msgid "**Note**: The sliding-sync proxy is **not required** anymore as it's been replaced with a different method (called Simplified Sliding Sync) which is integrated into newer homeservers by default (**Conduit** homeserver from version `0.6.0` or **Synapse** from version `1.114`). This component and documentation remain here for historical purposes, but **installing this old sliding-sync proxy is generally not recommended anymore**."
msgid "Sliding Sync is an implementation of [MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/kegan/sync-v3/proposals/3575-sync.md) and a prerequisite for running Element X clients ([Element X iOS](https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios) and [Element X Android](https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android)). See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync) to learn more."
msgid "By default, this playbook installs the Sliding Sync proxy on the `matrix.` subdomain, at the `/sliding-sync` path (https://matrix.example.com/sliding-sync). This makes it easy to install it, because it **doesn't require additional DNS records to be set up**. If that's okay, you can skip this section."
msgid "By tweaking the `matrix_sliding_sync_hostname` and `matrix_sliding_sync_path_prefix` variables, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname and/or path** than the default one."
msgid "After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:"
msgid "`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too."
msgid "Please note that, if your setup utilizes an external database, you must also establish configuration for the sliding sync proxy. Alter the defaults below to suit your configuration:"
msgid "You **don't need to do anything special** to make use of the Sliding Sync proxy. Simply open your client which supports Sliding Sync (like Element X) and log in."
msgid "When the Sliding Sync proxy is [installed](#installing), your `/.well-known/matrix/client` file is also updated. A new `org.matrix.msc3575.proxy` section and `url` property are added there and made to point to your Sliding Sync proxy's base URL (e.g. `https://matrix.example.com/sliding-sync`)."
