# Setting up Appservice Double Puppet (optional)
Appservice Double Puppet is a homeserver appservice through which bridges (and potentially other services) can impersonate any user on the homeserver.
This is useful for performing [double-puppeting ](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html ) via the [appservice method ](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html#appservice-method-new ). The Appservice Double Puppet service is an implementation of this approach.
Previously, bridges supported performing [double-puppeting ](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html ) with the help of the [Shared Secret Auth password provider module ](./configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md ), but this old and hacky solution has been superseded by this Appservice Double Puppet method.

## Adjusting the playbook configuration
2024-10-17 13:17:56 +00:00
To enable the Appservice Double Puppet service, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
2024-08-17 16:00:16 +00:00
2024-11-28 09:33:56 +00:00
```yaml
2024-08-17 16:00:16 +00:00
matrix_appservice_double_puppet_enabled: true
```

## Installing
2024-12-01 07:42:30 +00:00
After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags ](playbook-tags.md ) as below:
<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install - all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
```sh
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
```
**Notes**:
- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
Edit installing instructions (#3844)
* Replace "just run-tags install-all/setup-all,start" with "just install-all/setup-all"
Thanks to the tip by Slavi that the overhead of ensure-matrix-users-created is negligible.

* Edit installing instructions
- Move the anchor links to docs/just.md
- Add note about running "ensure-matrix-users-created" tags, if ansible-playbook's tags not "setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start", ie. either "setup-all,start", "setup-email2matrix,start", "setup-aux-files,setup-corporal,start", or "setup-matrix-user-verification-service,start"

* Update descriptions about installation
- Introduce the most conservative and stable raw ansible-playbook command.
- Introduce the just commands on installing.md and maintenance-upgrading-services.md, not on quick-start.md, since it is too early for quick start guide readers who are just starting to climb learning curve to use the shortcuts.

`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all` , or these components will still remain installed.

## Usage
2024-08-17 16:00:16 +00:00
When enabled, double puppeting will automatically be enabled for all bridges that support double puppeting via the appservice method.
