# Setting up Buscarron (optional)
|
|
|
|
The playbook can install and configure [buscarron](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc/buscarron) for you.
|
|
|
|
It's a bot you can use to setup **your own helpdesk on matrix**
|
|
It's a bot you can use to send any form (HTTP POST, HTML) to a (encrypted) matrix room
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
|
|
|
|
Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_bot_buscarron_enabled: true
|
|
|
|
# Uncomment and adjust this part if you'd like to use a username different than the default
|
|
# matrix_bot_buscarron_login: bot.buscarron
|
|
|
|
# Generate a strong password here. Consider generating it with `pwgen -s 64 1`
|
|
matrix_bot_buscarron_password: PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT
|
|
|
|
# Adjust accepted forms
|
|
matrix_bot_buscarron_forms:
|
|
- name: contact # (mandatory) Your form name, will be used as endpoint, eg: buscarron.DOMAIN/contact
|
|
room: "!yourRoomID:DOMAIN" # (mandatory) Room ID where form submission will be posted
|
|
redirect: https://DOMAIN # (mandatory) To what page user will be redirected after the form submission
|
|
ratelimit: 1r/m # (optional) rate limit of the form, format: <max requests>r/<interval:s,m>, eg: 1r/s or 54r/m
|
|
hasemail: 1 # (optional) form has "email" field that should be validated
|
|
extensions: [] # (optional) list of form extensions (not used yet)
|
|
|
|
matrix_bot_buscarron_spamlist: [] # (optional) list of emails/domains/hosts (with wildcards support) that should be rejected automatically
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will also need to add a DNS record so that buscarron can be accessed.
|
|
By default buscarron will use https://buscarron.DOMAIN so you will need to create an CNAME record for `buscarron`.
|
|
See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md).
|
|
|
|
If you would like to use a different domain, add the following to your configuration file (changing it to use your preferred domain):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_server_fqn_buscarron: "form.{{ matrix_domain }}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
- if you change the bot password (`matrix_bot_buscarron_password` in your `vars.yml` file) subsequently, the bot user's credentials on the homeserver won't be updated automatically. If you'd like to change the bot user's password, use a tool like [synapse-admin](configuring-playbook-synapse-admin.md) to change it, and then update `matrix_bot_buscarron_password` to let the bot know its new password
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To use the bot, invite the `@bot.buscarron:DOMAIN` to the room you specified in a config, after that any point your form to the form url, example for the `contact` form:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<form method="POST" action="https://buscarron.DOMAIN/contact">
|
|
<!--your fields-->
|
|
</form>
|
|
```
|
|
