# Setting up Appservice Discord (optional)
|
|
|
|
**Note**: bridging to [Discord](https://discordapp.com/) can also happen via the [mx-puppet-discord](configuring-playbook-bridge-mx-puppet-discord.md) bridge supported by the playbook.
|
|
|
|
The playbook can install and configure [matrix-appservice-discord](https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-discord) for you.
|
|
|
|
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-discord/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setup Instructions
|
|
|
|
Instructions loosely based on [this](https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-discord#setting-up).
|
|
|
|
1. Create a Discord Application [here](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications).
|
|
2. Retrieve Client ID.
|
|
3. Create a bot from the Bot tab and retrieve the Bot token.
|
|
4. Enable the bridge with the following configuration in your `vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_appservice_discord_enabled: true
|
|
matrix_appservice_discord_client_id: "YOUR DISCORD APP CLIENT ID"
|
|
matrix_appservice_discord_bot_token: "YOUR DISCORD APP BOT TOKEN"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. If you've already installed Matrix services using the playbook before, you'll need to re-run it (`--tags=setup-all,start`). If not, proceed with [configuring other playbook services](configuring-playbook.md) and then with [Installing](installing.md). Get back to this guide once ready.
|
|
6. Retrieve Discord invite link from the `{{ matrix_appservice_discord_config_path }}/invite_link` file on the server (this defaults to `/matrix/appservice-discord/config/invite_link`). You need to peek at the file on the server via SSH, etc., because it's not available via HTTP(S).
|
|
7. Invite the Bot to Discord servers you wish to bridge. Administrator permission is recommended.
|
|
8. Room addresses follow this syntax: `#_discord_guildid_channelid`. You can easily find the guild and channel ids by logging into Discord in a browser and opening the desired channel. The URL will have this format: `discordapp.com/channels/guild_id/channel_id`. Once you have figured out the appropriate room addrss, you can join by doing `/join #_discord_guildid_channelid` in your Matrix client.
|
|
|
|
Other configuration options are available via the `matrix_appservice_discord_configuration_extension_yaml` variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting Administrator access in a room
|
|
|
|
By default, you won't have Administrator access in rooms created by the bridge.
|
|
|
|
To [adjust room access privileges](#adjusting-room-access-privileges) or do various other things (change the room name subsequently, etc.), you'd wish to become an Administrator.
|
|
|
|
There's the Discord bridge's guide for [setting privileges on bridge managed rooms](https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-discord/blob/master/docs/howto.md#set-privileges-on-bridge-managed-rooms). To do the same with our container setup, run the following command on the server:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker exec -it matrix-appservice-discord \
|
|
/bin/sh -c 'cp /cfg/registration.yaml /tmp/discord-registration.yaml && cd /tmp && node /build/tools/adminme.js -c /cfg/config.yaml -m "!ROOM_ID:SERVER" -u "@USER:SERVER" -p 100'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Adjusting room access privileges
|
|
|
|
All rooms created by the bridge are **listed publicly** in your server's directory and **joinable by everyone** by default.
|
|
|
|
To get more control of them, [make yourself a room Administrator](#getting-administrator-access-in-a-room) first.
|
|
|
|
You can then unlist the room from the directory and change the join rules.
