Recategorize Postmoogle (#3696)
* Update configuring-playbook.md: move a link for docs/configuring-playbook-bot-postmoogle.md to Bots section

The document (on 9c2a8addee93910cb9079f856bc3fb3932592c91; initial commit to add Postmoogle) says:
> Postmoogle is a bot/bridge you can use to forward emails to Matrix rooms

Therefore it is not really incorrect to categorize Postmoogle as bridge document-wise, but since the list on README.md categorizes it as a bot, and based on the file name of the documentation, this commit moves the link for Postmoogle to the Bots section.

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.

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.
