## Matrix ## Prerequsistes
You need a Matrix account on Matrix.org (or any other server).
The bot outputs `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` to the console if it is not already set but `MATRIX_BOT_USERNAME` & `MATRIX_BOT_PASSWORD` are. ### Matrix
- You need a Matrix account on Matrix.org (or any other server) for the bot user.
You must set `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` to use this token. Do not use it with any other client. Per default, whoever knows the name of your bot can add it to their rooms and start chatting. Access can be restricted by setting `MATRIX_BLACKLIST` or `MATRIX_WHISTLIST` in your `.env` file. When using a self-hosted setup, you could wildcard all your user by adding `MATRIX_WHITELIST=:anotherhomeserver.example` and change it to your homeserver address.
You no longer need `MATRIX_BOT_PASSWORD` set but you can leave it if you want. ### OpenAI / ChatGPT
- You need to have an account at [openai.com. ](https://openai.com/) Its recommended to use an google account without 2FA for set up the account to avoid unsolvable captchas. Then, set `OPENAI_LOGIN_TYPE` to `google` in your `.env` file

Ensure your OpenAI account uses Google and set `OPENAI_LOGIN_TYPE` to `google`.

## Setup
At first run, the bot outputs `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` to the console if it is not already set but `MATRIX_BOT_USERNAME` & `MATRIX_BOT_PASSWORD` are.
You must set `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` to use this token. Do not use it with any other client. Also, do not use an access token extracted via Element. This can cause issues with encryption later on.
You no longer need `MATRIX_BOT_PASSWORD` set but you can leave it if you want.
# Run # Run
There are multiple ways to run this bot. The easiest way is to run it within docker. You need to be logged into your OpenAi account from the same network your bot machine is. When you are logged in, you can safely close the window, just make sure you do not log out because this would make your session token invalid.

Encryption works great with this package but can sometimes be a bit sensitive. Following steps can help to solve the "encryption" error Encryption works great with this package but can sometimes be a bit sensitive. Following steps can help to solve the "encryption" error
- Don't use a `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` extracted via Element-App, use the generated token from this package based on your `MATRIX_BOT_USERNAME` & `MATRIX_BOT_PASSWORD` set in the env-file. It will be visible in the console at start up.

It will be visible in the console at start up if the `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` is not already set:
1) Remove the `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` from the `env` file and make sure `MATRIX_BOT_USERNAME` & `MATRIX_BOT_PASSWORD` are set
2) Re-run the bot
3) Copy the token from console output to your `env` file
4) Restart the bot again.
- If all fails, you can always reset your key storage. It's important to exercise all of the following steps, because any remaining data could lead to the next encryption error. Once everything is working, make sure to not touch the "storage" folder anymore: - If all fails, you can always reset your key storage. It's important to exercise all of the following steps, because any remaining data could lead to the next encryption error.

1. Stop the Bot 1) Stop the bot

3. Delete all user data of your matrix bot account (e.g. using Synapse-Admin) 3) Delete all user data of your matrix bot account (e.g. using Synapse-Admin) or create a fresh bot user account (you can then skip step 4)
4. Log into your bot account (e.g. via Element) and log out of all sessions 4) Log into your bot account (e.g. via Element) and log out of all sessions
5. Verify your env-file and then run the bot setup again (e.g. via `docker-compose up` if you use docker-compose). 5) Verify the correctness of your `env` file and then run the bot setup again (e.g. via `docker-compose up` if you use docker-compose).
- If you experience this error after adding the bot to a new room but it was working before, you can try to use the command `/discardsession` in the element app to drop the session and trigger a new one. In this error case, the error only appears on a specific device, so using another client should work eitherway. - If you experience this error after adding the bot to a new room but it was working before, you can try to use the command `/discardsession` in the element app to drop the session and trigger a new one.

- If the bot can't log into your OpenAI account, your session token might not been valid anymore (e.g. you logged out of your OpenAI-Account through your Browser).

## I'm getting a "{ errcode: 'M_NOT_FOUND', error: 'Event not found.' }" in my log files, do I need to worry?
- So far, its not known to cause issues, you can safely ignore it.
## What to do if I get a TimeoutError, e.g. "TimeoutError: Navigation timeout of 30000 ms exceeded"?
This can happen if your bot can't reach the openai server.
- Make sure that your machine can reach the internet (e.g. using curl: `curl -I www.google.com` should give you a useful output (not "Could not resolve host")
- When using docker, you first need to get inside the container via `docker exec -it matrix-chatgpt-bot bash` and get the curl package `apt-get update && apt install -y curl`). You can then run the command from within the container.
- Verify that you are using a google account and 2FA is **NOT** activated.
## ChatGPT is at capacity right now?
There are multiple ways out there on what to do, so see this just as some ideas
- If you can't login via website, try clearing your browser cache by pressing "shift" and reload the OpenAI page https://chat.openai.com
- If your bot can't connect, just be a bit patient, it typically does not take long until it's back
## How do I know that the bot is running succesfully?
Once the bot has started succesfully, it will output the following information to your console.
- `[INFO] [index] Starting bot...`
- `[INFO] [MatrixClientLite] End-to-end encryption enabled` ## this is dependend on your setup
- `[INFO] [index] Bot started!`
## I use Docker but I don't see an console output
You most likely need to view the logs by running `docker logs matrix-chatgpt-bot`
