Slavi Pantaleev eb0af09bf5 Remove the appservice-kakaotalk bridge 
The bridge could only be installed by self-building its source code,
and its upstream repository (on src.miscworks.net) has become
unreachable (the Internet Archive last saw it alive in May 2026),
making installation impossible. The bridge was also based on the
long-unmaintained node-kakao library and carried a warning that using
it may get KakaoTalk accounts banned.

The playbook catches leftover matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_* variables
and points users to the manual uninstallation instructions.

# Matrix (An open network for secure, decentralized communication) server setup using Ansible and Docker
## 🎯 Purpose
This [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) playbook is meant to help you run your own [Matrix](http://matrix.org/) homeserver, along with the [various services](#-supported-services) related to that.
That is, it lets you join the Matrix network using your own user ID like `@alice:example.com`, all hosted on your own server (see [prerequisites](docs/prerequisites.md)).
We run all [supported services](#-supported-services) in [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) containers (see [the container images we use](docs/container-images.md)), which lets us have a predictable and up-to-date setup, across multiple supported distros (see [prerequisites](docs/prerequisites.md)) and [architectures](docs/alternative-architectures.md) (x86/amd64 being recommended).
Installation (upgrades) and some maintenance tasks are automated using [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) (see [our Ansible guide](docs/ansible.md)).
## ☁ Self-hosting or Managed / SaaS
This Ansible playbook tries to make self-hosting and maintaining a Matrix server fairly easy (see [Getting started](#-getting-started)). Still, running any service smoothly requires knowledge, time and effort.
If you like the [FOSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software) spirit of this Ansible playbook, but prefer to put the responsibility on someone else, you can also [get a managed Matrix server from etke.cc](https://etke.cc?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) (both hosting and on-premises) - a service built on top of this Ansible playbook but with [additional components](https://etke.cc/help/extras/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) and [services](https://etke.cc/services/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mdad) which all help you run a Matrix server with ease. Be advised that etke.cc operates on a subscription-based approach and there is no "just set up my server once and be done with it" option.
## 🚀 Getting started
We have detailed documentation in the [docs/](./docs) directory - see the Table of Contents in the [documentation README](./docs/README.md).
While the [list of supported services](#-supported-services) and documentation is very extensive, you don't need to read through everything. We recommend:
- Starting with the basics. You can always add/remove or tweak services later on.
- Following our installation guide. There are two guides available for beginners and advanced users:
- ⚡ **[Quick start](./docs/quick-start.md) (for beginners)**: this is recommended for those who do not have an existing Matrix server and want to start quickly with "opinionated defaults".
- **Full installation guide (for advanced users)**: if you need to import an existing Matrix server's data into the new server or want to learn more while setting up the server, follow this guide by starting with the **[Prerequisites](./docs/prerequisites.md)** documentation page.
If you experience an issue on configuring the playbook, setting up your server, maintaining services on it, etc., please take a look at our [FAQ](./docs/faq.md). If you cannot find an answer to your question, feel free to ask for [help and support](#-support).
## ✔ Supported services
Using this playbook, you can get the following list of services configured on your server. Basically, this playbook aims to get you up-and-running with all the necessities around Matrix, without you having to do anything else.
**Notes**:
- The list below is exhaustive. It includes optional or even some advanced components that you will most likely not need. Sticking with the defaults (which install a subset of the above components) is the best choice, especially for a new installation. You can always re-run the playbook later to add or remove components.
- Deprecated or unmaintained services are not listed. You can find documentations for them [here](docs/configuring-playbook.md#deprecated--unmaintained--removed-services).

You may also be interested in [mash-playbook](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook) - another Ansible playbook for self-hosting non-Matrix services (see its [List of supported services](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook/blob/main/docs/supported-services.md)).
mash-playbook also makes use of [Traefik](./docs/configuring-playbook-traefik.md) as its reverse-proxy, so with minor [interoperability adjustments](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook/blob/main/docs/interoperability.md), you can make matrix-docker-ansible-deploy and mash-playbook co-exist and host Matrix and non-Matrix services on the same server.
