Edit installing instructions (#3844)
* Replace "just run-tags install-all/setup-all,start" with "just install-all/setup-all"

Thanks to the tip by Slavi that the overhead of ensure-matrix-users-created is negligible.

* Edit installing instructions

- Move the anchor links to docs/just.md
- Add note about running "ensure-matrix-users-created" tags, if ansible-playbook's tags not "setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start", ie. either "setup-all,start", "setup-email2matrix,start", "setup-aux-files,setup-corporal,start", or "setup-matrix-user-verification-service,start"

* Update descriptions about installation

- Introduce the most conservative and stable raw ansible-playbook command.
- Introduce the just commands on installing.md and maintenance-upgrading-services.md, not on quick-start.md, since it is too early for quick start guide readers who are just starting to climb learning curve to use the shortcuts.

* Update docs/configuring-playbook-etherpad.md: remove the note about ensure-matrix-users-created

Setting up MX Puppet Twitter bridging (optional)

Note: bridging to Twitter can also happen via the mautrix-twitter bridge supported by the playbook.

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

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

Prerequisite

Make an app on developer.twitter.com.

Adjusting the playbook configuration

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

matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_enabled: true
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_consumer_key: ''
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_consumer_secret: ''
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_access_token: ''
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_access_token_secret: ''
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_environment: ''

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 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.

Usage

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

To log in, use link and click the link.

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.
