# Setting up Appservice Discord bridging (optional)
|
|
|
|
**Note**: bridging to [Discord](https://discordapp.com/) can also happen via the [mx-puppet-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-mx-puppet-discord.md) and [mautrix-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-discord.md) bridges supported by the playbook.
|
|
- For using as a Bot we are recommend the Appservice Discord bridge (the one being discussed here), because it supports plumbing.
|
|
- For personal use we recommend the [mautrix-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-discord.md) 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 [matrix-appservice-discord](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-discord) for you.
|
|
|
|
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-discord/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Create a Discord Application [here](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications). Then retrieve Client ID, and create a bot from the Bot tab and retrieve the Bot token.
|
|
|
|
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_appservice_discord_enabled: true
|
|
matrix_appservice_discord_client_id: "YOUR DISCORD APP CLIENT ID"
|
|
matrix_appservice_discord_bot_token: "YOUR DISCORD APP BOT TOKEN"
|
|
|
|
# As of Synapse 1.90.0, uncomment to enable the backwards compatibility (https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrade#upgrading-to-v1900) that this bridge needs.
|
|
# Note: This deprecated method is considered insecure.
|
|
#
|
|
# matrix_synapse_configuration_extension_yaml: |
|
|
# use_appservice_legacy_authorization: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
|
|
|
|
`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) 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.
|
|
|
|
## Self-Service Bridging (Manual)
|
|
|
|
Self-service bridging allows you to bridge specific and existing Matrix rooms to specific Discord rooms. To enable it, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_appservice_discord_bridge_enableSelfServiceBridging: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note**: If self-service bridging is not enabled, `!discord help` commands will return no results.
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
Once self-service is enabled, start a chat with `@_discord_bot:example.com` and say `!discord help bridge`.
|
|
|
|
Then, follow the instructions in the help output message.
|
|
|
|
If the bot is not already in the Discord server, follow the provided invite link. This may require you to be a administrator of the Discord server.
|
|
|
|
On the Discord side, you can say `!matrix help` to get a list of available commands to manage the bridge and Matrix users.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Encrypted Matrix rooms are not supported as of writing.
|
|
|
|
## Portal Bridging (Automatic)
|
|
|
|
Through portal bridging, Matrix rooms will automatically be created by the bot and bridged to the relevant Discord room. This is done by simply joining a room with a specific name pattern (`#_discord_<guildID>_<channelID>`).
|
|
|
|
All Matrix rooms created this way are **listed publicly** by default, and you will not have admin permissions to change this. To get more control, [make yourself a room Administrator](#getting-administrator-access-in-a-portal-bridged-room). You can then unlist the room from the directory and change the join rules.
|
|
|
|
To disable portal bridging, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_appservice_discord_bridge_disablePortalBridging: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
To get started with Portal Bridging:
|
|
|
|
1. To invite the bot to Discord, retrieve the invite link from the `{{ matrix_appservice_discord_config_path }}/invite_link` file on the server (this defaults to `/matrix/appservice-discord/config/invite_link`). You need to peek at the file on the server via SSH, etc., because it's not available via HTTP(S).
|
|
2. Room addresses follow this syntax: `#_discord_<guildID>_<channelID>`. You can easily find the guild and channel IDs by logging into Discord in a browser and opening the desired channel. The URL will have this format: `discord.com/channels/<guildID>/<channelID>`.
|
|
3. Once you have figured out the appropriate room address, you can join by doing `/join #_discord_<guildID>_<channelID>` in your Matrix client.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Administrator access in a portal bridged room
|
|
|
|
By default, you won't have Administrator access in rooms created by the bridge.
|
|
|
|
To adjust room access privileges or do various other things (change the room name subsequently, etc.), you'd wish to become an Administrator.
|
|
|
|
There's the Discord bridge's guide for [setting privileges on bridge managed rooms](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-discord/blob/master/docs/howto.md#set-privileges-on-bridge-managed-rooms). To do the same with our container setup, run the following command on the server:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker exec -it matrix-appservice-discord \
|
|
/bin/sh -c 'cp /cfg/registration.yaml /tmp/discord-registration.yaml && cd /tmp && node /build/tools/adminme.js -c /cfg/config.yaml -m "!qporfwt:example.com" -u "@USER:example.com" -p 100'
|
|
```
