Setting up Mautrix Instagram (optional)
Note: bridging to Facebook Instagram via this bridge is being superseded by a new bridge - mautrix-meta. For now, the mautrix-instagram bridge continues to work, but the new mautrix-meta-instagram bridge is better and more supported. Consider using that bridge instead of this one.
The playbook can install and configure mautrix-instagram for you.
See the project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
matrix_mautrix_instagram_enabled: true
There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge before you continue.
Encryption support is off by default. If you would like to enable encryption, add the following to your vars.yml file:
matrix_mautrix_instagram_configuration_extension_yaml: |
bridge:
encryption:
allow: true
default: true
If you would like to be able to administrate the bridge from your account it can be configured like this:
# The easy way. The specified Matrix user ID will be made an admin of all bridges
matrix_admin: "@YOUR_USERNAME:{{ matrix_domain }}"
# OR:
# The more verbose way. Applies to this bridge only. You may define multiple Matrix users as admins.
matrix_mautrix_instagram_configuration_extension_yaml: |
bridge:
permissions:
'@YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_DOMAIN': admin
You may wish to look at roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-instagram/templates/config.yaml.j2 and roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-instagram/defaults/main.yml to find other things you would like to configure.
Usage
You then need to start a chat with @instagrambot:YOUR_DOMAIN (where YOUR_DOMAIN is your base domain, not the matrix. domain).
Send login YOUR_INSTAGRAM_EMAIL_ADDRESS YOUR_INSTAGRAM_PASSWORD to the bridge bot to enable bridging for your instagram/Messenger account.
You can learn more here about authentication from the bridge's official documentation on Authentication.
