# 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 user
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`.
You can 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
```
Once the user is created you can [obtain an access token](obtaining-access-tokens.md).
## Decide on a domain and path
By default, Go-NEB is configured to use its own dedicated domain (`goneb.DOMAIN`) and requires you to [adjust your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records).
You can override the domain and path like this:
```yaml
# Switch to the domain used for Matrix services (`matrix.DOMAIN`),
# so we won't need to add additional DNS records for Go-NEB.
matrix_bot_go_neb_hostname: "{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}"
# Expose under the /go-neb subpath
matrix_bot_go_neb_path_prefix: /go-neb
```
**NOTE**: When using `matrix-nginx-proxy` instead of Traefik, you won't be able to override the path prefix. You can only override the domain, but that needs to happen using another variable: `matrix_server_fqn_go_neb` (e.g. `matrix_server_fqn_go_neb: "mybot.{{ matrix_domain }}"`).
## Adjusting DNS records
Once you've decided on the domain and path, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the Go-NEB domain to the Matrix server.
If you've decided to reuse the `matrix.` domain, you won't need to do any extra DNS configuration.
## 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.
# Use the access token you obtained in the step above.

## Installing
After potentially [adjusting DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records) and 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`
You can also refer to the upstream [Documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb).
