Setting up Mautrix gmessages (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.

Use the following playbook configuration:

matrix_mautrix_gmessages_enabled: true

Set up Double Puppeting

If you'd like to use Double Puppeting (hint: you most likely do), 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 service for this playbook.

Enabling Appservice Double Puppet 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).

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-gmessages device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature

Usage

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