## DNS
2022-01-05 16:33:21 +00:00
2024-10-12 18:18:59 +00:00
You need to add a `cinny.DOMAIN` DNS record so that Cinny can be accessed.
2024-10-10 18:40:17 +00:00
By default Cinny will use https://cinny.DOMAIN so you will need to create an CNAME record
2022-01-05 16:33:21 +00:00
for `cinny` . See [Configuring DNS ](configuring-dns.md ).
2024-10-12 18:18:59 +00:00
If you would like to use a different domain, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file (changing it to use your preferred domain):
2022-01-05 16:33:21 +00:00
```yaml
2024-10-15 09:33:19 +00:00
matrix_server_fqn_cinny: "app.{{ matrix_domain }}"
2022-01-05 16:33:21 +00:00
```
2024-10-12 18:18:59 +00:00
