mx-puppet-bridge
Advanced tools
This is a library for easily building puppeting bridges for matrix.
A puppeting bridge is a bridge which logs into a remote account of a service for you (puppeting) and thus allows you to use it via matrix. Matrix will basically act as a client for that remote implementation. Double-puppeting is available, but 100% optional.
In addition to puppeting mode, this library also supports a relay mode: The account of the remote protocol is used as relay bot between the remote protocol and matrix.
Please note that not all protocol implementations support all features. This is just a feature list of the features available in this library.
For group mapping to work the homeserver in use has to support groups and group creation. For
synapse, you need to set enable_group_creation: true in your homeserver.yaml. After that, in the
protocols config.yaml set bridge.enableGroupSync to true.
Relay mode is a mode where the remote puppet acts as a relay bot, rather than a puppeting bot. In relay mode the display name of the author of the message on the matrix side is prepended to the message.
It can be a hassle to have to tell the bridge what your access token is to enable double-puppeting.
To circumvent that automatic double-puppeting is available. Configure your homeserver with
matrix-synapse-secret-auth and set
the secert for that homeserver in the bridge.loginSharedSecretMap mapping.
To bridge a new protocol only a small amount of features has to be implemented. For examples see the corresponding section. For a full list of available endpoints, see bridge.md.
