+# Setting up Matrix Corporal
+
+The playbook can install and configure [matrix-corporal](https://github.com/devture/matrix-corporal) for you.
+
+See that project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
+
+If you decide that you'd like to let this playbook install it for you, you'd need to also [set up the Shared Secret Auth password provider module](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md).
+
+You would then need some configuration like this:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_corporal_enabled: true
+
+matrix_corporal_policy_provider_config: |
+  {
+    "Type": "http",
+    "Uri": "https://intranet.example.com/matrix/policy",
+    "AuthorizationBearerToken": "SOME_SECRET",
+    "CachePath": "/var/cache/matrix-corporal/last-policy.json",
+    "ReloadIntervalSeconds": 1800
+  }
+
+# If you also want to enable Matrix Corporal's HTTP API..
+matrix_corporal_http_api_enabled: true
+matrix_corporal_http_api_auth_token: "AUTH_TOKEN_HERE"
+
+# If you need to change the reconciliator user's id from the default (matrix-corporal)..
+matrix_corporal_reconciliation_user_id_local_part: "matrix-corporal"
+```
+
+The following local filesystem paths are mounted in the `matrix-corporal` container and can be used in your configuration (or policy):
+
+- `/matrix/corporal/config` is mounted at `/etc/matrix-corporal` (read-only)
+
+- `/matrix/corporal/var` is mounted at `/var/matrix-corporal` (read and write)
+
+- `/matrix/corporal/cache` is mounted at `/var/cache/matrix-corporal` (read and write)
