# Setting up WeChat bridging (optional)
|
|
|
|
The playbook can install and configure [matrix-wechat](https://github.com/duo/matrix-wechat) for you, for bridging to [WeChat](https://www.wechat.com/).
|
|
|
|
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/duo/matrix-wechat/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> This bridge does not work against newer versions of Synapse anymore. See [this issue](https://github.com/duo/matrix-wechat/issues/33). Don't even bother installing it. Unless bridge maintenance is resumed and fixes this issue, we have no choice but to remove it from the playbook.
|
|
|
|
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_wechat_enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Extending the configuration
|
|
|
|
There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
|
|
|
|
Take a look at:
|
|
|
|
- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-wechat/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
|
|
- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-wechat/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_wechat_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
|
|
|
|
<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
|
|
```sh
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Notes**:
|
|
|
|
- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
|
|
|
|
`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) 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 `@wechatbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
|
|
|
|
Send `help` to the bot to see the available commands.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-bridge-wechat`.
|
|
|
|
### Increase logging verbosity
|
|
|
|
The default logging level for this component is `warn`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Valid values: fatal, error, warn, info, debug
|
|
matrix_wechat_log_level: 'debug'
|
|
```
