* 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"

* 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.

Configuring Riot-web (optional)
By default, this playbook used to install the Riot-web Matrix client web application.
Riot has since been renamed to Element.
- to learn more about Element Web and its configuration, see our dedicated Configuring Element Web documentation page
- to learn how to migrate from Riot to Element Web, see Migrating to Element Web below
Migrating to Element Web
Migrating your custom settings
If you have custom matrix_riot_web_ variables in your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file, you'll need to rename them (matrix_riot_web_ -> matrix_client_element_).
Some other playbook variables (but not all) with riot in their name are also renamed. The playbook checks and warns if you are using the old name for some commonly used ones.
Domain migration
We used to set up Riot at the riot.example.com domain. The playbook now sets up Element Web at element.example.com by default.
There are a few options for handling this:
-
(avoiding changes - using the old
riot.example.comdomain and avoiding DNS changes) -- to keep usingriot.example.cominstead ofelement.example.com, override the domain at which the playbook serves Element Web:matrix_server_fqn_element: "riot.{{ matrix_domain }}" -
(embracing changes - using only
element.example.com) - set up theelement.example.comDNS record (see Configuring DNS). You can drop theriot.example.comin this case.
Re-running the playbook
After configuring the playbook, run it with playbook tags as below:
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.
