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 Matrix SMS bridging (optional)

The playbook can install and configure matrix-sms-bridge for you.

See the project page to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

The bridge uses android-sms-gateway-server. You need to configure it first.

Adjusting the playbook configuration

To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:

matrix_sms_bridge_enabled: true

# (optional but recommended) a room ID to a default room
matrix_sms_bridge_default_room: ""

# (optional but recommended) configure your server location
matrix_sms_bridge_default_region: DE
matrix_sms_bridge_default_timezone: Europe/Berlin

# Settings to connect to android-sms-gateway-server
matrix_sms_bridge_provider_android_baseurl: https://192.168.24.24:9090
matrix_sms_bridge_provider_android_username: admin
matrix_sms_bridge_provider_android_password: supeSecretPassword

# (optional) if your android-sms-gateway-server uses a self signed vertificate, the bridge needs a "truststore". This can be the certificate itself.
matrix_sms_bridge_provider_android_truststore_local_path: android-sms-gateway-server.p12
matrix_sms_bridge_provider_android_truststore_password: 123

Installing

After configuring the playbook, run it with playbook tags as below:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start

Notes:

  • The ensure-matrix-users-created playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.

  • The shortcut commands with the just program 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.

Usage
