This is an instagram puppeting bridge for matrix. It is based on mx-puppet-bridge.
To use the bridge outside a docker container, the following method can be used.
They have been tested on Ubuntu linux, but the steps in general should be adapatable to must Unix-like systems without many changes. The following config assumes bridge and synapse is running on the same host/container.
# install global dependencies
# NodeJS version 12 or newer required for sqlite3 support!
sudo apt install sqlite3 nodejs wget
# obtain bridge
mkdir -p $HOME/bridges
cd $HOME/bridges
git clone https://github.com/Sorunome/mx-puppet-instagram
cd mx-puppet-instagram
# obtain sample config, customize
wget -O config.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sorunome/mx-puppet-bridge/master/sample.config.yaml
nano config.yaml
# get dependencies
npm install
# compile typescript-code to javascript
npm run build
# generate registration file, deploy. adapt as needed
npm start -r
sudo cp instagram-registration.yaml /etc/matrix-synapse/
sudo chown matrix-synapse /etc/matrix-synapse/instagram-registration.yaml
# manually add registration to synapse daemon. adapt as needed
sudo nano /etc/matrix-synapse/homeserver.yaml
# restart matrix daemon
sudo systemctl restart matrix-synapse
# run actual bridge
npm start
# Out of scope: make it run as a persistent daemon/service/systemd-unitIn Element/Riot start a chat with @_instagrampuppet_bot:your.matrix.domain. In this chat you can issue commands, and help will list all available commands.
To simply get started issue the following commands:
# connect to instagram
link your_instagram_username your_instagram_password
# enable puppeting,
setmatrixtoken your_riot_element_accesstoken
That's it. Go have fun!
