Setting up mx-puppet-instagram (optional)

The playbook can install and configure mx-puppet-instagram for you.

This allows you to bridge Instagram DirectMessages into Matrix.

Adjusting the playbook configuration

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

matrix_mx_puppet_instagram_enabled: true

Installing

After configuring the playbook, run the installation command: just install-all or just setup-all

Usage

Once the bot is enabled, you need to start a chat with Instagram Puppet Bridge with the handle @_instagrampuppet_bot:example.com (where example.com is your base domain, not the matrix. domain).

Send link <username> <password> to the bridge bot to link your instagram account.

The list commands shows which accounts are linked and which puppetId is associated.

For double-puppeting, you probably want to issue these commands:

• settype $puppetId puppet to enable puppeting for the link (instead of relaying)
• setautoinvite $puppetId 1 to automatically invite you to chats
• setmatrixtoken $accessToken to set the access token to enable puppeting from the other side (the "double" in double puppeting)

If you are linking only one Instagram account, your $puppetId is probably 1, but use the list command find out.

The help command shows which commands are available, though at the time of writing, not every command is fully implemented.
