The script asks you some questions before install.
2020-04-01 11:09:10 +00:00
2020-04-01 11:15:05 +00:00
* **Which domain will be used to connect to your bot (ex: maubot.example.com)?**
2020-04-01 11:09:10 +00:00
Caution, this one requires you to act BEFORE you install, or things might not work.
Maubot has a web frontend, so it is recommanded to create a subdomain to host it.
Provide the subdomain you created as a reply.
2020-04-01 11:15:05 +00:00
* **Which domain is the matrix 'Home Server' you register your bots on?**
2020-04-01 11:09:10 +00:00
If you're not sure, you probably don't run your own matrix server. It's fine. Just provide the matrix server on which you will create your bot's account.
2020-04-01 11:15:05 +00:00
* **What will be your user name in the maubot interface?**
2020-04-01 11:09:10 +00:00
Maubot is a web app with a login / password interface. What will be your login?
2020-04-01 12:06:53 +00:00
* **What will be the pass for user '$maubot_user' in the maubot interface?**
2020-04-01 11:09:10 +00:00
Maubot is a web app with a login / password interface. What will be your password?
2020-04-01 11:14:26 +00:00
* **Do you want to enable SSL via letsencrypt [Y/n]?**
2020-04-01 11:09:10 +00:00
By default, this script will get an SSL/TLS certificate for you. This is the recommended and secure way.
2020-04-01 11:14:26 +00:00
* **If the 'Home Server' is yours, what is the registration secret (ignore if you don't know what this is)?**
2020-04-01 11:09:10 +00:00
If you run your own matrix server, provide the hyper secure registration secret password. Otherwise, let it empty.
2020-04-01 11:14:26 +00:00
* **Which install dir to use (Default: /opt/maubot)?**
2020-04-01 11:09:10 +00:00
Where do you intend the maubot code to reside on your server.
2020-04-01 11:14:26 +00:00
* **Which unix user will own and execute the maubot code?**
2020-04-01 11:09:10 +00:00
Which system user will be responsible for running the server.
