Edit installing instructions (#3844) 
* Replace "just run-tags install-all/setup-all,start" with "just install-all/setup-all"

Thanks to the tip by Slavi that the overhead of ensure-matrix-users-created is negligible.

* Edit installing instructions

- Move the anchor links to docs/just.md
- Add note about running "ensure-matrix-users-created" tags, if ansible-playbook's tags not "setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start", ie. either "setup-all,start", "setup-email2matrix,start", "setup-aux-files,setup-corporal,start", or "setup-matrix-user-verification-service,start"

* Update descriptions about installation

- Introduce the most conservative and stable raw ansible-playbook command.
- Introduce the just commands on installing.md and maintenance-upgrading-services.md, not on quick-start.md, since it is too early for quick start guide readers who are just starting to climb learning curve to use the shortcuts.

* Update docs/configuring-playbook-etherpad.md: remove the note about ensure-matrix-users-created

Setting up Appservice IRC bridging (optional)

Note: bridging to IRC can also happen via the Heisenbridge bridge supported by the playbook.

The playbook can install and configure the matrix-appservice-irc bridge for you.

See the project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

Adjusting the playbook configuration

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

matrix_appservice_irc_enabled: true

matrix_appservice_irc_ircService_servers:
  irc.example.com:
    name: "ExampleNet"
    port: 6697
    ssl: true
    sasl: false
    allowExpiredCerts: false
    sendConnectionMessages: true
    botConfig:
      enabled: true
      nick: "MatrixBot"
      joinChannelsIfNoUsers: true
    privateMessages:
      enabled: true
      federate: true
    dynamicChannels:
      enabled: true
      createAlias: true
      published: true
      joinRule: public
      groupId: +myircnetwork:localhost
      federate: true
      aliasTemplate: "#irc_$CHANNEL"
    membershipLists:
      enabled: false
      floodDelayMs: 10000
      global:
        ircToMatrix:
          initial: false
          incremental: false
        matrixToIrc:
          initial: false
          incremental: false
    matrixClients:
      userTemplate: "@irc_$NICK"
      displayName: "$NICK (IRC)"
      joinAttempts: -1
    ircClients:
      nickTemplate: "$DISPLAY[m]"
      allowNickChanges: true
      maxClients: 30
      idleTimeout: 10800
      reconnectIntervalMs: 5000
      concurrentReconnectLimit: 50
      lineLimit: 3

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 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

You then need to start a chat with @irc_bot:example.com (where example.com is your base domain, not the matrix. domain).
