Setting up the Shared Secret Auth password provider module (optional, advanced)
The playbook can install and configure matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth for you.
See that project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
Adjusting the playbook configuration
Add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml
file:
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_shared_secret_auth_enabled: true
# Generate a strong shared secret here. Consider generating it with `pwgen -s 64 1`
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_shared_secret_auth_shared_secret: YOUR_SHARED_SECRET_GOES_HERE
Authenticating only using a password provider
If you wish for users to authenticate only against configured password providers (like this one), without consulting Synapse's local database, feel free to disable it:
matrix_synapse_password_config_localdb_enabled: false
Installing
After configuring the playbook, run it with playbook tags as below:
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
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 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. Note these shortcuts run the ensure-matrix-users-created
tag too.
