# Maubot installer
Bash installer for https://github.com/maubot/maubot/ with nginx and letsencrypt frontend.
Once installed, you will be able to run matrix bots in the wild!
See [this tutorial](https://www.tmplab.org/2020/04/01/how-to-install-and-run-bots-for-the-matrix-network/) for details.
## Requirements
Debian Buster minimum as you need Python 3.6 or higher
## crash course
```
# 1. First create a subdomain which points to your server IP address
# 2.a) Then download and install
wget https://git.interhacker.space/alban/maubot-installer/raw/branch/master/install.sh/
bash install.sh
# 2.b) Or clone with git
git clone https://git.interhacker.space/alban/maubot-installer.git
cd maubot-installer
bash install.sh
# 3) Run the secure db install for security
bash secure-db-install.sh
# Optionnaly use the plugin installer if you cloned
# Edit the variables
$EDITOR plugin-install.sh
# OR use a config file
cp config.default config && $EDITOR config
bash plugin-install.sh
```
The script asks you some questions before install.
* **Which domain will be used to connect to your bot (ex: maubot.example.com)?**
Caution, this one requires you to act BEFORE you install, or things might not work.
Maubot has a web frontend, so it is recommanded to create a subdomain to host it.
Provide the subdomain you created as a reply.
* **Which domain is the matrix 'Home Server' you register your bots on?**
If you're not sure, you probably don't run your own matrix server. It's fine. Just provide the matrix server on which you will create your bot's account.
* **What will be your user name in the maubot interface?**
Maubot is a web app with a login / password interface. What will be your login?
* **What will be the pass for user '$maubot_user' in the maubot interface?**
Maubot is a web app with a login / password interface. What will be your password?
* **Do you want to enable SSL via letsencrypt [Y/n]?**
By default, this script will get an SSL/TLS certificate for you. This is the recommended and secure way.
* **If the 'Home Server' is yours, what is the registration secret (ignore if you don't know what this is)?**
If you run your own matrix server, provide the hyper secure registration secret password. Otherwise, let it empty.
* **Which install dir to use (Default: /opt/maubot)?**
Where do you intend the maubot code to reside on your server.
* **Which unix user will own and execute the maubot code?**
Which system user will be responsible for running the server.
## Using the config file
The scripts use a `config` file to record your variables.
```
cp config.sample config
nano config # Edit
```
