Edit descriptions about installation of components (#3842)
* Replace installation command shortcut for the "just" program with the most conservative raw ansible-playbook command

This commit replaces installation command shortcut ("recipe") for the "just" program with the raw ansible-playbook command, so that the shortcut will be added to it later. The command is so conservative that failure of the command will mean something is clearly broken.

* Add comments about using setup-all instead of install-all

* Add description about shortcut command with the "just" program to the ansible-playbook command with "setup-all" and "start" tags

It also explains difference between "just install-all" and "just setup-all" recipes. The explanation is based on docs/playbook-tags.md

* Update raw ansible-playbook command to have it do what "just install-all" or "just setup-all" does

Since "just install-all" or "just setup-all" invokes "ensure-matrix-users-created" as well, it needs adding to the raw ansible-playbook command.

* Remove "ensure-matrix-users-created" from the raw ansible-playbook command which does not need it

Also: update the "just" recipes accordingly. "just install-all" and "just setup-all" run "ensure-matrix-users-created" tag as well, therefore they need to be replaced with "run-tags" recipes to skip "ensure-matrix-users-created"

* Update docs/configuring-playbook-etherpad.md: add ensure-matrix-users-created to the raw ansible-playbook

* Add description about "ensure-matrix-users-created" and create a list with description about shortcut commands with "just"

This commit also fixes list item capitalization and punctuation.

* Replace "run the installation command" with "run the playbook with tags"

Now that shortcut commands for the "just" program are displayed along with the existing "installation command", this commit replaces "run the installation command" with "run the playbook with tags" in order to prevent misunderstanding and confusion.

Such a kind of direction is not used on other documentation, so it should be fine to just remove it.

Setting up MX Puppet Discord bridging (optional)

Note: bridging to Discord can also happen via the matrix-appservice-discordand mautrix-discord bridges supported by the playbook.

  • For using as a Bot we recommend the Appservice Discord, because it supports plumbing.
  • For personal use with a discord account we recommend the mautrix-discord bridge, because it is the most fully-featured and stable of the 3 Discord bridges supported by the playbook.

The playbook can install and configure mx-puppet-discord for you.

See the project page to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

Adjusting the playbook configuration

To enable the Discord bridge, add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:

matrix_mx_puppet_discord_enabled: true

Installing

After configuring the playbook, run it with playbook tags as below:

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.

  • The shortcut commands with just program are also available: just install-all or just setup-all

    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. For more information about just shortcuts, take a look at this page: Running just commands

Usage

Once the bot is enabled you need to start a chat with Discord Puppet Bridge with the handle @_discordpuppet_bot:example.com (where example.com is your base domain, not the matrix. domain).

Three authentication methods are available, Legacy Token, OAuth and xoxc token. See mx-puppet-discord documentation for more information about how to configure the bridge.

Once logged in, send list to the bot user to list the available rooms.

Clicking rooms in the list will result in you receiving an invitation to the bridged room.

Also send help to the bot to see the commands available.
