Enabling Appservice Double Puppet is contrasted with "Enabling double puppeting by enabling the Shared Secret Auth service", therefore it can be just called as "this" if Shared Secret Auth service is not mentioned below. Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org>

Setting up Mautrix Google Messages bridging (optional)
The playbook can install and configure mautrix-gmessages for you, for bridging to Google Messages.
See the project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
Prerequisite (optional)
If you want to set up Double Puppeting (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled Appservice Double Puppet for this playbook.
For details about configuring Double Puppeting for this bridge, see the section below: Set up Double Puppeting
Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file:
matrix_mautrix_gmessages_enabled: true
Installing
After configuring the playbook, run the installation 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 (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 automatically performs Double Puppeting if Appservice Double Puppet service is configured and enabled on the server for this playbook.
This 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
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.
-
send the access token to the bot. Example:
login-matrix MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE -
make sure you don't log out the
Mautrix-gmessagesdevice some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
