* 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"

* Update docs/configuring-playbook-etherpad.md: add ensure-matrix-users-created to the raw ansible-playbook
Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org>
* Add description about "ensure-matrix-users-created" and create a list with description about shortcut commands with "just"
This commit also fixes list item capitalization and punctuation.

* 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 Cinny (optional)
|
|
|
|
This playbook can install the [Cinny](https://github.com/ajbura/cinny) Matrix web client for you.
|
|
|
|
Cinny is a web client focusing primarily on simple, elegant and secure interface. It can be installed alongside or instead of [Element Web](./configuring-playbook-client-element-web.md).
|
|
|
|
💡 **Note**: the latest version of Cinny 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:
|
|
|
|
- [app.cinny.in](https://app.cinny.in), hosted by the [Cinny](https://cinny.in/) developers
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable Cinny, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_client_cinny_enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Adjusting the Cinny URL
|
|
|
|
By default, this playbook installs Cinny on the `cinny.` subdomain (`cinny.example.com`) and requires you to [adjust your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records).
|
|
|
|
By tweaking the `matrix_client_cinny_hostname` variable, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname** than the default one.
|
|
|
|
While a `matrix_client_cinny_path_prefix` variable exists for tweaking the path-prefix, it's [not supported anymore](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/3701), because Cinny requires an application rebuild (with a tweaked build config) to be functional under a custom path.
|
|
|
|
Example additional configuration for your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Switch to a different domain (`app.example.com`) than the default one (`cinny.example.com`)
|
|
matrix_client_cinny_hostname: "app.{{ matrix_domain }}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Adjusting DNS records
|
|
|
|
Once you've decided on the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Cinny domain to the Matrix server.
|
|
|
|
By default, you will need to create a CNAME record for `cinny`. See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md) for details about DNS changes.
|
|
|
|
If you've adjusted `matrix_client_cinny_hostname`, you will need to adjust your DNS configuration accordingly.
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
After configuring the playbook and [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 `just` program are also available: `just run-tags install-all,start` or `just run-tags setup-all,start`
|
|
|
|
`just run-tags install-all,start` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just run-tags setup-all,start`, or these components will still remain installed. For more information about `just` shortcuts, take a look at this page: [Running `just` commands](just.md)
