Slavi Pantaleev 4267ed8e0b Mark the beeper-linkedin bridge as unmaintained
Its upstream repository has been archived and has not seen a change
since March 2025. mautrix-linkedin now covers the same use case.

The bridge remains installable, but as with other deprecated and
unmaintained components, it is no longer listed in the README and has
been moved to the deprecated services section of the documentation.

# Setting up Beeper Linkedin bridging (optional, unmaintained)
**Note**: this bridge is unmaintained. Its upstream repository has been archived and has not seen a change since March 2025. For bridging to LinkedIn, consider using the [mautrix-linkedin](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-linkedin.md) bridge instead, which is actively maintained and also supported by the playbook.
The playbook can install and configure [beeper-linkedin](https://github.com/beeper/linkedin) for you, for bridging to [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/) Messaging. This bridge is based on the mautrix-python framework and can be configured in a similar way to the mautrix bridges.
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/beeper/linkedin/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
## Prerequisite
### Enable Appservice Double Puppet or Shared Secret Auth (optional)
If you want to set up [Double Puppeting](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/double-puppeting.html) (hint: you most likely do) for this bridge automatically, you need to have enabled [Appservice Double Puppet](configuring-playbook-appservice-double-puppet.md) or [Shared Secret Auth](configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md) service for this playbook.
See [this section](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md#set-up-double-puppeting-optional) on the [common guide for configuring mautrix bridges](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-bridges.md) for details about setting up Double Puppeting.
**Note**: double puppeting with the Shared Secret Auth works at the time of writing, but is deprecated and will stop working in the future.
## 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_beeper_linkedin_enabled: true
```
### 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.
**Note**: when following the guide to configure the bridge, make sure to replace `_mautrix_SERVICENAME_` in the variable names with `_beeper_linkedin_`.
## Installing
After configuring the playbook, run it 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
To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `@linkedinbot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
You then need to send `login YOUR_LINKEDIN_EMAIL_ADDRESS` to the bridge bot to enable bridging for your LinkedIn account.
## 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-beeper-linkedin`.
### Increase logging verbosity
The default logging level for this component is `WARNING`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
```yaml
matrix_bridge_beeper_linkedin_logging_level: DEBUG
```
### Bridge asking for 2FA even if you don't have 2FA enabled
If you don't have 2FA enabled and are logging in from a strange IP for the first time, LinkedIn will send an email with a one-time code. You can use this code to authorize the bridge session. In my experience, once the IP is authorized, you will not be asked again.
