# Setting up Matrix Corporal (optional, advanced)
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
**WARNING**: This is an advanced feature! It requires prior experience with Matrix and a specific need for using [Matrix Corporal](https://github.com/devture/matrix-corporal). If you're unsure whether you have such a need, you most likely don't.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The playbook can install and configure [matrix-corporal](https://github.com/devture/matrix-corporal) for you.
|
|
|
|
In short, it's a sort of automation and firewalling service, which is helpful if you're instaling Matrix services in a controlled corporate environment.
|
|
See that project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
|
|
|
|
If you decide that you'd like to let this playbook install it for you, you'd need to also:
|
|
- (required) [set up the Shared Secret Auth password provider module](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md)
|
|
- (optional, but encouraged) [set up the REST authentication password provider module](configuring-playbook-rest-auth.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Playbook configuration
|
|
|
|
You would then need some configuration like this:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# The Shared Secret Auth password provider module is required for Corporal to work.
|
|
# See configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md
|
|
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_shared_secret_auth_enabled: true
|
|
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_shared_secret_auth_shared_secret: YOUR_SHARED_SECRET_GOES_HERE
|
|
|
|
# When matrix-corporal is acting as the primary authentication provider,
|
|
# you need to set up the REST authentication password provider module
|
|
# to make Interactive User Authentication work.
|
|
# This is necessary for certain user actions (like E2EE, device management, etc).
|
|
#
|
|
# See configuring-playbook-rest-auth.md
|
|
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_enabled: true
|
|
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_endpoint: "http://matrix-corporal:41080/_matrix/corporal"
|
|
|
|
matrix_corporal_enabled: true
|
|
|
|
matrix_corporal_policy_provider_config: |
|
|
{
|
|
"Type": "http",
|
|
"Uri": "https://intranet.example.com/matrix/policy",
|
|
"AuthorizationBearerToken": "SOME_SECRET",
|
|
"CachePath": "/var/cache/matrix-corporal/last-policy.json",
|
|
"ReloadIntervalSeconds": 1800,
|
|
"TimeoutMilliseconds": 300
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# If you also want to enable Matrix Corporal's HTTP API..
|
|
matrix_corporal_http_api_enabled: true
|
|
matrix_corporal_http_api_auth_token: "AUTH_TOKEN_HERE"
|
|
|
|
# If you need to change matrix-corporal's user id from the default (matrix-corporal).
|
|
# In any case, you need to make sure this Matrix user is created on your server.
|
|
matrix_corporal_corporal_user_id_local_part: "matrix-corporal"
|
|
|
|
# Because Corporal peridoically performs lots of user logins from the same IP,
|
|
# you may need raise Synapse's ratelimits.
|
|
# The values below are just an example. Tweak to your use-case (number of users, etc.)
|
|
matrix_synapse_rc_login:
|
|
address:
|
|
per_second: 50
|
|
burst_count: 300
|
|
account:
|
|
per_second: 0.17
|
|
burst_count: 3
|
|
failed_attempts:
|
|
per_second: 0.17
|
|
burst_count: 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Matrix Corporal operates with a specific Matrix user on your server.
|
|
By default, it's `matrix-corporal` (controllable by the `matrix_corporal_reconciliation_user_id_local_part` setting, see above).
|
|
No matter what Matrix user id you configure to run it with, make sure that:
|
|
|
|
- the Matrix Corporal user is created by [registering it](registering-users.md). Use a password you remember, as you'll need to log in from time to time to create or join rooms
|
|
|
|
- the Matrix Corporal user is joined and has Admin/Moderator-level access to any rooms you want it to manage
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Matrix Corporal files
|
|
|
|
The following local filesystem paths are mounted in the `matrix-corporal` container and can be used in your configuration (or policy):
|
|
|
|
- `/matrix/corporal/config` is mounted at `/etc/matrix-corporal` (read-only)
|
|
|
|
- `/matrix/corporal/var` is mounted at `/var/matrix-corporal` (read and write)
|
|
|
|
- `/matrix/corporal/cache` is mounted at `/var/cache/matrix-corporal` (read and write)
|
|
|
|
As an example: you can create your own configuration files in `/matrix/corporal/config` and they will appear in `/etc/matrix-corporal` in the Docker container. Your configuration (stuff in `matrix_corporal_policy_provider_config`) needs to refer to these files via the local container path `/etc/matrix-corporal`
