Make instructions simpler and safer 
Changes to the original are:
- it tells people to stop and disable services, so that:
   - services won't be running while you are copying files
   - services won't accidentally start again later
- it does the file-copying in 1 step
- it does copying before running `--tags=setup-all`, so that existing files (SSL certificates, etc.) can be reused. Otherwise, the playbook starts from a blank slate, retrieves them anew, generates new signing keys anew, etc. Only to have those replaced by your own old backup later.
- it mentions DNS changes
- combines `--tags=setup-all,start` into a single step, thanks to the files being already copied

Raw Blame History

Migrating to new server

  1. Prepare by lowering DNS TTL for your domains (matrix.DOMAIN, etc.), so that DNS record changes (step 4 below) would happen faster, leading ot less downtime
  2. Stop all services on the old server and make sure they won't be starting again. Execute this on the old server: systemctl disable --now matrix*
  3. Copy directory /matrix from the old server to the new server. Make sure to preserve ownership and permissions (use cp -p or rsync -ar)!
  4. Make sure your DNS records are adjusted to point to the new server's IP address
  5. Remove old server from the inventory/hosts file and add new server.
  6. Run ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start. This will create the matrix user and group and start all services on the new server
