* Replace "just run-tags install-all/setup-all,start" with "just install-all/setup-all" Thanks to the tip by Slavi that the overhead of ensure-matrix-users-created is negligible. Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * Edit installing instructions - Move the anchor links to docs/just.md - Add note about running "ensure-matrix-users-created" tags, if ansible-playbook's tags not "setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start", ie. either "setup-all,start", "setup-email2matrix,start", "setup-aux-files,setup-corporal,start", or "setup-matrix-user-verification-service,start" Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org> * Update descriptions about installation - Introduce the most conservative and stable raw ansible-playbook command. - Introduce the just commands on installing.md and maintenance-upgrading-services.md, not on quick-start.md, since it is too early for quick start guide readers who are just starting to climb learning curve to use the shortcuts.

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 the
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. -
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.
