## Installing
|
||||
|
||||
After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
|
||||
```
|
||||
After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again (`just install-all`):
|
||||
|
||||
**Notes**:
|
||||
|
||||
- the `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account
|
||||
|
||||
- if you change the bot password (`matrix_bot_maubot_initial_password` in your `vars.yml` file) subsequently,
|
||||
the bot user's credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically.
|
||||
If you'd like to change the bot user's password, use a tool like [synapse-admin](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) to change it.

You can visit `matrix.<your-domain>/_matrix/maubot/` to manage your available plugins, clients and instances.
|
||||
|
||||
You should start in the following order
|
||||
1. **Create one or more clients:** A client is a matrix account which the bot will use to message.
|
||||
1. **Create one or more clients:** A client is a matrix account which the bot will use to message. By default, the playbook creates a `bot.maubot` account (as per the configuration above). You only need to [obtain an access token](#obtaining-an-access-token) for it
|
||||
2. **Upload some Plugins:** Plugins can be obtained from [here](https://github.com/maubot/maubot#plugins) or any other source.
|
||||
3. **Create an instance:** An instance is the actual bot. You have to specify a client which the bot instance will use
|
||||
and the plugin (how the bot will behave)
|
||||
|
||||
To add a client you first need to create an account and obtain a valid access token.
|
||||
## Obtaining an access token
|
||||
|
||||
## Registering the bot user
|
||||
This can be done via `mbc login` then `mbc auth` (see the [maubot documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/maubot/usage/cli/auth.html)). To run these commands, you'll first need to `exec` into the maubot container with `docker exec -it matrix-bot-maubot sh`.
|
||||
|
||||
You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot. You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.maubot password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=yes' --tags=register-user
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: `pwgen -s 64 1`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Obtaining an admin access token
|
||||
|
||||
This can be done via `mbc login` then `mbc auth` (see the [maubot documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/maubot/usage/cli/auth.html)). To run these commands you'll need to open the bot docker container with `docker exec -it matrix-bot-maubot sh`
|
||||
Alternatively, use Element or curl to [obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
|
||||
Alternatively, you can follow our generic [obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md) documentation.
