bash 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.
