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-ldap-registration-proxy (optional)

The playbook can install and configure matrix-ldap-registration-proxy for you.

This proxy handles Matrix registration requests and forwards them to LDAP.

Note: This does support the full Matrix specification for registrations. It only provide a very coarse implementation of a basic password registration.

Quickstart

Add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:

matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_enabled: true
# LDAP credentials
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_uri: <URI>
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_base_dn: <DN>
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_user: <USER>
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_password: <password>

If you already use the synapse external password provider via LDAP (that is, you have matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_enabled: true and other options in your configuration) you can use the following values as configuration:

# Use the LDAP values specified for the synapse role to setup LDAP proxy
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_uri: "{{ matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_uri }}"
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_base_dn: "{{ matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_base }}"
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_user: "{{ matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_bind_dn }}"
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_password: "{{ matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_bind_password }}"

matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_systemd_wanted_services_list_custom:
  - matrix-synapse.service

Installing

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

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start

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. Note these shortcuts run the ensure-matrix-users-created tag too.
