# Setting up a Generic Mautrix Bridge (optional)
|
|
|
|
The playbook can install and configure various [mautrix](https://github.com/mautrix) bridges (twitter, facebook, instagram, signal, hangouts, googlechat, etc.), as well as many other (non-mautrix) bridges.
|
|
This is a common guide for configuring mautrix bridges.
|
|
|
|
You can see each bridge's features at in the `ROADMAP.md` file in its corresponding [mautrix](https://github.com/mautrix) repository.
|
|
|
|
To enable a bridge add:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Replace SERVICENAME with one of: twitter, facebook, instagram, ..
|
|
matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to your `vars.yml`
|
|
|
|
There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge before you continue. Each bridge may have additional requirements besides `_enabled: true`. For example, the mautrix-telegram bridge (our documentation page about it is [here](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-telegram.md)) requires the `matrix_mautrix_telegram_api_id` and `matrix_mautrix_telegram_api_hash` variables to be defined. Refer to each bridge's individual documentation page for details about enabling bridges.
|
|
|
|
You can add
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_admin: "@YOUR_USERNAME:{{ matrix_domain }}"
|
|
```
|
|
to `vars.yml` to **configure a user as an administrator for all bridges**.
|
|
**Alternatively** (more verbose, but allows multiple admins to be configured), you can do the same on a per-bridge basis with:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml: |
|
|
bridge:
|
|
permissions:
|
|
'@YOUR_USERNAME:{{ matrix_domain }}': admin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## encryption
|
|
|
|
Encryption support is off by default. If you would like to enable encryption, add the following to your `vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
**for all bridges with encryption support**:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_bridges_encryption_enabled: true
|
|
matrix_bridges_encryption_default: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Alternatively**, for a specific bridge:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_bridge_encryption_enabled: true
|
|
matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_bridge_encryption_default: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## relay mode
|
|
|
|
Relay mode is off by default. If you would like to enable relay mode, add the following to your `vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
**for all bridges with relay mode support**:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_bridges_relay_enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Alternatively**, for a specific bridge:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml: |
|
|
bridge:
|
|
relay:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can only have one `matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml` definition in `vars.yml` per bridge, so if you need multiple pieces of configuration there, just merge them like this:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_configuration_extension_yaml: |
|
|
bridge:
|
|
permissions:
|
|
'@YOUR_USERNAME:{{ matrix_domain }}': admin
|
|
encryption:
|
|
allow: true
|
|
default: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setting the bot's username
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_appservice_bot_username: "BOTNAME"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Can be used to set the username for the bridge.
|
|
|
|
## Discovering additional configuration options
|
|
|
|
You may wish to look at `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-SERVICENAME/templates/config.yaml.j2` and `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-SERVICENAME/defaults/main.yml` to find other things you would like to configure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Set up Double Puppeting
|
|
|
|
To set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) enable the [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service for this playbook.
|
|
|
|
The bridge will automatically perform Double Puppeting if you enable [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) for this playbook by adding
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_appservice_double_puppet_enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
|
|
|
|
## Controlling the logging level
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_mautrix_SERVICENAME_logging_level: WARN
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to `vars.yml` to control the logging level, where you may replace WARN with one of the following to control the verbosity of the logs generated: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, or FATAL.
|
|
|
|
If you have issues with a service, and are requesting support, the higher levels of logging will generally be more helpful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
You then need to start a chat with `@SERVICENAMEbot:YOUR_DOMAIN` (where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
|
|
|
|
Send `login ` to the bridge bot to get started You can learn more here about authentication from the bridge's official documentation on Authentication https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/python/SERVICENAME/authentication.html .
|
|
|
|
If you run into trouble, check the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
For troubleshooting information with a specific bridge, please see the playbook documentation about it (some other document in in `docs/`) and the upstream ([mautrix](https://github.com/mautrix)) bridge documentation for that specific bridge.
|
|
Reporting bridge bugs should happen upstream, in the corresponding mautrix repository, not to us.
