Edit installing instructions (#3844)
* Replace "just run-tags install-all/setup-all,start" with "just install-all/setup-all"

Thanks to the tip by Slavi that the overhead of ensure-matrix-users-created is negligible.

* Edit installing instructions

- Move the anchor links to docs/just.md
- Add note about running "ensure-matrix-users-created" tags, if ansible-playbook's tags not "setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start", ie. either "setup-all,start", "setup-email2matrix,start", "setup-aux-files,setup-corporal,start", or "setup-matrix-user-verification-service,start"

* Update descriptions about installation

- Introduce the most conservative and stable raw ansible-playbook command.
- Introduce the just commands on installing.md and maintenance-upgrading-services.md, not on quick-start.md, since it is too early for quick start guide readers who are just starting to climb learning curve to use the shortcuts.

* Update docs/configuring-playbook-etherpad.md: remove the note about ensure-matrix-users-created

# Setting up the rageshake bug report server (optional)
The playbook can install and configure the [rageshake](https://github.com/matrix-org/rageshake) bug report server for you.
This is useful if you're developing your own applications and would like to collect bug reports for them.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable rageshake, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
matrix_rageshake_enabled: true
```
rageshake has various options which don't have dedicated Ansible variables. You can see the full list of options in the [`rageshake.sample.yaml` file](https://github.com/matrix-org/rageshake/blob/master/rageshake.sample.yaml).
To set these, you can make use of the `matrix_rageshake_configuration_extension_yaml` variable like this:
```yaml
matrix_rageshake_configuration_extension_yaml: |
github_token: secrettoken
github_project_mappings:
my-app: octocat/HelloWorld
```
### Adjusting the rageshake URL
By default, this playbook installs rageshake on the `rageshake.` subdomain (`rageshake.example.com`) and requires you to [adjust your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records).
By tweaking the `matrix_rageshake_hostname` and `matrix_rageshake_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:
```yaml
# Switch to the domain used for Matrix services (`matrix.example.com`),
# so we won't need to add additional DNS records for rageshake.
matrix_rageshake_hostname: "{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}"
# Expose under the /rageshake subpath
matrix_rageshake_path_prefix: /rageshake
```
## Adjusting DNS records
Once you've decided on the domain and path, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the rageshake domain to the Matrix server.
By default, you will need to create a CNAME record for `rageshake`. See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md) for details about DNS changes.
If you've decided to reuse the `matrix.` domain, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.
## Installing
After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
```sh
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
```
The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
`just install-all` 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 setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
## Usage
Refer to the [rageshake documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/rageshake) for available APIs, etc.
