# Setting up Go-NEB (optional)

The playbook can install and configure [Go-NEB](https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb) for you.

Go-NEB is a Matrix bot written in Go. It is the successor to Matrix-NEB, the original Matrix bot written in Python.

See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.


## Registering the bot users

The playbook does not automatically create users for you. The bot requires at least 1 access token to be able to connect to your homeserver.

You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot.

Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: `pwgen -s 64 1`.

If you use curl, you can immediatly copy/paste the access token into the configuration file.

```
curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
    "identifier": { "type": "m.id.user", "user": "bot.go-neb" },
    "password": "a strong password",
    "type": "m.login.password"
}' 'https://matrix.YOURDOMAIN/_matrix/client/r0/login'
```

You can use also use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):

```
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.go-neb password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
```

And then log in via element, but doing so might lead to decryption problems. That warning comes from [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb#quick-start)

## Adjusting the playbook configuration

Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):

```yaml
matrix_bot_go_neb_enabled: true

# You need at least 1 client.
matrix_bot_go_neb_clients:
  - UserID: "@goneb:{{ matrix_domain }}"
    AccessToken: "MDASDASJDIASDJASDAFGFRGER"
    DeviceID: "DEVICE1"
    HomeserverURL: "{{ matrix_homeserver_container_url }}"
    Sync: true
    AutoJoinRooms: true
    DisplayName: "Go-NEB!"
    AcceptVerificationFromUsers: [":{{ matrix_domain }}"]

## Installing

After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again:

```
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
```


## Usage

To use the bot, invite it to any existing Matrix room (`/invite @whatever_you_chose:DOMAIN` where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain, make sure you have permission from the room owner if that's not you).

Basic usage is like this: `!echo hi` or `!imgur puppies` or `!giphy matrix`

If you enabled the github_cmd service you can get the supported commands via `!github help`
