# Setting up the rageshake bug report server (optional)
The playbook can install and configure the [rageshake](https://github.com/matrix-org/rageshake) bug report server for you.
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/rageshake/blob/main/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
**Note**: most people don't need to install rageshake to collect bug reports. This component is only useful to people who develop/build their own Matrix client applications themselves.
## Adjusting DNS records
By default, this playbook installs rageshake on the `rageshake.` subdomain (`rageshake.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `rageshake`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable rageshake, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
matrix_rageshake_enabled: true
```
rageshake has various options which don't have dedicated Ansible variables. You can see the full list of options in the [`rageshake.sample.yaml` file](https://github.com/matrix-org/rageshake/blob/master/rageshake.sample.yaml).
To set these, you can make use of the `matrix_rageshake_configuration_extension_yaml` variable like this:
```yaml
matrix_rageshake_configuration_extension_yaml: |
github_token: secrettoken
github_project_mappings:
my-app: octocat/HelloWorld
```
### Adjusting the rageshake URL (optional)
By tweaking the `matrix_rageshake_hostname` and `matrix_rageshake_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one.
Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
```yaml
# Switch to the domain used for Matrix services (`matrix.example.com`),
# so we won't need to add additional DNS records for rageshake.
matrix_rageshake_hostname: "{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}"
# Expose under the /rageshake subpath
matrix_rageshake_path_prefix: /rageshake
```
After changing the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the rageshake domain to the Matrix server.
If you've decided to reuse the `matrix.` domain, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.
## Installing
After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the 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
Refer to the project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/rageshake/blob/main/README.md) for available APIs, etc.
