Configuration File
To use this tool you need to have a configuration file in
"~/.config/matrixctl/config.yaml" or in "/etc/matrixctl/config.yaml".
# Define your homeservers in "servers" here.
servers:
# Your default server. You can specify muliple servers here with arbitrary
# Names
default:
ansible:
# The absolute path to your playbook
playbook: /path/to/ansible/playbook

synapse:
# The absolute path to the synapse playbook.
# This is only used for updating the playbook.
playbook: /path/to/synapse/playbook

# If your matrix server is deployed, you may want to fill out the API section.
# It enables matrixctl to run more and faster commands. You can deploy and
# provision your Server without this section. You also can create a user with
# "matrixctl adduser --ansible YourUsername" and add your privileges after
# that.
api:
# Your domain should be something like "michaelsasser.org" without the
# "matrix." in the front. MatrixCtl will add that, if needed. An IP-Address
# is not enough.
domain: example.com

# The username your admin user
username: johndoe

# To use the API you need to have an administrator account. Enter your Token
# here. If you use the element client you will find it your user settings
# (click on your username on the upper left corner on your browser) in the
# "Help & About" tab. If you scroll down click next to "Access-Token:" on
# "<click to reveal>". It will be marked for you. Copy it in here.
token: "MyMatrixToken"

# In some cases, MatrixCtl does need to make many requests. To speed those
# requests a notch, you can set a concurrent_limit which is greater than
# one. This sets a limit to how many asynchronous workers can be spawned
# by MatrixCtl. If you set the number to high, MatrixCtl needs more time
# to spawn the workers, then a synchronous request would take.
concurrent_limit: 10

# Here you can add your SSH configuration.
ssh:
address: matrix.example.com

# The default port is 22
port: 22

# The default username is your current login name.
user: john

# Define your maintenance tasks
maintenance:
tasks:
- compress-state # Compress synapses state table
- vacuum # VACUUM the synapse database (garbage-collection)

# Add connection parameters to the Database
# Synapse does only read (SELECT) information from the database.
# The user needs to be able to login to the synapse database
# and SELECT from the events and event_json tables.
database:
synapse_database: synapse # this is the playbooks default table name
synapse_user: matrixctl # the username (role) for the database
synapse_password: "RolePassword"
tunnel: true # true if an ssh tunnel should be used to connect

# The port that was used in the playbook (e.g.
# matrix_postgres_container_postgres_bind_port: 5432)
# or for your external database. For security reasons the port
# should be blocked by your firewall. Iy you enable the tunnel
# by setting tunnel: true, MatrixCtl activates a SSH tunnel.
port: 5432 # the remote port

# Another server.
foo:
# ...

Predefined Jinja2 placeholders (all placeholders can be overwritten):

"{{ home }}" -- The current users home path e.g. /home/michael,
"{{ user }}" -- The current users username e.g. michael,
"{{ default_ssh_port }}" -- The default ssh port 22,
"{{ default_api_concurrent_limit }}" -- The default concurrent limit 4.
