Slavi Pantaleev eb0af09bf5 Remove the appservice-kakaotalk bridge
The bridge could only be installed by self-building its source code,
and its upstream repository (on src.miscworks.net) has become
unreachable (the Internet Archive last saw it alive in May 2026),
making installation impossible. The bridge was also based on the
long-unmaintained node-kakao library and carried a warning that using
it may get KakaoTalk accounts banned.

The playbook catches leftover matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_* variables
and points users to the manual uninstallation instructions.

# Setting up Appservice Kakaotalk bridging (optional, removed)
🪦 The playbook used to be able to install and configure [matrix-appservice-kakaotalk](https://src.miscworks.net/fair/matrix-appservice-kakaotalk) (a bridge to [Kakaotalk](https://www.kakaocorp.com/page/service/service/KakaoTalk?lang=ENG)), but no longer includes this component.
The bridge could only be installed by self-building its source code, and its upstream repository has become unreachable, which makes installation impossible. The bridge was also based on the now-unmaintained [node-kakao](https://github.com/storycraft/node-kakao) library, and there have been reports that using it may get your Kakaotalk account banned.
## Uninstalling the component manually
If you still have matrix-appservice-kakaotalk installed on your Matrix server, the playbook can no longer help you uninstall it and you will need to do it manually. To uninstall manually, run these commands on the server:
```sh
systemctl disable --now matrix-appservice-kakaotalk.service
systemctl disable --now matrix-appservice-kakaotalk-node.service
rm -rf /matrix/appservice-kakaotalk
```
