This reverts commit bf95ad2235.
This was a bad idea.
It's better to have people manually define the password.
Otherwise, `matrix_homeserver_generic_secret_key` changing some day in
the future would break the bot and one would have to figure out how to
reset its password manually.
Using an explicit password is more stable.

Setting up matrix-registration-bot (optional)
The playbook can install and configure matrix-registration-bot for you.
The bot allows you to easily create and manage registration tokens aka. invitation codes.
It can be used for an invitation-based server,
where you invite someone by sending them a registration token (loook like this: rbalQ0zkaDSRQCOp). They can register as normal but have to provide a valid registration token in a final step of the registration.
See the project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
Configuration
To enable the bot, add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml file:
matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_enabled: true
# By default, the playbook will set use the bot with a username like this: `@bot.matrix-registration-bot:DOMAIN`.
# To use a different username, uncomment & adjust the variable below:
# matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_matrix_user_id_localpart: bot.matrix-registration-bot
# Generate a strong password here. Consider generating it with `pwgen -s 64 1`
matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_bot_password: PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT
# Enables registration
matrix_synapse_enable_registration: true
# Restrict registration to users with a token
matrix_synapse_registration_requires_token: true
The bot account will be created automatically.
Installing
After configuring the playbook, re-run the installation command again: just install-all or just setup-all
Usage
To use the bot, message @bot.matrix-registration-bot:DOMAIN (where DOMAIN is your base domain, not the matrix. domain).
In this room send help and the bot will reply with all options.
You can also refer to the upstream Usage documentation. If you have any questions, or if you need help setting it up, read the troublshooting guide or join #matrix-registration-bot:hyteck.de.
To clean the cache (session&encryption data) after you changed the bot's username, changed the login methon form access_token to password etc.. you can use
just run-tags bot-matrix-registration-bot-clean-cache
