Slavi Pantaleev d9bee18ddd Rename matrix_mautrix_wsproxy_* variables to matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_*
Part of adopting a uniform naming policy for bridge variables,
where the variable prefix matches the role directory name.

The companion appservice variables defined by this role are folded
under the role prefix as well: matrix_mautrix_androidsms_* becomes
matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_androidsms_* and matrix_mautrix_imessage_*
becomes matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_imessage_*.

matrix_mautrix_signal_wsproxy_syncproxy_connection_string becomes
matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_syncproxy_connection_string, aligning it
with the sibling matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_syncproxy_* variables.

# Setting up Mautrix wsproxy for bridging Android SMS or Apple iMessage (optional)
<sup>Refer the common guide for configuring mautrix bridges: [Setting up a Generic Mautrix Bridge](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md)</sup>
The playbook can install and configure [mautrix-wsproxy](https://github.com/mautrix/wsproxy) for you.
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/mautrix/wsproxy/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
## Adjusting DNS records
By default, this playbook installs wsproxy on the `wsproxy.` subdomain (`wsproxy.example.com`) and requires you to create a CNAME record for `wsproxy`, which targets `matrix.example.com`.
When setting, replace `example.com` with your own.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_enabled: true
matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_androidsms_appservice_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_androidsms_homeserver_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_imessage_appservice_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_imessage_homeserver_token: 'secret token from bridge'
matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_syncproxy_shared_secret: 'secret token from bridge'
```
Note that the tokens must match what is compiled into the [mautrix-imessage](https://github.com/mautrix/imessage) bridge running on your Mac or Android device.
### Adjusting the wsproxy URL (optional)
By tweaking the `matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_hostname` variable, you can easily make the service available at a **different hostname** than the default one.
Example additional configuration for your `vars.yml` file:
```yaml
# Change the default hostname
matrix_bridge_mautrix_wsproxy_hostname: ws.example.com
```
After changing the domain, **you may need to adjust your DNS** records to point the wsproxy domain to the Matrix server.
### Extending the configuration
There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#extending-the-configuration) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about variables that you can customize and the bridge's default configuration, including [bridge permissions](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#configure-bridge-permissions-optional), [encryption support](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-encryption-optional), [relay mode](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#enable-relay-mode-optional), [bot's username](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-the-bots-username-optional), etc.
## Installing
After configuring the playbook and potentially [adjusting your DNS records](#adjusting-dns-records), run the playbook with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
```sh
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
```
The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
## Usage
Follow the [mautrix-imessage documentation](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/imessage/index.html) for running `android-sms` and/or `matrix-imessage` on your device(s).
## Troubleshooting
As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-mautrix-wsproxy`.
