The changes in this commit reflect double puppeting configuration flow. Since the docs claim that double puppeting can be set up after enabling bridges by chatting with the bridge's bot, the explanation about double puppeting may well be placed under "Usage" as subsection.

# Setting up Mautrix Google Messages bridging (optional)
|
|
|
|
The playbook can install and configure [mautrix-gmessages](https://github.com/mautrix/gmessages) for you, for bridging to [Google Messages](https://messages.google.com/).
|
|
|
|
See the project's [documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/gmessages/index.html) 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:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_mautrix_gmessages_enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
You then need to start a chat with `@gmessagesbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
|
|
|
|
### Set up Double Puppeting
|
|
|
|
After successfully enabling bridging, you may wish to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do).
|
|
|
|
To set it up, you have 2 ways of going about it.
|
|
|
|
#### Method 1: automatically, by enabling Appservice Double Puppet
|
|
|
|
The bridge will automatically perform Double Puppeting if you enable the [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) service for this playbook.
|
|
|
|
Enabling [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
|
|
|
|
#### Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token
|
|
|
|
**Note**: This method for enabling Double Puppeting can be configured only after you've already set up bridging (see [Usage](#usage)).
|
|
|
|
When using this method, **each user** that wishes to enable Double Puppeting needs to follow the following steps:
|
|
|
|
- retrieve a Matrix access token for yourself. Refer to the documentation on [how to do that](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
|
|
|
|
- send the access token to the bot. Example: `login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`
|
|
|
|
- make sure you don't log out the `Mautrix-gmessages` device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
