* 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.

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 the Sliding Sync proxy (optional)
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.
The playbook can install and configure sliding-sync proxy for you.
Sliding Sync is an implementation of MSC3575 and a prerequisite for running Element X clients (Element X iOS and Element X Android). See the project's documentation to learn more.
Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable Sliding Sync proxy, add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:
matrix_sliding_sync_enabled: true
Adjusting the Sliding Sync proxy URL
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.
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.
Example additional configuration for your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:
# Change the default hostname and path prefix
matrix_sliding_sync_hostname: ss.example.com
matrix_sliding_sync_path_prefix: /
Adjusting DNS records
If you've changed the default hostname, you may need to adjust your DNS records to point the Honoroit domain to the Matrix server.
See Configuring DNS for details about DNS changes.
If you've decided to use the default hostname, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.
Installing
After configuring the playbook and potentially 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. For more information about just shortcuts, take a look at this page: Running just commands
External databases
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:
matrix_sliding_sync_database_username: 'matrix_sliding_sync'
matrix_sliding_sync_database_password: ''
matrix_sliding_sync_database_hostname: ''
matrix_sliding_sync_database_port: 5432
matrix_sliding_sync_database_name: 'matrix_sliding_sync'
Usage
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.
When the Sliding Sync proxy is installed, 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).
This allows clients which support Sliding Sync to detect the Sliding Sync proxy's URL and make use of it.
