Setting up Mjolnir (optional)

The playbook can install and configure Mjolnir for you.

Mjolnir is a moderation tool for Matrix.

See the project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

Registering the bot user

The playbook does not automatically create users for you. The bot requires at least 1 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.mjolnir password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user

Getting an access token

If you use curl, you can get an access token like this:

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
    "identifier": { "type": "m.id.user", "user": "bot.mjolnir" },
    "password": "PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT",
    "type": "m.login.password"
}' 'https://matrix.YOURDOMAIN/_matrix/client/r0/login'

Alternatively, you can use a full-featured client (such as Element) to log in and get the access token from there (note: don't log out from the client as that will invalidate the token), but doing so might lead to decryption problems. That warning comes from here.

Make sure account is free from rate limiting
