Setting up ChatGPT (optional)

The playbook can install and configure matrix-chatgpt-bot for you.

Talk to ChatGPT via your favourite Matrix client!

1. Register the bot account

The playbook does not automatically create users for you. The bot requires an access token to be able to connect to your homeserver.

You need to register the bot user manually before setting up the bot.

Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: pwgen -s 64 1.

You can use the playbook to register a new user:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.chatgpt password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user

2. Get an access token

Refer to the documentation on how to obtain an access token.

3. Adjusting the playbook configuration

Add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml file (adapt to your needs):

matrix_bot_chatgpt_enabled: true

# See instructions on
# https://www.npmjs.com/package/chatgpt
matrix_bot_chatgpt_openai_email: ''
matrix_bot_chatgpt_openai_password: ''
matrix_bot_chatgpt_openai_login_type: google

# This is the default username
# matrix_bot_chatgpt_matrix_bot_username_localpart: 'bot.chatgpt'

# Matrix access token (from bot user above)
# see: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/131056/how-to-get-an-access-token-for-element-riot-matrix
matrix_bot_chatgpt_matrix_access_token: ''

You will need to get tokens for ChatGPT.

4. Installing

After configuring the playbook, run the installation command again:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=install-all,start

Usage

To use the bot, invite the @bot.chatgpt:DOMAIN to the room you specified in a config, after that start speaking to it, use the prefix if you configured one or mention the bot.

You can also refer to the upstream documentation.
