Setting up MX Puppet GroupMe bridging (optional)

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

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

Adjusting the playbook configuration

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

matrix_mx_puppet_groupme_enabled: true

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 (2x-5x faster than just setup-all) 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

To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with GroupMe Puppet Bridge with the handle @_groupmepuppet_bot:example.com (where example.com is your base domain, not the matrix. domain).

One authentication method is available.

To link your GroupMe account, go to dev.groupme.com, sign in, and select "Access Token" from the top menu. Copy the token and message the bridge with:

link <access token>

Once logged in, send listrooms 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.
