It didn't mention `matrix_appservice_discord_client_id` and `matrix_appservice_discord_bot_token`, which makes it hard for beginners. Related to #105 (Github Pull Request).

# Setting up Appservice Discord (optional)
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
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/me/create).
|
|
2. Retrieve Client ID and Bot token from this Application.
|
|
3. 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"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. 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.
|
|
5. Retrieve Discord invitelink from the `{{ matrix_appservice_discord_base_path }}/invite_link` file on the server (this defaults to `/matrix/appservice-discord/invite_link`)
|
|
6. Invite the Bot to Discord servers you wish to bridge. Administrator permission is recommended.
|
|
7. Join the rooms by following this syntax `#_discord_guildid_channelid` - can be easily retrieved by logging into Discord in a browser and opening the desired channel. URL will have this format: discordapp.com/channels/guild_id/channel_id
|
|
|
|
Other configuration options are available via the `matrix_appservice_discord_configuration_extension_yaml` variable.
