* Replace installation command shortcut for the "just" program with the most conservative raw ansible-playbook command
This commit replaces installation command shortcut ("recipe") for the "just" program with the raw ansible-playbook command, so that the shortcut will be added to it later. The command is so conservative that failure of the command will mean something is clearly broken.

* Add description about shortcut command with the "just" program to the ansible-playbook command with "setup-all" and "start" tags
It also explains difference between "just install-all" and "just setup-all" recipes. The explanation is based on docs/playbook-tags.md

* Update raw ansible-playbook command to have it do what "just install-all" or "just setup-all" does
Since "just install-all" or "just setup-all" invokes "ensure-matrix-users-created" as well, it needs adding to the raw ansible-playbook command.

* Remove "ensure-matrix-users-created" from the raw ansible-playbook command which does not need it
Also: update the "just" recipes accordingly. "just install-all" and "just setup-all" run "ensure-matrix-users-created" tag as well, therefore they need to be replaced with "run-tags" recipes to skip "ensure-matrix-users-created"

* Replace "run the installation command" with "run the playbook with tags"
Now that shortcut commands for the "just" program are displayed along with the existing "installation command", this commit replaces "run the installation command" with "run the playbook with tags" in order to prevent misunderstanding and confusion.

Setting up matrix-reminder-bot (optional)
The playbook can install and configure matrix-reminder-bot for you.
It's a bot you can use to schedule one-off & recurring reminders and alarms.
See the project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
Adjusting the playbook configuration
Add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:
matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_enabled: true
# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
# matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_matrix_user_id_localpart: bot.matrix-reminder-bot
# Generate a strong password here. Consider generating it with `pwgen -s 64 1`
matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_matrix_user_password: PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT
# Adjust this to your timezone
matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_reminders_timezone: Europe/London
Installing
After configuring the playbook, run it with playbook tags as below:
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
Notes:
-
The
ensure-matrix-users-createdplaybook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account. -
The shortcut commands with
justprogram are also available:just install-allorjust setup-alljust install-allis useful for maintaining your setup quickly when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust yourvars.ymlto remove other components, you'd need to runjust setup-all, or these components will still remain installed. For more information aboutjustshortcuts, take a look at this page: Runningjustcommands -
If you change the bot password (
matrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_matrix_user_passwordin yourvars.ymlfile) subsequently, the bot user's credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically. If you'd like to change the bot user's password, use a tool like synapse-admin to change it, and then updatematrix_bot_matrix_reminder_bot_matrix_user_passwordto let the bot know its new password.
Usage
To use the bot, start a chat with @bot.matrix-reminder-bot:example.com (where example.com is your base domain, not the matrix. domain).
You can also add the bot to any existing Matrix room (/invite @bot.matrix-reminder-bot:example.com).
Basic usage is like this: !remindme in 2 minutes; This is a test
Send !help reminders to the room to see the bot's help menu for additional commands.
You can also refer to the upstream Usage documentation.
