# Serving the base domain
|
|
|
|
This playbook sets up services on your Matrix server (`matrix.DOMAIN`).
|
|
To have this server officially be responsible for Matrix services for the base domain (`DOMAIN`), you need to set up [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md).
|
|
This is normally done by [configuring well-known](configuring-well-known.md) files on the base domain.
|
|
|
|
People who don't have a separate server to dedicate to the base domain have trouble arranging this.
|
|
|
|
Usually, there are 2 options:
|
|
|
|
- either get a separate server for the base domain, just for serving the files necessary for [Server Delegation via a well-known file](howto-server-delegation.md#server-delegation-via-a-well-known-file)
|
|
|
|
- or, arrange for the Matrix server to serve the base domain. This either involves you [using your own webserver](configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md) or making the integrated webserver (`matrix-nginx-proxy`) serve the base domain for you.
|
|
|
|
We let you do the latter. With some easy changes, we make it possible to serve the base domain from the Matrix server via the integrated webserver (`matrix-nginx-proxy`).
|
|
|
|
Just **adjust your DNS records**, so that your base domain is pointed to the Matrix server's IP address **and use the following configuration**:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_nginx_proxy_base_domain_serving_enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Doing this, the playbook will:
|
|
|
|
- obtain an SSL certificate for the base domain, just like it does for all other domains (see [how we handle SSL certificates](configuring-playbook-ssl-certificates.md))
|
|
|
|
- serve the `/.well-known/matrix/*` files which are necessary for [Federation Server Discovery](configuring-well-known.md#introduction-to-client-server-discovery) (also see [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md)) and [Client-Server discovery](configuring-well-known.md#introduction-to-client-server-discovery)
|
|
|
|
- serve a simple homepage at `https://DOMAIN` with content `Hello from DOMAIN` (configurable via the `matrix_nginx_proxy_base_domain_homepage_template` variable)
