+# Setting up Appservice IRC (optional)
+
+The playbook can install and configure [matrix-appservice-irc](https://github.com/TeDomum/matrix-appservice-irc) for you.
+
+See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/TeDomum/matrix-appservice-irc/blob/master/HOWTO.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+The Appservice IRC bridge configuration using Ansible will require that you have `python-pyOpenSSL` installed on your local machine.
+
+You'll need to use the following playbook configuration:
+
+```yaml

+  #
+  # If you need something more special, you can take full control by
+  # completely redefining `matrix_appservice_irc_configuration_yaml`.
