# Configuring Riot-web (optional)
2023-12-15 10:18:18 +00:00
By default, this playbook **used to install** the [Riot-web ](https://github.com/element-hq/riot-web ) Matrix client web application.
2019-08-25 07:37:05 +00:00
2020-07-17 08:31:20 +00:00
Riot has since been [renamed to Element ](https://element.io/blog/welcome-to-element/ ).

## 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_` ).
2019-08-25 07:37:05 +00:00
2020-07-17 15:56:40 +00:00
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.

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.

- (**avoiding changes** - using the old `riot.example.com` domain and avoiding DNS changes) -- to keep using `riot.example.com` instead of `element.example.com` , override the domain at which the playbook serves Element Web: `matrix_server_fqn_element: "riot.{{ matrix_domain }}"`

2024-10-17 13:17:56 +00:00
- (**embracing changes** - using only `element.example.com` ) - set up the `element.example.com` DNS record (see [Configuring DNS ](configuring-dns.md )). You can drop the `riot.example.com` in this case.

### Re-running the playbook

2024-12-01 07:42:30 +00:00
After configuring the playbook, run it 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 )
