Setting up Mautrix Twitter (optional)

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

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

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

Set up Double Puppeting

If you'd like to use Double Puppeting (hint: you most likely do), you have 2 ways of going about it.

Method 1: automatically, by enabling Shared Secret Auth

The bridge will automatically perform Double Puppeting if you enable Shared Secret Auth for this playbook.

This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.

Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token

This method is currently not available for the Mautrix-Twitter bridge, but is on the roadmap under Misc/Manual login with login-matrix

Usage

1. You then need to start a chat with @twitterbot:YOUR_DOMAIN (where YOUR_DOMAIN is your base domain, not the matrix. domain).
2. Send login-cookie to start the login. The bot should respond with instructions on how to proceed.

You can learn more here about authentication from the bridge's official documentation on Authentication.

If you run into trouble, check the Troubleshooting section below.

After successfully enabling bridging, you may wish to set up Double Puppeting, if you haven't already done so.
