Setting up Appservice Discord (optional)

The playbook can install and configure matrix-appservice-discord for you.

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

Setup Instructions:

loosely based on this.

1. Create a Discord Application here.
2. Retrieve Client ID.
3. Create a bot from the Bot tab and retrieve the Bot token.
4. Enable the bridge with the following configuration in your vars.yml file:

matrix_appservice_discord_enabled: true
matrix_appservice_discord_client_id: "YOUR DISCORD APP CLIENT ID"
matrix_appservice_discord_bot_token: "YOUR DISCORD APP BOT TOKEN"

4. If you’ve already installed Matrix services using the playbook before, you’ll need to re-run it (--tags=setup-all,start). If not, proceed with configuring other playbook services and then with Installing. Get back to this guide once ready.
5. Retrieve Discord invite link from the {{ matrix_appservice_discord_config_path }}/invite_link file on the server (this defaults to /matrix/appservice-discord/config/invite_link)
6. Invite the Bot to Discord servers you wish to bridge. Administrator permission is recommended.
7. Join the rooms by following this syntax #_discord_guildid_channelid - can be easily retrieved by logging into Discord in a browser and opening the desired channel. URL will have this format: discordapp.com/channels/guild_id/channel_id

Other configuration options are available via the matrix_appservice_discord_configuration_extension_yaml variable.
