# Matrix Registration Bot

This bot aims to create and manage registration tokens for a matrix server. It wants to help invitation based servers to maintain usability.
It does not create a user itself, but rather aims to make use of [MSC3231](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/3231-token-authenticated-registration.md).
The feature is still experimental. More information can be found in the [Synapse Documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/administration/admin_api/registration_tokens.html).

# Getting started

## Prerequisites

**Server configuration**

Your server should be configured to a token restricted registration. Add the following to your `homeserver.yaml`:

```yaml
enable_registration: true
registration_requires_token: true
```

**Create a bot account**

Then you need to create an account for the bot on the server, like you would do with any other account.
A good username is `registration-bot`. Also note the access token of the bot. One way to get the token is to login as 
the bot and got to Settings -> Help & About -> Access Token in Element.

Once you are finished you can start the installation of the bot.

## Installation

The installation can easily be done via [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/matrix-registration-bot/)
```bash
$ pip install matrix-registration-bot
```

## Configuration

Configure the bot with a file named `config.yml`. It should look like this

```yaml
bot:
  server: "https://synapse.example.com"
  username: "registerbot"
  access_token: "verysecret"
api:
  # API endpoint of the registration tokens
  base_url: 'https://synapse.example.com'
  endpoint: '/_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens'
  # Access token of an administrator on the server
  token: "supersecret"


```

```bash
python -m matrix_registration_bot.bot
