Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/3701 We can restore support for it by making a non-/ path prefix trigger a self-build with a modified build config, so that a Cinny version with path-prefix support would be produced. Traefik label changes may also be required. For now, we're not doing all that work, but simply dropping support for path prefixes for Cinny.

# 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.
|
|
|
|
## 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 [installation](installing.md) command: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
