* Replace installation command shortcut for the "just" program with the most conservative raw ansible-playbook command
This commit replaces installation command shortcut ("recipe") for the "just" program with the raw ansible-playbook command, so that the shortcut will be added to it later. The command is so conservative that failure of the command will mean something is clearly broken.

* Add description about shortcut command with the "just" program to the ansible-playbook command with "setup-all" and "start" tags
It also explains difference between "just install-all" and "just setup-all" recipes. The explanation is based on docs/playbook-tags.md

* Update raw ansible-playbook command to have it do what "just install-all" or "just setup-all" does
Since "just install-all" or "just setup-all" invokes "ensure-matrix-users-created" as well, it needs adding to the raw ansible-playbook command.

* Remove "ensure-matrix-users-created" from the raw ansible-playbook command which does not need it
Also: update the "just" recipes accordingly. "just install-all" and "just setup-all" run "ensure-matrix-users-created" tag as well, therefore they need to be replaced with "run-tags" recipes to skip "ensure-matrix-users-created"

* Add description about "ensure-matrix-users-created" and create a list with description about shortcut commands with "just"
This commit also fixes list item capitalization and punctuation.

* Replace "run the installation command" with "run the playbook with tags"
Now that shortcut commands for the "just" program are displayed along with the existing "installation command", this commit replaces "run the installation command" with "run the playbook with tags" in order to prevent misunderstanding and confusion.

Setting up Cinny (optional)
This playbook can install the Cinny Matrix web client for you.
Cinny is a web client focusing primarily on simple, elegant and secure interface. It can be installed alongside or instead of Element Web.
💡 Note: the latest version of Cinny is also available on the web, hosted by 3rd parties. If you trust giving your credentials to the following 3rd party Single Page Applications, you can consider using it from there and avoiding the (small) overhead of self-hosting:
- app.cinny.in, hosted by the Cinny developers
Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable Cinny, add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:
matrix_client_cinny_enabled: true
Adjusting the Cinny URL
By default, this playbook installs Cinny on the cinny. subdomain (cinny.example.com) and requires you to adjust your DNS records.
By tweaking the matrix_client_cinny_hostname variable, you can easily make the service available at a different hostname than the default one.
While a matrix_client_cinny_path_prefix variable exists for tweaking the path-prefix, it's not supported anymore, because Cinny requires an application rebuild (with a tweaked build config) to be functional under a custom path.
Example additional configuration for your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:
# Switch to a different domain (`app.example.com`) than the default one (`cinny.example.com`)
matrix_client_cinny_hostname: "app.{{ matrix_domain }}"
Adjusting DNS records
Once you've decided on the domain, you may need to adjust your DNS records to point the Cinny domain to the Matrix server.
By default, you will need to create a CNAME record for cinny. See Configuring DNS for details about DNS changes.
If you've adjusted matrix_client_cinny_hostname, you will need to adjust your DNS configuration accordingly.
Installing
After configuring the playbook and adjusting your DNS records, run the playbook with playbook tags as below:
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.
