Setting up Mautrix wsproxy for bridging Android SMS or Apple iMessage (optional)

The playbook can install and configure mautrix-wsproxy for you.

See the project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

Adjusting the playbook configuration

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

matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_enabled: true

matrix_mautrix_androidsms_appservice_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_mautrix_androidsms_homeserver_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_mautrix_imessage_appservice_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_mautrix_imessage_homeserver_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_syncproxy_shared_secret: 'secret token from bridge'

Note that the tokens must match what is compiled into the mautrix-imessage bridge running on your Mac or Android device.

Adjusting the wsproxy URL

By default, this playbook installs wsproxy on the wsproxy. subdomain (wsproxy.example.com) and requires you to adjust your DNS records.

By tweaking the matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_hostname variable, you can easily make the service available at a different hostname than the default one.

Example additional configuration for your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:

# Change the default hostname
matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_hostname: ws.example.com

Adjusting DNS records

Once you've decided on the domain, you may need to adjust your DNS records to point the wsproxy domain to the Matrix server.

By default, you will need to create a CNAME record for wsproxy. See Configuring DNS for details about DNS changes.

Installing

After configuring the playbook and potentially adjusting your DNS records, run the playbook 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 the just program are also available: just install-all or just setup-all

    just install-all is useful for maintaining your setup quickly (2x-5x faster 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.

Usage

Follow the mautrix-imessage documenation for running android-sms and/or matrix-imessage on your device(s).
