* Add matrix-registration-bot This adds an install and uninstall task plus helpers. The bot is disabled by default. This commit does not include documentation, yet. In short, the bot can be enabled by adding matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_enabled: true matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_matrix_user_password: "verysecret" matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_matrix_admin_token: "supersecret" to the host_vars * Change bot username to bot.matrix-registration-bot following convention * Address smaller remarks, fix local docker build * Switch to an env file * Add environment variables extension for additional config * Add documentation for the matrix-registration-bot * Add screenshot on how to obtain admin access token * Use bot as admin to only have one access token (bot and admin api) * Use cleaner setting of matrix_synapse_registration_requires_token * Use config file for cleaner more secure usage * Delete unneeded env * Rename vars to make usage clear * Fix typos/wording and add notice about logging out * Convert configuration to use |to_json * Reorder role includes Nothing should be after `matrix-common-after`. `matrix-bot-matrix-registration-bot` can probably be anywhere, but it makes sense to put it next to the other `matrix-bot-*` roles. * Minor group_vars/matrix_servers touchups Co-authored-by: Slavi Pantaleev <slavi@devture.com>

Configuring the Ansible playbook
To configure the playbook, you need to have done the following things:
- have a server where Matrix services will run
- configured your DNS records
- retrieved the playbook's source code to your computer
You can then follow these steps inside the playbook directory:
-
create a directory to hold your configuration (
mkdir inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>
) -
copy the sample configuration file (
cp examples/vars.yml inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml
) -
edit the configuration file (
inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml
) to your liking. You may also take a look at the variousroles/ROLE_NAME_HERE/defaults/main.yml
files and see if there's something you'd like to copy over and override in yourvars.yml
configuration file. -
copy the sample inventory hosts file (
cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts
) -
edit the inventory hosts file (
inventory/hosts
) to your liking
For a basic Matrix installation, that's all you need. For a more custom setup, see the Other configuration options below.
When you're done with all the configuration you'd like to do, continue with Installing.
