Setting up Dimension (optional)

Dimension can only be installed after Matrix services are installed and running.
If you're just installing Matrix services for the first time, please continue with the Configuration / Installation flow and come back here later.

Prerequisites

For an Integration Manager like Dimension to work, your server needs to have federation enabled (matrix_synapse_federation_enabled: true). This is the default for this playbook, so unless you've explicitly disabled federation, you're okay.

Other important prerequisite is the dimension.<your-domain> DNS record being set up correctly. See Configuring your DNS server on how to set up DNS record correctly.

Enable

Dimension integrations manager installation is disabled by default. You can enable it in your configuration file (inventory/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml):

matrix_dimension_enabled: true

Define admin users

These users can modify the integrations this Dimension supports. Admin interface is accessible by opening Dimension in Riot and clicking the settings icon.
Add this to your configuration file (inventory/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml):

matrix_dimension_admins: ['@user1:domain.com', '@user2:domain.com']

Access token

You are required to specify an access token for Dimension to work. To get an access token, follow these steps:

  1. In a private browsing session (incognito window), open Riot.
  2. It's better to you use dedicated user for getting access token, so log in with this user's username and password.
  3. Set the display name and avatar, if required.
  4. In the settings page, scroll down to the bottom and click Access Token: <click to reveal>.
  5. Copy the highlighted text to your configuration.
  6. Close the private browsing session. Do not log out. Logging out will invalidate the token, making it not work.

Access tokens are sensitive information. Do not include them in any bug reports, messages, or logs. Do not share the access token with anyone.

Add access token to your configuration file (inventory/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml):

matrix_dimension_access_token: "YOUR ACCESS TOKEN HERE"

For more information on how to acquire an access token, visit https://t2bot.io/docs/access_tokens.

Additional features

To use a more custom configuration, you can define a matrix_dimension_configuration_extension_yaml string variable and put your configuration in it. To learn more about how to do this, refer to the information about matrix_dimension_configuration_extension_yaml in the default variables file of the Dimension component.

You can find all configuration options on GitHub page of Dimension project.
