# Setting up matrix-sms-bridge (optional) The playbook can install and configure [matrix-sms-bridge](https://github.com/benkuly/matrix-sms-bridge) for you. See the project page to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you. **The bridge uses [android-sms-gateway-server](https://github.com/RebekkaMa/android-sms-gateway-server). You need to configure it first.** ## Adjusting the playbook configuration To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file: ```yaml matrix_sms_bridge_enabled: true # (optional but recommended) a room ID to a default room matrix_sms_bridge_default_room: "" # (optional but recommended) configure your server location matrix_sms_bridge_default_region: DE matrix_sms_bridge_default_timezone: Europe/Berlin # Settings to connect to android-sms-gateway-server matrix_sms_bridge_provider_android_baseurl: https://192.168.24.24:9090 matrix_sms_bridge_provider_android_username: admin matrix_sms_bridge_provider_android_password: supeSecretPassword # (optional) if your android-sms-gateway-server uses a self signed vertificate, the bridge needs a "truststore". This can be the certificate itself. matrix_sms_bridge_provider_android_truststore_local_path: android-sms-gateway-server.p12 matrix_sms_bridge_provider_android_truststore_password: 123 ``` ## Installing After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command: `just install-all` or `just setup-all` ## Usage Read the [user guide](https://github.com/benkuly/matrix-sms-bridge/blob/master/README.md#user-guide) to see how this bridge works.
