Setting up MX Puppet Instagram bridging (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.example.com/vars.yml
file:
matrix_mx_puppet_instagram_enabled: true
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
orjust setup-all
just install-all
is useful for maintaining your setup quickly (2x-5x faster thanjust setup-all
) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust yourvars.yml
to remove other components, you'd need to runjust setup-all
, or these components will still remain installed.
Usage
To use the bridge, 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 chatssetmatrixtoken $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.
Send help
to the bot to see the available commands. At the time of writing, not every command is fully implemented.
