Matrix - synapse

Howto
#42

Hi @oneitonitram
Matrix - synapse obviously still needs a lot of development. If you search for matrix synapse admin panel you will find a lot of hits.
On github someone has started to develop an admin interface: https://github.com/aminhusni/Trinity_Matrix_Management_GUI
Maybe this is a start? Otherwise I understand you are stuck at commandline db management. Although the recommended way to manage users and rooms is through the API.
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1707#issuecomment-293381066

Here some documentation on the API: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api

#43

then, when we make it a module, we could add some function into neth

#44

Work on the gui looks like abandonned now. I think we should rely on API use for now… Bit if we can have a clear list with commando, that shouldn’t be a showstopper.

#45

commando?!!!

#46

@mrmarkuz can we begin the bridge integrations process today.

i can deploy a test server and help test.

we can begin with:

  1. discord. https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-discord
  2. telegram https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-telegram/wiki/Bridge-setup
  3. puppet bridge, as there are other bridges using the same. https://github.com/Sorunome/mx-puppet-bridge
  4. skype: https://github.com/matrix-hacks/matrix-puppet-skype
  5. twitter: https://github.com/Sorunome/mx-puppet-twitter
    and finally
  6. Facebook : https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-facebook/wiki/Bridge-setup

looks like majority rely on python and virtuel env

#47

I’d like to finish another project today but I can help with matrix bridge installation.

#48

ok. then we begin with the discord bridge.

How to install the discord bridge. and have it work with matrix.riot on nethserver

#49

Seems not trivial. I’ll be back when I got something working but it may take some time…
I hope that other bridge installs are similar…

#50

all of these, if not most, as similar installations.

the ones I left out, are way more complicated.
especially the one for WhatsApp.

well, even thoough we at NethCommunity love complex

#51

I added a Bridges chapter with discord to the howto but I get an error when starting the docker container…

#52

On a sidenote: the matrix weekly blog is quite interesting and informative

i thought there are 2 methods.
installing without docker, and install with docker.
from the content atop, seems you utilized the one without docker.
so why are you running docker?

#54

I thought it’s needed, I didn’t read about 2 methods.

#55

oh, sorry, i had confused with another bridge instructions.
yes its the same process

#56

did you manage to resolve the error you are getting?
as if we could figure it out, we can replicate with other similar modules and get them to work.

#57

Jambo @oneitonitram!

keep up the good work!

Hi, I did install synapse and Riot and it’s working great thanks to your tuto.
I’m actually struggling with videocalls and TURN… Did someone manage to make it work ?
Thanks

Hi,

welcome to our community.

Thanks for testing synapse/riot, feel free to provide your ideas about implementation and preconfiguration.

Check out this post about configuring coturn:

#61

i finally installed a TURN server, i am afraid to touch the homesever.yaml file to to integrate it into matrix/synapse.

Especially the uri, not sure how to set it.
