Emojify main README

✓ and x indicators provide less visibility, as they're very similarly
looking.

Emojis (especially when colored) make it much easier to see which
component is a default one and which isn't.

Section headings are also prefixed with an emoji now to make
decrease the "wall of text" feeling.

# Matrix (An open network for secure, decentralized communication) server setup using Ansible and Docker # Matrix (An open network for secure, decentralized communication) server setup using Ansible and Docker
## Purpose ## 🎯 Purpose
This [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) playbook is meant to help you run your own [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) homeserver, along with the [various services](#supported-services) related to that. This [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) playbook is meant to help you run your own [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) homeserver, along with the [various services](#supported-services) related to that.
That is, it lets you join the Matrix network using your own `@<username>:example.com` identifier, all hosted on your own server (see [prerequisites](docs/prerequisites.md)). That is, it lets you join the Matrix network using your own `@<username>:example.com` identifier, all hosted on your own server (see [prerequisites](docs/prerequisites.md)).
We run all [supported services](#supported-services) in [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) containers (see [the container images we use](docs/container-images.md)), which lets us have a predictable and up-to-date setup, across multiple supported distros (see [prerequisites](docs/prerequisites.md)) and [architectures](docs/alternative-architectures.md) (x86/amd64 being recommended).

This Ansible playbook tries to make self-hosting and maintaining a Matrix server fairly easy (see [Getting started](#getting-started)). Still, running any service smoothly requires knowledge, time and effort.

If you like the [FOSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software) spirit of this Ansible playbook, but prefer to put the responsibility on someone else, you can also [get a managed Matrix server from etke.cc](https://etke.cc?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) (both hosting and on-premises) - a service built on top of this Ansible playbook but with [additional components](https://etke.cc/help/extras/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) and [services](https://etke.cc/services/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) which all help you run a Matrix server with ease. Be advised that etke.cc operates on a subscription-based approach and there is no "just set up my server once and be done with it" option.
