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 user identifier like `@alice:example.com`, 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).

`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.

You generally need to do a playbook installation. It's recommended to follow the full installation guide (starting at the [Prerequisites](prerequisites.md) page), not the [Quick start](quick-start.md) guide.
