playbook-synapse.md) (the default homeserver implementation), the configuration is like this:
+
+```yml
+matrix_synapse_allow_guest_access: true
+```
+
+For [Dendrite](configuring-playbook-dendrite.md), the configuration is like this:
+
+```yml
+matrix_dendrite_guests_disabled: false
+```
+
+## 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 the playbook configuration
+
+### 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.
 
-### Configuations for sending emails using Sendgrid
+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.
 
-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.
