The `cinny.<your-domain>` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Cinny](https://github.com/ajbura/cinny) web client. The installation of cinny is disabled by default, it is not a core required component. To learn how to install it, see our [configuring cinny guide](configuring-playbook-client-cinny.md).

## `_matrix-identity._tcp` SRV record setup
To make the [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) Identity Server (which this playbook may optionally install for you) enable its federation features, set up an SRV record that looks like this:

# Setting up Buscarron (optional)
The playbook can install and configure [buscarron](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc/buscarron) for you.
It's a bot you can use to setup **your own helpdesk on matrix**
It's a bot you can use to send any form (HTTP POST, HTML) to a (encrypted) matrix room
## Registering the bot user
By default, the playbook will set up the bot with a username like this: `@buscarron:DOMAIN`.
(to use a different username, adjust the `matrix_bot_buscarron_login` variable).
You **need to register the bot user manually** before setting up the bot. You can use the playbook to [register a new user](registering-users.md):
```
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=buscarron password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user
```
Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: `pwgen -s 64 1`.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
matrix_bot_buscarron_enabled: true
# Adjust this to whatever password you chose when registering the bot user
matrix_bot_buscarron_password: PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT
# Adjust accepted forms
matrix_bot_buscarron_forms:
- name: contact # (mandatory) Your form name, will be used as endpoint, eg: buscarron.DOMAIN/contact
room: "!yourRoomID:DOMAIN" # (mandatory) Room ID where form submission will be posted
redirect: https://DOMAIN # (mandatory) To what page user will be redirected after the form submission
ratelimit: 1r/m # (optional) rate limit of the form, format: <max requests>r/<interval:s,m>, eg: 1r/s or 54r/m
extensions: [] # (optional) list of form extensions (not used yet)
matrix_bot_buscarron_spam_hosts: [] # (optional) list of email domains/hosts that should be rejected automatically
matrix_bot_buscarron_spam_emails: [] # (optional) list of email addresses that should be rejected automatically
```
You will also need to add a DNS record so that buscarron can be accessed.
By default buscarron will use https://buscarron.DOMAIN so you will need to create an CNAME record for `buscarron`.
See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md).
If you would like to use a different domain, add the following to your configuration file (changing it to use your preferred domain):
```yaml
matrix_server_fqn_buscarron: "form.{{ matrix_domain }}"
```
## Installing
After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again:
```
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
```
## Usage
To use the bot, invite the `@buscarron:DOMAIN` to the room you specified in a config, after that any point your form to the form url, example for the `contact` form:
```html
<form method="POST" action="https://buscarron.DOMAIN/contact">
<!--your fields-->
</form>
```
