Setting up Go-NEB (optional)
The playbook can install and configure 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 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:
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.
Adjusting the playbook configuration
Add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml file (adapt to your needs):
matrix_bot_go_neb_enabled: true
# You need at least 1 client.
# Use the access token you obtained in the step above.
matrix_bot_go_neb_clients:
- UserID: "@goneb:{{ matrix_domain }}"
AccessToken: "MDASDASJDIASDJASDAFGFRGER"

Installing
Don't forget to add goneb.<your-domain> to DNS as described in Configuring DNS before running the playbook.
After configuring the playbook, run the installation 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
