Most cloud providers / ISPs will charge you extra for a static IP address. If you're
|
|
|
|
|
not hosting a highly reliable homeserver you can workaround this via dynamic DNS. To
|
|
|
|
|
set this up, you'll need to get the username/password from your DNS provider. For
|
|
|
|
|
google domains, this process is described [here](https://support.google.com/domains/answer/6147083).

After you've gotten the proper credentials you can add the following config to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml:

|

}}
