# Configuring Riot-web (optional)
|
|
|
|
By default, this playbook **used to install** the [Riot-web](https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web) Matrix client web application.
|
|
|
|
Riot has since been [renamed to Element](https://element.io/blog/welcome-to-element/).
|
|
|
|
- to learn more about Element and its configuration, see our dedicated [Configuring Element](configuring-playbook-client-element.md) documentation page
|
|
- to learn how to migrate from Riot to Element, see [Migrating to Element](#migrating-to-element) below
|

|
## Migrating to Element
|
|
|
|
### Migrating your custom settings
|
|
|
|
If you have custom `matrix_riot_web_` variables in your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file, you'll need to rename them (`matrix_riot_web_` -> `matrix_client_element_`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Domain migration
|
|
|
|
We used to set up Riot at the `riot.DOMAIN` domain. The playbook now sets up Element at `element.DOMAIN` by default.
|
|
|
|
There are a few options for handling this:
|
|
|
|
- (**avoiding changes** - using the old `riot.DOMAIN` domain and avoiding DNS changes) -- to keep using `riot.DOMAIN` instead of `element.DOMAIN`, override the domain at which the playbook serves Element: `matrix_server_fqn_element: "riot.{{ matrix_domain }}"`
|
|
|
|
- (**embracing changes** - using only `element.DOMAIN`) - set up the `element.DOMAIN` DNS record (see [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md)). You can drop the `riot.DOMAIN` in this case. If so, you may also wish to remove old SSL certificates (`rm -rf /matrix/ssl/config/live/riot.DOMAIN`), so that `certbot` would stop trying to renew them.
|
|
|
|
- (**embracing changes and transitioning smoothly** - using both `element.DOMAIN` and `riot.DOMAIN`) - to serve Element at the new domain (`element.DOMAIN`) and to also have `riot.DOMAIN` redirect there - set up the `element.DOMAIN` DNS record (see [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md)) and enable Riot to Element redirection (`matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_riot_compat_redirect_enabled: true`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Re-running the playbook
|
|
|
|
As always, after making the necessary DNS and configuration adjustments, re-run the playbook to apply the changes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
|
|
```
