Setting up Mautrix Telegram (optional)
The playbook can install and configure mautrix-telegram for you.
See the project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
You'll need to obtain API keys from https://my.telegram.org/apps and then use the following playbook configuration:
matrix_mautrix_telegram_enabled: true
matrix_mautrix_telegram_api_id: YOUR_TELEGRAM_APP_ID
matrix_mautrix_telegram_api_hash: YOUR_TELEGRAM_API_HASH
Set up Double Puppeting
If you'd like to use Double Puppeting (hint: you most likely do), you have 2 ways of going about it.
Method 1: automatically, by enabling Shared Secret Auth
The bridge will automatically perform Double Puppeting if you enable Shared Secret Auth for this playbook.
This is the recommended way of setting up Double Puppeting, as it's easier to accomplish, works for all your users automatically, and has less of a chance of breaking in the future.
Method 2: manually, by asking each user to provide a working access token
Note: This method for enabling Double Puppeting can be configured only after you've already set up bridging.
When using this method, each user that wishes to enable Double Puppeting needs to follow the following steps:
-
retrieve a Matrix access token for yourself. Refer to the documentation on how to do that.
-
send
login-matrix
to the bot and follow instructions about how to send the access token to it -
make sure you don't log out the
Mautrix-Telegram
device some time in the future, as that would break the Double Puppeting feature
Usage
You then need to start a chat with @telegrambot:YOUR_DOMAIN
(where YOUR_DOMAIN
is your base domain, not the matrix.
domain).
If you want to use the relay-bot feature (relay bot documentation), which allows anonymous user to chat with telegram users, use the following additional playbook configuration:
matrix_mautrix_telegram_bot_token: YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
matrix_mautrix_telegram_configuration_extension_yaml: |
bridge:
permissions:
'*': relaybot
You might also want to give permissions to administrate the bot:
matrix_mautrix_telegram_configuration_extension_yaml: |
bridge:
permissions:
'@user:DOMAIN': admin
More details about permissions in this example: https://github.com/mautrix/telegram/blob/master/mautrix_telegram/example-config.yaml#L410
If you like to exclude all groups from syncing and use the Telgeram-Bridge only for direct chats, you can add the following additional playbook configuration:
matrix_mautrix_telegram_filter_mode: whitelist
