Update docs/configuring-playbook.md: create a list for server components based on the table on README.md
Also: update README.md and docs/container-images.md

Move Sygnal and ntfy from "Server Components" to "Misc", following the existing categorization on docs/configuring-playbook.md where they are categorized as "Other specialzed services". This categorization makes more sense as they are not really services which make the components on the server work (per README.md)

Configuring the Ansible playbook

To configure the playbook, you need to have done the following things:

You can then follow these steps inside the playbook directory:

  1. create a directory to hold your configuration (mkdir -p inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com where example.com is your "base domain")

  2. copy the sample configuration file (cp examples/vars.yml inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml)

  3. edit the configuration file (inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml) to your liking. You may also take a look at the various roles/*/ROLE_NAME_HERE/defaults/main.yml files and see if there's something you'd like to copy over and override in your vars.yml configuration file.

  4. copy the sample inventory hosts file (cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts)

  5. edit the inventory hosts file (inventory/hosts) to your liking

  6. (optional, advanced) you may wish to keep your inventory directory under version control with git or any other version-control system.

  7. (optional, advanced) to run Ansible against multiple servers with different sudo credentials, you can copy the sample inventory hosts yaml file for each of your hosts: (cp examples/host.yml inventory/my_host1.yml …) and use the ansible-all-hosts.sh script in the installation step.

For a basic Matrix installation, that's all you need.

For a more custom setup, see the Other configuration options below.

When you're done with all the configuration you'd like to do, continue with Installing.

Deprecated / unmaintained / removed services

Note: since a deprecated or unmaintained service will not be updated, its bug or vulnerability will be unlikely to get patched. It is recommended to migrate from the service to an alternative if any, and make sure to do your own research before you decide to keep it running nonetheless.
